16 Birthday in Bandung

Blogger!!! I have the most sweetest 16 birthday in the history of sweet sixteen birthday! I celebrated my birthday in one of the crowded city: BANDUNG, and it was celebrate with my best friends too.
Here does the story go:
My friends had planned this vacation a week before exams. On the last day of the exam, 4th of December, we went to Bandung with Bunga, Aisya, Ucha, Vika, Bunga's Mom and Bunga's brother, Indra driving. Sadly, my other friend Michelle could not come because her parents does not let her. We planned to departed from school at 12 but it was delayed by Bunga's brother while waiting for Bunga's brother we went to Bekasi Super Mall then we departed at 2 pm and arrived at Bandung at 5 pm. Our plan after we arrive was visit CiWalk or Cihampelas Walk. After Magrihb, we pray and get ready for CiWalk. CiWalk is rather classy, it have trendy stores, cute cafe, and a cool place to hang out. When we arrived at CiWalk, we searched for food and preferably MIE KOCOK or called NOODLES WHIPPED. Mie Kocok is one of the food that is found in Bandung. Mie kocok with its famous soup is very delicious especially when you eat it during a cold weather. We could not find any Mie Kocok so we went to restaurant called BMP and then we order our food choices. There were noises in CiWalk field and there were dancing competition that are shoot in tv. While we ate we watched it. After we ate, we went to a gift shop, Aisya wanted to buy a gift for Michelle and she bought Michelle a musical crystal ball. We were at that shop until it was closed. We were separated with Bunga's mom and we searched for her, while Bunga have a business to do and that is to enter UGM Medical competition. While Bunga when to the nearest internet cafe with Aisya accompanying her. Vika, Ucha, Bunga's mom, Mas Indra and I were in a cafe called PASAR TONG-TONG.
We waited for Bunga and Aisya but they are taking too long and the cafe was about to be closed too. The remaining Vika, Ucha, Mas Indra and I went for a walk around CiWalk while Bunga's Mom went to the car to rest. We took pictures every where with Mas Indra too.
We found Bunga and Aisya left for the next destination the pancake building.On the way to the pancake building we got lost and we went back to Bunga's house to get Bunga's other brother Mas Oki. When we were waiting for Mas Oki to come out of the house and I went out from the car to get fresh air, Aisya and Vika accompany me. But then I got bored and I was too lazy to get my phone in my bag. I told Aya and Vika I want to get in the car but they did not let me in. A few minutes later, Bunga and Ucha open the car door with cake in their hands. The cake was covered in cheese on top with candles around it. I screamed a happy screamed, then they handed me a package containing a monol black watch that they bought at Bekasi and a bandage that they bought at CiWalk. I put on their gift and blew my candles. Mas Oki showed up and we went to the pancake building.


When we arrived at the pancake building, we ordered grilled ribs and pancakes. Once again my friends lit the candles and sing happy birthday song for me. It was so sweet of them. We ate and took pictures then went home. We arrived at Bunga's house at 2 in the morning. Aisya woke me up at 6 and told me to pray. We prayed and took a shower and also get ready to go to Gazibo. We went with public transport to get to Gazibo and there was a trafic jam! We got out of the public transport and walked to the Gazibo. Gazibo was already packed with people, people shopping, selling, cooking, begging, walking, talking, compromising too. We were planning to buy shirts there with the same colours but we end up buying the same tshirt but different style. We also bought one for Michelle. Aisya have planned a trip to Bali with her family that is why she have leave before 12 o clock to catched up the plane. We left Gazibo at 10 something and head to BSM or Bandung Super Mall.We got lost in bandung searching for BSM and finally we got there. When we got there we were planning to do to nav to sing but we havent the time and we went straight to the primajasa for Aya to go to the airport.

When Aya entered the bus and head for the airport, the rest of us when to Nav and sing for our life. It was kinda expensive for student like us thats why we only rent it for an hour. Hearing Bunga's expression and Ucha's shy face while they are singing made me laughed.
After we sang, we head home to rest. Bunga and Vika dropped dead and slept till magribh while Ucha and I had a trip to go shopping with Bunga's mom to dago's pasar. When were shopping, Bunga's mom treated us by buying us dinner and that is ROASTED RICE! It was a very interesting food. It was covered in banana leaves and was rolled like sponge cake.
Bunga's mom told us to pack because after our last visit to where ever we were visiting we head for Jakarta. Bunga's brother, Mas Oki dropped to a fancy cafe called Stone Cafe. It was so fancy like with candles and a band. The view was awesome, the city with their twinkling light. The atmosphere was oozing. The band played romance songs, the night air blowing lightly, the smell of expensive food and empty wallet hanging in bag. We ordered something light like baked potato, omelet, mint tea, ice cocoa, hot chocolate cake. When we were done with the food, we took pictures and smiled to the camera.
It was getting late and Mas Indra was already taking us home to Jakarta. I found myself asleep in the car at the back and the next thing I knew I was already at Bunga's house in Bekasi.

Thats how my birthday turn out. I hope you, blogger have an awesome SWEET 16 just like me.
