Been wanting to visit Zoo a long time ago, finally I got chance to do it. It was an unplanned trip as usual, we went to Taman Safari which located in the mountainous area of Cisarua. We pay for 22.9$ as admission fee (Foreign visitors will be charge for 31,2$). We spent almost a day but couldn't reach all the venue. There's so many things that we could explore here, it's quite worth every penny. It's a best choice to spend a weekend or day off with family or friends here. Here are some highlights of Taman Safari:

There are two sections for Safari Ride, the one with a "Feeding Allowed" Sign and the one with dangeraous predators (visitors should keep the windows closed at all times). Pay attention for signs to ensure the safety.

First section got me super excited, we're allowed to feed various animals with some carrots (we bought at stalls before entering Taman Safari). They seems really aggresive by swarmed around the car and I was super excited!!

Picture 7: Is it Llama or just ordinary Camel?

Picture 8: They both madly inlove with each other, they can't get enough of touching.

The Dolpins shows was scheduled at 1 pm, we enjoyed the shows for twenty minutes. I remembered the last time I attend this kinda shows when I was three years old lol. You can also get a chance to take a photo with the dolphin, but they will charge you for an extra fee. After the dolphins, We went to Wild-Wild West Cowboys shows which scheduled at 1:30 pm. The Cowboy shows will give you tense feeling with a lot of gunshots, horses running around, plus the fire effect. Unfortunately, we're not allowed to record any video during the shows.

Picture 17: I forgot the other name, but those two are Justin and Naruto. Why on earth...

Well, for starters, there are so many things going on lately even it's only the third month of 2019. 

First of all, the new job is reallyyy reaaalllyyyy consumes me (both the energy and the mind). Still trying to adjust with all the pressures. Well last month, I fell sick and was hospitalized for 7 days. At the same time, my Grandpa just passed away. I've sent all my prayers to him. February was so gloomy.

After a long hard workweek which really drain my energy, I felt like a robot who woke up every morning being a corporate slave washed away by a hectic work until noon. Fell asleep at night and repeat that shitty routines from Monday to Friday. I was about to give up back and forth, complaining and whining about everything... Wow adulthood is really sucks man, the thought of making your own money were nothing like the kind you'd expect as an independent carreer-woman. Well you've been working as hell, you got paid, but you also got bills to pay. There was one of  the hella day while I was on the train to work, I called my mom and said I can't stand it anymore, I want to quit the job and come back home instead. She said "Okay, do not hesitate, come home then. I've never asked you to bother yourself, it was your choice after all." 

But I've been thinking and thinking and alot of thinking until later on I realized, that is the phase of life you have to face it whether you like it or not. I tried to see the silver lining though. I convinced my self to have some responsibilities and stood up for what I chose. I believe all the struggles will pay off eventually. So yeah, I survived (at least until now, lol) 

I just need to find a way how to recharge myself. So last weekend, I went on staycation with close friends. We book a nice place to stay from Airbnb. It is located in such an exquisite neighborhood at Gerlong-Bandung. The house is warm, clean, and smells really good. It gave us the comfy feeling like home yet still so fancy like on a vacation. The time we've spent are good enough to help us rebuild the positivity energy. Laughing till it hurts was the best medicine in the world.

Notes: I grabbed first and second pictures from their website, not the credits of mine. I've been busy enjoying the serenity of Bandung so I forgot to take some pictures for my blog.

Sri Mariamman Temple is located in three different places; Singapore, Penang, and Medan North Sumatera. Clearly, I've visited the one in Medan. This is my first experience visiting India's Temple.

Said one of Dewanagari पण्डित / Pandita there which made me automatically nodded. He wore an orange cloth wrapped around his body, with a Bindi on his forehead (Bindi is a red dot on the forehead. It's a symbol as the third chakra of intelligence and beauty, and can protect it from bad luck).

Sri Mariamman was built in 1884 in Little India (Kampung Keling) in Medan for the worship of Goddess Mariamman. According to Hindu beliefs, Goddess Mariamman is the goddess of Rain and also have a power to cure many diseases, outbreaks of severe illnesses.   

The architecture's color is quite amusing with very unique ornaments on every wall. Inside the temple, there are three chambers on the corner are known as Lord Vishnu-Siva-Brahma. I saw one of Indian entered the room and pray there.

The locals are very amicable, when they saw us wanted to see the temple they got really excited. They guide us to put our shoes outside the temple first, and then let us in. Anyway, if you're on your period you 're not allow to get into the temple (Same rule for the mosque, right?). 

So here it is... Check out some photos that I took~

Reliable, affordable, accessible. That three words decribes GOKL the most. It's a pink Bus by the way, they have four lines: Purple line, Green line, Blue line, and Red line. Each line had a different route, just hop into the bus and enjoy the ride!
