My darling oppa turned twenty three last Sunday, so as always it is a must to for us to celebrate. It feels  like it was only few months back that we threw a surprise at Movenpick for him as well as the Running Man mission surprise, both blogged HERE and HERE. A lot of things have changed since then but I thank God things between the five of us still remain the same. 

Inside Lysa's room after preparing everything we need for the surprise. 

Setting up the candles outside Hariz's house. 

I loveeee the cake so much! Decorated with so much love by yours truly. 

Got it done at The Icing Room.

Had my girls' names decorated on the sides of the cake.& obviously those face icings represent us. Cute hor!

SURPRISE!!!!

Birthday boy busuk belum mandi!

Still dazed and confused till he doesn't even know how to smile for the camera lol

Us sans Fina who was on her way back from work. 

Off we left for the next surprise, but first! Bully the birthday boy by blindfolding him nyiahaha~

He showed me how sweaty his palms were after snapping this shot. Poor boy was sooooo nervous LOL

Him : "Can you please tell me where we are now? Are we in a park? I hear people walking next to me! Are they looking at me? Eh are we by the roadside? Why are there so many Pinoys?!"

Me : "Shut up! You're so noisy lah I'm gonna leave you by yourself. Bye!"

Him (thinking he's all alone) : "SIGH what have I done wrong to deserve this..."

LOL

Sorry for bullying you oppa, but you do know that we're doing this cos we love you so much, right?

We were too busy looking for the perfect spot for out picnic that we totally forgot all about the birthday boy LOL. Poor guy was frantically looking for us when he couldn't hear our voices.

Okay, surprise part two!

One pic with us girls...

... and one with em guys.

Love love love my beautiful babes!

Thanks for photobomb-ing -_-

Happy birthday you freak! Can't believe I've known you since I was seven. That's more than half my life!

We spent the rest of the time just talking about anything under the sun & played countless rounds of Charades that made me almost throw up cos I laughed too much lol

*****

Hope you love this simple surprise we had for you oppa. It's nothing extraordinary and fancy, but I must say that it's one of the best days I've ever spent with you and the rest. Thank you for being an awesome friend, someone whom I can always depend on no matter what. Thanks for your all your relationship advice and help in making me look through things in different perspectives.

Most importantly, thank you for being you.

Looking forward to grow old till we have wrinkles tattooed on our foreheads, together.

Signing off this entry with this picture.....

I love you all so much :)

Jogja, Borubudur and Me

This date exactly one month ago, I was in Yogyakarta! How fast time flies! :(

Anxiously waiting for my flight. Sometimes it's pretty hard to believe I was that bold to travel by myself, esp since I still have problems sleeping in my own room alone with the lights off till this day.

As always, opted for a window seat. Look at the immensely blue skies!!!

It was my first time flying with Air Asia and thank God it isn't as bad as I had expected. & it was so empty!

Why hello Jogja!!

I randomly bought a gopro Hero3+ Black Edition a few days before my trip and I must say I didn't regret it at all! Much better pictures and videos quality as compared to my current white edition. Also bought another monopod simply because it's pink lol

My personal driver, Atok, was waiting for me at the arrival area with this sign. Such a friendly guy he is, and best of all he speaks English! So I don't have to fake an Indonesian accent while talking all the time LOL. If you're looking for a driver in Jogja, you can drop him an email at abhisekatour@gmail.com.

He brought me over to this famous place (which I will not disclose here) for lunch and I died a little bit inside. If you don't already know, I am one hell of a picky eater, and I detest eating at a warung stall!!! & what makes it more miserable is that there's so many flies around us and I don't understand 90% of the stuff in the menu so I just bought fried rice, which took me an hour to finish. In the end I got it packed so that I can have it for dinner as well :(

The Wayang Homestay was my choice of stay for my two nights in Jogja. As mentioned HERE, I got my accommodation booked via Airbnb. This is definitely my next new favourite website, other than Agoda and all the airlines sites that are already bookmarked on my web browser. ^^

A pretty decent homestay which I would totally recommend to anyone! The house and room is clean and spacious enough for me. Most importantly, there's free wi-fi! It is minutes away from the famous street of Malioboro and you can use their bicycles if you want - free of charge! Plus, the two hosts, Jack and Julia, are really nice people who gave me a really warm welcome. They took time to patiently go through the map of Jogja with me and patiently answered my queries. I bagi this place lima bintang! ^^

Roamed around Malioboro Street, which honestly, is pretty boring for me. Totally nothing to shout about. I was expecting to do a little bit of shopping but came back empty handed instead. Stumbled across a shopping mall and sat at Jco's Donuts for their yogurt cos ocd-me was too paranoid to eat anything else lol

Later that night, I got to know the ang moh who stayed in the next room and we had a nice dinner together, talking about where we're from, places we have been to and planning to go to. It's funny how a total stranger can have so many common interests as me, like favourite books, bands and so on. Also a plus point that he thought I was seventeen heheheheh I suka! I played some of our favorite songs from Youtube and next thing we know we were both singing to them. Such a perfect stranger, a prefect moment.

The next day, I woke up really early to bid farewell to to him who left for Surabaya boohoo.

While waiting for my breakfast, first let me take a selfie~

My driver for the day, Pak Man, who has been waiting for me outside my bedroom since six damn a.m! Anyhoots, here's us on our way to our first destination, the famous Borubudur Temple. The journey took almost two hours and I was already planning to sleep all the way cos not only did I sleep late, I had to wake up at five freaking a.m just to get ready.

However I'm SO thankful I didn't do so. Why?

Cos if I had slept all the way I would have missed THIS HEAVENLY VIEW!

Mana nak dapat in Sg you tell me...

I doubt I've ever witnessed so much greenery in my entire life! I was going "WAHHH" and "AWWWW" most of the time and Pak Man on the other hand was laughing at my antics, calling me an anak bandar -_-

Love this pic so much! Sooooo lawa I kennot!!!!

Thanks to Pak Man who patiently waited for me in the car for thirty minutes while I took 289472346 videos and pictures of myself with this breathtaking background hehehe you da best lah Pak!

Hello Borubudur! Entrance fee costs RP 220,000 / $24.

I was so lost for a moment there but thank God a man appeared out of nowhere & asked me if I want to get my pictures taken and printed by him for only $3 a piece. My immediate answer was YES PLEASE! of cos.

At first I thought, hey maybe just buy a piece or two will do but in the end guess how many I bought? Twenty LOL. Twenty a4 sized pictures of me I'm still wondering what I should do with them all.

Kepo uncle photobombed this picture. If not it'd be perfect!

I love how it seems like the place isn't crowded. So nice hor!!

The view from the top of Borubudur.

I told the photographer that I want to take a jump shot and he said, "Betul? Neng ngak malu?"

To which I replied...

"Sumpah tak!" LOL
