"As the ocean is never full of water, so is the heart never full of love." #projectMaldives (Part 3)

Enjoy the visuals ladies, and gentlemen...

 

Captured by one of the dive master from another group.

 

One of those days where we decide to explore the island, Maafushi, by foot and was done in less than 45mins? They had these kinda seats EVERYWHERE so i just HAD to. HAHA.

 

When Atiqah decides to "abandon" me and go over to the other side of the Island. Therefore it's me-time at one of the most lavish villa aka Adaaran Prestige Vadoo Maldives, looking at my sayang's videos and our photos on repeat while I get myself a lovely tan. Psstt meet my only companion for that 3-4 hours of soaking in Vitamin D.

Like I've mentioned before, I never thought I would visit Maldives before I tie the knot but I guess everything happens for a reason and that god probably have a better place in mind for my honeymoon. Hahaha but rest assured I will visit this romantic place with my sayang for one of our vacations. In sha allah la hor. :)

Such a simple dessert you would say but we had this every single night at Crystal Sands. It's like a routine. Banana fritters with vanilla ice cream drizzled with sweet fresh honey. Total omggg so nice it makes my mouth water right about now!!

Our last breakfast at Sun Tan Beach Hotel and finally something Maldivian that I could get.

A slight twist to the chapatti. Here in Maafushi, you eat it with tuna flakes, coconut and idk what greens all combined together. Not too bad as finally there was some spices used!

You would have guessed that I've ran out of words to describe the last leg of my journey in Maldives but hey, to come this far (blogging) and to spend less than $1400 ($1200 if I didn't buy my Chanel Chance Hairspray and nonsense at the airport when we were on the back! Hahaha) for this whole 6 days trip to such alluring islands and gorgeous views at every angle, it's like an #achievementunlocked. Now I totally understand when one describe how it feels like to travel because when you have a "tight" budget to work with. A reasonable one that is, followed by lots of luck I must add. Hehhehe.

To be uploaded are:

• Stand up paddling at such a good price on our first try. 
• My first time on a jet ski and giving it a go aka went crazy with the speed for no charge.
• Dophins dolphins dolphinsss!!!

Of course the day where I got to see purple-pink fishes like those in Sea Aquarium, a few sea cucumber, plenty baby sharks (1 came extremely near and I freaked out x100 + almost fall off my paddle board!), beautiful doubleeee rainbow, perfect sunset when one of the instructors was busy paddling and catching waves for me hahaha, I didn't have my gopro strapped. Yupp perhaps it just wasn't meant to be.

 Till then, #projectM.

Bandung Visuals Day 3.

Official last day in Bandung. 

The trip felt extra short for me and that true enough, 3 days was not sufficient. 4-5days would prolly be just right.

 

Ours vs Parents.

 There is this verandah thingy that over looks the greenery and we decided to cam-whore a bit before our transport arrives.

Yupp we shared the villa with my uncle!  

Okay let's just say that miscommunication did happened and we're just lucky that Pak Dewa was there to save our day. Or else, all 6 if us will miss our flight back home! Thank god none of that occur and many thanks again to Buk Susanti for all the help that she had rendered not only to us but all 4 family. Ps; Another 2 family stayed in a different villa, though owned by the same person (Buk Susanti) extended their stay for another 3 more nights but over at Hilton's.

Pak Dewa practically raced through the busy road of Bandung and we managed to arrive safely at the airport! (Y)

 We even had a quick filling-up-of-tummy! Their Mee Goreng was damn sedap pleaseeeee! Idk how they fried it till it was that flavorful and their noodle size was a lil different too! Could have been better if there were more meat and a few cili padi. :P

I posted both photos so you guys can see how I smile with and without teeth! HAHA. -_-

 And that, was my birthday dinner with the family! We were too damn hungry after our flight and I chose whatever was nearest. Indeed a simple-fast game birthday dinner for ze 22nd. Hahaha.

Bandung Visuals Day 2 Part 2.

Just imagine driving the way up to the famous Tangkuban Perahu and you are welcomed with such gorgeous looking flowers. They are called, Bunga Trumpet if you'd like to know.

We didn't get to stay for long because 1) It was cold. Approx around 15-18 degrees? 2) We all knew it was going to be cold but we totally forgot about bring our hoodies! My sisters and I even went to the extend of purchasing new ones the day before. Hahaha. 3) It started to rain half hour after we've reached. :(

One thing to note, I hope whoever's going there.. Do the trekking down hill. To go nearer the crater and whatnots. I'm sure it'll be more fun and you get to see more things. You may wanna read here for more info! :)

   

Yupp, hot spring! Our first there and I think was okay la not too bad. They have those special ones for whole body but none of us wanted to go through the hassle of changing ++.  I personally think it would be better if it's overlooking the sea or something. Hahaha okay shiqin this is not Japan! :P

 NEXT UP, THIS IS A MUST GO! IN FACT, IT'S #1 ON TRIPADVISOR!

 Best if you made reservation but lucky us, we waited for around 20 mins, which we actually took the time to do our Zohor prayers and to walk around at the gift shop. Your name will called out across the PA system and you'll be directed to your "table". The place is extremely cozy and with the perfect weather, nothing can go wrong, ever.

 I admit whole-heartedly that the photos are badly taken because 1) Really poor lightning. 2) We were famished beyond words! I just any how snap and then everyone took their plate! Those are the food that would make me wanna fly back to Bandung and eat. In fact, I might just next year! The Gurame was fresh, the bebek was cooked really well (hardly any smell), the meal for two, which was one of Sudanese traditional, was ahhh soo niceeee. Haiz I'm missing it already! :(

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WAS, EVERY SINGLE FOOD ORDERED AND CAME WAS SERVED HOT, WAS SPICY AND EXTREMELY DELICIOUS. NO REGRETS, AT ALL.

Happy or rather, happier faces after THE meal! Hehehe. I'll be back with Day 3 tonight or later.. If I've got nothing much at work! Have a good mid-week lovelies! XOXO.
