3 Things to do in Volendam

When in Amsterdam, my friend in Prague texted me and strongly suggest that i should visit Volendam. Honestly, this cute little town is totally caught my eyes.

For everyone who are interested with this little town. I will share 3 things to do in Volendam for urban people who need getaway! 

1st Taking A LOT of pictures

It's seems so lame, but trust me... for someone who lived in big city. Volendam architecture throw us back to our childhood moments or maybe the houses seems jump off from our bedtime book stories.

Don't forget to try Foto De Boer too. We should pay at least 20 euros to be dress up like Dutch. It's quite pricey but come on... This is rated as the best typical photo in whole Netherlands. Let's try and burn the cash!

2nd Eat LIKE A BOSS!

Another spending cash thing is try and buy various cheese in here. They were the best cheese I ever taste. 

Next, make sure you try the most fresh herring fish in Netherlands. I just can't stop eating it. If you don't like something raw or something like sashimi. You can buy fried seafood in various stands.

3rd Enjoy the Harbor

This harbor town makes me felt like Popeye. I'm ready to sail! I was living in big city and i found peace by looking at the ships. Oh, Volendam... I miss you!

So, are you gonna pack your bags and go to Volendam? Tell me!

Hello Kitty Town Johor Bahru

A month before i resign from my office. I decided to celebrate my birthday in Hello Kitty Town (Johor Bahru). This is the recap of my 3D2N traveling moments!

21st July 2014
I did breakthrough things today:

•  I went alone to Singapore using Air Asia. In the past, i used to fly with Garuda Indonesia. I try to be humble this time :p
• Took MRT for very first time. I already went to this city since i was 5 years old but i always got picked up by my friends or using taxi
• Eating Swedish food in Bugis. I love it!
• Sleeping in BnB (Bed and Breakfast). One room for 8 persons and bathroom is outside. I never had such experience. I did it but i'm barely sleeping that night

22nd July 2014

After lunch, I'm leaving Singapore and heading to Johor Bahru. I got a companion from Jakarta. First day in JB, I spent all day in Mall and buy some stuffs. 

That night, i slept in hotel because I've enough with BnB.

23rd July 2014

Officially 24 years old. In 08.30am, me and my friend already dress up to get Hello Kitty Town. Super excited. In the morning, my friend gave me surprise. Alhamdulillah, cute mini cupcakes!

12 cupcakes for my 24th birthday

Make a wish

We used Red cab to get there. We paid 75 RM to enter Hello Kitty Town. Quite affordable!
In the entrance, we saw Red Bow Cafe. I bought nothing from here because i'm running out my RM.

The happiest birthday girl

Adventure begins in Hello Kitty House,

We started from Hello Kitty terrace. Cute!

Then, we entered the house:

After went to living room. Next corridor was Hello Kitty kitchen!

Cute refrigerator

The Bathroom:

Moved to Mimmy's room. Full of gold! I love it!

The phone that i hang to is worked. This phone played conversation between Hello Kitty and her tailor and florist. Funny!

There was walk in closet that seperated Mimmy and Kitty rooms,

At last but not least, Hello Kitty room!

We just finished Hello Kitty's house tour.

And move to another room. We decorated cookies, create pin and put jewelries.

The last destination is Hello Kitty Black Wonder Adventure! Super cute! I barely took pictures because i just way too excited to break the code and finish the game.
So, we finished Hello Kitty Town Journey in 2 hours. It was small place. I didn't take some spot like Cinnamonroll Cafe, Hello Kitty Tea Cup Ride, Puurfect Stage and Friendship Land (Playground for kids).

Here's my opinion about Hello Kitty Town (Johor Bahru):

(+) If you are Hello Kitty fan (like me), you MUST visit it. Very cute and full of Kitty!

(+) The first Sanrio attraction outside Japan. 

(-) Build for young children

(-) Anyone who don't interested with cute things / hello kitty will find it as boring place

(-) Some blogger says the price didn't match with the place. Too expensive for small place.

(-) Hard to access by bus. We need extra money for cab.

What do you think?
See you soon in Hello Kitty Town!

Outfit Ideas - Eyecatching Summer Style

I'm not a beach babe but Ricky's photos inspire me to create eyecatching summer style!

Well, i just get too excited with Summer. 
Taa-daa...

Summer Looks

Prepare yourself with these mandatory stuffs:

1. Headbands
Pink ribbon with polkadots - voila, you will never go out of style. Rem' using hat in beach is kinda mainstream lately (at least for me)

2. Sunglasses
Try to buy some everlasting brand like Ray Ban

3. Towels
The point is pick the right color. You got it rite?

4. Bikini
Pick 1 size smaller than your daily size. Yup, it's for boost up your butts and racks!

5. Accessories
Find the most "beach" mood 

6. Tote Bag
I pick a transparent shocking pink from Harpers and Smith, you will instantly stunning in the middle of beach

7. Toiletries
Don't try to copy our granny who desperately love to bring normal size toiletries. You can buy travel bottles kit in Mark and Spencer then redeploy your daily products. But, if you are lazy, you can move your ass to The Body Shop or L'Occitane en Provence counter nearby and buy their travel size products.

8. Flip-flops
Havaianas is always a good idea. Finger crossed. 

So, are you ready to be the most eye-catching girl in the beach?
I bet you will.

Zalora Indonesia

Gue punya hobi baru nih: belanja online! 

Salah satu online shop favorit gue itu Zalora Indonesia 

brand favorit di Zalora

Selain merek fashion lokal ternama kayak xsml dan Loushkii. Gue juga suka belanja beauty and grooming: VOV, TONYMOLY, dan Gwendolyn. Nah, gue mau ngasi contoh packaging produk Zalora:

Packaging Zalora

1 eyeliner aja bungkusnya double. Pake plastik plus bubble wrap jadinya make-up yang ringkih kayak lipstik dan eyeliner ngga rusak selama proses pengiriman. Berhubung gue lumayan sering belanja di sana, gue bakal share tentang keuntungan dan kerugian belanja di Zalora Indonesia:

(+) FREE ONGKIR seluruh Indonesia. Buat gue yang tinggal di Jakarta mungkin ngga terlalu wow tapi buat kakak gue yang di Pontianak bakal nguntungin banget!

(+) Zalora beneran online shop yang terpercaya. Buktinya udah ada di 8 negara: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Filipina, Vietnam, Taiwan, dan Hong Kong
(+) Brandnya asli bukan abal-abal. Selain itu beberapa brand kayak TONYMOLY bisa tinggal diorder, kalo beberapa online shop impor kan mesti ngikut jadwal PO (Pre-Order)

(+) Ada fasilitas COD (Cash on Delivery). Selain itu bisa juga sistem transfer dengan pilihan bank yang lengkap jadi ngga usah rusuh minjem-minjem ATM orang 
(+) Garansi produk 7 hari dan kalo ternyata cacat bisa dikembaliin gratis! Bahkan kalo kita ngga jadi beli paling lama 5 hari kemudian uang kita dibalikin 
(+) Website Zalora rapi, minimalis, dan jelas kategorinya

(+) Kalo langganan newsletter bakal dapet voucher belanja. Ngga rugi juga kalo follow twitter atau nge-like Zalora Indonesia karena banyak banget free giveaway
(+) Customer servicenya baik banget, dia rela nelponin berkali-kali, nge-email, dan lapang dada kalo gue ngomel-ngomel 


(-) Barang nyampenya gak bisa diprediksi. Kadang cuman sehari udah nyampe, kadang tiga hari. Agak bingungin buat yang COD, berarti mesti standby di rumah dong
(-) Modelnya bule. Agak miris mesti komparatif badan bule sama gue, kalo si bule keliatan make mini dress berarti bakal jadi dress di gue. Harus lebih jeli, perhatikan rincian produk dengan seksama. Plus, kulitnya bule kan 'gimana gitu' pantes di dia belum tentu pantas di orang awam kayak gue #okesip
(-) Beda laptop, beda warna. Yang belanja pake iMac pasti galau kalo mesan pake Lenovo or else
(-) Harganya lumayan dibandingin online shop lainnya. Solusinya, klik: SALE di website-nya
(-) Stock bisa habis. Siapin mental kalo dikabarin customer service mendadak karena barang out of stock 
(-) Website Zalora ngga bakal sehati sama pengguna modem yang lemot dan atau yang kuotanya mau abis. Pada titik ini, kesabaran lo akan diuji 

Gimana dengan kalian? Yuk, cobain belanja di Zalora Indonesia. Cara belanjanya bisa liat disini. Tell me your opinion soon!
