Jakarta for the weekend.

It was a super long planned-ahead weekend vacation. Simply because of that Air Asia Promo..RM 25 for a round trip to Jakarta! Yes..its RM25!! Initially it was only us 3- me, farid and aisyah on the trip but as expected, mom and dad booked theirs as well.

Arrived Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on Friday morning. Since dad decided to just hit-and-crash the hotel booth at the arrival hall, no reservation was done before hand. Was hoping to get one unit in the Ascott, turned out to be there was no room available!Apparently there was a 'pameran' in town hence the fully booked. Ascott N/A, Nikko Hotel N/A, Le Meridien N/A. Finally we settled for Aston Rasuna Serviced Apartment.

My personal review for this place:

• Service: slow!
• Cleanliness: lousy to satisfactory
• Breakfast: good
• Location: 10-15 minutes from town if no 'macet' ( bad traffic)
• Room: 3 star.

So if you're planning to stay in Aston Rasuna,i suggest you to book their online rate. Way cheaper than walk in rate and it is meant for their 3 star condition. Anyhow it was just a short stay, so i wouldn't want to complain much ( mom went koo-koo with this place!haha).

Basically, it was just a short shopping trip! Thanks so much Ratih and k.Tasha for the travel guides! We went to Mayestik for great kebaya materials ( need them for Raya and my graduation) and i love them to bits! If only we have enough time, i would've made my way to Ratih's family tailor, Tante Nana. But then again, i managed to get a wonderful indonesian kebaya sketch from one of their designer in Mayestic itself. Now what i need is a tailor in KL that can made my kebaya with the bustier together. Do share with me if you guys know any!:)

Will continue my 'coretan' for this weekend breakaway soon. the internet is being a pest now!

till then:)
