Love Garage Jakarta

In January i went to what so called Love Garage in Jakarta, im not sure what are the promoter thinking to be exact. If it is supposed to be a music festival or just concert with several acts.

The line up was great from amazing local bands to international act like Ryksopp and Alex Metric, however the crowds are just dissapointing, they are waaaay to conservative and not in the party mood. I met up with few Aussies and ended up joining their party crowd, the locals was basically staring at us as we go bit banana but hey thats how you supposed to party in a music festivals.  It was sad that the DJ have to get the crowd dancing and no one even dance to it veryyyyyy saddddd.....

I have been to several music festival in Australia and Europe and i think Jakarta got the market and the idea for it just need to pass on the ideas to the attendees.

Waterproof duffle

Mountain Designs got this waterproof duffle on sale today from $100 to $50 and I just can't help myself to purchase it!!

It's really good if you will travel to the snow or even to the rainy places like Götheborg in Sweden (my face place) it'll keep all your stuff including electronic dry :)

So now I have a new travelling companion yay

Le Meridien Jakarta Indonesia

Jakarta is a very busy city, extremely overcrowded and not the cleanest place you could visit. However if you are a shopaholic and foodie you might like Jakarta as the city have numerous amount of shopping centres, loads of shops and restaurants. I have to admit that the new shopping mall is very impressive in terms of the shops qualities and designs. 

To escape the buzz i've decided to stay at Le Meridien in the Jalan Jendral Sudirman, a five star hotel with amazing pool and service. 

The pool is amazing with traditional javanese feel and its not crowded at all so it feels like your own private swimming pool.

I then got upgraded to Starwood Preferred Guest floor with an amazing view of the city. The building right across me happened to have a light show at 7pm

Every Girl love to being pampered so i've decided to pamper myself to a nice Jacuzzi and 55 minutes traditional massage (urut)

To end my stay a nice bottle of Veuve Cliquot on the pool side is just a bliss....

To go or not to go?

The world is soooooo big  and there are just way too many things i want to see and do, currently i am having a big dilemma for this year travel plan.

My original plan for holiday this year:

April 

the old country - Snow in Europe

September 

the big old uncle sam country - USA

However my friends are going to Portugal and Spain for summer holiday in June. 

My pet travel bug whispers ...."Just go you are only young once and deserve to have some fun!"

However my logic keep on telling me "Think of the cost and how about your friends in the USA"

Ok plain crazy...i know, but the big question is "WHAT SHOULD I DO?"

Big storm in Sydney to marked the beginning of a working week. I decided to make use of the Christmas present that I bought for myself a cufflinks from Peter Alexander.

Loving my skin

I recently been using Bioderma Sebium range that i purchase from Avignon - France on my last trip, they are amazingly super effective after just two weeks my pore is no longer visible and less imperfection. I didn't use the full range as my Garnier Gel Pure active is still my favorite face wash for daily use and twice a week Bioderma Scrub and sebum reducing leave in gel. Great result now i know what im going to purchase and stock up in April :)

Last Day at Sunny Coast

Last day of my holiday and i  caught this really awful cold!! Its just plain nasty!! im soooo over it its just ruined the whole thing ....not exaggerating but Queensland heat + Flu is not the best combination.

Anyway i still try to enjoy the last night...a few friends went for dinner at Harvest at Coolum beach. Food was fabulous, had chrispy scallops, pork belly, scallop and pancetta pasta for main and as a treat heavenly pistachio souffle with vanilla ice cream...yummmm...

au revoir sunny coast and time to go back home...
