Los Angeles, the city of angels, they said, is yet the closest port that my airlines flying to. It was November, autumn and that was my first west coast trip. I have never been experience the weather of west coast, come on, how much different it would be from the east coast? Damn! A lot!

My Ultracupnoodle!

The first flight after my annual leave was this one, to Haneda. Another port of Japan, nearest airport to Tokyo, and nice hotel to stay. I could swapped it into days off if I wanted to, just to elongated my annual leave, but this Haneda flight is to die for. After a nice 2 weeks leave in Jakarta, packed of house hunting schedule, I thought a relax day in Yokohama would be a nice escape. *oh how was that even possible?*

It was an unintentionally flying buddy. After all the drama I made up to change my roster, I got this flight. A flight to Cairns, Australia. As it’s located near enough to the eastern part of Indonesia, good things, there isn’t winter here. And the greatest thing is that Afree, my flat mate, was lucky enough to swap in to this flight. Double lucky! We worked in different section in the aircraft, but we do have the same itinerary as soon as we arrive, don’t we? 7 hours flight and we arrived. Great Barrier Reef, here we come!

blink on a sunny day

Italy is always a destination that’s gonna pamper our eyes and provide us a picturesque architectural view. Beautiful romantic place that keep our eyes busy. That day, Nadia and I were about to explore and experience the legendary floating city of Venezia. Whether you're a romantic at heart or not, Venice promises to take your breath away. It's a city best experienced with your eyes -- and your senses --wide open.

 This flight is a last minute swap. Due to my friends’ weddings, yap! Two of my friends chose the same day to tie the knot, and this Milan flight was happened to be on the very exact date. I got no choice other than move this flight to another date *coz there was no way I’m gonna abandon this flight* or to report sick. The second option would never happen. So I tried my best to move the date. After all the dramas, *yes, I made up some circumstances*, I finally made it. I got this flight, and to my surprise, I got Nadia with me on the same flight. Last time we flew together, it was Rome. And this time, Milan! My Italian trip partner! And its Milan Fashion Week going on! Lucky!
