Bali Trip ^_^

It’s been some time I didn’t update my blog.. went to Bali since 17th April 05 and came back on the 20th April 05. Thank god 21st April 05 is a holiday =) Mh.. that’s a great trip, not an adventurous one but it’s somehow relaxing. Well, let me try to recall the whole trip ^_^

The people :
Yunn Yi – a friend of mine since primary school, cheerful, pretty and nice. ^_^
Ying Ying – Yunn Yi’s coursemate, never saw her before, she’s from Sarawak, a cheerful, cute and nice person ^_^
Tuck Meng – another friend of mine since primary school.. very talkative -_-“ humourous, erm.. a bit childish la =p
Myself – what else can I say.. I seldom talk much and I’m just a good listener ^_^

The place :
Bali – Legian/Kuta
Claim to be the most beautiful island in the world. Surfer paradise.. 3 hours flight from KLIA Malaysia.

Day 1 – 17/04/05 (Sunday)
I woke up at 1pm =) Start packing up and make sure I didn’t left out anything… took a short bath and taxi came. So I rushed myself.. and just when I want to get in to the taxi I realised that I forgot to bring my passport -_-“ luckily I realised it earlier… otherwise I’ll be staying at home all the week. Reach KLIA at around 2pm and then stop by at KFC with Tuck Meng for lunch while waiting for the Yunn Yi and Ying Ying. They came just after we got our meals. We then proceed to chk in after lunch and here comes the first highlight of the trip -_-“ Just when we want to enter the departure hall, we were required to put our passport for verification ^_^ Being new to the airport devices.. I put my passport into the machine and then the screen prompt me for finger print =p Hehe.. since the screen displayed a big square box.. I assumed it was a touch screen.. and put my finger on it a few times -_-“ hehe..I was puzzled why it took such a long time until Yunn Yi pointed me a small scanner below the screen =p How embarassing.. and needless to say the all laughed at me =(
It took around 3 hours to reached Denpasar airport . Slept during the flight and were disturbed by the voice of Meng every now and then teasing the girls -_-“ Instead I found Meng and Yi are quite compatible as they teased each other most of the time during the trip..haha.. ^_^ Just joking ya.. Yunn Yi.. if you are reading this =p Don’t put into heart o… We then proceed to our 2 stars Hotel, Saphir Mabisa Inn by taxi and the driver named ‘Gede’ offered us tour guide services for Rp350,000 and just when we reached the hotel, the receptionist offered us the tour guide for only Rp300,000. We then proceed to cancel the service offered by Gede and took the one recommended by the receptionist. Um.. the hotel are not really nice but it’s acceptable, cant ask for more for this kind of price ^_^
Our first meal there, hardly recall the name of the dishes but it’s kinda nice. Too bad I still havent receive the photos, otherwise can post it up on the blog. Nvm.. I’ll edit it later. There isn’t much things to do for the first day as it’s already late at night by the time we reached there. So we just manage to walk around the street nearby the hotel and the proceed back to hotel, watching tv, playing cards and then went to bed as we have to wake up earlier the next day.

First dinner at Bali ^_^

Day 2 -18/04/05 (Monday)
Woke up around 7.15am and then take a hot bath ^_^ how nice if my house have a water heater. Went to eat breakfast which were provided by the hotel.. buffet style breakfast.. but not much choice.. -_-“ anyway..it’s fine with me =) as I don’t eat much for breakfast. We then proceed to lobby and wait for our tour guide, it’s a sunny morning.. sun light was strong as if it was noon where it was only 8am. 8.30am, our tour guide came.. the name is ‘Wayan Yudana’ driving a jeep called ‘Kijang’ ^_^ Communication is a small problem.. as their BM are different from ours.
Well..well..well our first destination. “Barong Dance” Thinking of this made me smile.. it’s just disappointing paying Rp50,000 each for this boring show. In other words.. the show sucks ^_^ Erm.. although it sucks.. I might have to elaborate a bit =p erm.. at first a lion-dance like creature came out from the stage and did its slow motion cat walk.. and took it around 5-10min to move one step forward. Frankly speaking.. I’ve yawned a few times by then. -_-“ Every once in a while, it will move its jaws.. making the ‘kak kak’ sound.. and then transform itself by moving its face up and down -_- I’m not sure if it’s name is Barong or wat… instead.. I cant even make sure which one is Barong…^_^ Kinda blur.. to keep this short.. then came another monkey like creature.. moving around dono what its doing.. and went back into the back yard.. I’ve yawned another few times by then.. and saw quite a number of puzzled faces around -_-“ then came out two women.. er..should I said old ladies doing their traditional dance.. omg.. even ladies dancing cant catch my attention.. -_-“ you know how suck it is already la.. after that.. few men and few creatures take turn to come out and shout like mad whereas I don’t think any people knew what they are doing.. well.. at least I don’t ^_^ There are parts where they take bunch of vegetables to do the fights -_-“ I wonder if vegetables can kill.. Anyway.. I think most of us humiliate them by giving a few applause after the show end.. and yet..i still don’t know what they are doing.. I better chk the internet for the story later.

The so called - "Barong" i think -_-"

Then the guide took us to the so called.. silver and gold shop -_-“ more like a black shop for me.. the only thing that catch my attention is the monkey inside the cage.. erm..can feel that the four of us start to lose faith -_-“ and next we proceed to another shop selling pictures/painting.. another disappointing one. The next destination took us about 2 hours to reach there.. at last a place worth visiting, stop at a restaurant for lunch with a nice view of a volcano. The wind there was strong and cool ^_^ and we then take turn to take photos there. After that just when we went out of the restaurant, a bunch of kids rush to us.. “Ten thousand, ten thousand…” is all I can hear ^_^ They sure look pity.. at last Yunn Yi, Ying Ying & Tuck Meng bought something from them haha.. my friends are just nice ^_^ made myself feel like I’m very cruel for not buying.

Meng and Yunn Yi ^_^

Yunn Yi and Ying Ying ^_^

Yunn Yi and Myself ^_^
Our next place to visit is a temple. Where we need to wear ‘Sarung’ to go in. Ying Ying was lucky as she bought herself one. The rest of us will have to wear the one provided by the temple which is orange in colour ^_^ Nothing much to do also.. it’s just taking photos and more photos only, but we did made wish and threw coins into the wishing pond where there’s a big circle in the centre where ppl use to make wish and throw coins into it. The circle is big enough to fill thousands and millions of coins…but this friend of mine Yunn Yi -_-“ she missed =p hahaha… perhaps she’s too tired.

We then proceed back to hotel and went for our spa session. ^_^ I found it was the best part of the trip haha.. very relaxing.. a bit cold though.. we went out for shopping and dinner after that.. and bargain all the way.. feeling tired I slept around 11pm..Zzzz


Day 3 – 19/04/05 (Tuesday)
Had a sound sleep..and as usual we go for breakfast then proceed back to our room and get change and go to the beach. ^_^ Mh.. It’s a nice beach there.. waves are kinda huge.. you can hear them roaring before reaching the beach -_-“ Definitely not for swimming.. I did hesistate whether to get wet or not.. but since we’re there..it would be a waste if not to get into the sea. Meng and myself get a board and start heading toward those huge waves.. mh..at first I thought it would be quite dangerous..but once I’m out there.. it’s kinda fun ^_^

Photo taken at the beach nearby ^_^ with tatoo
Once we had enough and went back to shore.. the girls already had a tatoo -_-“ Since all of them get one.. then I also follow lor… after that we went for foot reflexiology =D Pain~ but relaxing ^_^ Later during evening, Wayan came to fetch us to Tanah Lot.. A place with a temple on the sea.. a place with very nice sunset view..

i went to the temple behind by myself ^_^

Nice View taken by me ^_^

that night we had our dinner at a seaside restaurant.. very nice and romantic surrounding.. kinda perfect place for couples.. we ordered prawn, cuttlefish, vege, fish and ‘lala’ ..mh.. the food is just nice ^_^ but the place is better

At night.. Meng and I went swimming at the pool..ordered a bottle of beer there =) So enjoy.. first time.. drinking beer while swimming =D the gals then came and had a long chat ^_^ and as usual.. I preferred to be a listener .. at the same time admiring the night view.. and listening to them =) That was the last night at bali which worth recalling ^_^


Day 4 – 20/04/05 (Wednesday)
Our last day at Bali… we set off to Bedugul in the morning. And reach there around 10am+ , another nice place worth visiting..It’s hard to find a lake in a highland.. and that’s what make this place special.. cool air.. beautiful scenery.. just nice.. we took a lot of photo there.and few of them taken together with a big python ^_^

Few photos taken at Bedugul

Again.. the guy bring us to eat buffet again -_-“ then we insist to look for something else..at last we stop by a small booth selling suckling pig ^_^ Had our lunch there.. cheapest throughout the trip =) After that the driver just drop us somewhere around legian/kuta and do some shopping there… I’ve bought myself a kite.. a singlet.. and few key chain.. -_-“ kinda envy the gals for having so much to buy ^_^ Another thing worth mentioning is that ..during the shopping time.. Yunn Yi called “Tee Ying Ying” to have a look at something.. and these two Indonesian keep on calling her name and laugh like mad ^_^ what’s worse is that whenever someone pass by ..they call them ‘Tee Ying Ying” -_-“ I guess sooner or later.. the word Ying Ying will be used frequently in Bali especially calling for customer. ^_^ Finally we proceed to airport and ready to go back.. had our dinner there and then walk around the air port waiting for departure..
The flight started at 8pm and reached KLIA around 11pm. We waited until 12am for the taxi and then send Yunn Yi home, followed by Ying Ying , Tuck Meng and Myself =)

After all.. Bali is a nice place to visit ^_^ Hope that I’ll have the chance to go there again la Zzzzz…
