Bali...... Bali..... Bali.....
Just got home last night but didn't have the time to update. Didn't hit the watersport, didn't wan to stay in the sun for too long especially just recovered from illness. Probably next time, if i go there again........ Photos will be up shortly.....
27 May :
Reached airport @ 7am, didn't really enjoyed the whole day as the body was still recovering from the fever and was having abit of running nose. The flight there was pretty alright, took about 2hours before reaching the hotel about 12.30pm. Stayed for a while for the briefing then we went for lunch at the hotel,.... man.... the food were awful!!....
Went off to Kuta Beach; the area where the Bali bombing occurred. We didn't found the place where the bomb went off but the area was crowded with tourists... no wonder they targetted the area. Went to the beach, it was crowded, shopped around and found a go-kart circuit, sped in the circuit for 10mins. The circuit was small, but it was really fun. Had a good time there before heading back to the hotel. Didn't bought much things, just some souvenirs for some of my friends.
Joined my colleagues for dinner at [The Living Room], recommended by my dept head, it is a restaurant with a very nice ambience, i think it would be a lovely place for dinner with someone special. After dinner, we went for a drink. Our MD and some others staffs joined us, wasn't the best pubs, but the drinks were just too much. (Maybe much worse as compared to our clubbing nights).
28 May :
Went on a sightseeing trip with another group of colleagues, the first hour was bad. Trying to get sober, cos of the previous night alcohol was still in the body. After getting past that, it was much better. Started off at some Monkey Forest, then off to some old Bali palace, then stop over the terrace padi fields, then we were off to some place to view the volcano and at the same time stopover for lunch.
At this point of time, my camera batteries was going flat, so i went to a nearby shop to buy, the price they quoted was RIDICULOUS!!!.... they wanted 280,000 RP for 4 batteries. (1 SGD = 5,000Rp), Ridiculous rite??? Jeez.... anyway managed to bought some at the price of 20,000Rp at another location, some holy place. At this holy place, they are damn smart, force us to exit the place thru the market place, where every shop sells the same things, they say the same things, and it is so damn noisy!!...(I seriously think i'm allergic to sharp pitches.....) worse... they pulled you into their shop to make u see their stuffs.
The time was about 4plus after visiting all these places, had to rush back to the hotel for some dinner that was a MUST for all to attend. Went back to hotel to shower and went headed for the dinner. Didnt taste very nice too..... (i seriously think the hotel food suckz big time!!) anyway it was free, so bear with it. After dinner, it was more alcohol..... 2 straight nights with alcohol..... they went out for more, but I decide to do some catching up with my colleague at the lounge before ending the night. (Going to stay away from alcohol for some time)
29May :
4.45am, woke up to watch the sun rise. The wind was freezing cold, just with my t-shirt and short, went to the beach, fed the mosquitos for an hour before catching some glimpse of the sun rays however the sun was blocked by the clouds. Kinda disappointed but nothing much i can do, so we went for breakfast and chatted there for about an hour before i head back to my room to sleep. :P
Woke up around 11am, packed up all my things and prepared for checking out. As we still have some time after we checked out of the hotel, we went off to another beach ; Sanur beach, which was more quiet and looked like it was for the locals to hang out. Nothing to buy again, ended up sitting at some drink store chatting with Pohling, while waiting for the rest.
6pm, I was on my way to the airport, to my horror, i lost my ring.... I told Pohling that i lost my ring, first thing she said.... (good.... always wear on the wrong finger, lost oso good.....) :P by 11pm i was already back in Singapore, bought a bottle of Vodka then headed home.........
