Bali Moments- The Untold Story

Taking a break frm job hunting, let me talk about Bali after getting pics frm Fion. Tq so much
This post has been due for quite some time, but i hope to blog it out
So that if one day, if i forget, i can still read back, and rmb how much you guys meant to me
___________________________________________________________________
The booking of air tickets had been very random.
When it was booked, we were only told that, air tickets had been booked but there was no venue and no dates
We only knew it was to Bali when Ivan posted the air tickets in fb
Yuwen was very very very excited.
She packed weeks before the day. Even though we were busy about thesis, lab work, exams etc etc
Almost everyone was planning to finish thesis during the semester break.
But we went for a holiday. Haha. Final year, final sem break :)
We kept our holiday plans a secret. They were surprised.

On the 7th of April 2012, Xinyee fetched me to her house and all of us departed from UPM
Thankss xinyee :) First time taking KLIA Express
There for early dinner at LCCT .. Marrybrown


While passing the Imigration.. 
Pity some of Yuwen's liquid products were disposed cz they exceeded the 100ml allowable for hand luggage o.O Nvm can buy new ones :) 
Pic while waiting for boarding :) 


Reached there at night after an approximate 3 hours flight
The first grp picture after getting off the plane in the airport. 
These arches are a familiar sight. Unique :) 


First night in Bali. Hey Bali :) 
Thanks Ivan for arranging the accomodation :) 
We stayed at Dana Guest House and it was like a homestay experience
Two/three of us in one small cottage in which each small cottage, there's a bed, a tv, and its own toilet
But there's only cold water in the toilet.. so everyone's fighting for hot water in the public toilet outside
But 1st night i could barely sleep..
Because while i was about to sleep, the rooster started to give good morning calls =.=

Good morning 1st Day at Bali :) 


Breakfast XD We had this for 3 consecutive mornings. Haha.
Start to feel hungry now hmmmph.. 

Departure XD 
Our motorcycle gang. Yupp. We travelled across Bali on motorcycles for 2 and half days
Never sat motorcycle for so many consecutive hours.. thanks dailou for fetching me :) 
Luckily it didnt rain but we were sunburnt


Fuel for the bikes by the roadside XD 


First stop: To a famous statue by the roadside.
 Actually we passed this last night on the way back to the guesthouse from the airport but didnt stop by
Parked our bikes by the roadside and crossed the road for pictures
However it was hot hot hot and we only managed a few, and this was one of them.


Next, to Blue Point.
Beautiful place for surfing. I wana learn surfing! 
However, first, i need to learn how to swim properly. Haha. Why i stil cant swim til now. ZzZ 
Chasing the waves, in my to do list.. :) 


Group picture :) 
There, we too got ourselves some souvenirs- sunglasses and slippers. Haha
Sunglasses needed due to the sandy roads .. lotsa sand flew into my eyes T-T 


After biking for so long, time for lunch and some drinks XD 


Then, we went to Uluwatu, if not mistaken. lol. 
We were each given a cloth for respect..
Purple for females..

And blue for males..
Walau.. they were more hiao than us. Haha


Group picture before entrance :) 
Selang-seli purple and blue XD


The movie is really a success.
Cz no matter where we went, there would be a take like this :P
Take 1.. random look 

Take 2.. look left.. 

Take 3.. point at you XD 

The view from the top.. =) 


Group picture again :) 


Another group picture :) 

Had some coconut before we were off to another destination XD 
Rm5 per coconut.. so expensive.. but its a tourist destination.. so kayy


SS Picture XD Got Malaysian feel~


Somewhere on the way back, we saw this place and decided to take pics
One thing being on bikes was that we could stop whenever we wanted:) 


:)

Lol. See flat ground. Jump shots.


Looked like graduation hats? :) 


Next, we stopped at a beach. This picture was so nice.
But Shin, Yuwen and I were missing cz we decided to go food hunting 
Got some nice local food but missed out on shots.. haha. 
Hmm. Worth it cz we were hungry that time.. travelling burnt lotsa energy


Sunset. Indescribable by words. 

Ended the day with dinner nearby our guest house.
 We saw Starbucks, and lots of big food chain outlets at the supermarkets. 
We got lost on our way back T_T and spent lots of time around the area but couldnt find our house
So when we reached, we were super tired and they were waiting for turns for hot water bath
All of a sudden, there was no electricity and the whole guest house was pitch black
And Shin was bathing.. haha. he was the last one
Due to it being dark, we couldnt see a thing and decided to wait
He thought we purposely off his lights and was calling for us not to fool him
He called and hello-ed but no one answered his pleas. 
Pity him but we couldnt stop laughing... haha 

2nd morning in Bali.. =)
We woke up super early to see the beach before breakfast


They said its just like a poster. Did you agree? :) 


They took many shots of kungfu fighting in the air. They were geng. Haha. 
Anyway
Group photo :) 


Back for breakfast and departure :) 
Group picture again before departure 
This time, we observed the surroundings carefully so that we wouldnt get lost again that night


Off for shopping for souvenirs in Sukawati in which we got Bali tshirts for everyone :) 
However, the journey there on bike took a long time.. 
They were great at bargaining lol couldnt help but feel sorry though
Cz actually what they sold was ad cheaper than what we could find in Malaysia
But we kept bargaining and they had no choices but to accept our negotiations
Their profit margins were sure to decrease. Sorry, but we were students on a budget trip
Hopefully by buying in bulk, you guys would feel better :) 

Some local delicacies for lunch :) 
Actually there was a bakso picture too but i wonder where it went =.=




Next destination, to Tanah Lot to watch sunset
Full of tourists..
And of cz, the sunset was breathtaking.
Group picture of our tattoo ! XD


In Tanah Lot on the way up :) 


Yay dinner time.. 
Local cuisines :) 
Omelette-- called something else but couldnt recall


Fish XD

Vegetable XD


Fish XD 


Chicken, if not mistaken


Fish XD

Back at the guesthouse earlier than ystdy and guess what?
Once again, there's a blackout
And it happened while Shin was bathing again~ hahaha
But this time, he didnt dare to call us
But anyway, we were laughing 
And for the consecutive nights, we didnt dare to bathe while he was in the bathroom lol

Good morning Bali day 3 xD 
They went to the local market early and bought us some local breakfast XD


And we were writing postcards to one another
They wanted to post them on the way to Ubud

Later in the morning, we surrendered our bikes and turned to cars yay
And we left for another town for another 3 days and 2 more nights
To be continued =)
