I saw lotsa incredibly beautiful one sold at Sukawati and Tanah Lot, it’s just really amazing! I can never imagine myself painted it this nice! You know what’s the best thing of it? They always start of the price which we will never agree on buying and we can bargain till like 30-50% discounts! I was just wondering, how does one standout from the rest when all of them are that good and at the same place? Nevermind, as a buyer/tourist, we benefit from it though.

You’ll see lotsa painting of Pura Tanah Lot at Tanah Lot itself.

And other other paintings.

I specifically like these paintings due to the touch and feel of the texture of the paints. But I didn’t buy any of these.

I bought 2 paintings of another place which I’ve forgotten the name at about RM15 only.

Time flies and 3D2N at Bali was over. On the 3rd day morning, we managed to enjoy the wave of sea for a few hours at Kuta beach itself before packing up and Board the plane back to our home country. The few hours at Kuta beach is one of the most fun time in Bali. The waves are really strong that you could fall and roll at the beach. No kidding! I got quite a few blue-blacks from that!

My sandals string snapped when I was the airport, and I was forced to buy a pair of sandals at a very last minute. Thank god I found one which I find it ok looking and at a reasonable price. The price was actually about RM35 but I was out of cash. But believe it or not, I managed to bargain for the sandals for only RM30. Guess what? I’m loving the sandals now! It’s very comfortable.

We were very hungry and took a meal at the airport and almost didn’t manage to board the plane. We thought that the entrance to board our plane was nearby but it was like miles away(okay, I’m totally exaggerating this), we ended up running with our stomache full in the airport itself. It’s kinda funny when thought of it now.

Took a few photos of the cloud. Kinda like it.

This photos looks like it’s end of the world. Like something is happening soon.

This looks like there’s hope.

I was supposed to attend my friends wedding that night and I had to put on my makeup in the flight.

But due to unforeseen circumstances, I only reached home at about 9.20pm. I think the dinner also gonna end soon, so, didn’t attend the dinner in the end after putting on my make-ups. =.=”" So, I ended up cam-whore in my room. ^.^

Wow..you know what? I’ve finally finish with my Bali trip! Should I continue back with my Perth trip?

It’s really funny when I thought about our main reason for going to spa for the first night at Bali. We didn’t make any booking for spa, so it was quite tough to find a place which could accommodate 6 of us at once. So, we ended going to Green Grass Spa at Jalan Legian, Kuta, it’s the same row as the hotel we stayed over while mr. BF went to Spa Bali alone instead.

The first thing and the very much repeated question from us to the receptionist was “Does this package include bath?”, “Which package includes bath?”, “I want the package which have bath.” . You see a common word there, BATH. you know why? Coz we were so reluctant and avoided to bath at our own hotel room!  It was kinda late and we didn’t have enough time for those package which have bath. I think they noticed we were desperate for bath(who wouldn’t notice?) so they offered massage package + free shower. LOL.

Me and carryse were in the same room different massage bed for body massage.

It’s my first time having a body massage. Geez, was kinda shy that have to be topless with someone you know in the room. I wouldn’t have been shy if someone beside me is not someone I know. What about you? would you have felt the same? Thank god the relaxing massage have ease away the awkwardness and we were very much too relaxed and snoozed away.

I told you that it comes with free shower right? Meaning you shower in their bathroom with shampoos, conditioner and body shampoo provided as in you are in a hotel. So, we took turns to shower right after our massage.

The massage only cost us about Rp85,000 (RM33.75) which I think it’s reasonably cheap!

We felt kinda paiseh after that…all were so desperate for bath, as if we have not bath in days, weeks, months, or even years.

On our second night, all of us went to Spa Bali, it’s also located at Jalan Legian, just a few steps away from our hotel.

This time, I took Massage and Body Scrub package instead which is about one hour treatment. This place is quite nice, it’s nicer than the one we went the day before. They also have room for couple where couples can have the spa in the same room.

We waited impatiently and very much excited for them to prepare the stuff and room for us.

This time it’s really awkward. I need to be totally naked except by wearing the given disposable black underwear. But it didn’t feel as bad, you know why? Coz they’ll cover your eyes with a piece of small tower most of the time. So, you don’t see them but they see you. LOL. I tried not to think too much and just enjoy the massage.

This is my view when I lie face down on the massage bed.

Then, they use the coconut scrub to apply all over my body, and yeah, ALL OVER MY BODY and let to dry. After about 10-15 minutes, they’ll start scrubbing the whole body(yeah, including the breasts). THIS IS REALLY AWKWARD having a gal scrubbing all over my body. I felt so lesbo but it’s really normal for them, it’s their routine job anyway. I bet they’ve seen all kinda breast like A, B, C, D, E, F, perhaps G Cup, fair breast, tan breast, sagging breast and not to forget different shapes of nipples too. LOL. Anyway, they’re really professional, they’ll ask if it’s too soft or hard for the massage at different parts of areas.

After the scrub was the best part, Mandi Bunga. Not like those you have bad luck then your mum buy the flowers for prayers and put into bucket for you to bath type. This is really mandi bunga. The bath tub is filled with water and flowers. So beautiful right?

Felt really happy seeing that, so big gal never have such bath before ler. Okay, here’s me enjoying my flowery bath~

*Sorry to disappoint, no naked photos here*

They even give a nice cuppa hot ginger tea for you to enjoy while mandi bunga. DAMN FRAKING NICE la! If I were to go Bali again, I will for sure go for this again.

Drying up after a nice relaxing spa.

 These are other packages available at Spa Bali. I still have Spa Bali’s contact number and details. Leave me a comment and I’ll provide it.

I find their price really cheap! The price was supposed to be Rp340,000 but they were having 50% discount and I ended up paying ONLY Rp120,000(RM47.40). Where can you find such good price and good service with great environment here?! It’s really a good experience.

But one thing, did you notice what was wrong with those massage bed? I’m not referring the hole at the top part, that’s for you to put your head during the massage. Notice there’s no soft part or hole at the upper body area. You know how good it is when someone massage your back, especially when it’s harder? The harder it is, the more impact on your back and body, the harder my breasts gotta press flat against the massage bed. That didn’t felt so good though. But I got used to it after awhile of massage. It’s my first time massage, so a bit 3 8 like kampung gal ok?

On the second day of my Bali trip, we make a stop at the very famous place in Bali called Tanah Lot. It’s famous for a temple which is build on a rock formations off Bali island called Pura Tanah Lot. My suggestion is to go there during the evening to snap some sunset pictures, of coz, when it’s not a cloudy day too. But, luyck wasn’t at my end, it didn’t rain but it was cloudy. I didn’t manage to snap any orange sunset photo of  Pura Tanah Lot.

When drove in to Tanah Lot area, there’s a stop for security check. I wasn’t sure if there have always been security checks or it was only setup after the recent bombing of Ritz Carlton Hotel and JW Marriot Hotel in Bali. The security staff will use a cangkuk like with mirror attach at the bottom to view the bottom of the car.

On the way walking to Pura Tanah Lot, you will see a long stretch of shops.

You’ll see remarkably beautiful paintings, handicraft, souvenirs, fruits, foods and bats. Opps..sorry…the bat is not for sale. It’s for photo taking purpose. I find it weird that out of no where there is this pole and a bat hangs on it. Kinda freaky though.

These gives you a rough idea of how the place looks like.

A painting of the late King of Pop. I bet it’ll fetch a good price here when everyone is craze over This is It movie.

At last we were at Pura Tanah Lot.

First expression goes like Holy cow, it’s packed with people! I know it’s a tourist attraction but I didn’t expect to see this big amount of people there though. I believe most of them are tourists like me too.

The very famous Pura Tanah Lot. Too bad there’s not sunset to see.

See the amount of people queue just to go in there. W didn’t bothered to check inside that day.

But nevermind, you still get to enjoy the wind by the sea and the sound of wave there.

It was low tide that time and the sand is kinda muddy, so becareful when walking there. I suggest you to wear your sandals instead of your nice sport shoe there.

You’ll see lotsa seashells at the side of the rocks. Amazing!

Some scenery around Pura Tanah Lot.

We lingerr there quite awhile before the sky is totally dark. On our way back, we saw one of our favourite food in Bali – Jagung Bakar. Of coz, we couldn’t resist the temptation of it. By looking the spicy jagung bakar itself I could feel the pool of saliva in my mouth.

Unfortunately, it didn’t taste as good as the one at Jimbaran. So, rememer, remember, remember to taste the spicy Jagung Bakar at Jimbaran beach yeah! Oh gosh…the thought of spicy Jagung Bakar now makes me drool~

I tried the local fruit called Salakalso known as Snake Fruit (no, it’s not a produce of Snake nor a fruit which snakes love to it), first time eating that fruit. Taste kinda special… sweet and acidic. Wikipedia states that its’ apple-like texture can vary from very dry and crumbly (salak pondoh from Yogyakarta) to moist and crunchy (salak Bali).

I saw some doggies patrolling their territory too.

The sky was getting dark and it was time to head back to Kuta to enjoy our SPA!!!

“The establishment of Pura Taman Ayun is related to the development of Mengwi kingdom in 17th century. A manuscript describing the birth of Mengwi kingdom called ” Babad Mengwi ” gives a description that the founder of the kingdom I Gusti Ngurah Putu after succeeded in extending his emporium he built Ulun Danu temple on the bank of lake Beratan, than moved his palace from Balahayu to Mengwi and built Taman Ayun temple. The date of construction is expressed on a carved door with chronogram reads ” Sad Bhuta Yaksa Dewa ” means 1634 AD.” – Info taken from BaliTouring.

The temple is surrounded by moat and I spotted some people fishing there.

ATTENTION ladies, please take note that if you are having the time of month, please respect and do not enter the temple. There is a board stating that clearly.

Another note, it is advised to dress appropriately before entering. But er…… I guess I kinda break that “rule”.

The entrance fees to Pura Taman Ayun is Rp3000 (RM1.07). Very cheap hor?

There is this very big hall which you will see. One of the staff explaining to tourist on the use of this great hall for occasions.

Upon entering, you will see a huge garden with a fountain by the side.

There is a Bell Tower (Kulkul) by the side where tourists can walk up to have a better view. This is also where the ceremonial drum used for summoning worshippers or to raise an alarm during crises is kept.

One of the shrine at Pura Taman Ayun.

Walk in further and you see the Candi Bentar which means split gate of Pura Taman Ayun.

Further down is the inner courtyard, covered by a gate which is Candi Korung (Covered gate). Accoridng to the staff there, the gate only opens every 50 years and there will be a big ceremony held.

But fret not, you will get to see what’s behind the gates though you can’t enter from the main gate. There is this path way by the side and you still get to see the building structure and shines there.

There is also a small gate at the side of the path way, but it’s lock too. I guess no one really can enter there. =\ Though they say no one can enter, I spotted a cat lying lazily under the shed there. Hmm..there’s an exception for animals?

The total number of shrines and pavilions in Pura Taman Ayun are 50 units. This shrines are not all dedicated to god or holy spirits but some are as ritual facilities, public hall, and decorations. In the inner courtyard comprises of 27 buildings of varying size and function.

Rows of bale or pavillion for court musicians, dancers and priests in the inner sanctuary at Pura Taman Ayun.

Rows of merus with ijuk black thatched roofing provides resting place for visiting spirits at Pura Taman Ayun.

Among them are the gods who dwell on Gunung Agung and Gunung Batur. An eleven-tiered meru (at the far end, in the right-hand corner) is dedicated to the rice goddess Dewi Sri.

There are many different tier of merus.

There are also many different design and sizes of shrines.

I find this shrine quite unique looking as if it has an anthenna built with it.

The designs of the shrines, merus, pavillions together with the craft design on it.

If not mistaken, this is where they have some prayers too.

I’m not sure why out of nowhere, there is this very skinny tall tree planted in the inner courtyard. Anyone knows?

According to the staff, if you feel disturbed, you can peel of a layer of the skin of this tree trunk and eat it. However, you must give an orffering before doing so. Otherwise… go think of the consequences yourself. Nothing comes free in life, you get it?

I find this picture nice.

That’s all for Pura Taman Ayun, hope you enjoyed it!

On the way there, there are some ongoing proyek, and we were forced to walk by the small roads to Warung Bali Guling Ibu Kota.

You’ll be very much surprised at the crowd there, it’s packed! As I can see, most of them are tourists, we were pretty lucky as we got a table after waiting just for awhile.

We were really in luck, once we sat on the table, there was a fresh Babi Guling which was just roasted and sent to the warung. Okay, dun stare at the whole Babi Guling for too long, you will feel disgusted, really. The expression of the pig is like it was grusomely murdered.

The workers, I’m not sure if she’s Ibu Oka, uses a big knife and beheaded the pig expressionless and emotionless, these are really by years of experience I believe. I dun think I could even chop off a chicken’s neck. Then, she uses the knife to pick up the head of the pig and poses for the camera.

The pig have been roasted till crispy golden brown colour. My god, look at that tail, the more I look at it the more I feel disgusted with it.

After the head been chopped off, you can see the spices inside of the stomach area.

The pork will then be chopped and to be served to customers.

We were waiting patiently for our plate of Babi Guling. Can’t wait to taste how nice it is.

The prices of a plate of Babi Guling are roughly about Rp25,000 ~ Rp30,000(RM8.90~RM10.54) depending on what you order. The once I ordered is served with a piece of the roasted pork skin, some very tender pork meat, fried pork fats, and some vegetables with the spices of Babi Guling on top of it.

The portion here looks small cause I shared a plate with Mei Yin and I just took half the portion of it. I couldn’t finish a plate not only because I have taken some food at Sukawati earlier, but also because of staring at the whole pork earlier for too long. I tried not to think too much, chucked everything into my mouth, chewed it fast and swallowed it.

In my opinion, the Babi Guling is totally overrated. From what everyone have said how famous and nice it is, I think it’s just so-so only, the skin was not even cripy, it’s quite chewy(Not sure was it just that pork, my piece of pork skin or was it actually meant to be like that). On our first bite, we have already thought of the Char Siew Siu Yoke Fan at Hock Lee, Damansara Heights. But anyway, since it’s so famous, just go and try it, at least make it like once in a lifetime experience.

 There are quite a few dogs around the warung. I guess it’s because it has good business there (as in many tourists feed them)

This is one pitiful looking grey dog layign around just outside of the warung.

There is also tiger-wannabe dog.

Both tiger-wannabe dogs were fighting for territory.

I also bought a bottle of Passion fruit flavoured drinks by Mizone from the store beside Warung Babi Guling Ibu Oka, you should try this. It’s quite nice and refreshing.

Our initial plan was also to try Bebek Bengil at Dirty Duck Diner, unfortunately we were so stuffed that we decided to put a stop. I kinda regret of not trying Bebek Bengil, I heard it’s really nice, much nicer than Babi Guling and it’s really crispy.

On the way back to our car, I spotted this creative looking van. It’s a van with bus entrance styled entrance, I repeat, it’s a van. It’s quite a common design over at Ubud as I saw quite a few van vehicle with the same entrance.

Did they design this by accident? As in accidental design discovery?

Here I am now, continuing my Bali post.

On the second day at Bali (24th July 2009), it’s time for jalan-jalan at Bali after taking our complimentary breakfast from the hotel. I’ll skip exactly where we’ve gone after that, not so important afterall, I’ll get to that after all the important points.

So, we went to Sukawati where it is famous for incredibly cheap stuff. I think I can spend my entire day there, not only because there are like zillion things to see, but oh-my-gosh, the people kinda “haunt” you there.

Once you step your foot at the urh..I consider it a marketplace, you will see a group of people storming to you like groups of fans seeing their favourite artist. Remember, you are not an artist there, but more like a choi-san-yeh(money god). All of them carrying their stuff on their hand and on top of their head persuading you to buy stuff from them, I find it quite a haunting experience. They will follow you wherever you go although you have tell them you are not interested.

Okay, one of the lady managed to persuade me to buy a white knitted hat. Not exactly that she persuaded me, but I find the hat quite nice and incredibly cheap! If I recall correctly, the open price she gave me was like Rp40,000 (RM14), Mr. BF managed bargain to only Rp20,000 (RM7). Wow, that’s like half the price! I bet if I get the hat in Malaysia, it gonna cost me about RM20.00 at least. By the way, behind me is a stall which sells their local fruit called Salak.

After buying this hat, another lady approached me and Carryse for a hat. I was like hey! I have already bought a hat. Guess what she told me? She told me to get another hat. My gosh, why would I need two same hat?

Carryse is even better at bargaining, she got the same hat at only Rp14000 (RM5). I really have no idea how do they earn money there.

You can see lotsa nice and great paintings there, I mean those people are like so talented! Too bad they are all cramp up there. I’m not exactly a person who is into painting but after seeing theirs, I just gotto get myself one.

Besides paintings, you can see them crafting some designs out.

We then took a light lunch over there too. My friends are like so crazy over the Bakso(beef ball) there, most of them ate two bowls. It cost only Rp5000 (RM1.80)/bowl. But I find it quite small bowl.

See the difference of size of the beef balls? The HUGE one a little different, there is a whole hard-boiled egg inside of it. I don’t eat beef, so don’t ask me how nice it is. I only tested the noodle and a little of the soup, but I could tell, it’s tasty!

Dun play-play, this dog is smoking. See the cigarette at it’s mouth?

Nah, of coz he is not smoking, it’s just some camera angle. But his is one lucky dog at Sukawati. Hm..I should say dogs around me while I’m eating are all lucky dogs coz I can never resist the pitiful puppy-eyed looks of them. Mr. BF ordered two bowls of Mie Bakso too, but 3/4 of the Bakso is fed to him, I only wanted to eat the noodles and Mr.Bf only wanted to try a little bit of Bakso. Byt the way, I call him Blackie ( I just thought of a name for him, Urh… I think it’s a him lah okay?)

I also tried their Indonesian Rojak which they call it Ketoprak. It is quite similiar to Malaysia Rojak, it has veges and tofu, but they added nasi impit and the keropok used is different. It cost Rp5000 (RM1.80). But nothing to shout about, I’d still prefer the Rojak at the roadside of Taman Tun.

Oh yeah, not to forget, you can Pie Susu at one of the shops at Sukawati at only Rp1000 (RM0.35). It’s similiar to egg tarts, but it’s condensed milk instead of eggs, and it is really thin.

I’m a fan of condensed milk, so I kinda like it, but I would think it will be much nicer if it is thicker. It’s worth trying, really. Where can you get a tart at only RM0.35?!

I think I wanna start Google searching for Pie Susu recipe already!

From far, you can already judge how strong the wave is. No wonder that Bali is famous for surfing, it’s considered one of the surfing paradise. You can actually see many mat saleh bring their surfing boards there and strut their stuff. There’s just too many reasons to mention why we love the beach.

Oh, not to forget. Bikini gals by the beach, specially those sun-tanning ones.

From far, the wave somewhat looks like a mini tsunami. Please dun commit suicide. Go save yourself, swim and run for your life.

oOooooOoo..sexy laydeh!

Nice wave~

Check out the reflection on the beach. It’s really nice like a painting.

We spotted this flag but I got no idea what flag is this. Doesn’t seem to be Indonesia flag coz Indonesia flag with just red and white. Can anyone tell me what flag is that?

If you see on the beach itself, you’ll see lotsa holes with a small little creature moving. If you take a closer look, here it is. A tiny lil crab!

Awhile later we took a cab and headed to Jimbaran beach for a seafood dinner by the beach. Sounds nice right? It is really nice as it sounds! There’s no reason for you not to love this!

See the ocean behind me? The feelings of having this dinner is just too satisfying! You get to enjoy the food while looking at the ocean and listen to the sound of the wave. Your stress level will certainly decrease, we should have this in Malaysia. I’m sure it’ll be a demand.

Bintang is really a star in Bali. You see most people drinking Bintang there coz it’s almost half the price compared to other beer.

I ordered for a coconut for my drink. It’s huge!

The airport is just kinda right beside us. Fantastic! We could see the plane landing even from our table. Jimbaran beach is a little different from the Kuta beach. Here, you can see lotsa lil sampan around, I guess they use it for some fishing here.

Of coz, there’s not only one restaurant there, there are like about 5~10 restaurants there. See the amount of people? Dun play play.

My friends have earlier on went to choose the seafood for the chef to cook, so, while waiting for our main dishes, we spotted the stall which sells jagung bakar (baked jagung). They sell 3 types of flavour which is sweet, salty, and spicy.

I ordered for the spicy jagung cuz I’ve never tried that in my life before. I tell you hor, it’s superbly yummy! You feel the crunchiness and juiciness accompanied by the spiciness in each bite. Oh gosh,it’s making me craving for more now! Too bad I can’t find it here. Anyone knows where to spicy jagung bakar here? =(

Not long later our main dishes has finally served.

1.4kg Red Snapet @ IDR 140,000 (RM49.70).

0.5kg Jumbo Prawns(5 parwns) @ IDR180,000 (RM63.90).

1.2kg Calamari @ IDR120,000 (RM42.60).

1.0kg Garoupa @ IDR100,000 (RM35.50).

Free Vegetables. It’s refillable.

Free Rice too.

Look at the amount of people having dinner by the beach there!

We spent IDR826,000 (RM293.23) on the dinner, excluding jagung bakar.

Oh yeah… Not to forget there are a group of people who sings table by table and ask for some donation.

They sang a song and Mr. BF requested for one more song which is Rasa Sayang.

When they finished the song, they asked for donation and Mr BF paid IDR2000. While giving the donation, Mr. BF requested for one more song, the dude saw the amount of donation and ignored us and faster move to next table. LOL. We’re just too kiam-siap. Tell me, how much would you donate?

It was kinda rush on our departure from Brilly’s place to the airport though.

We were hoping to be on time to board our plane! There were 6 of us, but 3 of us(Carryse, me and Mr.BF) have to board an earlier plane which is 1 1/2 hours than the rest. There was such a long queue at the airport, they opened all lanes for flying into Indonesia, not for Bali ONLY. Oh Gosh..luckily managed to check in my luggage.

Fast forward, we’re already on AirAsia flying off!

We didn’t have our breakfast earlier so we ordered in the flight itself. Surprisingly, I gotta say and agree on this, the food was kinda nice.

I ordered for Nasi Lemak @ RM15.

Mr. BF ordered for Fried Rice with Satay @ RM15. It taste like tomato.

You can start seeing Bahasa Indonesia in the flight like these. Seriously, I got not much of idea what does this mean. I guess it mean “Card credit AirAsia HSBC now fly more ohm!” ? Just my wild guess…

We also have some forms to fill in including health declaration form. You know, these are pretty important info just incase any of us are tested with H1N1 positive.

But seriously, no one (okay, just a few) is wearing mask that it made me felt so safe by not wearing it too. But you know, I like to cam-whore, so I saja wear the mask awhile and took this photo.

After 3 hours of flight we’ve finally arrived at our destination, Denpasar Airport, Bali, Indonesia. We have to sit the shuttle bus from the plane area to the terminal itself.

Here, we can start to see the Balinese building structure.

Of coz, we’ll have to go through immigration part first. But 3 of us was so blur that we have queued at the wrong lane. We only got to know when it finally reaches our turn. So, there was this one officer that attended to us and bring us to the correct lane. He asked if we we want to queue up or not. Of coz not! We’ve queued up for quite long at the earlier lane and we need to queue again?! When we reaches the correct place to queue, we heard him asking for some tips, like IDR20,000 (RM7.10) or IDR 30,000(RM10.65). Sorry man, we’re kiam-siap people and btw why should we pay? If we have knew that earlier on we would have queued up. So, we walk off once we got our passport chopped.

Then, we proceed to check-out from the airport. On the way, you will see one stretch of counters which will totally catch your attention and slow down. Wow, there are whole stretch of money changers counters which persuading you non-stop to change your currency with them. When I say whole stretch, I do mean WHOLE STRETCH, like 10~15 counters with no other stuff sold there, ONLY money changer. Interesting, dun they have any other location to open a money changer counter? Why all at the same place?

Once walk out of the airport, you can see many of the hotel staff or friends or family standing there waiting. I guess most of them are hotel staff as you can see them holding the card with the person’s name. Ceh… How come dun have my name? I have always wanted to see that as if I have fans there waiting for me. Geez, I’m day-dreaming.

I also noticed that they are kinda organized in terms of their luggage, you see…they arranged it nicely. I saw this kinda arrangement inside the airport itself on the baggage claiming area. The staff will help to unload the baggage from the moving belt and arrange it nicely in lines.

Also, there’s no chairs/bench outside of the airport on the waiting area. I saw people sitting on those metal thingie (dunno what is it called). I wonder if it’s a bench… coz most people sit either on that, or just on the floor.

We took some pictures at Denpasar airport itself with the Balinese building structure. You know, as a tourist, you must always take lotsa pictures, else you dun really look like a tourist.

Remember that I mentioned our flight are 1 1/2 hours earlier than the rest of them? We found a place to relax while waiting for them.

We ordered Iced Cendol @ IDR12,000 (RM4.26) . The green part of the cendol looks kinda different… It’s like translucent green, it looks like jelly instead. The taste was so-so only.

Another drink which we ordered is Iced Campur @ IDR12,500 (RM4.44), I guess it’s suppose to be like our ABC. It taste kinda different from our ABC though. It’s sweet, but different kinda sweet. Oh gosh, I’m just bad at explaining. Go try it yourself next time k?

You want some Sup Buntut? It cost IDR 35,000 (RM12.43) . Not not some Butt or Ass Soup, it’s Oxtail soup la.

You see, white rice also cost IDR5.5k there. Eat one white rice also need few K? Life’s not easy.  Aiyah, we should look at the price after conversion. WHAT THE HACK? Now I realize it’s really expensive. RM1.95 for one bowl or steamed white rice?!

Btw, I’ve forgotten to capture the shop name. It was kinda hard to read so I din bother to take note of the name.

After some time of chit-chatting, the others have finally arrived which means it’s time to check-in to hotel! We have our driver which is from the hotel itself. I know…this pic is ugly… Haha!

On the way, you’d probably notice something which is kinda obvious. There are lotsa people riding on motor bikes and another thing which is very obvious are the roads! The roads are just too cramp! Such small lane. I wonder how can they drive, they’re so skillful! I guess they’re trained ever since they got their license. Seriously, if you give me a car to drive over there, I’m pretty sure I’ll get lotsa scratches on my car. Dun laugh, not only me, you will too. You’ll know how tough is it to drive when you get there.

No kidding, look at this.

Looks like one-way road right? It’s actually two-way road. Be surprised! We basically travel through those small lorong(lane), yes, small lorong are like a normal road to them, it’s those small lorong that you’ll avoid driving in Malaysia. After about 20 minutes of car ride we’ve finally reach our hotel – MASTAPA Garden Hotel.

If you’re interested for a tattoo, the shop is right beside the hotel.

Pak Brilly helped us to check-in to the hotel.

I was so eager and excited to see how our hotel looks like. The hotel is only RM100/night per room. Cheap hor?  Their garden looks pretty nice and comfy with lotsa green, small man-made river, parrots and birds.

Not to forget a big fat wild rabbit which jumps around at the garden.

When I opened the hotel room door, my excitements suddenly all gone with the wind in short seconds and started to feel eerie when stepped into the room. It’s not that the hotel is dirty, it’s just the stuff there are pretty worn out but still usable. It wasn’t good and impressive so I didn’t bother to take photo of my room. But took 1 at the balcony, see the view from my room. So “nice” hor? Can see those houses rooftop.

I should stop whining, after all, it’s just RM100/night per room INCLUDING breakfast. LOL. CHEAP right? It’s actually alright if you plan to spend most of your time out of hotel and just back for taking some rest before the next day’s journey begun. There’s pros and cons bout no star hotels. Cons is that you dun have nice bed to sleep, pros is that the risk of getting bomb is kinda low.

My colleague was even jokingly saying that perhaps those bomber are staying in those cheap no-star hotel as us. Who would want to bomb a place which only occupied by so few people compared to those 5/6 stars hotel? It kinda make sense though…

By the way, if you do not know yet, I always create a checklist for packing before each travel.

Nah… My luggage for 3 days 2 nights stuff.

These are the stuff in my luggage :

- 2 sets of sleeping clothes
- 1 dress
- 3 short pants
- 9 tops
- Lingerie (innerwears, dun simply think)
- 1 slingback
- 1 pair of walking shoes
- 2 camera chargers
- Nokia handphone charger
- Pinky bag (some of my facial stuff together with make-ups)
- Umbrella (in-case rain)
- 3 sun-blocks (1 waterproof for face, 1 normal type for face, 1 waterproof type for body)
- Purple Bag ( This is like a doraemon pocket which me and Mr. BF couldn’t live without while travelling)

These are the stuff in Purple Bag.

These are the stuff in my Pinky Bag.

By the way, there was some prediction by a software engineer months back about Earthquake will happen on 22nd July and causes a Tsunami which will hit Bali. I guess it’s safe to go since I receive no news of earthquake in Japan yet as of this moment. Perhaps, I should be more worried about possibility of bombing or H1N1 rather than Tsunami.

Ok, I’m starting to feel my eyes hurt now, time to rest now. Oh, Bali, here I come in a few hours time! Ciaoz guys.
