Eat Pray Love in Bali

Hello all, I was having my 4 days 3 nights Bali holiday during 22th to 25th of Jan 2012. Here are my itinerary with some random shots we took during the trip. It was a fun-filled days for me.

...

Day 1,
01. Check-in to Bounty Hotel after touch down Bali Island.

 02. Welcome drink for us and that guy behind is a bell-boy with great service.

 03. Nice room, decorated with traditional Balinese style.

 04. Dinner at Kori Restaurant which ranked #6 of 150 restaurants in Kuta. Lovely atmosphere!

 05. A picture infront of the main entrance of Kori.

06. Foods

12.  One of the transports found in Bali, it's donkey

13. I found some cute stuffs at Minimart ( the 24-hours convenience stall, which is similar to 7-11 in Malaysia ) *Hello Kitty charms collection*

14. Dinner at Segara Restaurant, a place where seafood meets sunset. It is located just behind Discovery Shopping Mall.

15. And the restaurant faces the sea. Wonderful sea view and breeze.

 16. On the way back to hotel and I noticed this gigantic "wave"

Day 3, 


17. Went to Turtle Island

18. June and I, again.

19. Hello tiny little turtle!

20. Left, smiling while holding the turtle. Right, holding a real snake, yet under my innocent smile, I'm actually very scare at the moment.

21. Time for water sport - Flying Fish. A pretty exciting activity where 2 person were riding on the "fish" (rubber boat), then, the speed boat in front will pull the "fish" (the rubber boat that you are riding on)  and you will 'fly'. I was literally felt like a flying fish. I can't barely open my eyes when it is flying. The wind is just too strong. And I wanted to play Parasailing there, unfortunately, it was off due to the strong wind, the local staff said it was too dangerous and they cannot afford the risk. Well, I guess I'll be saving it for the next visit. :/

 22. Then we snorkeling, we were enjoying inside the water.

23. Poor me, cannot stand the waving sea, I'm done after snorkeling for about 10 minutes
       Then, take a rest on boat but my sea sickness did not diminish.  :(

24. After some water sports games, I saw some "kakak" offering Braiding hair service and I asked for the service as well, but only for a small portion of my hair. HAHA

25. The outcome, nice?

25. We went to Uluwatu Temple ( Pura Uluwatu ) after we took our lunch at Jimbaran Beach Restaurant.

26. Uluwatu is one of the beautiful Hindu Temples and it is famous in Bali Island. We can't enter the temple because it's only for those who are worshiping and we were just able to walk around outside the boundaries of the temple. This photo was took outside the gate.

27. Great sightseeing from Uluwatu. Perched high on steep cliff overlooking the ocean. By the way, the temple is famous for harboring a troup of misbehaving monkeys. Visitors were warned not to wear any of their personal belongings and keep the bags inside their vehicle because the monkeys had trained by some immoral locals to snatch traveler's belongings. Those "kind-heart" locals will "help" you to get your stuff back from the monkey and ask for money in exchange. Tsk tsk tsk, how dare they did such bad things around the temple? I believe they will get their karma one day.

28. Dining at TJ's Mexican Restaurant, I like the nice and cozy ambience of the restaurant. Most of the customers were caucasian.

29. After dinner, I did manicure. The price is just cheap.

Day 4,


30. Picture on airplane.

 31. Way back to Malaysia.

A sweet and nice short closure, I'm happy to be back~ ♥

my 2012 Chinese New Year

Hey, another week has passed and I hope everyone had enjoyed the celebration of Chinese New Year (holidays for those who do not celebrated). Other than those “typical” questions relatives would ask, one common question people usually ask during CNY is “how much did you win?” Yes, gambling is a common practice amongst Chinese during CNY. Honestly, I do not know how to gamble, cards and mahjong seems like a foreign culture to me. You might think it is weird that I do not know how to play, but it is my family brought up. I’m not allowed to play since young. Daddy said it is meaningless to win family’s (relatives) money and gamble does harm to people. However, it is fun watching relative laughing and shouting during the process. I think it is another way of bonding among the relatives. Nevertheless, self-control is my advice to those who gamble. Otherwise it might ruin your celebration mood and even relationship with relatives and friends. Besides, I had been traveling to Bali in the past few days. Unfortunately, there is something happened to my relatives. I felt sorry that I couldn't attend my uncle’s funeral. (R.I.P)

In the remembrance of both of my deceased grandpas, this year, both side of my family did not celebrate CNY. And I hope both of them doing well in another world. (':
p.s- I will update the Bali post on coming Tuesday night or Wednesday. Stay tune.

....................................... some random photos ...........................................

01. I was enjoy the flight staring out the window and taking pictures.

02.  Reunion dinner with my lovely family after I back from Bali.

and my outfit of the day,

A promised post

As I’d promised, I'll reveal where I bought my instant camera.

Well, I went to Bangkok for 6 days trip last December. During my trip, I did shop like a shopaholic and enjoy my vacation with all the activities a traveler will do. It was on the 4th day, when I got my eyes on these colorful babies while I was walking through a shopping mall.

Look at them! How adorable! I can't take my eyes off them.

They are sparkling at the display cabinet behind the glass window. Sadly, I was not allowed to step into the shop because I’m half way through consuming my ice cream. Can you imagine what a young little girl will do when she notice an adorable doll? (Additionally with lollipop in their hand or ICE CREAM) Yep, I’m pretty much in that situation. I stared at them with my shinny/bling bling eyes, quickly finish up my ice cream before I went into the store and ask about its price.
Surprisingly, it was not that expensive from what I had expected.The calculation of the price will depends on how many colors you want on it, the more color combined, the more expensive it will be. FYI, my model is just around same price with the white/brown model which is available for sale in Malaysia. Actually, I’m not a big fan of the gadget. The reason that I had bought it is because of its uniqueness and of course the colors that had attracted me.Trust me, if you're huge fans of it. It's really worthy to own one of these.

TAKE NOTE! 
(LOCATION) you can go around Siam Center and seek for the shop during your trip to Bangkok. I'm sorry that I cannot give proper directions due to my weak memory for addresses and unfamiliarity of that place, but from what I’d recall, I’m sure it's around Siam Center. Good Luck for hunting it!  By the way, they do have a lot of nice shops (cloths) around there too.

owh, and I had bought a Hello Kitty Multi-Lens from there too.

 

      Good for me, I can use it for self-shooting/cam whore, haha 

.......................................................................................................

Also, I just wanted to share that recently I'm addicted to a iphone app - Viddy.

Viddy is a great looking video sharing app ♥
After you capture a video, you can apply stunning effects to your video clips and share them in social networks. Awesome right? just like Instagram. heee...

And here is my 1st Viddy video which i play w my eyebrows , ( wait for second and the clip will appear )

That is all for now. I'm feeling kind of tired today. The air-conditioning at my work place is getting colder each day. Seriously! I felt like I am going to faint in frozen condition . I hope they can adjust the temperature accordingly. I need to sleep now and wake up at 6.30 a.m. tomorrow. It will be another long day of internship. 

Good night and sleep tight. xo!
