 Garuda...

we had our dinner at Jimbaran while watching the sunset...

Jimbaran seafood by the beach...love it...and later we got free music...hehehe...after dinner we went back to our hotel...shower...and then Joyce and HH headed to the club...i'm too tired i fell asleep...(aunty ade)...

Day 3 - Batubulan (Batik Workshop), Celuk, Mas, Goa Gajah, Ubud Palace, Tampak Siring (Tirta Empul Temple), Kintamani....(i totally can't remember which 1 is which...)

first destination - Barong Dance...and this is where i saw my client..Ms. Tang (PMB Facade)...the world is so small...

actually i dunno wat it's toking about except some part is farnie and later i read the synopsis...lol...

after the show, we went lunch at Kintamani...it's super cold..and i'm practically freezing...

 see how cute is yen aun...hehehehe...

there's volcano behind..but covered by the mist already...after lunch we went to a Coffee & Cocoa Farm...Sorry Chengli...can't get u ur Kopi Luwak..it's freaking expensive...cost RP600,000...

 chocolate with cocoa...

 trying to crush coffee beans...

 and we got to try free coffee and tea...

yes...and we tried Luwak coffee...any of u who wants to noe more about luwak coffee..please visit chengli's blog (topaz_stone)

summarised everything, an animal called the civet, choose and eats the best berries of the coffee, and the beans go through their system undigested. The enzyme in their stomach had added value to the coffee beans and becomes the most expensive coffee in the world (which is also because it takes longer time to collect a big bunch of beans..coz u haf to wait for the civet to shit it out)...

i totally can't believe i'm drinking shit rite now...n it's super bitter and taste powdery...mayb because i din mix it properly...oooh ya...n no sugar added...

after the farm visit we went to another temple..dat haf to wear sarung as well...hmmmm...actually all the temples also haf to wear sarung...

 and i met Ms. Tang again...

 us doing stupiak pose...

 more stupiak posessss....

 gigantua fish....

 wif gigantua door...

 and it's shopping time!!~

dinner at Dirty Duck Restaurant...duck is called bebek in bahasa bali...there r some other differences..such as beef is called sapi instead of lembu...

 crunchy bebek bengil...

after dinner the 3 of us went to Paddy's Club for the Snow Party...but i haf to say this club is really racist...it's so obvious the Asian received different services...and i think 1 of the person in charge had eaten the rare mushroom because he kepy laughing and start hugging us saying thank you..(please google on the rare mushroom information..it's actually some kinda mushroom dat when u eat it u'll laugh and b happy for a time being...but it's not drug..it's actually legal...)

 wearing flip flop to club is the best!!~

Day 4 - Taman Ayun, Alas Kedaton, Bedugul, Tanah Lot

 wah....we're immitating my mom's pose...lol...

temple on the sea..another reason why i got sunburn...

actually i dun even remember which place is which...but they r all beautiful...

 a very beautiful, must-go-place...Tanah Lot...

my aunt said watching sunset in Tanah Lot is actually even more prettier...the temple is in the middle of the sea...and we haf to wait for the tide is low only we can walk over to the temple......oooh ya..n there's 3 guys who thinks Joyce is some celebrity and wanted to take picciess wif her....hahahahahaha...

 all the stupiak poses..dat's y ppl start laughing

 Yen Aun's favourite pose...

 Family Picture...

 missing dad...he'll definitely wanna come...

we had dinner at some restaurant where we sit on the bamboo, atap house to eat...n above is the asparagus soup...not bad actually...but after dinner, my uncle kinda vomitted and diarrea...

we don't have much money left...so we only walk along Kuta area...and went back to our hotel to drink...we bought back Bintang Beer from Circle K (their 7-11)...

Day 5 - Free & Easy...from Denpasar back to reality..(KL)

woke up...breakfast till 10am..den went to Kuta Beach...

 and surfing...(next round must learn to surf)

we had medi & pedi..Joyce had a temporary tattoo..HH had massage and sun tan...

we back to hotel at noon to bid farewell to my family as their flight is earlier...and we went to the jacuzzi and pool again..

we later had lunch at Circle K and tried their instant noodles...(more like we're broke)...we haf to save RP150,000 for custom fees...

after lunch we went over to Legian Street to buy accessoriess...kena con...so expensive...actually it's still cheap...but is like we can get cheaper else where and we haf to bargain more for it......but one thing i learn from this trip...i'd increase my bargaining skill...

 so we left Bali at 8.40pm...*sigh*...

 hate the getting back to reality feeling...

and i definitely miss Bali...will come back again next year...provided i haf the money...
