on our way of exploring, my sister and lai li got their temporary tattoos. i very lazy to get one.>< aahh..wats better than a foot massage after a long long walk?? This is shinkei spa, very good with cheap prices! i came back here again another day. hehe.

here is ngurah rai airport. we were waiting for chi ling to arrive.

at night, we went to maxi cafe to chill out. and had their drink called "arak on the rock". its a balinese traditional drink woh.

kuta street is very very happening! day time lots of shops to walk around. night time its all clubs and pubs. some even opened for 24 hours. this is one of the clubs. we came here clubbing on the last night. HEHE
we had dinner at jimbaran bay seafood. its absolutely majestic here. eating by the beach!! something i've always want to do!! the wind blowing, the sound of waves, good food - sooooo relaxing!



17th March 2009
First destination was batu bulan, where we paid 50,000 RP to watch a tradisional performance called rangda and barong.


Rangda and Barong are both mythical creatures. Barong is the good one. A fight between good and evil.the performance was held at a temple. that's the entrance door with such rich carvings.

after that, we went to see how batik was done. in bali, batik were drawn just like that!! in malaysia, we have to lay the fabric before drawing.


this reminds me of my workplace. haha

this is one of the pics from visiting Celuk, the balinese village. Aunty was cooking some delicious food. heheanother shot from the balinese village. the rooms are really small but felt cosy :)

Kinta City, the volcano mountain. we stopped for lunch here :)

Pura Pusar, the home of studio artists. its indescribable the quality of paintings here. it's just WOW. we bought two painting from here XD

trying out the coffee and other drinks in Tapak Siring. The famous ones was luwak coffee. very expensive. it's very nice to drink lo! luwak is an animal, it eats a fruit then it was processed in the body - haha then the shit is use to make coffee beans.

cheers! the ginger tea is nice too. i bought bali coffee only. for ah fong. the coffee lover. lols.

BALI Part 2

18th March 2009
On our way to Besakih Temple, the mother of all temples and also the rice terrace, we stopped by a place - up on the hill, cooling and fantastic view! I think it's called Gunung Catur. :)


that's me, karen and my sister

this little makan place overlooks the rice terrace view, we stopped by for a quick bite before continuing on to besakih. darn hungry and the temple is way high up. we ate mee sedap instant noodle lols. and carbonated bottle drinks. very rare we find bottle colas or sprites anymore.
that's the rice terrace! the paddy field is famous of it's few storeys. absolutely amazing!

oh sorry forgot ah, before that, we went to Denpasar. This is at a temple near Museum Bali. the museum was closed so couldn't go. =.='

This is also at Denpasar, Pasar Badung. We came here to buy sarongs. At Besakih temple, we need to wear sarongs hehe. Cover a bit ma, holy place nehh ngek2x

Oh there it is!! Besakih! it's very very huge! i climbed this, then i dunit climb batu caves dy. >_<
the high-up thing they hung up has their own symbols. Red symbolizes fire and so on. i can't remember all the temple stories haha. but this temple has been here for i dont-know-how-long. few decades probably!!

that's chi ling and me. in sarongs hahaha. i brought my own sarong neways. hehe

from left: me, mobby, lai li and karen. mobby praying wor :P

we head over to Chandi Dasa, recommended by Chi Ling must come! it's also a black sand beach like the one in langkawi. but of course, miles better than langkawi. because in langkawi it's no longer black. this is still well preserved. we enjoyed the sunset here...beautiful. i love watching sunsets at beach.
another shot. :)
there is a cuisine called bakso here. bakso babi ader, bakso ayam atau kambing also got. it's a very unique recipe, first time trying it. it's cooked in soup, with dices of nasi pulut, glass noodles and the bakso. bakso means balls actually.
