~ just the two of us ~

It's our second time back in Bali.. this time it's not just the two of us.. but seven to nine of us! All thanks to Andry, we managed to get good and cheap accommodation... not to mention.. BIG one too.. :) The main highlights of this trip was, the activities.... Jason & I said that the next time round if we ever go back to Bali, is that we want to experience the white water river rafting... and Andry suggested para-sailing last minute as well. So, I'm pretty satisfied we did these 2 while were in Bali. The rest, was bonus. :)

the living hall... the sofa can be turned into a bed at night...where at least 2 guys slept...

the kitchen... can cook here, gas stove, frying pan, cups, plates, utensils all provided...

the master-room where 3 guys slept...

the 2nd room where Yibs & I slept...


Para-Sailing @ Tg. Benoa Beach

I volunteered to be the 1st among us to go. Check out the red & blue gloves. It's to tell you which one you need to pull the ropes to make you "stop" and slowly "drop" down.

Strapping me up, ready to go...OK, I kinda admit I was abit nervous at this point of time.. hahaha..

About to land.. can you see I'm trying so hard to pull the rope to make it land at the correct spot? At this point of time, I didn't want to stop.. I wanted to go another round.. the view from up there was just to spectacular that I had no time to "swallow" everything in just yet.... But, all good things must come to an end.. *sob sob*


Visit to Tanah Lot

Yibs & I entertaining ourselves at the small bazaar before reaching the Tanah Lot entrance.. Pretty hats, ya?

White Water River Rafting (Payung Adv)

Yibs & I at the river, getting ready for action! We got a special price for this rafting, not as advertised at their website.. Thanks to Andry.. :)

Bliss Spa

We had chocolate bath after the massage.. My skin was extremely soft and smooth...we had green tea scrubs.. :)

At the famous Kuta beach... once again, after 1.5 yrs..:)

Re-visiting after 1.5 yrs.. just that we're not staying here.. :P

FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD!

1st meal upon arrival, Ayam Betutu

The chili was stinging! But it was superb!

NASI PECEL

This is mine.. hmm... super-cheap right? It's just about S$1.30! So much of food! I don't mind eating this for economy rice everyday... tastes good!

Suckling pig, or famously known as "Babi Guling"

You get to eat every part of the pig. The ears, the TONGUE (see the rolled one?) the skin, the meat, so on.. Gross, but the fried skin actually tastes good. Hahaha. Like "keropok".

"Bebek" is duck in Indon language. Don't ask me why it's called dirty duck.. More famously known as "Bebek Bengil".

The Bebek Bengil dish.. can be served with fries or rice.. :)

The food spread at Bebek Bengil; Bebek Bengil x3, Nasi goreng (thumbs up for this!) x2, Nasi campur (nice!) x2, Gado-gado x1, assorted drinks (mixed fruit juices, ice blended).. yummy!

Last but not least, we bought lots of indo-mee for supper @ the hotel. Hehehe.

So, this ends the whole trip we had in Bali.. it was a goooooooooood and long-awaited trip...
Thank God for AirAsia too that they just recently opened their new route from Spore direct to Bali.... Awaiting for the next trip..... have to look at budget airlines promo.. I know some of them from the group will be going to climb Mt. KK in June, and some having a road-trip to Australia.. All thanks to budget airlines... Hehehe... Shall we start planning for next year? *wink*.

Hubby shaved his head... almost botak but left about 1cm of hair around.. hahah... still getting used to his look...

Yesterday I was on the way back from gym, and he from his badminton session, so we decided to meet up for dinner at the food court in front of my place. He didn't tell me that he didn't shave bald clean. I reached, and I suddenly remembered in the sea of people, it should be easy to spot a bald head. And so I did.. I walked directly towards that direction the person was sitting, and wanted to give him a good surprise head-rub, and I suddenly detoured myself when I found that hmm.. this guy is not hubby!.. and Jason was sitting at the table behind the man.. Imagine if I had head-rub him.. oh my goodness.. I just can't imagine...And he wore almost the same colored pair of specs.. I think I'll just faint there and there...

And last night I had some difficulties sleeping because my nose was blocked and running... Hubby suddenly opened his eyes so big and looked at me to check if I was ok...I got a shock! Hahaha...Thank God I didn't choke holding back my scream/ shock. :P

Ah well, I think he looks better now.. :)

1) Will be back in Segamat this weekend and thereafter in Malacca on Monday.. :D (Hoping if there's durians and mangosteens now)

2) Am still surviving, I still have a job.. Praise the Lord for His love & mercies endures forever.. We are not in want.. :)

3) Christmas decor along Orchard Road is such a disappointment this year! one word: U-G-L-Y
- must be because of the recession. hehehe...

4) Irony of things: We're in a midst of a technical recession but yet, I still see people spending and dining out and shopping malls packed and crowded!

5) COE price was $2 yesterday. It's so crazy! Arggghhhh!

6) Citibank is laying off 52k staffs worldwide. W-O-W! Aren't you grateful that you still have a job on hand? (even though you have multiple days of shutdown, pay-cuts and what not?)

7) Property prices here are going down... slowly but surely... woo hoo! - saving up now... :P

8) Am going to have lots of Penang char kuey tiaws & asam laksa after Christmas.. yummy!

9) Just played Little Big Planet on PS3 yesterday...technically it was hubby, not me. It's so cute!! I just love the graphics! Now I know why Fy is hooked on this :P ...now.. it would be nicer if we had a bigger screen.. hehehehe....

10) Am looking forward to new year as will be having a small reunion with ex-schoolmates & their weddings... :)

This is a super backdated post since it's been a long time I last blog.. Sorry everyone..

So, since hubby's birthday and mine is only 5 days apart, I shall just blog about it here... in one post.. hehehe..so watch out.. it's gonna be a long post full of pics.. :P

11th Oct 08 - His b'day

We went to the Mint Museum Restaurant... It's actually a toy museum.. very cool....so.. here goes all the pics taken.. sorry ya, it was taken with my N73, didn't bring my camera.. :P

At the entrance of the cafe

Behind this is the kitchen.. check out the comic books and toys!

Yummy-licious food, not to mention the size too!

All of us at the "Taboo" table.. hehehe

What is not shown here is the pantry, they have a free flow of vending machines.. it's free!!! Yes it's Free!!!! and plus, Jason & Duns were hooked on the Nintendo Wii!.. Yess, they have that too! I wonder how the employees concentrate.. hahaha... It was a good night.. Thanks to my cell leader for organising.. :) *muaks!*

16th Oct 08 - My b'day

After work, met up with Jason at City Hall... wanted to go have a look at Coach bags.. :P (before that did some online research to compare prices)...He was late, as usual..(was tired, and not in a good mood that day actually) but he did surprise me with a bunch of flowers! How sweet.. :P

But we also side-track and I went in to Burberry's, and fell in love with a sling bag.. Didn't buy it straight away as it's so much more expensive here.. Well, asking a friend to get for me when she's in Japan.. :P Ah well.. that all depends.. hehehe...

We ended up at PS Cafe in Paragon.... tried their recommendation of the turkey sandwich, which was really good! After that, we went to chill at SMU's cafe, first time there, and students get 30% discount.. quite worth it.. they have all kinds of beers from all over the world.... nice!

3 gerberas.. 

Some turkey sandwich which we both shared because it was huge & filling!

Having the famous carrot cake.. it was totally a healthy dinner that night!

Had a drink (we shared a bottle) at SMU's beer cafe.. Students gets 30% discount..

Not bad huh?

Yups... it's back again... hehehe... itching to get a Nikon/Canon DSLR... they have got very good freebies... like a free lens and extra memory card and so on... and most are below SGD1k. Of course, the range of cams are for amateurs like me. :)

So many things happening in my work-life now that I'm so glad that the weekend is finally arriving. WooHoo! Till then... chaoz...

It was a bright, sun-shiny day on Sunday. We decided the night before to go to ECP as we've not been there for quite some time till after Jess & Yin were around. We went cycling instead. Jason, Ken, myself. Bec followed us, but she chose to do some self-reflecting moments by the beach all by herself. :P

spot 'em

our rented bikes & Ken's bike

my part-time models

We had a great time there, then went to Subway for brunch, and headed home as we had a lunch appointment at 2pm.

It was Steph's farewell as she's leaving for UK this Friday. So Jules, the organizer, managed to get some of the ex-MMUCFers here for a small gathering. The lunch place was PS Cafe which was at Hardings Road, near Holland V. And it's just a nice place (and so is the price!)! Very colonial and westernized. It really sets you in that setting that you don't feel you're in an Asian country. I don't mind having a nice romantic dinner with a nice bouquet of flowers to accompany me.. *ahem, hint, hint* :P
Since pics are not really allowed in the place except if it's with your friends, so here goes...
