Come on barbie, let's go Bali
Sunday, June 21, 2015 @ 6:35 PM
It's been months since I've updated. Just a little notice, I'm accepted to read Business Management in RMIT SIM GE, and I'm starting school in July already! Within the time span when I get back from Bali and till date, I have been working full time for Ellysage (as usual). Didn't had a lot of time to meet up with my friends since everyone is also busy with their own stuff. To the extend I think I'm getting a little depressed LOL. Currently, yuan's in BKK and serene's working her weekends off (poor thing). As for sak I think he's probably enjoying his holidays from school. Charlie, hahaha this guy is happily dating his time away (SO PROUD OF YOU BOY). I know dan's on the sick bug with me too. Whereas lai and jav.. I totally lost idea what they're up to for quite a few months.
Now you get why I say I'm depressed, because once we've graduated, the amount of time we get to spend together have gotten so minimal. Soon, in a month's time I'll be sending serene off to UK and then yuan in Sep. I'm going to miss them badly! :(
Enough updates, I shall start off with the over due bali trip that happened on the 24th of March to 27th of March. We stayed at Seminyak Bali and we located a villa for 9 of us (Villa Cantik Tresna). I expected it to be a lot bigger but I am really in love with its tropical resort feel, especially the toilet!!! Wait before I get in details of the place, let me show you some photos first.
Our flight was 7:15 ish in the morning, so we had arranged to meet 530am. We had too much time to spare while we were in the airport and since me lai and dan didn't really want to eat any breakfast, we went for a short tour around the airpot. It was hilarious and thankgod the entire "tour" was recorded down. I will link my vlog for your viewing pleasure, AHAHHA.
We took Jetstar and this is my second time taking a plane. Goodness, I think I totally forgot we were taking a budget airline. The plane was so tinyyyyy?!?!?! LOL I thought it was a 3 5 3 sitting because the only plane I took was Korean Airline and it was spacious af. I got a shock when I only saw 3 3 sitting arrangement when I step in. LOL sua ku ttm. Oh and since it's the second time I'm taking the plane, I really lost feel of the pressure when the plane is taking off. It's been 6 years!!!! LOL I was panicking when the plane took off, I hugged my own jacket and I realise it's too thin and I felt so insucure. Lol I think lai cannot take me anymore so he threw his jacket over after hearing me cringe as we move off.
Here you go, Villa Cantik Tresna. It came with 3 rooms, 2 master bedroom sized, 1 tiny one. A pool, a kitchen (with legit cutleries for usage), a dinning area and also a living room. There's this bed located beside the living room and directly beside the pool. THAT'S LIKE EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE PLACE TO LIE DOWN ON. Super shiokkkkkkk!
I don't think anyone has lie down there before, because I think it's a little dirty.... (as in the dusty dirt not the ghostly type LOL)
This must be Charles's artistic photo LOL. As you can see that's the stretch of pool in the middle separating the bedrooms and the living room part.
Once we touched down, and after 30 minute car ride we arrived our villa. Put our luggage down, enjoyed some freshly cut fruits (legit heaven!!) They even serve you orange juice every single day!! After we settled down, we head out for some lunch. It's some famous pork rib place that's located around the area. I'm not a foodie and therefore I don't have any photos of my food LOL. If you wish to see what we ordered, watch my vlog!
Yuan's black pepper pork rib is the best one out of 2 other sauces. Me and esme got sweet and spicy pork rib, it wasn't that bad but I still think yuan's one is better tasting. HAHAH
First group photo outside the restaurant with the pig status. IT WAS SCORCHING HOT. Everyone ran back to the car immediately we finished taking our group photo.
After lunch, we decided we need to get some groceries. So we asked the driver to bring us to a supermarket. However this Bali Deli we went was too small (if you wish to see how it looks like inside - everything is in my vlog HAHAHA), we ended up in careful that's at least as big as Giant at IMM. LOL I think it's way larger. Lai and ask decided to whip up a meal for all of us. Yes I am ashamed of myself because the guys in my clique can cook, and I think I'm the only girl who can't cook. SIGH PIE. I need a husband or boyfriend who can cook for me in the future.
It's not that idk how to cook, I think I'm capable of cooking but I'm just lazy and I haven't got to that point in life that I want to learn how to cook YET. HAHAHAHAH (My arms are hurting from all these typing already.)
If you're wondering how the scenery looks like in bali, here's a little peak of it. Green grass and really random cows on street. Motorbikes are their favourite public transport, and their traffic is really anyhow. LOL Of course they do obey rules like red and green light, but the way the driver drives the two way road (two lane only) is ..... really anyhow.
Had a really nice meal when we went back, thanks to the two chef. Because of the flight, everyone was dead beat. Too tired to even head out the first night. After dinner we just hang out in our room and chat while eating cup noodles LOL. I shared a mattress with yuan HAHAHA hilarious snap we took.
Day 2:
As you can see below, we had a scrumptious breakfast before we headed out. We had bacon and scramble eggs and two piece of bread. HAHAHA I only started digging the scramble eggs and bacon. I think it's just me that I don't like to mix my egg + bacon with bread. If I were to eat bread it would just be alone with milo. LOL It's just me la.
Everyone else was in their room while I took this selfie and I must announce it's on the comfy sofa bed beside the living room. In the afternoon it's perfect for selfie because the sunlight was so strong! LOL (taught well by yuki, when there's good lighting it's time for selfie)

This was taken before we headed out for a long long day at Seminyak Square and Kuta. I still remember we had a super funny nua session in the bedroom with most of the people. I must applaud sak, because he was the only guy that can do the aeroplane thing (baby thing) with me. I'm legit straight with his leg under my tummy and yet our hands weren't shaking. LOL Your arm days finally came to some good use. HAHAHAHA!! I wanted to try with dan, but when I look at him I immediately say maybe next time. AHAHHA Cause I think I'll just drop on him without being lifted up at all.
We finally headed out to Seminyak Square. I'm really impressed with the shops around this area. Minus off the shops like Starbucks and Accessorizes. Other than those shop that can be found internationally, the people there do have very good interior design. I could really compare it to SG's Haji Lane. But of course, when you're at Bali, you can only think of stuff that's cheap so we didn't buy anything much around Seminyak Square.
This is like their typical street view. It looks exactly like how Phuket looks like and maybe just a little bit more atas than Malaysia.
We didn't get to do massage because we were seriously window shopping too much. LOL The guys took advantage of the time and went for a full body massage. TMD, made us waited for quite some time before we all could head back to get change for Kuta and dinner.
I am making this a habit, wherever I go to I'll drink Starbucks. LOL. Because I've been to Phuket twice and I just had to buy Starbucks twice there due to the unbearable weather.
We tried taking OOTD, we did end up with some shots but the weather is just too hot for any OOTD feel. LOL I didn't even had much feel to take out my camera to vlog and when I'm back at home to view the footages I got so disappointed at myself because I knew I could film a bit more for editing. #badhabit
We went back villa, and as you can see some of them change out to their bikini for kuta. HAHAH We had our SGD$5 Buffet at Skygarden Bali Kuta. All I could remember was their awesome ambience, it was legit a sky garden. It's about 6 stories up the building and you can see the entire sky view from where you were eating at. Gorgeous!! The only food I remembered was their steak. I don't really eat steak because since young I was told I cannot have beef since I'm a buddhist. But neither am I a true buddhist so I still end up trying a tiny bit of their steak. HOLY COW (such appropriate)
IT WAS SO GOOD? I really didn't expect steak to taste like that. But I think it only tasted so yummy because it was grilled on legit grill and their sauces. Verrrrrrrrry yummy. That's one thing I'll never forget in bali.
After our dinner, we continued walking on the streets of Kuta and did quite a bit of shopping. When we're all done, we went back super late.. about 10/11 ish? Everyone got in the pool. HAHA Had a little fun in there then I head to shower. Cause I was seriously sleepy already. The others started their drinking session and I just lie on the bed half asleep watching them play. Basically the entire night I was sleeping alone on the king size bed LOL
Day 3:
Let's go to the Beach Each! Padang Padang beach for day 3 and of course scrumptious beach dinner at Jimbaran Bay. There was a nua morning in somebody's room, must be the guy's this time. HHAH I didn't even know, probably trying to get some wifi outside on the sofa bed.
LOLOL CHARLIE ANGELS?
THERE!! THAT LEGENDARY SOFA BED I WAS TALKING ABOUT. It's purple in color some more, hahahah. It's like the best spot in the entire place I swear. That 1.5 bottle I was holding is like my only source of water over there. Super difficult to get water, thank god they bought quite a bit of mineral water when we were at carefour.
LOL I don't even remember what we were laughing at.
In the car to the beachhhhhhh, me dan charlie and lai had some lame shit entertainment while the rest are sleeping. LOL It's too lame I even recorded it down in my vlog. Don't even know what we were doing. But I must blame my high chew candy, because only 4 of us ate I think.....
We've finally reached the padang padang beach area. THIS CORN IS SWEET AS HELL. It's damn good but I didn't get it cause I was eating the satay instead. This was our lunch LOL street snack. I didn't have any photo of the satay but it's in the vlog. Let me describe it. It looks like any normal satay but it's marinated with spicy (legit super spicy) sauce that I don't even know what it's made of. IT IS SO GOOD we even went back for 2nd round after we ended the beach activities. How I wish I took the recipe from the guy and sell it in Singapore. I think i'll earn big bucks from it. This is the second thing I'll ever remember from Bali apart from the steak. HAHAHAH
This is the staircase that I bet everyone will remember. So me, serene, esme and lai started walking down first. It was quite steep so I only focussed on the floor and didn't take note of the surrounding at all. LOL I was vlogging on my way down, and in the background Jav was "screaming" got monkey got monkey. BY THAT TIME, the yummiest corn serene and esme was holding was stolen by the monkey already. They literally jumped up to them and grab it off their hands. LOL I don't even know what I was doing, running away and screaming with them. HAHAH damn hilarious.
But I swear it's damn horrifying to see the monkey eyes staring at you while you're walking down to the beach. They literally will attack you any moment. Even your hats LOL WTF.
LOL, we literally threw him behind to walk the last cause I was really terrified to walk alone with the monkey. Well as you can see I think asme is way terrified than me.
THIS MONKEY IS NOT CUTE AT ALL.
This is the type of route you'll have to take to reach the Padang Padang Beach. There's offerings everywhere!! So afraid to step on any of those stuff and get into trouble. LOL
After all the stairs, we finally reached the beach. IT WAS GORGEOUS. Okay la over exaggerated. AHAH Not like I'm in boracay or something. It's just a foreign beach with clearer water and sand. Definitely x10 better than any beaches in Singapore.
I know it's forbidden to take back anything from the nature, but I still ended up bring a really tiny stone back as a memoir. From the photo above, you can see how beautiful nature is. The structure within the little holes are just amazing. (No I didn't take this home LOL)
I've managed to walk about the beach and even into the weirdest area with all those huge stones. Touched the water and sand... and sunbathed with yuan and serene for about 15 minutes only. HAHAH It was too hot I couldn't take it anymore so I went back to the shade. But I totally shouldn't have applied sunblock, I DIDN'T GET TANNER AT ALL. So sad.
The guys went to play in the water, and lai went for surfing lesson for the entire duration. Oh I remembered I was eating sak's half eaten maggie noodle because I was too hungry. HAHAH
Our initial plan was to leave the beach earlier at about 5pm? to head to the temple to catch the sun set. We were told that the temple provides the best location to see the sunset, (well PQ told me the temple is a must go too). SADLY WE WENT THERE A LITTLE TOO LATE. There were only color of the horizon left for us. The sun's long gone.
We faster took a group photo before we headed off for seafood dinner at Jimbaran Bay. LOL ANOTHER FUNNY STORY. I was standing beside serene on her left and Esme was on my left. I thought I was a dog coming through, so I still purposely made space for the "dog" to pass by. LOL FML IT WAS A MONKEY AGAIN. This time round serene got attacked again. The monkey jumped onto her feet and grabbed her slippers away. Within split second the slipper was torn and tear. I really couldn't believe my eye, I really thought it was a dog. LOL SIGHHHHHHHH
Sri Gangga Cafe at Jimbaran Bay.
THE AMBIENCE WAS .... I don't even know how to put it in words. I could really spam this place with the 2 heart eyed emoji. IT WAS UNBELIVABLY STUNNING. The sound of the waves, the lightning (there's really only candles to lit up the place), the dark nice sky with STARS. LEGIT STARS. Lol I was so upset when I realise I couldn't even see any stars in the villa we stayed in and the boys still wanted to argue with me that amount of stars they see is a lot. LOL Pissed out.
I swear we ended this trip with best place and dinner.
The food was good, the music that local "band" serenaded us was good and the company was even better. I'm so glad our trip to Bali was really made possible. *cries*
Day 4:
Since I'm a light sleeper, I went around and got everyone ready for our flight. Nothing much happened, we just checked in and waited for our flight. We had.. i think an hour to spare.
This time round I changed my seat with Esme. Hers was window seat!!!! And this time round we were at the wing!! I watched the entire took off from the tiny window beside me, HAHA I remember dan were getting all excited with me at the back too. But the annoying malaysian or singaporean aunty in front of my seat really don't understand the term of being considerate. TMD everyone's window shield was closed and only hers was open. THE SUN WAS SO WARM ON MY FACE AND LEGS. I couldn't even sleep all because of her. zzzz
That's about it. There's really a lot more to the trip but I don't think I remember every single thing already. Thank god for cameras AHHAA I am so glad we have taken a couple of photos and I managed to vlog the entire trip (thought half of the time I was really lazy to even take out my camera AND I REGRETTED)
Cheers to the next trip ~
