- 20 Oct -

first 4 days at kuta, ubud, seminyak and kintamani

aladdin picked us up at 8am. being the 'nenek' i am, we only got into the cab at 8.20am.

at the airport, we checked in our bags, bought newspapers and off for a McD's brekkie.

ok, pictures time.

 

: things you can do with a pen and the barf bag on the plane :

 

 

 

he was seriously ignoring me!!! let me tell you this - he was reading Honour Among Thieves by Jeffrey Archer for the 3rd time, after having never finished it successfully for the 1st and 2nd time. so me without a book, had to resort to self-entertainment.

i drew quite a lot of crap on My Barfbag (1st pic), Mr Tay's Barfbag (2nd pic) and a whole lot more of nonsense on Stolen Barfbag from Mr Tay's Left Neighbour. barfbag was stolen while he was sleeping, and got a smack on the hand by mr tay who went, 'oi, stop stealing other ppl's barfbags! what if he wants to puke???'

nah, he didn't look like someone who would puke on airplanes anyway.

ANYWAYS

we rented a scooter for 30,000 rupiah per day for 5 days. that was like, only RM 12 per day. the first time we were at bali, we rented an avanza but that was shared amongst 5 ppl so that was totally worth it. this time around with just the 2 of us, this scooter was perfect.

would be even more perfect if it was pink.

mr tay said, 'they don't have pink.'

bollocks. tons of mat salleh ladies were riding on pink scooters on the streets of bali!

so we got a yellow one. which was fine actually coz i like bright colors.

 

 

first stop: a place to feed them hungry tummies. went to this bar restaurant and,
helloooo bintang! it's been awhile!

beer has never tasted THIS gooooood

bintang beer - our staple h20 whenever we are at bali

my nasi goreng bali
if you notice in most bali menus, they serve their nasi goreng with crackers and satay babi (often with just 2 sticks)

 

my boyfriend's soto ayam

 

 

 

 

entrance to our hotel
booked 3 nights here as we extended our stay

 

 

 

dinner was at lovely ku de ta.
i loved ku de ta for its classiness, lightings and the option to sip your wine overlooking the beach.

photo is borrowed from the kudeta website here *click*

prices are a little steep though, but trust me, the view and ambience is totally worth it. with 2 main courses and 1 bottle of wine, our bill came up to 850,000++ rupiah, which was about RM340+. so ya, be prepared to pay the extra at ku de ta.

we had to come back to ku de ta, because it was THAT beautiful. our canon ixus just wouldn't do justice to it, as night shots are crappy so, if you want to see more images from ku de ta, pls visit the website.

in 2005, the group was at ku de ta :)
