Bali Day 2 : Batubulan-Celuk-Kintamani-Ubud-Goa Gajah-Mas-Kuta
|
|
Day 2 :
Batubulan - Barong Dance
Celuk - silver shop
Kintamani - Highland (Gunung Batur, Danau Batur)
Ubud - Tampaksiring temple and cheapest shopping area in Bali (my personal opinion)
Goa Gajah - temple
Mas - Arts and panting gallery
Kuta - beach
Wake up call kol 6.30am, tapi dah terang pon sebab sini sejam awal. Lepas breakfast nasi goreng yg tak berapa rasa (sini style masak sume tak pedas + tasteless skek), kol 8.30 naik bas and gerak ke Pekan Batubulan, nak tgk Barong Dance. Kalau pegi Bali, kalau sape2 yg minat cultural show ni rasanya wajib la pegi tgk either Barong Dance atau Kecak Dance. Cam kitorang yg ikot pakej ni mmg terpaksa pegi gak la.. Sampai sana, kalau nak amik gamba ngn awek Bali yg tercegat tu, nanti kene beli gamba tu lepas tgk show, so Ri cakap kalau tanak beli jgn amik gamba, nanti dorang akan carik.
Barong dance
Sebenarnya kitorang mmg tak paham satu ape pon plot dance ni, bahasa dia pon tak paham gak. Ada plot citer dorang bagi masa entrace, tapi malas nak baca. So enjoy tgk dance tu for the sake of the dance only, not to understand the plot.
Lepas abis tgk tarian, kitorang proceed ke Celuk, tempat jual silver yg besar gak. Silver dia bleh tahan mahal, harga beh kurang cam Mesia je. sini takde sape yg beli kot, tgk2 jek. Lepak dalam 30min, terus gerak ke Kintamani.
View of Gunung Batur from Kintamani
gambar kureng sharp sebab kawasan tu kabus bleh tahan gak.. tapi environment best jek.. ala2 cameron la sejuk2 gedik..
Lunch kat sini, sambung amik2 gamba, sini orang2 dia agresif skek, dorang jual barang siap ikot mane kitorang pegi. Janganla skali2 cakap "nanti dulu, nak tgk2 dulu", sebab bile cakap nanti dulu, nanti bile patah balik, dorang ungkit, "tadi bilang nanti dulu, skarang mesti beli" haha. Orang2 lain siap berlari nak lari dari dorang. Kesian pon ye gak, sebab dorang ni org susah kot, desperate for money, sampai sanggup turunkan harga barang giler2.. depada 100 000 pon bleh turun sampai 10 000rupiah.
Next, we all proceeded to Tampaksiring Temple, kat Ubud. Ada ceremony arini, so jalan jam skek, sebab kalau ada perayaan dorang suka wat parade. Ceremony arini, mandi penyucian, ada kolam kat temple tu so dorang beramai2 berkemban mandi. Tapi slamber la jenis tukar2 baju in public, heh.
Hindu ceremony
Acara diteruskan dgn shopping yg giler2 punya, sini make sure mintak discount sampai 80%. Kalau harga barang starting 70 000Rp, bleh dapat sampai 15 000rp. Macam mane pon dorang still akan jual sebab dorang mmg nak duit. Sume orang shopping sakan especially pompan.. sume jenis barang2 kraf ala2 bali ada. Kalau tak minat Bali style decor mmg rugi la.. Yang dorang ni tak kira minat ke tak minat.. beli jek sebab murah.. takat satu beg bleh dapat dalam rm2 sapa tanak.. balik kasi je souvenir ke wat bisnes ke.. eheheh
Dah penat shopping, singgah makan malan kat Matrabu Rest, masakan padang, setup tempat dia grand jugak, lepas makan pecah 2 group, satu group nak pegi spa naik satu bas, yg lain terus balik hotel. Kitorang balik hotel, pastu jalan kaki dalam 15minit pegi Kuta Beach lepak2. Dari jauh nampak bungee jump tower tu, tinggi.. Sambil jalan balik sempat layan live band Indon kat tepi pantai hehe..

Welcome to Bali: Day 1 - (Udayana-Uluwatu-Jimbaran)
|
|
Holiday destination : Bali
Duration of stay : 5 days (23rd - 27th Nov 2007)
Group : Bai's company trip
Hotel : Legian Paradiso Hotel, Legian, Kuta
Tour Guide : Riasa (Ri)
Time zone difference : 1 hour difference
First time dapat pegi holiday kat Bali, selama ni dgr2 jek orang2 dok cakap best.. memang best pon, tempat cantik, pantai superb, byk ancient temple yg bleh visit, tempat shopping byk giler & murah, view gunung berapi dan danau yg marvelous, food ada utk muslim and non-muslim, sape yg suka pegi enjoy2 clubbing pon bleh datang sini sebab byk club ngn bistro, water sports activity pon ada, bungee jumping ada..
Kitorang sampai Bandar Udara Ngurah Rai (Airport) pukul 1pm, ada 4 bas dah tunggu nak pikap, dekat 100 orang pegi mane tak nye, macam rombongan cik kiah pon ada.. terus proceed ke restoran makan tengahari, makanan sume halal sebab ada muslim and singh yg purely vegetarian. Luggage sume dah transport ke hotel. Lepas makan dalam kol 3, gerak ke Uluwatu temple. On the way, lalu Udayana Universitas, uni paling besar kat sini. Lepas dari uni, lalu kat Dreamland beach entrance area.
Uluwatu Temple - temple by the beach
Temple ni cantik, sebab sebelah tebing, Ri cakap ada gak orang mati terjatuh, bunuh diri pon ada. Lagi satu monyet2 kat sini ganas skek, bende2 yg bergantung cam spek, subang yg panjang2 pon kene rembat, siap Ri dah warning tapi ada gak sorang mamat ni punya spek kene tarik, sampai patah2 dibuatnye. Lepak kat sini dalam sejam lebih, mmg best kalau sape yg suka explore and enjoy view. Aku ngn Bai round abis area temple tu, byk sangat spot cantik utk amik gamba.. snap tak agak², tapi mmg dah standby battery spare pon.
Lepas dah penat round temple, kitorang gerak ke Jimbaran beach,port sunset cun sambil dinner kat situ. Memang pantai kat Bali ni lagi ramai orang surfing depada mandi². Lepak² tunggu sunset sambil usha orang surfing, pastu dinner atas pantai siap candlelight, ala2 romentik gitu, sesuai la sape yg g honeymoon. Dinner seafood la apelagi, tapi kene pandai carik kedai, ada yg sedap, ada yg biasa jek.
Jimbaran beach - surfing is a popular sport in Bali
Lepas makan, lepak2 jap then terus balik hotel. Kitorang balik hotel simpan beg pastu terus keluar balik jalan2 kat Legian. Byk gerai tepi2 jalan yg murah², tapi rupanya tempat lain ada lagi murah. Sempat beli baju orang kirim, ngn beg skek..mmg lagi murah dari KL, kalau tshirt Polo kat KL dalam 300, sini bleh dapat dalam 100+. Sini bleh bargain up to 50% jek..sebab tourist spot, susah skek nak murah lagi. On the way lalu kat tempat yg kene bomb tu. Dah takde club pon kat situ, tinggal tanah jek, pastu ada la muka2 mangsa2 bomb, mostly Aussies. Club melambak giler kiri kanan, strip club pon ada, hehe. Dah penat jalan² balik hotel la tido, esok wake up call kol 6.30am

Buka Puasa @ rumah Botak, Sabak Bernam
|
|
30 September 2007, kitorang berempat (myself, Bai, Padil, Eppott), merajinkan diri ke Sabak Bernam, saje nak lepak2 bukak posa umah botak ngn baby. Kitorang singgah dulu ke rumah botak, pastu botak bawak kitorang ke anak yatim Sekendi, Sabak Bernam,sebab nak tolong sampaikan amanah kawan2 dan keluarga yang menderma.Byk jugak yg menderma, terima kasih semua, semoga Allah memberkati usaha korang.
Lepas tu kitorang balik umah Botak, rehat2 jap, Baby sempat lagi tido ngn Eppot, pastu dalam kol 4 kitorang gerak ke B.N.O. "BNO tu ape Tak?" aku tanya Botak. "Bagan Nakhoda Omar daaa".. wo0o0 hehehe canggih siap ada initial. Botak ajar kitorang camne nak carik remis. Remis tu macam kupang tapi lagi kecik. Syok gak utk first timer cam kitorang, Botak mmg la buat muka boring dia dah biasa.
Dalam kol 5, kitorang gerak antar Botak ngn Baby balik umah sebab dorang nak masak, yahoo.. kitorang sambung jalan2 pasar ramadhan ngn carik port nak amik gamba. Pasar ramadhan Sabak Bernam mmg best, makanan dia nampak macam org masak utk makan, bukan masak utk bisnes, cam kat KL, sume nampak tasteless..Beli air mangga madu pure (yummy), cucur udang (botak pesan beli yg dorang tgh goreng), pastu beli sikit2 kuih. Dah abih round, kitorang carik port sawah padi nak capture gambar, tapi malangnya skang bukan musim menuai,,  dah tu bosan singgah la pusat pemerhatian burung kat mane tah, tak jumpa pon burungnya, tapi ramai orang mancing kat situ..
Balik umah Botak, mandi2, ngam2 time bukak posa, yahoo.. makanan paling lazat kat sabak bernam, menu : udang gertak goreng, kerang rebus, remis masak sup, ikan bakar, tempe, siput sedut manis.. nyam nyam air mangga madu ngn longan + kelapa laut.. nasi mmg tak laku, sume sebok ratah lauk jek.. makan sampai maksimum, siap break smayang maghrib dulu pastu sambung balik 
Lepas makan sume dah ngantok, terbaring kat living room mata dah kuyu, siap lat ta li lat sape nak drive balik sume berebut tanak.. haha padil kene drive.. nite dil, kitorang tido dulu, dah sampai kejut

CTS Away Day - Hyatt Regency Kuantan
|
|
Our department organized a team building / leisure session at Kuantan recently. About 200+ people in 6 buses convoyed from Cyberjaya to Kuantan, and Shell, known for its strict HSSE issue, only allowed the buses to go at 80km/h.. So the journey took us about 5-6 hours using the new highway 
The place was quite cool, not close to Cherating, but the beach was good enough and almost private. The hotel was marvellous, with nice rooms and facilities and food was great as well.
We had a few lite and easy team building sessions.. and more leisure activities and time for ourselves. More like rest and relax before we head back to office to again face the reality of the hectic operations everyday.A good weekend to mingle for the singles. As for me, just used the time to relax and capture some moments with my new 'toy'. No sunrise at all as it was drizzling in the morning, nevertheless, the dissapointment was quickly covered up with a Yoga session, which I enjoyed the most!

Penang Quickee..
|
|
A short 24 hour trip to penang, while bai was doing work, I decided to roam around penang from the mainland to the island.. he dropped me near the mall at Seberang Perai. It was 11am and the mall was still closed. Not much activity yet, slow start for them I guess. Grabbed some breakfast at McDonalds(the only open shop at 11am), then I waited until the mall fully opened nearly an hour later and wandered around. Bought a cool sweater from traveller's shop and got some info from the salesgirl on how I can get to the Island by ferry.
Nothing much to window-shop, I started to walk to the bus stop and waited for the bus. Board the bus and 15 mins later I was at the jetty. Paid the fare (rm1.20 only) and waited with no queue at all. The journey took about 15 mins to reach the island.
Upon reaching the island, I was contemplating on whether to take the bus or taxi to Komtar/ Bukit Jambul, taxi drivers were promoting themselves well to me. But at last I decided to walk to the mall to save some cash as these cab drivers could really fork up your money if they know u're not local. I could see the building from the jetty, but could not estimate how long I needed to reach there on foot. So I started bashing based on the landmark and finally reached the mall about half an hour later. Not bad, I'll prolly reach there in 30mins anyway with cab due to heavy traffic at the moment.
Grabbed some lunch at secret recipe.. nyam nyam.. then started shopping. Not really a favourite activity of mine, but I needed to kill some time while waiting for Bai to come back from work. Bought myself a few things and continue to window shop. The camera is starting to get heavy on my shoulders, maybe I shud haf bought the Lowepro backpack instead of this sling one. Bai picked me up about 4pm and we headed off to Ferringhi beach.
We lepak at the beach until sunset to capture some photos and then headed to Gurney Drive for dinner. After dinner, we went to the airport to check myself in, then picked up Pesa at Bayan Baru, lepak near Queensbay mall for a while then headed back to the airport and went back to KL. Alone. Bai still had to stay back for another day. Maybe next time we'll head off to one of the islands or hike up Penang Hill or try the Mee Udang at Sg Dua.. next time..

Close encounter with a .... peacock??
|
|
26th August 2007
On the way to Bukit Tabur for a hike with my husband and Chih Seng last 2 weeks, we came across this beautiful bird somewhere near an ex-minister's house in Taman Melawati.
started spreading its feathers
is this an act of arrogance...
or is he just being defensive??
