Made called around 7:30am and told me he couldn't make it for today trip, and he would like to postpone to next day. The weather was superawesomefine (Ehon's word) and very windy, it's really wasted if I just stayed in the hotel doing nothing. So I took my laptop and sat at poolside, kept the music pumping, and started to look for interesting places to go. Then I dozed off without even myself knowing it and this was the moment where I felt superb peach in mind & carefree! I woke up around 10am and I saw this leaflet where I got it from airport, and this caught my eyes at once "Half Day Tour - Uluwatu Kecak & Spa Body Treatment" 1st pamper yourself with 2 hours SPA + body treatment then heading to Uluwatu Hindu Temple located on the cliff of Southern Bali Island, enjoy the romantic breathtaking sunset and Kecak dance, lastly dinner at Jimbaran Bay with seafood BBQ.

Spa treatment started at 3:00pm, I felt really kin teo as this was my 1st time u know! The masseur passed me a disposable underwear & asked me to change it as she'll be back into the room when I am ready. Shit, the disposable underwear was a little bit too tight and it was so silky thin, wear equal no wear, wu ka na boh. So I decided to wear the sarong, and I felt instantly secure. I really like the body scrub and conditioning as the sea salt released thermal heat when the masseur rubbed it over my back. Whereas yogurt splash was very cooling and I was shocked when she applied on my body. Overall the whole process was very soothing and I fell asleep half way. The neat thing about pampering oneself is it can take the form of just about anything you like and I am pretty sure that you gonna like this Spa package and you will definitely RIP after this treatment.

Uluwatu Breathtaking Sunset + Kecak Dance

Beware of the aggressive monkeys around, hide you sunglasses & camera. This temple is inhabited by large number of monkeys, who are EXTREMELY adept at snatching tourist's belonging, including bags, cameras and sunglasses. Here's the tips, if you do have something taken, the monkeys can usually be induced to exchange it for some fruit; though, rewarding the monkeys like this only encourages them to steal more!

Kecak Dance it's a Bali traditional dance with group of people playing this dance with fire game. This group of people singing without instrument accompaniment like A-Capella, and all through the show you could only hear they kecak kecak there, and kecak kecak here, that's why it's called Kecak Dance.

Sunset viewing at Uluwatu is a MUST-DO in Bali. I won't elaborate more on this, as pictures speak louder than words.

BBQ Dinner @ Jimbaran
Jimbaran Beach is a beautiful beach located in Southern Bali with white sand unfolding along the coastal. Plenty of cafes offer delicious seafood dinner with great view of Indian Ocean. Dinner is served right on the beach with beautiful table setup, opposite to the ocean, and enjoying the romantic quartet performance.

Greeted Bali with a morning walk along Kuta Beach, the weather was a little cloudy and very windy. Tide was out, the beach seems to stretch forever and I was so tempted to walk for kilometers north or south, dunno la, maybe east or west also because I got no sense of direction. Lemme think again arr......okay should be north or south then :P

Everybody knows that Kuta Beach it's famous for it's superduperawesome breathtaking scenic beauty SUNSET, but why is that no one knows that Kuta Beach also have an amazing bravura magnificent splendid SUNRISE as well? Okay, the reason it's rather simple, because all are party animals and cannot get up in the morning!

I took my breakfast at my hotel's i-Balcony restaurant, I really really really like the American Breakfast and Balinese Coffee! But only for the 1st day lah, because it kept repeating the same breakfast menu for the next 5 days in the row. :(

My driver+tour guide reached at my hotel at least 20 seconds earlier than I expected, and I was baking black forest when he knocked on my door. BTW his name is Made, very patient and friendly person. Patient as in he drove his car safely along the way and friendly mmmh ...he talked a little too much in the car and I couldn't really focus on my soul searching. I passed him a paper where I listed down all the places I wanted to go, in sequence, and I requested him that I would be more more more happier if he could just follow the sequence I arranged. He looked at the paper and I saw his eyes bulging a little. He smiled at me and asked politely if he could do a little bit of adjustment on the sequence of those places I would like to go. Without waiting for my answer he continued again, ini tempat kat Utara, ini kat Timur, lepas itu balik lagi Utara, dan pergi Barat, and he laughed out loud. Okay Made you won! So my 2nd day trip kicked off with:

1) Buddha Statues on the road side
Basically nothing really special, it's just a statue anyway. But I couldn't stop myself from firing the shutter. Well, the photos turned out good though and I really like it.

2) Balinese Traditional House

The house is a collection of huts and house temple, within a private courtyard and it was still inhabited by the locals. Live chickens and ducks running around and a pigsty behind the house.

3) Monkey Forest

Visit early in the day to avoid the crowds. Plenty of paths for walking in the cool shade of the canopy and there were several temples and sacred spring. Take some time and explore the forest thoroughly else you will miss things!

4) Pura Goa Gajah

My 1st impression was plenty of stairs to climb, tiring! Some more it started to rain heavily when I reached here. Darn! I was completely drenched and cold! The cave (Goa) itself is a very important archaeological site, as it holds the remains of an ancient Buddhist monument. 1st thing I saw was the Spring water area that comes out from 7 statues, very magnificent view!

5) Ubud

Babi Guling!!! Must tryyyyyy very nice & cheap!! Too bad I didn't get to try the Dirty Duck though. :( Darn! It was still raining non-stop, and I was shivering like mad while having this yummy crispy ooch-ooch :P

6) Titra Empul Tampaksiring

Titra Empul means the gathering of holy water. This holy spring founded in 962AD and restored in 1960s. The springs are believed to have magical cleansing power and there are public baths in the complex.

Due to bad weather, and I was soaking wet. Made suggested to go back hotel early around 4pm or else I might get sick. No point to take this risk. So I agreed with him and I reached my hotel around 5pm.

Well, I am an amateur backpacker, got lost in sinking city with a clear map in hands, stuck in keukenhof looking way out for hours, stopped at the wrong station on the way to praha, and missed my train and flight to schiphol. All these excursions brought me lot of funs and not forgetting a green poop hell out of my pant.

It was bloody jammed all along the way, we didn’t talk much in the car, he was pissed and kept complaining the heavy traffic. I almost screamed out loud few times when he overtook cars and motorbikes. I had the feeling as though I was riding on roller coaster, and almost hit the point of no return, ORGASMIC. Luckily I’ve bought my travel insurance. Worst scenario, I can pay the cremation and transportation fees myself. Oh Mi To Fu.

I wasn’t paying much attention as I kept wandering in the car. All the sudden I was in the very dark and quiet alley with houses scattered around. My heart sank and I was in catastrophically paranoid state. Was he going to rape my virgin a** and kill me? Oh come on, I want die as virgin! Should I shout and jump out from the car? Suddenly I saw a ray of light at the end of the road (or path). I told myself, this is IT! BE IT! Must be the light from God that leads me, I kept looking at the white light as it grew brighter, follow the light and just follow the light...

and I saw this…

and this...

and finally this...

Oh yeah baby! Bali, here I am!

Darn! Wet pant!

I am real paranoid!

The whole trip was unplan. Decided out of sudden, bought the ticket immediately, and thanks HangSum Cal81 for giving me lot of informations about Bali. In fact just went to Phuket on April with bradas and bunch of friends, the trip was well planned and we had lot of funs. But this time I just knew that I wanted something adventurous, unplan and just me.

Again, I bought my favorite book Lonely planet Bali last minute, and only started to read on the airplane. My flight took off 5:30pm and I reached Bali around 8:30pm. Stayed at UN's Hotel at Kuta area, cozy 2 star hotel with friendly staffs and good location. All rooms gracefully furnished with antiques, and I like the insecure antique door the most.

My door lock?? I am serious!!

Toured around Kuta nightlife right after I unpacked my stuffs. Realized that the hardest part about getting around Kuta area was the TRAFFIC. It was so terrible especially night time at vital street like Jl Pantai Kuta or Jl Legian. So one of the nicest ways to get around Kuta and Legian is by foot along the beach. Though I encountered few annoyances as I walked along the beach, kept hearing people shouted at me "massage" followed by "young girl" and those souvenir sellers or masseuses that grabbed hold of me and not let go.

On the way back to hotel something caught my eyes!

OMG Mr. Toilet really Fah-Mes!!!

Phuket - Simon Cabaret Show

Bali - Simon Boutique Shop

Don't play play!

Reached my room around 1:00am, darn tired.
