Hi all,

My name it's Muffin and I am 3 months old poodle girl. YES!! I am a POODLE. Dun you dare to have any doubts on my identity okay MaoMao Bear. This is a serious offense ya know! I can sue you so deadly, do you wish to speak to my attorney? And you know what? I think you should change your name instead, what do you think of WoofWoof Bear? :P tsk tsk tsk .... kidding okay.

Currently I'm staying with Loi's auntie, because Loi is not able to take care of me due to his crazy work. He'll pick me up during weekend and I'll stay over at his place. I really like running here & there in his garden. I follow whereverrr he goes, even he goes toilet shh-shh or erk-erk, and this really pissed him off. He likes to put me in my cage at night, but I insist to sleep on his bed with him. If he insists putting me back into that horrible cage, I will cry and scream as loud as I can. Then he kuai kuai lemme sleep on his bed.

Okay liao lah, it's time to go and disturb him liao. Gonna bite his ass for you guys yea.

Take Care

Loves,

Muffin-Da-Poodle

I went to North Bali on Day04, spent most of the time in car as the journey from one place to another was quite far. Made and I didn't really talk much in the car, so it was a little too quiet and I dozed off few times.

1. Gigit Twin Waterfall

Errh ......What so special about this waterfall? Well, it took me around 2 hours drive from Kuta to here loh and that's it! Veli de se-pa-ser nya....

2. Pura Ulu Danu Bratan

Okay this place cheered me up a lot after the se-pa-ser waterfall. This temple located by the western banks of Lake Bratan in Bedugul Highland at a level of 1239m, and the weather was very cooling around 23 ~ 24 Degree Celcius. This temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of the waters, and it was actually built on small islands, which means it's completely surrounded by the lake. Both pilgrimages and ceremonies are held here to ensure bountiful harvests.

3. Hot Spring

If you've lot of times and dunno where to go, please go ahead and pay a visit. Or else please go somewhere else. Basically nothing much about this Hot Spring, as it made me darn HOT whenever I think of it. It was very far and deep into a forest in the middle of nowhere. Most importantly the hot spring water was in GREEN color, exactly like water longkang. Okay partly due to my bad also, because I assumed that it'd be something like Aso Mountain Hot Spring. Bugger!

4. Mengwi's Pura Taman Ayun

Garden Temple in the Water, one of the six royal temples in Bali built in 1637. Yeah, temple AGAIN! This temple stands on an island in a river, and the inner temple is in addition surrounded by a moat.

5. Tanah Lot
This was the main highlight for Day04. I reached at Tanah Lot 4.45pm to avoid crowd, kiasu bah! I got lucky as it was cun cun about hide tide, so I was able to have a quick walked around the temple. There were many caves under the temple lived by "peaceful" sea snakes. Remember ya, please turn to your right at the main entrance, walk up to the staircase you will see row of hilltop cafes, choose the one at the far end! Order some beers or crackers, and enjoy the magnificent Tanah Lot Sunset! Simply Marvelous & Splendor

It's was a shopping day for Day05. Walked around Seminyak, Legian & Kuta to get some shirts, sandals & souvenirs for family & friends. Took some photos on the way back my hotel.

Home Sweet Home on Day06!

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. Total cost USD50 only.

Herbal Exfoliation Bath

. Aromatic Foot Bath

. Aroma Therapy Balinese Massage

. Javanese Lulur Body Scrub

. Yogurt Splash Skin Conditioning

. Flower Bath with Herbal

. Herbal Ginger Tea

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.
