HIATUS

Back from Bali :) My days there were just splendid..Been shopping like crazy and I'm really tanned now, like a Malay as what my brother said :S Whatever.

Anyway, here's the update for the trip. The hotel's name is White Rose Hotel, but I don't see a single white rose in the hotel compound. Hmmm. Its located in Kuta, right behind the bombing monument. Roxy and Billabong were located right outside our hotel, a shopping heaven indeed. Here's some pics from the trip :) Enjoy!

The Reception

Day I:

Didn't do much as we arrived the hotel around evening. Hence the lack of pics..busy exploring out the place as we're really really hungry.

Dinner@a place with free billiard game every night, but the food was okay only.

Day II:

Went to the beach early in the morning for sunbathing. hehe. Those people on the beach were such spoiler. The moment we laid our feet on the beach, they're coming like in a crowd - A BIG CROWD, that is. When we don't wanna buy, they'll be like:-

Lady #1:"I give you cheap price, good massage, cheap price, okay?"
Me:"Errr..don't want. It's okay!"
Lady#1:"Where you come from?"
Me:"Malaysia.."
Lady #1:"What's your name?"
Me:"Kristin." *that's the name I used when I don't want ppl to know my name*
Lady#1:"Hi, my name is Lady #1, nice to meet you. Look for me if you want good massage later, okay?
Me:"Ya ya, later later." *fake smile*

Lady#2:"Manicure? Very nice..cheap price!"
Ray:"No no, it's okay, don't need."
Lady#2:"You from Malaysia?"
Ray:"Yes.."
Lady#2:"What's your name?"
Ray:"Alicia." *obviously she's faking it!*
Lady#2:"Hi, my name is Lady #2 *pointing on her hat* Look for my blue hat later, okay?"
Ray:"See you..later later."

Kuta Beach. Perfect.

Shop, shop, shop!!

We headed back to hotel around 12 plus as we have a tour around the Southern part of Bali later. Can't restrain ourselves from checking out the stuffs on the way back. They all looks so nice, talking about shopaholics. tsk tsk tsk. During the tour, we visited the Cliff Temple. Even though we can't enter the temple, we still need to wear a sarong as we were wore skirts. BUT, outside the temple, a bunch of locals insisted to take pics with us. I do not know why, maybe they thought we are some celebrities?! :S

Babi Guling, my lunch

Day III:

We started our day with the same breakfast, honestly, quite jilak. haha. Anyway, our first stop was to watch the Barong Dance. It's a dance where there's good and bad spirit, as usual, they fought. Of course, the good one will win. It was not bad, at least I was entertained. Then we went to the Monkey Temple (as if I've not seen enough monkeys the day before), Ubud (Wood carving market), Mas (Gold & Silver market).

While we were shopping in Ubud, it rains heavily in a sudden. Guess what, we were wet and it's flooding everywhere :S So potong steam.

Starting of the Barong Dance - the tiger

Friend of the tiger, y'all know what animal it is?

In Ubud, these wood carvings are really cool

Dede, this is for you :)

For yours truly. Nice, isn't it? hoho

Camwhore abit with the ring

My dinner - delicious Nachos (with extra cheese), beef burger, Bintang, Starbucks and Lays for supper. What else can you ask for?

Day IV:

Did nothing much..went to the beach and shop AGAIN. Not a very nice day though. Firstly, Ray's bag was broken, she thinks coz those sales-ladies cursed her for bargaining wayyyyyy too much. HAHA. Secondly, at the beach, again, shite loads of ppl came over. We learn our lesson by then, just ignore them and they'll go away eventually. Unfortunately, they did not learn theirs yet:-
Lady#3:"You want massage? Cheap massage..very good!"
Us:"...."
Lady#3:"Hey, where you from? Japan?"
Us:"...."
Lady#3:"Hey, talk to me. Why you don't talk to me?Are you dumb?"
Me:"I ain't dumb, baka!"

Thirdly, there was this one lady shouted "f**k you" at us, because we decided not to buy her stuffs. Kanasai. We were just being good and decided to walk off. But now, I felt the anger coming back again..So, anyone going to Bali soon? Call me..I'll tell you where's that blardy shop and shout back "fuck you 2" at her for me. Thank you very much.

Damn kanasai one lor these ppl, why do they use vulgar words when they can't sell their stuffs?! We're giving them business, not vice versa! Don't they use their brain to think of ways to sell their products in a better approach? Kanasai.

Anyway, that pretty much wrapped up my trip. Bora-Bora island is my next destination. So effing nice!
