Bali Finale

I know, I can't tahan liao la. Looking at my limited pics lol. I decided to up everything on one go now lol. I think got 16 pictuers. Alright let's get Bali frenzy.

After the rather okay dolphin watch, we got back to the resort and think... hmm, what should we do? And say, why don't we make it to the town and beach in KUTA. Takan come here never go there right? OK let's go. SO there you go another 3 and a half hour of van ride to the city. (not to mention another 3 1/2 back and also 3 1/2 the next morning to the airport)


Again we see some same same scenery along the way. Yeah... you get me...

Ok we got a little tour and we stopped by UBUD 1st (it's where all the art stuff are... esp wood carving stuff, sorry no pic. I know i was....)

Ok I got this picture while walking


Nice rite?


This makes me laugh Haha. I know I know I shouldn't laugh at them. But really good service. In Malaysia don't have this


We make our final stop here in UBUD market, To be honest, It is just like Terengganu market or a outdoor version of Central Market = nothing special. Move along

After that we ate some very nice meesedap by the road side and head towards Kuta, I love Kuta, We stop by some shopping mall call sunrise I think because that was part of the package. Haha. It looks like Fajar la. But I got some very cool shirts from there which you see me always wear.

Anyhow, evening come and we hit the beach


This is the 2nd most popular beach in Bali... No strong waves here but a lot family here came here to chill and play whatever like this


My most treassured shot. I think this shot speaks 1000 words.


Hmm you know pictures like this turns out to be very lomo-like Haha


This is one of my 'failed' projects. You know I wanted to plant "GRYP" everywhere? Actually I never did start this before. But let's see how many of you want to do this project. very simple, wear a gryp shirt and hold something in your hand... haha ok moving along


We then move towards Kuta which is the other side of the island, but not too far. There's is only a few rows of shops which all sells expensive surf stuff. This is one rich town honestly.


Because it is geared towards tourism, the place bloooms like mad. It is a total contrast of erm the village.


The beach! Ok. Mood drop liao. got like 100000 people on the beach. Really sien lor to play or what. But yea the surf's up so everyone's surfing. Local boys here renting out stuff knows how to speak well especially japanese becuase there are plenty of japs around.


I loiter around until the sun's going down and quickly snap some photos while dad was out somewhere swimming in the ocean. I got no mood for that because of the crowd.

The next day we just headed home. Yes thanks to Air Asia now everyone can go holiday at ease.
And thus end my journey to Bali. Next would be Sydney!!! Lol. banyak tahun delayed ni...

Bali Dolphins

Ah finally got some engine going. Lol Superbusy at work due to pile ups. Anyway, We've finally come to our highlight of the trip (sort of)

Despite my complains that we were super duper far off from the main city, Good news is, there is some attraction here that is seeing wild dolphins... Now I have not seen a tame dolphin so it is still pretty excited thing to do right?

Wrong! We have to wake up like 5a.m. (If you live in the city, you have to depart by cab by 2a.m.) Nice? you bet. And like so coincidentally right, our boat motor have some problem like what? There's like 15 boats or more like from different resort la all left! GOSH! we had on off problems and it wasn't until 15 minutes later we caught on. And the location of the dolphins were like at least 1KM away T.T By that time it is already consider LATE and dolphins are you know going back to the deep already (They comes out in the morning to feed on fishes)

Anyhow, we still manage to see some dolphins, Though they say if we were earlier, there are more in group hunt. And its not like the dolphins do show for you lor. They too busy eating so we have to chase here chase there one lor and so hard to catch. Anyway, here's what they look like


We saw this all the time Yeah that's the tail


This one at least better still... lol got 2 dolphins


This one best can! Haha I love this shot, looks like some kind of whale... Hmm yea lor

I took lots more dolphin but all looks the same... So if you expected some cute dolphin face sorry lor... and if you expected some mid-air jumping dolphin also sorry lor they dun hiu you one. And after that we paid the boatman some more tips and he brought us to see coral fish. Walao. All dead corals. lol


I don't know how he sleep lor. The boat is seriously slim. We sit in then cannot move di. Much like kayak I suppose but really if you lost balance then you get a good dip! lol


Oh ya just to clarify, The resort I live in is not in the paddy field but it is beside the beach. And yes the whole of Bali the beach looks like the one in the photo!! (except Kuta and Sanur beach) MY GOSH. How to enjoy -.- Beside the dolphin trip, I never did walk the beach because it is full of salesmen! -.- Like beli in beli ini murah.... and all trying to snatch business. If you buy from one you got to buy from all AHHHH crap.

Anyway, that's our boat there at the right. Its call.... Dolphin Dreaming. Hmm...


Then I took the opp to shoot some self portrait in our beautiful resort but not nice also lol. What to do this is Film SLR mar hahaha.


This is an Island that loves flowers. Everywhere is flower... more so, flower art, They make good flower art. I say they have sense of art esp colours. It is so nice. (Btw, the flowers are floating above the water) They change design everyday. Man! Such Passion lol


I then notice a nice chopper bike and hop on it and snap a pic of it. LOL.

Oh, we're going to the town next. Yeah a 3 1/2 hour drive to town and come back here for the night. Actually by now, we're used to it already LoL.

Bali cont

Ah so this time the pictures are clearer because I shot it with my alpha instead of scanning it. HAHA weird I know... Anyway this is continuation of day 1. I am sorry there aren't many pic esp this one because I did not intend to blog about it before.

Anyway it must be amazing to recall back what where when I did 2 years ago. I do have good memory LOL. Anyway remember my lake on episode 1? It's call Berdugul lake (I googled) And we took a boat ride around the lake which they say takes 12 minutes for a circumference wor (big rite?)

Here is a resort I don't quite remember the name, but funny thing I took a lot of shot but it didn't turn up hmm. Anyway its a very nice resort 5 star if I not mistaken. In the opposite of the lake. At least 5 minutes to get there by boat.

Walao, the boatmen very keng lor carry polaroid around and ask us if we want to take photo with the resort or not if want he take (I am sure he will charge high for the polaroid) I said dowan lor. Not like I stay in that resort right? somemore we children so old liao take this kind photo also weird weird.

I think he got angry after that (no have extra money) and decided to not go the full circumference of the lake. WAH like that also can. But we didn't say anything lor after he throw us down lagi cham. So visit this lake if you're there... its really huge and beautiful..


We then visited a lot of places all high high, but I don't know for what. But this is the Paddy field that you'll see every 5 minutes. This is one of the better ones I shot. Really alot one ler. No kid you. Well, you won't find people telling you about paddy field in Bali. LOL


We stop by a town right after that and see if we can buy anything. The town is so small that this is almost half the town already. Small right? HAHA


Yea it is imprinted there Deluxe Western Toilets (now you can imagine, what a non deluxe western toilet is) If you can see on the black board it is 5000 rupiahs! that is close to RM2 like the KLCC one. WALAOwei. no need so expensive can. Somemore write there so big. Now I did not enter that toilet because

1) my parents would have kill me
2) i couldn't justify that since I have not entered the Rm2 in KLCC also.


Our last destination is the Air Panas Banjar. This is erm hotspring, but everyone treat it as their public bath. -.- We did went in anyway. And it is really warm. I love warm.


This pic turned out to be not too nice. But yea that's my family and a stranger. Actually in my previous previous bali post, I wrote about him, he is a farmer though only 20+ He did not have money to study after high school..

And thus ended my day 1. We had erm hotel food again I think. That's all for my day. It took one whole day to go through all these (you can inmagine how the travel is like. Hilly, Lakey, etc and still no beach in Bali... next up ->>>> The dolphins!

Bali Part+1

Alright, I shall reblog this with my super old pics taken on film. Sigh. no good scanner so yea this is the best I could go hehe

Alright I did blog about Bali before which you can see from here >>> click <<< Just refer la. For now I'll just blog the 1st half of the 1st day because I am lazy now lol

Now, I did mention that my mom booked the wrong hotel and we're totally stranded in some kind of resort somewhere far from the airport (3 hours drive) and the famous KUTA beach So we got there (resort) pretty late like 11pm like that and pretty much ate something somewhere (can't remember) then went to bed in the resort. I wasn't felling well during the whole trip.

But the next morning we book a tour from the Hotel and roam around Bali's inland like famous places that normal people won't go... haha


So this is actually what it looks like inland, paddy paddy paddy, really a lot of them lor. They must have love rice a lot


1st stop for our tour is the waterfall. yea we have to hike inward like any other waterfall. But the sight is absolutely amazing. The waterfall is HUGE. I mean seriously tall. You just got to wait for that...


Along the way you see shops selling you stuff. ALOT shops lor. And they like you bargain with them.... opening sales = good luck so go in the morning, expect you to get good cheap stuff while kena bombared.


Tada I love this shot very much... So natural la them


I then tried on their hat and that's when I got the taste of their persuading power. Now if you plan to travel to Bali, NEVER EVER GO NEAR the shops even to look unless you plan to purchase something. Else they'll stick to you like the moon stick to the earth.


More Paddys.

And behold... after a long long walk...


Sorry didn't put on a shirt because it was like raining from the place where I stand. The waterfall is really seriously huge and tall. I dare not go any closer because the power of the water was really powerful plus it is so cold and my whole body got wet by taking that pic. But then I look good right?

Our next destination after some driving was some kind of lake. I am not sure what lake is this, maybe I can google it and post it the next one


Yea It has a nice garden and a pura there.

That's it for now. I have no time to scan the pix la T.T Peace out


That's my mom (she insist that I take picture of her showing peace)

And so this is tobecontinued in the next post
