Gwe Kangen Ama Bali 17-21 April

The last day of my virgin trip to Bali. I’ve learnt so much about this place and it’s very similar to Bangkok, definitely will be an annual destination for me. We left our luggage at the lobby while we had lunch and continue to shop before we leave for Ngurah Rai airport bound for home. Fiq got a bike to ride around Kuta, that’s the beauty of Bali, there seems to be no STRICT rules, I mean how many of these foreigners actually have a licence to ride??

Why do I adore Bali, let me count the ways..

The lovely beaches

The laidback street rules, Fiq; helmet lawa!!

The touristy feeling (guess who’s 24 and who’s 30….)

The luxurious dining area

View from our dining area

The huge waves

Kuta Beach

The sexy bule (caucasians)

The artistic architecture

The abundance of attractions

The shopping paradise

The zen, chakras, yin and yang

The culture

Bonding with ol friends (Nur and her FURLA)
And making new ones (sorry Fiq, the other pic ur eyes were half closed)

Gwe kalu bisa mau aja gwe liburan ke Bali lagi. Ama teman2 yg keren banget, makaseh ya. Gwe butuh loe semua!!

Kuta – ku 17April-18April

I had the short feel of travelling alone, all by myself for a few hours actually. I reached Terminal 1 an hour and 15 mins before takeoff and a few minutes before the checkin counter was open. I had the luxury to travel to Terminal 3 to get some lozenges to soothe the cough. Had starbucks before entering the aircraft and met Taufik who came alone too. I’m travelling with Nur, Taufik and Muzammil for 4 nights and 4 days in Bali. Nur, I’ve known for 12 years, Taufik, I’ve met minutes ago and Muz, knew him from the emails and msn correspondences. Crossing my fingers for a great trip ahead, sometimes the best companions are the ones whom you barely knew.

Touched down at Ngurah Rai Internatinal Airport, 15mins before midnight and reached Kuta Townhouse around 1am. Unpacked, washed up and lounged around, getting to know the guys; Nur was already fast asleep. Taufik slept at the couch (him being a gentleman while Nur being a Princess got the double bed all by herself). I was still under the weather hence I got the single bed by myself and Muz got the bed next to mine. Accompanied Taufik to watch soccer before I called it a night. Muz was already snoring, apparently the mad dash to the boarding gate proved too much for the flight virgin. LOL.

Had breakfast with Fik because Muz wanted to wait for the princess. Me and Fik had known Nur for years while Muz had only known her for 4 months hence the tak-kuasa-ness nak menanti. We were psyched up to check out the areas like little boys at the playground and after getting my 4000rupiah PANADOL, we checked out the impecible PURA just outside the townhouse. Pak Arta was already waiting for us and as soon as the Princess and Muz were done with their royal breakfast, we were on our way to our first destination.

Showered and ready for breakfast

My sunny side-up eggs were a bit runny

Fik got his eggs scrambled, like McDonalds’, by his own terms
