Sister trip to Bali

I am suppose to do this when I got back to KL but apparently I fell sick terribly and got me like a month to recover back. Bad sore throat, bad coughing, bad flu... Oh my god. There is no word that I could use to describe how terrible I am.

Anyway, back to my story of my sister trip to Bali. We booked our flight back in somewhere around end of June. The first plan was actually to go to Medan (I guess, can't remember) as per what Ee Laine suggested. However we changed the plan to Kuta, Bali instead as what her colleague recommended.

I searched online and realized AirAsiaGo is having promotion to few destination so I quickly browsed and discussed with Ee Laine.... through Whatsapp. What a mess because she was on her way back to KL from JB. The worst part is, the internet goes on and off nonstop for her. BUT! We still managed to book it at the price of less than RM900 per person. It includes 5 nights stay in hotel with breakfast and of course a return flight ticket.

I think it is quite cheap because the hotel is new and it is at the most strategic location. Click here to check out their hotel. It is a new hotel, funky hotel, humble staff, nice pool, good location.

This is the entrance of the hotel.

We requested for a basic honeymoon setup as both of us are hospitality graduated, we really love to see how other hotel do the setup. They actually fold different type of figurines whenever we requested for housekeeping. How can you not love them??

Now, this hotel situated nearby the most famous clubs and bars. We have Sky Garden, Engine Room, etc etc... Too much to be listed here. One of my favorite night club is Engine Room. Their songs are my type of genre. The distance from the airport to the hotel is like around 20 minutes or less. Super near!

Btw, a little tips for you here to grab taxi from the airport. Pre-download the "MyTeksi" or "UBER" apps before leaving to Bali. Setup everything in the app beforehand. When you arrived in Bali, simply just connect to their airport WiFi which is free of charge. Switch on the app and request for a taxi. It is just like UBER. Super cheap and reliable. If you are thinking to get a cab right when you arrived, man..... you have to walk out from the airport to the taxi stand which you have to walk about 10 mins (I read this somewhere before I travel to Bali). If you do not have any smartphone, you can also request airport pick up from your hotel service which quite pricey. I paid about 120,00 rupiah for that. Now, if you really arrange a pick up from the hotel, when you walk out from the arrival hall, don't bother much to look for your name/hotel's name. Just walk out and go to the information counter and tell them that you did not see your driver. Give them the details, they will announce it for you. FASTER than yourself trying to look for your driver which I really did that. Damn!

Now, while you are pulling your luggage or carrying them, you'll be offered a help by stranger to help you carry them. If you really need the help, be prepare to tips them.... in USD or SGD. Avoid if you're going to Bali in budget.

Back to the story.... The hotel breakfast were merely the same food every morning. Bacon, sausages, pancakes, beans etc etc. The only different is their local breakfast. Its either noodle, fried rice or some fried vermicelli. 

After breakfast, we decided to do some little photo shoot around the pool area.

There is more, can check out on our Facebook.... If you're connected with us. Hahahahaha....

Right after, we decided to go to the beach! The beach is not that far, we walked about 10 minutes from our hotel. However, we got "attacked" by numbers of vendors... Massage, Henna, accessories and etc. Terrible. So I bought an anklet so she can stop bothering me while I am have massage. GUYS! MASSAGE BY THE BEACH IS A BAD IDEA!

Trying to show you guys our most "satisfying" face for the camera.

At the meanwhile before Ee Laine got "attack" by the masseur selling her services, I was attack by this Henna Master. Felt like we cheat this master more. LOL 100,000 rupiah for 2.

While looking for dinner.............Look what I found,

Stark's House. I'm a part of GOT now. LOL

You might think they have this sort of little hut by the beach for you but no! They just took out a piece of large cloth for you to lay on. It is fine but not cool when the wind blew the sands on you and you're like having body scrub than massage. In fact, they are not really massaging you but rubbing your body. I felt more kinky when all these beach boys came and look at you getting pampered and these masseur like rubbing your chest. wtf. Expensive, awkward, not even a massage. Duhhh.....

Anyway, we met with our Indonesian friend and we went for a day trip.

We got our driver from the third party which located right outside our hotel. Freaking cheap as they go by 4 ppl in a car for 600,000 rupiah, Of course we did a little bargaining. We went to holy places, volcano, cultural show, batik, and etc.

There's actually more photo, but I would prefer you to experience them yourself!

Go to this restaurant if you're going to Bali! Best satay lilit ever!!!!! Must try their bebek (duck)! That's what they're famous for! Let me show you a sneak peak of their menu.

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!

Let me make you hungry!!!

We went for our next trip then we are hungry again. Time for dinner!

Look at the food and scenery. Best for sunset! Sorry guys, can't recall the name of this restaurant. But if you are keen to know, let me know. I'll ask my Indonesian friend as he is the one recommended us.

Little did we know, time passed so fast till to the end of our trip. So... ya. That's all. Bye. 

It's been awhile

Hello, people!

It has been awhile ever since my last last post. Supposingly my previous post should posted up on the 6th or the 7th of April after my uncle passed away but my internet in Thailand has expired and got no internet.

However, I still have no time yet to post anything yes because I was in vacation after my training. Me and Enric went to Krabi for 4 days long in Phra Nang Inn.

My room interior, it has a bathub next to my bed! Anyway, not much photo of room but....

A pool.... Near to beach.....

A second pool! Near to my room but I still went to the first pool. This is more quiet and calm pool because less people came here. Surprisingly, it has garden right beside! But have to walk through mini staircase.

Street view...

Isn't it lovely? Near to the beach, crowded with shops and massage therapy.

View captured outside the balcony of my room. Sadly, we can't see any sunset. Not really matter because the view is stunning!

After 4 days in Krabi, we flew to Chiang Mai and there's where my brother joined in! After almost a month, we met again. We checked in Mandala House, a massive unique budget hotel. Freaking cheap but good hotel! The shower amenities will never run out, awesome room with balcony and with bathub! We stayed ground floor, next to the elevator : many guests talked loudly without considering the room nearby, but we didn't ask for another room as we don't really mind because we are too tired to switch room and hassle the staff. We thought there is no pool but apparently there is a pool! Nice and small. Not much people using it anyway, doesn't matter bout the size tho. It's located inside housing area with lots of budget hotel. Mandala House may be considered as budget but they do provide breakfast and free wifi. Totally out of expectation! 3 days in Chiang Mai is awesome! Bro and Enric enjoyed it! Especially.......

With the cabaret ladyboys! Hahaha! Btw, we bumped into Daniela and Yves (Enric's friend) in one of the temple and we hang out on that day.

Oh oh! We visited 3D art museum. Thanks to me for checking the brochure at the front desk. Everyone enjoyed much!

One of my favorite! It's edited with rain drops. Hahahaha!!!!

Last day in Chiang Mai before flying back to K.L, I realized something.....

I'm pregnant!!!!! Just kidding. Food poisoning + inflammation ureter and small intestine.... These continuos for freaking 1week plus. Injection, plenty of medicines and 2 doctors. This photo took on the second time I consulted with my doctor, Dr. Wong and declared inflammation with dehydration. Swollen till this bad. Worst thing ever! Not sure in it was the second day's dinner or the 3 milk teas I had on the second day. Because I'm the only one suffered..... However, I think I'm fully recovered because I did not finished my medicine although I know it's a must. Way too disgusting....

Bangkok is not as danger as a war field

Many people has been frightened by the news regarding Bangkok is in a big mess. Everyday, the news shown in TV news, newspaper or any other sources of media are showing how brutal the demonstration are, how people fights each other, number of people dead or injured and so forth.

People, calm down. Nothing serious will be happen if you're staying in the city centre. I'm working in city centre and staying out from city centre, yet I'm still in one piece. Of course, my area was trespassed by a quite big number of ambulances and police cars. I don't know what happen but as long as I stay at home and mind my own business.

If you're traveling within the period of demonstration, don't be afraid. Just avoid the red or yellow color shirt, stay away from the crowd, do your own shopping and hunting, I can guarantee 80% you're safe. If not, you're the remaining of 20% unlucky lah.

I'm serious, there's no harm at all. Ok? Just don't join the demonstration and critics them. Like I've just mentioned, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS if you still wanna go back to your home country in one piece. You've see my previous post, I went there and there's not a riot or mob is going on. Is just a demonstration or protest. It's not Muay Thai Kickboxing match or Jackie Chan's action is going on. It's like a concert. Don't believe me? Scroll down.

It looks like concert and they're busy listening to the speakers. You no harm them, they no harm you. It's just that simple. Alright?

Bon voyages!
