Reflections on Bali trip

If I ever had a trip to Bali again.....

1. I will stay in Ubud for a week especially Tegal Sari Hotel, so peaceful and so transquil and most of all full of human touch.
2. I will eat Babi Guling again at Ibu Oka
3. I will not stay at Ida Hotel anymore cos the staff there are very distant and not so friendly and no human touch at all.I only thing I like at Ida is the outdoor jacuzzi.
4. I will not stay overnight at Kuta again instead I will stay in Nusa Dua or even Lovina beach
5. I will go to the Bali Safari and Marine park which nobody tell me it exists until the Australian guest at Ida hotel told me so.
6. I will go for more Bali massage.

Day 6- Final Day in Bali

That was our last day in Bali, so after breakfast we walked along the beach and our main destination that morning was HARD ROCK HOTEL, Bali .

Guitar as toilet door handle:






There was so much to see at Hard Rock Hotel and I really wanted to see the hotel pool, the largest free-form pool in Bali but my friend...face black black kept insisting that he wanted to go back to Ida Hotel to pack liao so I missed that pool....











Next stop for lunch : Lobster at Bamboo Cafe ( Rp 75 000 = RM 30).

We ordered lots of other food trying to finish all our rupiah before boarding the plane.

Football fans : Check this out

Two days ago, I just heard my colleagues scolding one of the students who came to the staffroom looking for that super worn out and torn football... "you all only know football, eat football, think football." Most boys are die hard fans of football. I remember during the World Cup, most of the boys came to school with those super heavy eyes after staying awake up at those early hours to watch football and some told me that they even watch those football matches with their father.

With school holidays coming this website will be a good entertainment to check out for football fans out there : www.partofthegame.tv Loading of the website maybe a bit slow though but it is worth all the wait. It has 5 channels featuring all aspects of football and your favourite football stars.

Bali Day 5

We planned to walk the other direction of bali (to Tuban) today after breakfast at Ida Hotel .






We set out another day of exploring Bali on our own.

First stop: shopping at the stall



Then we walked to Waterbom but because there were too many people being Hari Raya in Indonesia that we gave up the idea of entering the water park.


Further walking brought us to Discovery Plaza.

Walk to the end of Discovery Plaza and you will see this beautiful view which is a great place to watch sunset:





As walking burned off calories so we stuffed our stomachs at A&W @Discovery Plaza.

Rp 5000 soup:


Rp 7000 Mango packet:




Rp 17 000 waffle with ice cream:



Guess what signs are these:





Actually there is not much to see at Discovery Plaza so we decided to walk to Poppies Lane 2 to hunt for that famous Warung 96 by using the Ida Hotel backdoor way. Poppies Lane 2 was actually very near to Ida's Hotewl but the poppies lane was so small and narrow that we missed the turning and walk so much further up hence we discovered the Bali bombing site:

People left cigarettes and drinks here for their lost friends:


A sad sight................200+ died here...

Let talk more happy matters...like food @ warung 96, Legian which is famous for its thin crunchy base pizza which is made from naan bread

This is how they bake their pizza:



Rp 30 000 pizza:

Gado gado again:

There are many surf shops in Poppies lane 2:

Tell you it is fake and yet you don't believe me ...haiyor



Yummy yummy icecream of all flavours but no sugarless icecream...




Dinner at Bamboo Cafe again!!!

Curry crab that are not hot at all...
Gado gado
T bone steak:
