Bali Story...ver 1


6.00 am,Malaysia
Bangun pagi. Beg dah siap packed malam tu. Bersubuh first. And then 6.30 my pickup(my sis bf) dah sampai.OMG..Awalnya. Plan nak gerak kul 7 jek.PAdahal x mandi gik ni. My sis cakap dia very particular about time soaku expect la muka masam mencuka di pagi hari.ruined my day? Fortunately not so far....Mmmm..Bakal adik ipar aku ladies and gentleman..Hahah

6.45 am, Malaysia
Left the house and onto LCCT. Sembang2 dalam keta while my sis membuta kat belakang. KEsian plak pagi2 cuti ni kena nganto. Although i didnt understand why he chose KLIA highway over lalu jalan salak selatan tu. Waste of toll money. Jauhnya sama jek. X kisahlah asalkan sampai on time.


7.45 am, LCCT

Nice ad to remind you to pre-booked your baggage online. :)

Sampai dah.Checkin the bag. Kesian kat traveller sebelah x pre-booked their luggage,kena bayar a total of over RM300-500 for their huge bags only. Dengan x paham bahasa inggerisnya. ADeh..Luggage lagi mahal dari ticket last minute ke bali. Ni mesti x fully informed coz booked through travel agent. Like my dad advise, sila ambil tau and jangan bagi alasan xtau...MMmmm.

8.00 am,LCCT's

Kat LCCT. Thanks to my sister, can still use her backpack.Really practical for travel.

KEna tunggu around an hour lagi for gate opening. SO grabbed breakfast kat McD. Lucky me i didn't yet redeem my complimentary burger voucher dapat time larian McD aritu so save la couple of bucks. But yet still so damn expensive. I don't know why so many people waste money having breakfast in McD with their so-so meal. Lepak2 ler ngan my friend and his friends. Pukul 9 gerak g departure hall. Time ni member dah macam cuwak takut lambat ke hape. I assured him no need to worry coz we're all on schedule. Boarding a bit late around 15 min and take off was late 30 min behind schedule. Still acceptable for me. Thanks for my prior experience, all boarding process went all smooth except that my friend had to go through the metal detector door couple of times because he forgot to took out his mp3 player..hahah.Stop complaining bro.. Your fault man. Just saying :P

10 am, AirAsia A320 Plane

Check out our plane. AirAsia Indonesia!!

Cuaca baik and take off was fine. Because we took AirAsia Indonesia, it was a preview of Indonesia. Their hospitality, their beauty(Indonesian mostly has a sweet smile and darker smooth skin that just made me melt) and their accent. Love it.


Nasi Lemak yang x seberape sedap tapi mahal.

Got our pre-booked meal. Mine has a drink and my friend's didnt come with.Lucky he bought mineral water kat airport which cost him RM3. Same price but bigger bottle if buy on the ground.Lucky break i advised him to buy before we boarded the plane. I ate Nasi Lemak Pak NAsir(lauk x sedap mana tapi nasi dia sedap) and my friend ate a huge hotdog. Smelly pickles though. Yuck! The flight was all smooth with very minimal turbulance in a duration of 3 hours. Couldn't sleep so i was just listening to mp3 and read a novel the whole entire flight. Saw awesome view of beautiful island on the way. Maybe Lombok.

Bali( Nusa Dua) from air minutes before touchdown



1.15 p.m. , Bali Airport

Bali Airport just next to the ocean.

Touchdown!!!! From feeling restless the night before to excited in here. Great to see an airport beside a sea. A hotel porter greeted us on our arrival and brought us to the hotel which about 20 mins away. On the way, saw a lot of Bali unique architecture and awesome monuments. Already loving my time in Bali.


Awesome architecture in Bali Airport.

Some random art monument near the airport.

2.00 Hotel in Nusa Dua

Melepak half an hour kat lobi sementara tunggu bilik ready.

The hotel was great. The pools were awesome. The staffs were friendly. The ambiance was quiet and windy. They were playing Bali gamelan music all over the hotel so it felt soothing. X macam hotel2 Malaysia yang plays music2 piano kat hotel.To me tadak identiti. Hence, our hotel just perfect for a 4 star hotel. Checked in half an hour late coz bilik x ready lagi.To add another bad points, the room was a bit crampy with a silly-small window(although came with a great view and a peek at neighbor's bathroom window,hahah).


The room so small they even had to merge the twin beds. HAhah


Look how small the window was.Couldn't even open.

Thank God the bathroom was okay.


Lupa nak add that the hotel was located on top of a hill in NUsa Dua so the view was aaawwee---meyyh--zeeeng!!Could see two volcano mountains, the great sea of Bali in Nusa Dusa and the forestry that neighbored the hill.See the pics yourself to believe it. Unfortunately, i would expect we were in Indonesia, at least a kiblat sign would be there. Unfortunately, there wasn't. So tawakal je and took my friend advise to look for the sun. Being the room was small, nak solat pon payah dengan sejadah pon lupa bawak. But all went well. Ikut kita nak or taknak solat jek which compared to my experience in Krabi. Guilty as charged!! Aku x solat selama 4 hari 3 malam sebab xtau kiblat kat sana. Huhu.

3.00- Hotel
Time ni dapat tau yang our hotel is quite far from everything. Normallah tu. You gain some(solitude and great view), you lose some (city life, beachfront and walking distance shops). However i wouldn't trade the experience with any other hotels in there. So kena tunggu hotel's van g Kuta around kul 6 for roaming the city. Sementara tgh tunggu tu and hujan pon dah berhenti, took a quick dip in the pool kat rooftop. Very nice. Mmg the best pool i've been to coz of the view.

The hotel's ground floor swimming pool.

The rooftop infinity pool even better. Check out the view!!


After several minutes of swimming, perut dah melapor. Thought couldnt wait for the hotel pickup anymore coz so damn hungry hence decided to rent a bike. IDR80000 per day or about RM30 per day. Not so bad considering cabfare to the hotel from Kuta pon dah 80000 rupiah gak. So off we went naik motor jenama Honda Vario..





BEst sangat motor ni. Economical and smooth. The same cannot be said about Bali's traffic though. CHAOTIC!!!Even traffic jam kat MAlaysia is nothing to compare with the chaos in Bali's traffic. All sorts of transportation cramped the one lane street. Can you imagine? Motor, bus, pajero, lori, keta, taxi,basikal..Even trolley shop jual bakso pon nak nyempit sama...Hahah


Panjang plak post nih...nanti aku sambung version lain plak beserta gambar..
