Getting a bit drunk
Recently saw a music video of this band called White Shoes & The Couples Company from Indonesia and I find it very retro and interesting. Heard a few other song tracks by them and it attracts me. What you guys think? Anyone out there had their album? Care to share with me?
Below is one of their famous song music video.
When they were children......
When they were in their twenties.....
When they are in their ........... I have lost of words... hee hee
Enough of day dreaming, we guys walk around the Kuta area for hours and had a drink in a cafe. 7 guys, staring at each other wondering what to do. Finally we ended doing an hour massage ( a decent one) and then went back to the hotel to swim.... what a afternoon!..... The gals came back from their 3 hours spa session and we then went out for dinner. After the dinner, what else.... we went clubbing again... and since it is the last night, we drank and dance the hell out of ourselves... espeacially the ladies... Would like to thank Vteck for buying us the drinks. Pictures below tells a million words, so I'm not going to say much then.... enjoy the pictures....
The next and final day, we did nothing much but some last minute shopping. At 12pm, check out of the hotel and went straight to the airport to catch our flight back to Malaysia. Overall, another good trip with some old and new friends... looking forward for the next trip!
Next we were brought to a Gold and Silversmith located in Celuk. It was a quick drop in as we left in just 15 minutes. No one bought anything there except for Rachel I think. I think not much commision the guide could fork out of us... hee hee. We hopped back onto our bus and head for the Mount Batur in Kintamani. It was raining cats and dogs when we arrive and the fog covered the view of the mountain. It was rather dissapointing but there's nothing much we could do about it. The buffet lunch otherwise was quite good actually with quite a lot of food choices to savour. We filled up our stomach and head to our next destination - The Tirta Empul Temple. It was still raining when we reached but nothing gonna stop us. The temple was a small one but had some history behind it. We saw worshippers cleansing themselves in the cold spring water pools before they could enter the temple. From adults to even kids were bravering the cold just to pay their respect and worship the gods. As we board our bus again, Ms Yean then requested to visit the rice paddy terrace field. She mention it was quite a view. So I talk to our guide and we did drop by for some pictures... hee hee
We were then brought to the Art market in Ubud for some shopping. Arrive the market at 4.45pm and we were only given 45 minutes to shop as the guide said time is running short. Now this is the place where the ladies showed their barganing skills. Price not right, moved on and eventually they will call you back and then you will feel proud as you had win the price negotiation. But you'll feel sad when someone else purchase the same thing with a lower price. Anyway, I think almost everyone bought something there. We then rush to Uluwatu for the Temple on the Rock. It will take 1 and half hours to reach. When we reach there, it was already pitch black. Some of guys are already pissed with the long distance drive. We did not enter the temple. We then head for our last destination, Jimbaran Beach for seafood dinner. All 20 of us, sits on the beach sand, listening to the waves while waiting for our food to be serve. The seafood dinner was quite good. We were given crab, prawns, fish, clams, cuttlefish, soup and vegetables. This meal will at least cost RM35 - RM45 in Kuala Lumpur per person. As it was our last stop, Kevin bought us all beers to go along with the food. Thank you so much Kevin!
There ends our 1 day tour. The journey from one place to another was too far as we spent most of the time on the bus itself. As for the lunch and dinner, it was very worth it indeed. All in transport, meals, entrance tickets etc etc for 12 hours... 1 pax is only at about RM70. A good deal!
Anyway, we went to Bali Island. Reached the island at about 12.30pm and straight we went to check into our hotel. While we're checking in at the reception, Kevin has the urge for some beers. So we both went to search for it. It was our 1st beer and drank non stop the rest of the day. Anyway, the hotel was okie with lots of westerners ladies which we all enjoy watching but the toilet of our rooms is lousy with dirty waters. After that we met up with Eric, Reiko, Esther and her mum which arrives a day earlier and we went for lunch. Lunch was at the beach side, an economical lunch. Then straight we head for the roads... shopping... ice cream...
This is my 2nd time to the island. While we were walking down the streets, Tracy and I do recall the memories during our 1st trip. We walk by some nice stone carvings and we stop for photo shooting! Look at the pictures below. They really think they are super models.. no need to look at the camera one.. haiya... Anyway, continued walking around the area. All the while the guys was holding a can of beer in their hands.... Hee hee
That's basically how our 1st day in Bali ended.... please come by to check out the 2nd day... coming real soon...
