Bali Last Day!!! :(
~Friends Forever~
Haiyo....Sigh.... and what have you.... Its the last day and i was dreading to return to Singapore. I like this place. (Wait... sips fruit punch)... We woke up i brushed my teeth and then we left for the Kuta Beach. We did our last minute shopping. I bought 5 hats there and 2 surf shorts. I bought some display miniature guitars and guitar keychains. It was the last day and we still couldn't find a nice actual-sized surfboard. Boohoo... After lunchtime, we headed to Denpasar which was their city. We went to the art shop there. It was open on tt day. We entered then we saw the magnificient pieces of art there. My father spoke to the boss there in an accent as the last time we came, there were a European couple who spoke in that way so my father imitated the eurpoean people. He spoke in an accent saying," We are not orang putih.... " and stuff like that. it was damn funny. They ordered so many paintings for their shop. I would look as if their shop was an art gallery. You'll reading this should come to see the shop when the shipment comes. I'll inform ul on my tag board there will be the usual sale when all the goods become cheaper than usual despite it being so cheap already...haha. But ul should come. This time there are alot of things. Things for guys also like the runes stone necklace and display guitars very nice and all..... k...back to Bali... After the art shop we went to the airport. It was a very rush day..(Ketchup Song being played now).... haha...but it was good. We went to the airport then left Bali to go back to misery. Hate it. School is gonna start soon and it sucks. haha.... ya so thats about wateva happen....my back tattoo is itching i dunno why.... but the rest are ok.. i got to go now get ready to out!!! Bye!! And that's the tale of the Bali Trip!!!

Cool Club!!! haha!!!
Hmmm... music tooo loud noww.... turning it a bit softer... haha... ok.... just ryte now. So Day 3 was like cool... We had breakfast after bathing and all like usual. Then, we went inside the van and went on our merry way to see more suppliers. BORING!!! so ill go into the more fun parts. We went back to Kuta Beach as the last destination which was an art place was closed. There i did 4 tattoos and bought tonnes of stuff. That's practically what we did on that day and we also bought like 16 DVDs. hmmm... ate at a Thai Resuarant. It started to drizzle while we were eating under the vast open sky. so we moved under shelther. We returned to the hotel and had a wash and went to bed. LIGHTS OUT!!!

Bali - Day 2
Singapore's Best Models!!! Hee hee!!!
Hmmm... its day two! We woke up at resort. I had gotten the best sleep of my life. After all my strength was drained the previous day... going back to a bed was wat i had in mind... and i got it!!! Ok... We woke up had the usual routine of bathing and all then, we headed to the different shops in Ubud yet again. Freaking hot(temp.) the car was.. like me...*cough*!! hmmm ok... we went on to see more and more furniture. Till lunchtime where we had lunch at a beautiful padi field cultivation place. It was open air and the gust of wind made it feel as if it were a air-conditioned room. There were many steps over the large mountainous area where laid many rice crops. There are the farmers who after a few minutes, shouted very loudly to scare the pesty birds away from feeding on the poor harmless rice crops. The farmers also used a metal sheet and banged it very hard in order to scare them away. A particular farmer came down from a cliff above us and started climbing the coconut trees to shout out to the cultivation area. His face looked damn fierce and serious but when he turned to our direction, he gave a big bright smile to us. He was damn funny. He was probably the same man who we saw the last time we came to Bali. He looked very familiar. After lunch, we headed for more and more shopping till and last evening, we headed back down to Kuta to stay at a very luxurious and beautiful hotel named Harris. That hotel was magnificient. It seemed as if it was not part of Bali because of its well designed structure and activities it had inplace for those who intend to spend their holiday in the hotel only. We had the furtherest room but it was ok.... So we washed up and went off to sleep!

Bali - 1st Day
Super Male Model - Quite good at posing ar?
Just came back from Bali!!! Boohoo!!! Since it was a 3 or 4 day affair, i would blog what we did each day in each entry coz i would probably start intensive studying from tomolo onwards so my entries will b boring. So to spice it up, I would tell you about my interesting trip!
Day 1 - Friday: Actually(common phrase justed too often by our travel guide in a slang form), it started in the early morning of about 7.30 8 o'clock as i entered the bathroom to have a bathe and brush my teeth to get ready on our 1st official day in Bali. Despite us arriving the previous day, we arrived at around 11 so its not considered a day. We had breakfast. My parents and sister had a packaged buffet breakfast while i had a delicious tender burger with some fresh warm fries at the side which i was craving the moment i stepped down on the grounds of Bali. My parents booked the 3-bed room coz it was cheaper thus i was sneaked in thus i didnt get a packeged buffet but i could if i wanted but they would have had to pay extra. Since it was a business trip, my sis and i did not enjoy the ordering of goods part which was estimately 70% of the trip. Only some parts of the ordering time we enjoyed a bit like on choosing of accesories and paintings(on the 2nd last and last day). On the 1st day they did some intensive shopping for i dunno what product cos half of the time i was in the car sleeping cos so boring with my sister. Towards lunchtime, we drove to Ubut where we had lunch. We had lunch at a place called 'dirty ducks restuarant'. It was named that because just when the place was about to be completed, a few ducks came to the padi field around the restuarant and then later they entered the restuarant with their dirty webbed feet. The ducks dirtied the whole place so they decided to call it dirty ducks restuarant. There I had a club sandwitch while my father, the driver and the guide had the famous nasi goreng, while my mom and sis had rice with a whole duck which has a name for it but i cant remember what it is. We continued with our journey to all the shops they needed to cover. At one of the shops named Kartini, i bought some furniture for my room cos i will be switching room with my sis so i will be having a bigger room. You must one day come and see it when it is done. I planned to buy an actual surfboard to put on the wall but we couldnt find any cheap ones. I am contamplating on having a graffiti wall with my name on it and stuff like that or not, but i have to see first. The day ended early as we returned to another hotel which was actually a resort to put our baggage down and check in. It was so beautiful. There were cows and river and all. Damn nice. Its called Arma Resort. Sounds like my maid's name. Freaky man. Luckily the resort is not as horrible as her. After that, we went to the heart of Ubut to shop some more. We returned around 9 or 10 o'clock and had a bathe then knocked out till the next day.

Stay Overs
My Sis and I. Not Bad my picture editing huh?
Looks like i have not blogged in for quite a while. Life has been sucky like before. School during Holidays!!! I have to protest to this. What are holidays for den. Plus its bogged up with tonnes of homework which is to be completed when school reopens. How am i to study then? Besides that, this pass few days were kinda fun. No school. Anton n his bros stayed over today. Let me account of what we monkeys were up to.
6th June 2005: Its monday. Monday blues begins. School in the morning. However, it was quite fun as anton stayed over with aaron the previous day. We had a moviemarathon which lasted for only 2 movies. We had a star wars marathon. We watched episode 5 and 6 before i knocked out. Before the Star Wars Episode 6 ended everyone was asleep except me. Plus i had school on that day and i should have slept early so that i can wake up fresh for school. That stay over was quite a bore but the one i had today was ultimate.
8th June 2005: It all began after a long journey to Mandai which we had made as we made as we were suppose to go to the Night Safari. It was raining cats and dogs. So we headed for Holland V for food!!! I had a refreshing coke float which satisfied my thirst. I also had oreo obssesion which consisted of an oreo cheesecake, hazelnut ice-cream and crushed oreo. It was out of this world but the cheesecake wasnt cold; it was warm actually. Then after that, we found out that everything was half-priced coz my godfather's company owned a part of the restuarant. It was cool. BTW i went to anton's house and from there they decided to stay over. Actually it was in the car when we decided. After that, they had a bathe then we made our way to my house. At home i helped my sister out with her project while the rest were watching the Phantom Menace downstairs. After the show was over i brought down the matresses with the help from anton and made some drinks, etc. We played Halo for around 1-2 hrs then they started having a lightsaber fight outside my house while i went to take a bathe. After that we sang kareoke till around 5 or 6am with alex on the phone with anton during the whole time. We intended to go fishing but we were too lazy. So, we watched the Phantom of the Opera yet again. Oh my gosh!!! Its like my 7th to 10th time watching it. Terrible!!! ahah... but we put on that show so that we will fall asleep and yay it worked. haha. Anton left my house at 7. Followed by Ashley at 9 plus then lastly Aaron at 10 plus. I am still kinda fresh despite sleeping for a while only. I have not bathe again yet im not smelly. Havent brushed my teeth too oops.haha. So i better get going coz i got to go out later. so ya bye!!!!
