barrrrrrleyyyyy

family trip to bali! =D
 


my first stay in a pool villla! *thumbs up. felt like a princess for 4 days =)) its so awesome when you have a private pool, and the staff would served breakfast right up to your villa and even set up the table for you. mega nice! =D

day 1
nth much for day 1 given that we reached bali only in the late afternoon. so it was more of exploring around the area that we stayed. but it was damn cool at night because they have street lamp but somehow or rather, they just don't function. SOOO.....it felt like an adventure to me as we figured our way out in the darkness. my dad was like 'wah, jungle training'. =) thank goodness we did manage to find our way back in the end =) because its like we were walking along the road in darkness and not knowing whether we were in the right direction.

day 2
parents went for spa while sis and i spent the whole morning swimming and sun tanning. my deliberate attempt to sun tan didnt go really well. i only got teeny weeny bit darker =x anyway, went to uluwatu in the late afternoon, and it took us freaking 1.5 hrs just to get there via car! oh my. but the place was realllllly prettty except for the scary monkey that attacked ppl!


we watched kecak and fire dance at uluwatu as well. quite interesting actually. instead of using musical instruments like most dance would, these guys used their voices to create music and to tell a story.

day 3
spent the entire day out! went to many many places =)) coffee plantation, rice terraces, had drinks at this restaurant that overlooked a volcano, visited traditional balinese house, tanah lot, tried local food as welll. thumbs up!



the volcano!


 
this is tanah lot. apparently when its low tide, we can actually walk to the temple. but it was high tide when we went. so didnt have the chance to walk there.boooo. but it was reallly prettty there!
 
day 4
our turn to go spa while my parents spent the morning swimming. haha! awesome spa oh my! full body massage, full body scrub and then soaking ourselves in flower tub =DD perfect way to end the trip!

department's teambuilding day! (still cant believe 2hrs of dodgeball cost $800 -_-'', but yeah, if we do not spend it, the govt gonna take em back....so might as well...)

so friday was declared 'teambuilding day' as everyone headed down to marina country club early in the morning. thumbs up to that because i stay near to it! =DD despite stayin so near, i never knew there's a company there that organises dodgeball. anw! dodgeball wasnt too bad. kind of makes me wan to play netball again! =D

the 28 of us headed down to jalan kayu for lunch after dodgeball, and then to boss's house to play boardgames. stayed till evening before we all call it a day! =))

i don't know how and where to start updating my blog because i have not been doing so lately. mmmm. and yes, my laptop died on me months ago, and my erjie's old laptop also died on me days ago.....all my electronics are dying on me, possibly reflecting the power of my sweaty palms =/  hai.  and i cant sign into my friend's nus account to access the database for journal articles, which explained why i am here blogging...
