The Arrival of 2012.

 WELL well well, here we go 2012.... My New Year's Eve was a splashing blast seing our own neighbor's country Bali, Indonesia. Went with wifey and met her friend and hubby from Jakarta who tour us all around Bali, well not the whole Bali but touring Seminyak, Legian and Kuta Beach mostly. Flight from LCCT took around 2 hours to reach Ngurah Rai Bali Airport and the Airport was a little bit messy due to renovations to make it bigger. We went there on the last day of 2011 at 8pm and the driver Pak Nyoman already waited to pick us up and send us to the Villa in Seminyak. Along the way there's fireworks like everywhere in every corner and those fireworks they just non-stop till 6am can you believe that. We also saw lots of Surf Outlets along the way and smiles. After arriving the Villa, we was so shocked as hell because the place that we're staying is helluva BIG bloody BUNGALOW! Of course with swimming pools and everything was right there. The best is, we don't have to pay for accommodation and a very Thank You to Indri & Reno. Before we went out we refreshed ourselves and getting ready to celebrate NYE at Kuta area. And the traffic is darn ugly!!! You don't wanna meet the traffic on Bali during any NYE, trust me. So Pak Nyoman dropped us somewhere there and we have to walk walk walk and walk around to find foods before hitting the 88 Eighty Eight Club. And so we found this Italian restaurant. Later after dinner we went to 88 and I don't know, nothing interest me much yet is just an ordinary club. I was so so so so sober so yeah, this trip is my sober trip and I kinda like it much. Went back to Villa at 2am (fireworks still on till 6am, crazy and pretty annoying). 


Below some pictures I snapped here and there in Bali :)














































 There are few more places we went, mostly tasting the foods, window shopping, minimal shopping and bla bla bla. But the most attracts me is this place call "W", that is on the second-last-day we were there. It's a nice place to chill and watch the sunset with deep house and commercial house music played by the DJ. "W" is a hotel franchised by the Americans I was told. But there's one place we missed which is Potato Head because the waiting list is like 2 hours so we skipped to "W". I can't say much about this trip because there is too much to say. But the only one thing I'd like to share about Bali is the architectures of the buildings here is pretty Unique and detailed, different from the busy KL or the any other islands of ours like Langkawi, Tioman. Wherever you travelling in Bali in a car or scooter, you just don't want to blink your eyes and not to miss a thing on your left and right, there's too many boutiques, italian restaurant, cafes, bars and lounges. They are well build, communications are not an issue at all, they speak English fluently but in terms of bargaining things at the market, your pocket are no longer safe IF you are WHITE people!! After you ask the price they will ask you where you from so they can nego their own rate of selling things. The beach, in Kuta is a little bit dirty because I think Bali is really packed with people everywhere you go, mostly the WHITES. So that is some of the stories behind our Bali trip I can share.


 However I'd love to say thank you to Wifey for quite some expenses there she brought out coz I'm pretty broke :) Thanks "Bie". I hope you people had a great time on NYE and Happy New Year 2012. May this whole brand new year bring us lots of happiness, lotsa love and lotsa money$$$. Till we meet again. 


Assalamualaikum :)
