my 2nd trip was really relaxed and laidback compared to the first one. reached bali on the 6th in the afternoon, checked in and went out for a walk along kuta. we were drenched in sweat as bali is sUPER hot, settle for authentic indonesian food at gabah restaurant. after that we went to buy krispy kremes! lol. passed out in the hotel (dynasty hotel) after that. our hotel is really nice, we stayed at the ground floor where our verandah opens out to the garden leading to the swiminpool.

we went to hard rock cafe for dinner and the pork ribs and their macaroni are marvellous. but the band sucks to the max and their shop's selection are liike shit. i saw a few nice tops but they don't have size S and the only sizes left are XL. wtf? we bekamuan and went into hard rock hotel to look at the other shop and managed to buy a top there. the band in the hotel is much better, and i really enjoyed it. so we ended up drinkin there. we wanted to stay in hard rock initailly but they din have rooms for 3 nights, only 2 nights. so we din manage to stay there. after seeing their pool, we decided that no matter what we're stayin in hard rock the next trip. they ave 3 tiered pool and seriously it's sooo inviitng. lol

day 2: we overslept and nearly missed breakfast, lol. then we set out for shopping, street shopping to be exact. after spending the whole morning bragainin and sweating we ended up in starbucks. i tell u, the restaurants in bali, no matter how swanky do NOT have air conds. they have the open air concept due to their architecture, and we were dyin for aircond. even when we entered starbucks the aircond was prob at its lowest fan speed, ish.

at night we had dinner in jimbaran, seafood by the sea. a really romantic place, but the food is not that great la. but the concept is nice. we thought we made it for the sunset, but the sun didn't set, it disappeared in the mid-air. sigh. too much clouds i reckon.

after that we went shoppin in kuta square. wanted to get a bikini, but as what tracy said most of the ones i like are huGE! roxy stuff are really meant for aussies. hehee. the roxy, billabong and rip curl are really huge in bali. 3 floors man, their surfing gear already took up one whole floor.

day 3: woke up darn early for dolphin sighting in nusa dua. cost us 40usd per pax after discount. and we nearly din get to see any. we were out in the sea for 1.5hrs and then the guide was apologizing to us that we weren't so lucky this time. we were heading back to the pier after circling like mad everywhere, and i was seriously fallin asleep.. then we saw them! they were swimmin in pods. and the baby is sooooo cute. so damn playful. saw on its back and flipped its fins in water, splashing water everywhere. they jumped in the air as well.

after that went back for lunch at 10 plus. (bali is all about eating and eating and drinking and sleeping = FAT) after that slept until 2 plus. then we had an appointment for spa at 3pm. they picked us up at 3 and we only managed to finish at 9plus at night. we took the 5.5hr package, nearly died there man. u know how spa makes u sleepy and all, imagine ure there for 5.5 hrs???? got my manicure and pedicure done there as well. it wasnt as impressive as i thought it would be, coz from the brochures its rather diff la. but we got a good deal, 50% discount for that package. so instead of 95usd for one, we paid 95usd for 2.

had dinner in the famous made's warung. and the back to the hotel to call it a night. the next mornin we woke up early for our flight back. the end of the trip...

went for 'hearbreak kid' with ting on monday nite to catch up on our lives and have girly talk. tracy ppk-ed us to go and stay in golden sands with family, ish. movie was okay, but we didn't quite like the ending. we prefer the cheesy chic flicks which are super cliche as opposed to an ending with a stupid twist. twist is good, but not for a romance comedy where it supposed to be a happily ever after ending is supposed.

it's been ages since i last spoken to ting, she was too tied up with her work at AYA and also at ACTS. i guess, it was great being able to meet up and bitch about stuff. lol. to the point that when we reached her place, she suggested that we go to a mamak to continue. lol.

met up with tracy and ting last night at.. guess where?? yeah, egate oldtown.. even hy could guessed that we went there, shows how routine our outings are. lol. tracy, being tracy of course was chatting non-stop saying how she's gonna end up with african kids next time cos dicken wants to adopt. and so much more.. lol

it does feel a lil weird, comin back together and we are supposed to talk about not what happened recently.. the conversation isnt sumthing like 'hi, how's ur week?' anymore.. more like 'how's ur year?' i didnt do much talkin last night coz i dont know where to start, if i were to tell something.. i'd prob need to start from the very beginning and it'll take ages.. but i'm hopin things will get better.. i'm sure it will, i just need a lil warm-up.

btw, tracy is back to the pre-aussie tracy. skinny.. and i feel so darn fat next to her she makes me so self-conscious. sigh. a million ppl told me that i'm fat dee.. today, yster... everyday i hear the same thing, HELP!

i just got back from bringin my ex hsemate out for lunch in swatow lane and chucked him back at gurney hotel. stupid guy called me up yesterday and told me he's in pg and asked me whether i was free last night but i already had plans so i told him i'm free today. thought we will do a meal together or something, mana tau he expected me to be his freakin tour guide.

abit too much right? suddenly call u when he's here and expect u to bring him around the whole day. plus, i'm not even close with him! anyway, he freaked me out when he told me he wanna go around pg and then go shopping etc. the best part is he asked me to help him buy clothes for the sister!!! wtF???

he's some guy that engchuan's (my ex hsemate) friend recommended to take up the store room. he's working and i don't even exactly know what he works as. whatever it is, i got off it dee. don't wana talk about it.

anyway, met up with varsha, ahlow, allan ngai, aaron teoh and gaojing the dOG last night. it was fun catchin up with them, it's been ages since i last saw aaron. though we still do chat on msn and all, but seeing him real life is really funny.. gaojing, is always gonna be gj.. ehehhe.

i'm lookin forward to have all the blex back!! btw, i'm going to kl on the 26th. so girls, make sure we meet up before that kay? let me know when u guys are free, i know u wanna spend time with family first.. well, just so that u know.. im just a call away

wtf!! i just typed a long entry and then poof! the page was directed to 'help out with beta testing'

damnit. i can't beliv it... my entry... *sob*

to cut thngs reallly reallllly short. i just wanna tell all the blex that i love them! mwah.
