days in the life

DAY ONE
that day, July 10 th, me mom and sister went to Bali. we went there by plane, of course haha.

the journey took about 1 hour 30 minutes, so we arrived at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport at 12pm , then we went to the hotel. we stayed at Novotel Tanjung Benoa. the hotel was good, so natural and very Bali (traditional) . the hotel got two things I love the most, free internet service plus iTunes so I can recharge my iPod haha, and beach! after we checked in and other blablabla, we went to the beach for lunch and just play around. the beach was so beautiful, the water, the sands, the sky, everything were so perfect. the food? makes that afternoon wonderful

see, I really love the sky, so blue and clear. such a very beautiful and peaceful place.

DAY TWO
after had breakfast, around 10am we went out to Kuta. in Kuta we didn't bought and did anything, oh but my mom bought a Balinese sarong hehe. then we had lunch at Made's Warung. after that we went to Garuda Wisnu Kencana. we were very lucky, the sky was very very beautiful. more beautiful than day one. we took many pictures there and bought an ice cream.

after from Garuda Wisnu Kencana we went to Uluwatu to see sunset and Kecak Dance. the sunset was very very beautiful, but because of the monkeys I can't took many pictures there. the monkeys were very bad, my camera almost kicked by them -.- bad monkeys, bad monkeys. but my monkeys not that bad hahaha, I love you guys.

then we had dinner at Jimbaran, we had grilled fish and prawns. hmmmmm the food was good, but I don't know why I think seafood in BSD much better than this ahahaha or maybe just because of my soar throat so I can't eat very well :p

after dinner we got back to the hotel and sleeeeeeeepppp

DAY THREE
we just stayed at the hotel and played at the beach, again. I brought my guitar with me this time. well, my guitar had travel with me 3 times I think haha. at the first, I played guitar and sat on the sands, watched people sunbathing and swimming, after enough 'sunbathing' , me and my sister play. my mom and my sister did parasailing, but I didn't. I'm too afraid of height, really I'm afraid of height hehe.

DAY FOUR
we went to Nusa Lembongan island, we went there by a ship.

I never been to an island with that very beautiful sand. I've been to some islands in Indonesia, but I never found an island like this. we stayed at a traditional hut, like people in 1435700 years ago I think. but just the appereance, but inside was so modern haha. oya but there was no TV! but thats okay, I prefer play at the beach than watch TV either if there was a TV hehe. in there we did snorkeling, banana boat (about 4 times we did haha) , 'diving' with semi-submarine, and of course play at the beach also swimming pool haha.

after we felt full enough of swimming we took a shower and then walking at the beach while waiting for sunset. hmmmmmm but the sunset wasn't good enough I think hehe

DAY FIVE
finally we got back to the 'real' Bali island, we went to Kuta to stay a night there. we stayed at Hard Rock Hotel. I was very exited there hahaha not because of the hotel, but because of there were a lot of Beatles' stuffs and photographs. I took many pictures of something about Beatles.

but I also captured this,

DAY SIX
when I woke up in the morning on that day, I was still so sleepy so I turned the TV on and wham! it was Somebody To Love by Queen live in Montreal, when I watched that suddenly just remember Nabol singing this in class, and me play the guitar, also Mutia sing along with us, and Yeci&Cigi just silent watching us hahaha oh I miss them.

after breakfast we checked out then we went to Ubud. but before we made to Ubud, we went to Celuk (silver handicraft) and Sukawati Market for shopping. yeaaah I love shopping haha. I got many things from there.

then finally we made to Ubud. but because my mom haven't book a hotel yet, so we were seeking a hotel first. finally we got one, but just for a night! so we must to move to other hotel tomorrow hahaha but ya thank God we got hotels to stay. and these two hotels were face-to-face hahaha. the first hotel was smaller but we got very beautiful view from our room, rice fields view.

what do you think? I think this place is gorgeous :)

DAY SEVEN
we went to Bali Bird Park, at first I was not intersted very much about this park, but when we got there I changed my mind haha. it was great, many cool birds in there. oya we bought an ice cream too, and the ice cream was very nice nyemmmm :9

I love eagle, and this one is pretty

then we had lunch at Bebek Bengil. after that we got back to the 'new' hotel, me and sister were swimming at the pool while my mom was walking around the Ubud Centre.

around 7pm we went out, we went to see Legong Dance. the show was great, it was 7 kind of dances we watched. but in the middle of the show, suddenly I lost my mood because of a freak bule shouted at me to not taking pictures with flash! what the hell are you, the owner of the hall? dammit -.- so I just captured a few pictures.

Muller Sandra and Lara. my mom talked with dutch to them, but not everytime because they talked to me too hehe. the view of the villages were awesome, everything still so traditional and natural. I saw many rice fields (although I'll see it too when I go to Java for lebaran haha) , Cocoa fields, farms, Sweet Corn fields, hot spring, river with ladies who take a bath and washing clothes, and many many things you could't see in big cities. in this trip I got many pictures yeah.

they said these ladies can carry stones about 15 kg in 200 metres up and down the forest, WOW!

after one hour after the break and continued the trip, we had lunch in a forest. a real forest with a natural build restaurant. the place was beautiful, the weather also. I really love that place.

in there I found many flowers, although ya they're just ordinary flowers that you could found in parks. but I love to taking pictures of flowers, so this is it hehe
