Villa Kresna - Seminyak

The villa that we choose to stay in during our Bali trip: Villa Kresna, Seminyak.

The sliding door to go into the room. 

It's a full length glass sliding door, thus before you sleep at night, you have to remember to pull the curtains if not everyone will be able to look into the room. LOL!

This is the roof and dressing table that greeted us when we open our door the room. :)

The room is actually a mini-house, with 4 pillars at each corner. Initially I was afraid that the roof might 漏水 when it rains, since it looks as through it's built using the bamboo sticks. But lucky, there's concrete on it, and no water can go through (it rains on the 2nd day! ^.^).

The mini-bar and the duper big closet :)

Usual stuff at the Mini-bar, nothing special with a small fridge. But the closet is super duper big. HAHAHA! 2 luggage and still there is ample space to put me inside! :)))

Simplicity is good. :) Toilet with all the necessary amenities. Clean and tidy, I like! :))


The ultra-soft sofa  :) Long enough for me to sleep in, and very cooling because the air-con is blowing cool air directly on the sofa!


The bed! LOL! Big enough to sleep 3-4 person. But it's quite hard (would prefer the sofa instead) and if only there's more pillows! -_-"" But it's right in front of the TV, so I get to lie down everyday and watch TV till I fall asleep! HAHAHA!

Our balcony, for us to lie down under the hot sun, and dry our clothes.

It's just a short post on the room, nothing fancy since we didn't want to spend too much on the accommodation. More pictures to come! :) 

Good night folks! ^_^!!!

P.S: I'm not a spare for you.

Still trying to sort the photos out!

Still in the midst of organizing my photos from the Bali trip. The problem with using 2 different cameras is that you've to rearrange all the photos before doing some editing to them! 

More work, but then I can't imagine not taking any shots with my iPhone! ^_^!!! 

Morning breakfast from the Villa. A freshly made watermelon juice and a hangover sandwich! 
It's DELICIOUS! ^_^!!!

Fruit Punch, and a Honey Chocolate Frappe for the dinner! ^_^!

A cheeky me, enjoying the sea breeze, and appreciating the Ang Mos' KEEP FIT body! *LOL!* 

And all these shots are taken with my iPhone! *YAY!* Some are even better than my TX5. -_-"""

B.A.L.I, a SPA paradise :)

I'm covered with insect bites all over my body! *Eeewww!!!!* And I totally have no idea where did all these bites come from?! No mopiko, only lotion on hand to stop the itch for now. 

Just back from Bali, was a fun trip, with lots of scenery and sunshine! And also for the first time I done a full SPA! HAHAHA! The Spa experience was definitely a WOW, since I wasn't expecting that kind of services they provided but nevertheless it was very 舒服! ^_^!!!

The interior of the Spa shop, The Body Spa. :) Very Balinese style, and there's always a sweet-smelling air around you.  

For RP$300,000 (around SGD44), we started off with a foot scrub in a pot with flower petals. Nothing special about it, I supposed it's just a leg wash. Right after that, we have to undress ourselves for the full body massage with the Lavender oil (a few choices to choose from). The thing about this full body massage is that it's REALLY a full body massage, meaning you have to turn over for them to massage your front side too. HAHAHA! *blush!* 

The different types of massage oil to choose from. I guess most girls will choose rose, but I prefer Lavender more! ^_^!!!

When she told me to turn over, I was like "HUH?!?!?!". I'm literally not wearing anything except for the small shorts they have given me. So asking me to turn over is like exposing myself to her (who I only knew for like an hour only). So I was quite reluctant, but no choice cause she was quite persistent in helping me to turn over. LOL! I was giggling throughout the whole front body massage. 

Anyway, after the whole body massage is the Green Tea body scrub followed by a milk cream moisturizing. The scrub was very comfortable, not painful at all. And when she put the milk cream on me, I felt like a baby again, with brand new skin! S.M.O.O.T.H! 

The last part and also the BEST part of the whole Spa is the Bubble bath with LOTS of flower petals in it! It's a like princess bath specially for you. HAHAHA! And they will pour more warm milk cream over you and leave you to play in the bathtub. ^_^! One word to describe: SHIOK! 

After the bubble bath, I showered away all the foams and milk followed by another full body moisturizing. HAHAHA! And this make me laugh even more cause it's even more itchy. LOL! I think the therapist must be thinking I'm a crazy girl.

Too bad I didn't take any pictures inside the Spa room. If not you will understand the feeling of being a princess! ^_^!!!

The small little details in around the shop makes me feel right at home here. :))) I just <3 these 3 little pigs! 

The whole Spa took around 2 hours, and the lady actually offer us a free ride back to the Villa because our driver had already went back for the day. Very good services from them, as they're very flexible in the arrangement for us.

A happy, fully-moisturized me, waiting for the ride home! :)))
Ohh, not to forget there was also a head massage with facial clean! See how bright my face is even without make-up! ^_^!!! (Or is just because of the lighting? >.<"")

Don't we all look SATISFIED? ^_^!!! 

Next post: Tanah Lot and Mount Batur, with more pictures on the Sunset and Sunrise! ^_^!!!

Ah Yat Seafood = a pocket in the jeans

Back to Ah Yat SEAFOOD! :)) HAHAHA! It was supposed to be a paint a$$ day followed by some really good food, but because now was the exam period, most of us couldn't make it for the event. So in the end we decided to just go for the good food instead. 

So here we are, at Ah Yat seafood, Turf City. (I drove down myself! *heex!*)
Yes, they're well-known for the abalone, but you can see for yourself, kids like us can't afford to enjoy these delicacies. HAHAHA! 

We ordered quite a lot of dishes, and not disappointed with any of them. You can check the photos out here

Another agenda on the list is also to celebrate the birthday boys. :)) After dinner dessert is the Bakerzin chocolate amer. Very sinful, but who cares. ^_^!!!
The birthday boys, and the whole group of us! :)

After dinner activities, discussing inside the car where to go next. After much consideration, we decided to go Henderson waves to enjoy the night scenery and breeze! :)) And that's where I first park my first parallel parking since I got my license. *LOL!* Not very good, but still the car is inside the slot. ^_^!!!

:) And I'm impressed with my camera because it's very dark at Henderwaves but still the shot manage to show our faces! :)) And while enjoying the breeze, we decided to go Genting on Voting day. *LOL!* This is how impromptu we are. *YAY!*

On a side note, I was half dead at the end of the day. Driving the whole day is very 累人.

So much of traveling plans......

:) I ♥ impromptu trips! Especially those that you decide right away and book the air tickets straight away! HAHAHA! This is what I called L.I.F.E! :))

I have all my traveling plans out for the next 3 months. Hotel and air tickets are booked. All I need to do now is to start saving for all these trips! ^_^!!! Something to look forward to keeps you going everyday. :)) Don't you agree?

And now, I'm looking forward to Election Day, not because I get to vote (for the 1st time!) but because I'm going for a road-trip to Genting right after that! ^_^!!!! Yes, we're going to drive up ourselves! YAY!!! I haven't been to Genting since I was in Primary 1 or 2. So I'm definitely excited about this trip, the cooling weather, the theme-park, the casino? HAHAHA! 

Just another 4 more days! *YAY!*

Delicious food, who doesn't like?

Indeed, a long weekend! I started with a bitter Friday, but ended with a sweetest Sunday! ^_^!!! Shall post more on the weekend in the next post! :)))

Anyway, right before the long weekend, we had a small gathering with my dearies and at the same time to celebrate Mr Lin's birthday! We decided to have potluck this time round since it will be easier to prepare food for the whole group of us. :)) Each of us bring a dish to Stuart's house to gather.

Japanese Curry & Lasagna - Stuart & Cindy :)))


Thai Pandan Chicken - Han, Pizza & wings - Qiaolin & Rong Kuan 

Finger food (Seaweed chicken & sausage cocktail) - Jingyuan, Pineapple rice - Miss Neo

Like I always say, the food is not the main lead in whatever event, but the company! And it's FABULOUS!

The ice-cream cake from Swensens, with the birthday boy! :))) 

We almost empty the whole table of food, with our stomach filled to the brim! -_-"" So it was time for some exercising! *LOL!* K.I.N.E.C.T! Damn tiring, playing the track and field + beach volley......but yeah, it's a very 互动 game since involves physical movement of the whole body. HAHAHA!

The last shots before we home sweet home :)

Thanks to Han, we save a trip home too! :)) Dearies gatherings never failed to make me a happy girl. :))))

More on the Ah Yat Seafood for the next post. ^^

Short getaway is always a bliss! :)))

Time to post some photos from the short getaway to Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia! If you read through the previous posts, you can more or less know what to expect there. HAHAHA! I mean KL is big, and I didn't get the chance to explore the whole place. It's not easy at all too, especially when I can't even speak simple Malay. -_-""

Aeroline Coach Services

I haven't tried their services before and through some friends heard that they actually provide similar services like when you're taking air flights. Something like serving you drinks and food on board by a suit guy. LOL! :)) Anyway, since we're curious about them, we decided to buy their 1-way ticket there for SGD49/person. 

The pick-up point is at Harborfront Center, which is nearer to my house since the usual pick-up point is at Golden Mile. Just checked in at their counter with the online reference number and you're ready to board the bus. Fast and easy.

It's a 26-seater double deck bus, with most of the passengers on the upper deck. 
My seat number with lots of space in front of me :)))

Indeed, it was super spacious that my legs can't even reach the floor. HAHAHA! I <3 it cause I get to swing them  around while reading my book. ^_^!!!

I can't believe I found an electric plug besides me too. It's super convenient if you are using the laptop for some work stuff. But I wonder where these electricity comes from. And they have the LCD screen in front of the bus for everyone to watch the movies. A bit too far for the passengers behind to see though.

Us on board the bus, waiting for our journey to start :))
The breakfast set served on board :) The food is so-so only, nothing special, but something to keep your stomach from growling. :))

The drop-off point is at Corus Hotel, which is nearer to KLCC rather than Bukit Bintang where our hotel is located. So we have to find another transport to take us back to Berjaya Times Square Hotel to check in. Lucky, we managed to find a 7-seater cab so we can travel together as a group. It's safer this way! ^_^!!!
 
Anyway, if you're interested in their services, you can check out their website here. 

Berjaya Times Square @ Bukit Bintang

The reception desk and lobby while waiting to check in. 

We booked 3 studio rooms but was told that 2 of the rooms were upgraded to a Family suite ^_^!! HAHAHAHA! Definitely very excited about it. 

The living room and the kitchen :) 

Very spacious living room, with the study table, dining table and TV. The kitchen is big, with the kettle and fridge. However, all the cabinets are empty which is a waste since they look good. Maybe they just want us to order room service. HAHAHA!

The kids' bedroom with a adjoining bathroom :) HAHAHA!

2 separate single beds for Honey and myself! :) We have our own bathroom too (without the bath tub though). HAHAHA! This way we don't have to share with the guys. LOL! :))) Anyway, the shower room and toilet is separated so we can use the bathroom together at the same time. There's a TV with a stereo system and a fridge inside the room.

Master bedroom with the bathroom (and bath tub)

The guys share the master bed, but each of them take turns sleeping on then sofa in the living room! HAHAHA! Just nice 3 nights, 3 guys.

 Our first meal in KL,  Krispy Kreme Donuts :)))

A simple meal to keep our stomach partial filled since it was already way passed the lunch hour. The other half of the stomach shall wait for the dinner. 

Some highlights of the trip (Day 1):

Fish Spa, aka getting bitten by fishes. LOL! 

:))) Trying to ignore the itchiness when the fishes nibble at your feet.

I always went back to this shop for their fish spa and foot reflexology whenever I'm in KL. If I didn't remember wrongly, the shop is "Best friend" and is located along the busy street of Bukit Bintang. Rates are really competitive, so just walked around before deciding on which shop to go to.

Lots of dead skin on the legs = more fishes biting you! ^_^!!!

Red BoX, which is similar to our Kbox! :)))

As requested by Han, we went in search of a place for him to show off his singing skills. HAHAHA! And we settle for Red BoX inside Low Yat Plaza, which is super near to our hotel (within walking distance). They served mid-night supper and we sang for around 5 hours for RM50 per person. Reasonable price.

Them singing, me listening. HAHAHA! I don't sing much (only when I'm in the shower -_-"")

By the time we're back to the hotel and ready for bed, it was already 5 plus in the morning. HAHAHA! Damn long day, and I knocked out the moment my head hit the pillow. ^_^!!!

I shall continue with the rest of the trip when I have the time to upload. But it will be soon! :)) Stay tuned!
