After As was spent going out occasionally for some prom shoes shopping, movies. Prom was on 7 dec at marina mandarin. Xiwen came over to my place to do nails, head over to my regular hair salon, then back again to change and make up with help from my sis. Prom was okay.. rather entertaining games, so-so dinner, and as expected, lots of phototaking. People were literally swarming the entire area outside the ballroom for hours just taking photos or hanging around! Not very fun to squeeze among the crowd. We left for timbre are raffles place for some drinks! not bad at all (: first time out so late with the girls. They then came over to my place for a short sleep over, it was about 1am by then. Washed up and started checking out fb abit before getting hooked on wii raving rabbits for about 3hours plus, and we ended up sleeping at 5plus AM. coolness ;) Tong left at 7plus AM cos her dad came to pick her, wen and I slept in till 9AM before she left and my family left for the airport to go to BALIIII!!!
Bali was fun, 5days 4 nights free and easy. We booked local tours for 2 days, shopped and scouted for good food for 2 days, left on the last day. Well it was a very fruitful trip cos I did many things that I've never tried before! First day, we arrived in the evening, so just went to some marketplace near grand hyatt to shop abit and have dinner. Btw, grand hyatt was lovely and peaceful (: Such a good treat and getaway from my 4 years of mugging.
Second day was sea sports, we tried out the sea walker which was awesome, the banana boat, jetski and the flying fish. Went back to the hotel for swimming, and went to another shopping street at night.
Third day, we went for white water rafting someplace far away. It was incredibly tiring climbing up and down the cliff just to get to the river! After that we went to a coffee plantation, wood carving store, and finally a balinese spa/body massage. Totally traumatising. I wasn't exactly enjoying it, so I doubt I'll go for another one like this again :/ Went to hard rock cafe for dinner.
Fourth day was resting day, so we spent the day shopping again for local stuff, before going back to the hotel to swim again, then heading for grilled seafood by the beach. What a wonderful atmosphere it was. The sun setting in the distance, the sand under your feet, candles lit on all the tables fully occupied, balinese dance, and fireworks in the dark sky. Oh and not to forget, a mug of beer to accompany all this. I could stay there longer really. Fifth day was back to singapore, man. Well, all things has its end, I'll be looking forward to my next overseas trip!
