in and out of bali within 24 hours for a white wedding - 1

of course it is NOT my wedding la

the first time we receive the msg from boss,

announcing his 4 (FOUR!!!) prong wedding,

in Singapore, UK, Bali and Malaysia

i've already made up my mind to attend in Bali

i love attending weddings, of cos it means much more

to attend a wedding of someone u know,

but even if its complete stranger,

and even if its the marathon like chinese dinner

i still like it cos i like to look at lovely couples! teee heee...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

invitation says the wedding will be held in a private villa,

and the theme is white dress code

AND because there's currently alcohol shortage in Bali

(im amazed this can actually happened!!! READ IT HERE)

guests are encourage to bring vodka/gin/whiskey of their choice,

so we shopped at duty free in LCCT before catching our flight

yes, when we're paying at the cashier, we can hear our names

announced over the speakers, and we look like alcoholics, (>.<)

running towards the gates with Bacardi & Absolut Vodka in hand!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

o ya, we booked flights to Bali, just connie (colleague) & I,
departing from KL and arriving in Bali at 3pm.....
and departing from Bali approx 8am on Sunday!!!!!

thats exactly 16 hours in Bali!!!!!

FREAKING CRAZY the both of us????

in and out of Bali within 24 hours for a wedding dinner!!!!!

the whole reason is because these are the cheapest tickets,

im so giam siap to spend more for later tickets....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

its my first time to Indonesia, (GASP!)

there was ABSOLUTELY no time sight seeing!

we arrive, cab $15 to Paradiso Seminyak,

checked in $50, change into bikini + dress,

walk 5 mins towards east where the beach was,

EVERYONE thought we're japanese and keep asking

"Konnichiwa, Nihon-jin desu ka?"

i answered "Iie, Mareshia-jin desu"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

its a TOTALLY different beach that i knew from experience,

in Malaysia, nice beaches are typically.....

Sandy White Crystal Sang & Clear Blue Sea Shimmering

here, there are surfer dude & girls, looking so HOT.

stepping on to Seminyak beach, your feet sinks

into the very fine dark GREY sand, with silvery glitter,

it could be oil? since its called MINYAK (ie oil in Malay)

long stretch of shoreline and dark dark deep sea,

with at least 3 ft high wave crashing the shore,

and the smell is not of the tropical smell but of

faint cold chilly smell, speaking of CHILLY,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

thats my FAVORITE part of this beach,

the sinking evening sun is hot on your skin,

but the breeze is chilly! chilly as Gohtong Jaya point!

seriously!! we found a spot where we could lie down,

had to rent the chairs & bcos we wanted a massage too,

it was initially Rph60k just for the chairs to lie down!

but manage to bargain to Rph150k incl massage

for 2 person, thats about RM26 per pax only!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

this is the SECOND time i had a massage,

FIRST time was in Cambodia for Khmer Massage

which was very very ticklish for me so i had a fear,

but this time, i was tempted to go for a massage,

because the ladies look super experienced

and has big large hands that looks unticklish...

and it was worth every cent, we were there from

5pm - 6pm ish... enjoying drowsing to sleep,

my boss wedding is suppose to start at 5pm,

but anyway he says we can follow Indonesian time,

i take that meaning as it will start much later :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

really hungry after massage, cant wait till wedding dinner

so we ordered beef burger to share with the amazing

AVOCADO JUICE Rph17k, i miss this already.

after snacking we showered and get pretty in angelic white,

i had to wear connie's dress, thank god it fits,

cos i DO NOT HAVE any white outfit for this occasion,

took a cab Rph50k to Phalosa Villa in Batu Belig for

the beautiful & much awaited white wedding dinner....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i could not believe my eyes when i arrive ... it was 8pm,

the hidden private sanctuary amidst the dark night...

its a dream come true venue for a memorable evening....
