Lampung trip day 1

December 26, 2011

My 2nd time went to Lampung, but this time I went for a little adventurous trip.
I took sriwijaya airlines to flew me to Lampung. My flight suppose to be depart at 7.45 but as usual, it was delay, then I was thinking and made a dots if our flight not delay then it's not Indonesia. First announcement my flight will depart at 8 o'clock in the morning, so I've waited about 15 minuets but there wasn't a sign show that I will depart at 8am. 10 minutes pass, there was another announcement that we delay until 8.40. OMG....why they always delay????
Then my watch showed 8.40, another announcement that passengers may enter the gate proceed to the aircraft. Let's fasten your seatbelt and we ready to take off.
I arrived in Raden Intan airport around 9.15 in the morning, my friend Yova has arrived in the airport waiting for me. It's been a long we haven't met.

My first destination once i arrived, we ate at bakso haji soni, located in Jl.Walter mongisidi.
Woww this bakso very nyummm,big and crunchy. The soup was tasty and the chilli super hot !!
Unfortunately, I forgot to take the pictures lol busy by eating my bakso lol :p

After finished our breakfast, Yova took me to her house to drop my baggage. I had a few chit chat with her parent. Around 12 in the noon we start our adventure. First stop we went to Klara beach, actually we want go to Mutun beach but we missed the way. On the way to Klara beach there's only a hills, green hills, which is I can't get it in Jakarta. It only took about 30 minutes from Yova's house to Klara beach.

Wheater wasnt friendly this afternoon. It was cloudy and the wind blowing pretty strong so we coouldn't get a good pictures of the beach. Around 1 pm we arrived at Klara beach. There is an entrance fee for car Rp 30,000. It's pretty weird, they collect for the entrance fee but they do not take care carefully of the beach.

Once in the port, we decided to go to the island right in front of the Klara beach. It called Legian island. We need to ride the jukung to get there. Jukung is a small boat like fisherman boat but smaller than that. Usually tourist need to pay Rp 20,000 to cross the island for one way. But this trip we pay Rp 100,000 for return and private boat.

It took about 20 minutes to get to Legian island. Around 20 meters from the island, I could see the beautiful white sands from my jukung.

Our jukung

View from Legian Island

When we were there, there are not so many tourist. All I can say about this island is beautiful. White sands, clear blue water, it's like untouched island. Unfortunately, there were some rubbish cause the local people built some cottage for tourist.

We came back to Klara beach around 5 pm, we ride the same jukung, but in the middle on the way back, our machine had a problem, it was stop!!! Haaaaaa we floating in the middle of the ocean hahahahahahah pretty scare but it was fun :)

At the night, we heading to one of the seafood restaurant, 'kampung seafood' for our dinner. As usual, we order crab and squid. The price is very cheap compare to jakarta!!!!

during our dinner, we discuss what we gonna do for tomorrow. We planning to go to krakatau mountain. I was very excited for my 2nd day!!!

How to save a life

How to save a life by the fray...
I heard this song this morning and it reminds me of you...

One shit day

Yeah...today 12.12.11 was a shit day ever....
Almost had an accident, hit and run by motorcycle, heavy rain so traffic jam happened
And the worst scenario, cindy scold me which is from 1st floor the the 3rd floor can hear what she said...
And she cold me in front of that bitch!!!!!!!! Made her more laugh on me...fuck u bitch!!!
I feel so damn tired...yes I wasn't respect to her but I'm trying to work as hard as I could, that wasn't enough???
Are u a person who are crazy for respect???

Big dilema

I am totally in a big dilemma and I'm afraid to leaving my comfort zone.
Yeah, I was talking about should I move or not. First of all, I just got my chemistry with my job, I slowly deeply in love with this job, for sure I didn't have any problem with what I'm doing. The other hands, I just can't stand with this bloody emotional undescribe feeling. Yes, I'm afraid right now and obviously in the big dilemma. Should I really move????
Oh ghoshhhhh...in life why we have to facing with a hard decision? My only problem is I just can't stand with how she treat me, with her attitude, if she could change a little bit back to like she used to be then I should be ok.
What you gonna do if you were me? Which one you will keep it, professionalism or emotional feeling?
Someone, can help me to solve this problem?????
Seriously, my heart pounding faster as it used to be...:( :(

Touring day 5

My last day in Bali (November 9,2011)

I woke up around 8am and I didn't want to move my ass from comfort bed and warm blanky. Let say straight to the point that I didn't want to go back to Jakarta. I love this place....

But, time ticking so fast, I need to get up from my bed then packed my things. Meanwhile, Helen went to airport to pick up Shella. They came to attend Jason Mraz little concert. So, during that time, I just enjoyed my time with having a sucks breakfast, watching star movies and take my time for shower. Around 11 pm, Helen back to to the hotel.

Our first stop is POTATO HEAD. Yeahhh...againnnn for my 2nd time visited potato head. The funny thing is one of the waiter remember me so well. That waiter recommend me one of a good cocktail on my first visit. It taste like kahlua latte, but I couldn't re-call whats the ingredients. Anyway, on my 2nd visit with Helen, Shella, her brother and her cousin, I order granny apple crumble for dessert. Sit back, relax and enjoy my dessert !!! nothing can compare with for this time, lucky, the sky was very friendly with us.

Before they dropped me at the airport, we went to W resort for my 2nd time too!! But this time, I had my lunch. I ordered for wagyu in the hot stone, it was very very very expensive TT___TT LOL but nothing much I can do since there was enough time for me to grab cheap lunch. So at that time, I was thinking lets spend my last day with a good thing :)

so around 3 pm we were heading to airport. On the way to airport, I was trying to find Pie susu at Krisna but I couldn't find it. So I went back to Jakarta with anything for anyone. Sorry guys :(

After saying good bye and see you guys in Jakarta, I go to the check in counter, lucky my flight wasn't delay. So after check-in I went straight away to the boarding room. About 30 minutes waiting for my flight call, then I Que to hop to the aircraft but suddenly sky start to rain :( hmm means I could sleep well in the aircraft.

Plane was about to take off after 30 minutes preparation mark my holiday was over, it's time to say goodbye with Bali. For sure, I will come back for him. See you next time Bali :)

Touring day 4

Day 4th in Bali

Today, Nena and Ochin going back to Jakarta. After having another big breakfast, we went to Ayana resort first to see Rock bar. We planned to go there yesterday but we run out of time so we decided to go there before nena and ochin went back. At the first time, I thought Ayana will be having a simple and chic modern design but as I can see from their lobby, the concept about Balinese traditional. As I can see, they having a huge garden, Green everywhere.

Walk along the aisle, we reach the path way to Rock bar. We need to walk down the stairs until we found kind of cable rail. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't friendly with us, it was raining all day long.

stunning deep blue ocean

Before I dropped Nena and Ochin to airport, we had quick lunch at Babi Guling at Denpasar. I forgot the name of this warung. To be honest I didn't like it, taste weird hahaha but this dishes comes with a very nyummy soup.

Babi guling, beef satay, Lawar and mix vegetable

Dropped Nena and Ochin at the airport done. Just Helen and I left. So we were heading to Bulgari Hotel for having hightea. There is no reception desk at Bulgari like other hotels commonly have, but there is only one desk with one lady. It was more like car call desk :p So I told her that I've book for hightea and right away we've escort the the main lobby again and hop in to golf cart. In this resort, you need to ride golf cart to get anywhere, well you can walk but from one place to another place is quite far and the way is up and down.

Finished our high tea, we heading back to our hotel. Helen and I move to Astana Kunti Apartment. Located in Dewi Saraswati III, Seminyak. The design is about white. They having a unique and nice wardrobe.

Touring day 3

My 3rd day in Bali (November 6,2011)

We start our day by tracing Kuta area. We walked quite far starting from body and soul factory outlet and end up at surfer girl near to 'zero ground'. We did shopping =) We spent a lot of time in suffer girl shop. I don't know why but I think Surfer girl is very cute. Nena, Ochin bought some stuff from here. Meanwhile, I wait for Helen to come right away from airport.

Shopping session is over, it's time for lunch. We were back to Seminyak area and we stopped at Warung Itali. This warung serving nice, tasty and cheap Italian food. It's located in Jalan Kunti, Seminyak. Four of us order different food. Nena order for spagethii bolognise, Ochin order for Vongole, Helen order for Ravioli and I order for Spagethii marinara and we didn't miss to order some pizza. This place really looks like 'Warung' as in very traditional interior but this place has been famous with their tasty food and price.

Vongole

Spaghetti Marinara

Fill enough our tummy with delicious and nyum Italian food, we continue our day to chill at Potato head (Jl. Petitenget, Seminyak). They have a very unique design.

Using many old and unused windows for their design

Pool for splash party !

Potato head having a direct access to Petitenget beach. Unfortunately it was raining so we can't sit at the outside but we are lucky enough we can get a hot spot in here even though it was raining. Here is the sneak peak of the beach with a gloom and cloudy sky.

Around 4pm we decided to move to W bar and hotel. It's located right next to potato head. You can walk from the beach or you can do it from main area. Since we were coming with driver, so we went there from main area. First impression when I stepped down my foot at their lobby was it's a classy hotel. Money doesn't lie. This hotel equip with a famous furniture and interior.Straight away, we heading to their restaurant 'Star Fish Bloo'. This restaurant equip with a giant birdcage as their decoration.

my afternoon tea

Before we end up our day, we were having seafood dinner at Jimbaran for sure. Feels like my holiday will not complete without having a dinner at Jimbaran. So Helen's parent took us here for dinner. Nothing much to say for this dinner except we need to wait about 45 minutes for our food!! Geez... I was dying to die from starving hahahahaha
