Went to find my aunt for facial because idk why pimples are just popping like popcorns. Crazy a lot. 

I saw this article yesterday on fb and thought like WOW! I'll be there the next day and I'm so going to ta bao it home. And I did. Haha. Actually I've been eating from this stall since young and I really love it a lot. I used to drive down to eat when I was studying in NUS because it was so near. 

Now that I'm forever in Yishun, I hardly eat it anymore. My sister 有口福了 cos I tabao for her too!

This is where we will be staying in June at Bali. Really v luxurious. The previous times that we'd been there, we were poor students so we couldn't afford to stay in nice hotels. #dayretravel

Work is so draining these days. I really feel very sian to come to work. I guess everyone feels the same way. Haha. I cannot imagine people working in the same environment or doing the same thing for their whole life. 

I wonder
I'm on my way to town to meet my jc classmates now and the cab uncle is driving at 130km/h. Omg. Hanging on to my dear life. Seat belt on!

I was playing with the cube the whole ofast Sunday trying to learn how to solve it. It was so frustrating when you can't get that particular piece the position you want it to be.
And then my student told me I can find some kind of formula online and just follow it. 

Voila! 

I completed it in less than an hour after finding the formula. 

Not that hard la. Hahahaha

4th time in Bali, 1st time in Uluwatu Part 1

/DAY 1/

Day 1 in Bali is basically chill and relax before the crazy day 2.

We arrived at around 12pm, had our lunch at the airport because we were starving. The food wasnt good but beggars can't be choosers so whatever la. 

We were trying to find the Blue Bird counter because everyone knows that only blue bird won't cheat your money cos they go my meter. But we couldn't find one. 

Raymond suggested to go to the departure drop off and see if we can just get one there. Indeed, we did.
We arrived at Anantara around 2 ish I think. I can't remember. The room wasn't ready so we went to the bar by the pool to redeem our free young coconut which wasn't that young.
Our not so young coconut that took me ages to scrap the flesh off. I see muscle growing in my forearm. Hahaha 

Ray, on the other hand, just heck care and didn't bother eating the flesh at all. He was so amazed by the ocean view and kept taking tons of pictures. 

I was melting so I hid at any shelter I could find.
The resort is not exactly accessible so they had complimentary services to send the guests to 2 places of interests in the area.
The room is bigger than expected. We booked the cheapest ocean view room we could find on the Web. 

I wanted to stay in one of the villas that we might hold our wedding in but it was a garden suite and he didnt want it. Oh well, not bad ba.
Little details that hotel do really impress me.
The toilet is huge too.
And we had a jacuzzi to ourselves! We made use of it and soaked twice. Never waste our money heehee
The ocean view from our room. I think most of the rooms will have this view so I don't know what's the point of saying this is a ocean view suite.
Little details that I was saying.
🐘
They even gave us a drawing block in the room should we feel inspired and artistic to draw the sunset haha
After nuaing for like a few hours, we found a nice restaurant at Jimbaran. 

Cuca restaurant. 

They serve in tapas size so you can share with others and they were all very special! 

I especially love the dessert. Mint ice cream with chocolates and choc croutons. It tasted like they just made the ice cream fresh.
/Day 2/

We woke up at 7 so that we can grab breakfast before going for site inspection. I don't know why they call it site inspection, it sounds like we are going to find some faults with the place. 

Breakfast was so so but there was a rainbow! It rained, which is unusual at this time of the year, so it was pretty cooling in the morning. 

We met Stacey, the wedding planner, and headed off to our first venue, Latitude.
We didn't really fancy Latitude. It was nice but not what we were looking for.
The feeling was just not there. It felt too open for me like the villas are spread all over the place. There is an area for people to come together but it just didn't feel right.
And they didn't trim the grass and there were bald patch here and there. Bad impression.
Next stop was at Khayangan Estate. This is also a pretty small villa. Very private. But this is Javanese style which was not really my cup of tea.
However, the place is no doubt very beautiful. Tbh, all the villas had extremely breathtaking view. They were all cliff top villas facing the ocean.
Just look at this. You cant even see the other end. Not like Singapore. Haha.
The next one, which is most likely the one, is The Ungasan. It used to be called Semara. 

This was actually the one that I really wanted but I thought since I'm paying someone to bring me around, why not visit them all. 

They have quite a few villas here but each of them are different. They are all separated so you wouldn't feel like other people are intruding in your event.
I love how the grass is so green and they all look alive.
As you can see from the number of photos, we really like this one the most. We visited 3 different villas here.
They have their own private beach where you have to pay a fee to get to if you're not staying at the villa. There are many steps and one elevator to help you get down. 

There's also a bar/restaurant below which we thought we could have a small gathering either before/after the wedding with our guests.
Also, I fell in love with this walkway in the last villa we visited at The Ungasan. I didn't tell ray how much I loved it. 

I could already picture myself walking down this walkway which is flooded with natural sunlight. 

The planner was also helping me visualise everything by saying how the bridesmaids will walk down first so that the photographers can get good photos of each of them. 

In the middle, the father, which I corrected myself as I was repeating after him, the mother, will walk
Down with the bride. Then, the groomsmen will be at the end joining the bridesmaids and walking towards the ceremony place or whatever it's called. 

Omg. This is so my #dayrebride moment.
The view is definitely super picturesque. They also have their own beach but according to the intern who brought us around, you have to take 600 steps. No elevator. Urrghh. I can't.
After The One, haha, we went to the last location. Also known to be the most chio location before we made our trip. 

The Alila. 

It is a resort so it wasn't as private as I want it to be. It is chio but with so many tourists walking around, it's not that chio anymore. 

#dayretravel
Ok, this multiple upload thingy kept screwing things up. I'm not going to use it anymore or edit the post. Too tiring.
We got back to the hotel to rest after the viewing. It was so tiring. We actually wanted to go to padang padang beach but fell asleep until 6 plus. 

We forgot to call for a blue bird and had to use the hotel transport to go back to Alila to meet my uni friend for dinner. Coincidentally, he went back to celebrate his mother's birthday this week. So, we decided to meet up for dinner and he suggested Alila. 

It's Indonesian fine dining and my duck was so good. But expensive.
