As mentioned earlier, we had our short and impromptu vacation to Bali in end August.
For this trip, we didn't really plan much; in fact, I didn't really do much 'homework' or research. I purely followed on with inputs from the travelling entourage.
There were six of us, and we stayed at The Haere villa at Seminyak area throughout our stay.
I would say the villa is okay only but the service is not bad.
Our itinerary is as follows:
Day 1: Touch down, checked in, lunch, Carrefour, A&W, chill in Villa
Day 2: Water sports, Waterbom Bali, Discovery Mall, A&W, chill in Villa
Day 3: Zoo, Luwak coffee purchase, lunch, Massage, chill in Villa
Day 4: Chill in Villa, checked out, Shopping Mall around Kuta Beach, massage, Airport
We also booked a driver to ferry us around for the 4 days. I would say our driver is quite nice except that he doesn't know much places to recommend us to. The above places are either activities that we said we wanna go or places we told him we wanna go and he just brought us there...
For the whole trip, I would say the most exciting and fun and worth the money to go to, is Waterbom Bali, a watersports part. It's clean, inexpensive, and queues are not so long.
We were also enticed to the Zoo but it was a great disappointment. Not only did we spent 3hours on the to&fro journey, the Zoo itself is a disappointment as well. It's sad to say that the driver didn't tell us anything when we said we wanna go to the zoo.

心情很灰 。
It's been more than a month since I last updated this personal space of mine.
A few things happened...
Kaelyn celebrated her first birthday.. I know. I haven't got the time to upload her pictures and make the 1 year photoframe for her... will do up another post for her birthday.. and about the venue. I am still waiting for replies...
Then, we had our impromptu trip to Bali, Indonesia last month. The company was fun; we went with the SIL, hubby's cousin, and a friend and colleague. Coincidentally, all of them has the same surname and I was like the odd-one-out.
However, the driver we engaged, though polite, he wasn't really familiar with the places and didn't really do any recommendations... he merely followed our instructions as to where we wanna go...
So all in all, if you asked me, I would still prefer Phuket to Bali.
Other than that, we celebrated Daddy's 57th Birthday!
As usual, it was a family dinner and the usual people are late.
Honestly, I was a little upset with Daddy's decision and the latecomers being late. I wanted to tell this to him but... well, I held back, for some reasons.
Anyway, I am penning down here... hoping you could read this...
We had agreed to meet at 7pm at the restaurant and I was told at 6.30pm, you were still at home, about to make your way to the restaurant. You don't stay 5mins away from the venue, do you?
This is not the first time that you were late for a family dinner...
Do you know? Most of the time you were late and there was a time we got so pissed, we actually arrange for your "time to meet" an hour earlier than what we have agreed on. Surprisingly you were 'on-time'! From that incident on, we thought, you can really be on time and we always tell you the 'real' time to meet...
p/s: of course on that day that you were on-time and us late, I know it's not a nice feeling that you were kept waiting and I hope you have realized that too...
I know you asked us to go ahead with the dinner first but Dad's wish is to start with everyone around because there were just too many times we started off the dinner without you! It's Dad's birthday and we respect his decision to respect you and your arrival.
It seems to me that you are just taking things/our family for granted. Do you arrange to meet your clients and be 45mins late? I know it is the traffic problem, you could be there earlier but do you not know it is peak hour and CTE/Lentor avenue area is bound to be slow traffic? And what about the fact that you were still at home at 6.30pm?
We tried to help you justify.. you are busy with work etc... but who is not... this probably shows that you are bad with time management.. and if you think you are not, then does it mean that you don't care.. you are taking us for granted?
The most basic respect for a person you have appointment with, is to be punctual. I guess we still can give for 5-10mins allowance. No bad feelings here... just hope that you understand my thoughts on your punctuality.
About today...
I woke up feeling emo~
I don't know why but everything seems so bleak..
