The next weekend after the Penang Hen Nights,
Nijoh went to Beautiful Bali for her office trip!
...Ahhh.. BALI..
One of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. Period.
But I haven't been around much, so..
FYI, the pictures in this entry tak ikut sequence, cuz I'm tired, what, with the Penang trip the previous weekend. So I'm friggin lazy after 2 whole weekends of jalan-jalan. My life is so full of sand and sea right now..
Above left: We were treated like royalties right from the start. Note the garlands on Kak Tini, Mr. Syed (the world's most sporting Boss), me and Ah Ong.
Above right: The view from my balcony. Another FYI, the buildings there are prohibited from being taller than coconut trees. Seriously!
This is my room, which I share with Kak Faridah. Day 2, we watched the theatre. Sangatlah tak paham cuz it was in sanskrit (I think), and ada some parts yang lucah plak, one of which, one character nyanyi lagu 'happy birthday' to another character's erect penis whilst he was lying down. Tetibe!

The dancers and me at the stage, in front of the mini kuil. Almost all houses, shops and offices have its own kuil, usually more intricate and beautiful than the main building itself.
Above left: My butt.
Above right: Sunset at Tanah Lot. Peeps, this is THE place to visit before you die. The view of the sunset is utterly butterly amazing...
Above right: Teh Botol, Coca-Cola's main competitor in Indon. Gile sedap! While other people were chugging the famous Bintang beer, I was chugging on Teh Botol all the way.
Above right: Mr. Syed tengah ekshen nak tunjuk skill blowing mini loops from his cigarrette smoke. Eleh, tak jadi pon.
Above right: This is the offering the Hindus give to their Gods. Like other offerings, intricately made out of leaves.
Above middle: One of the Mahabhrata monuments at the Spring Temple.
Above right: This is the holy water for the Bali Hindus. Whilst there, we were lucky enough to witness the post-Hari Raya for the Hindus, called 'Galungan & Kuningan'.
Above left: Walking along the Kuta beach with Bart and Ong (on camera), while the rest of the lawyers hit the spa. There I am again, getting drunk on my Teh Botol.
Above right: If you like paintings but can't really afford it, come to Sukawati. I bought mine for RM20-RM30 a piece, and it's huge!
Above left: On the mini van towards Sukawati for shopping, with Kak Tini and Mr. Syed. Bart on camera.
Above right: Sudanese Rice. Gile sedap.. GILE SEDAP!!! The cylinder-shaped banana leaf is where the rice is, there's soup, crunchy ikan goreng, sambal belacan, ayam goreng and ulam. For drinks, air kelapa and jasmine tea. And peeps, you don't have to worry about finding halal food there. It's everywhere.
Above left: We were dragged around to help Bart look for his spandex at Matahari shopping complex. [He's gonna kill me for showing this picture!]
Above right: Making my way to watch the sunset at Tanah Lot. There's Chew with the cream-coloured cap, sneezing.
Apa lagi! Posing maut la kitorang! This is still at Tanah Lot, waiting for the sunset.
Above left: Teringin nak pose macam tiki tu. After seeing this picture, one of my friends tanye: "AIyah! You baru jatuh ke?" Seems like it, kan?
Above right: Silhouette of us and our Teh Botols again. [Sorry, peeps, sangat suka Teh Botol dan sangat rindu Teh Botol]
The kampung side of Bali.
The first night, our Big Boss treated us to Hard Rock Cafe. Gile mahal, per entry you have to buy a drink. So my Boss bought Jack Daniels and Coke for the 10-15 of us, which cost IND$1.4 million, which is about RM480 per entry! Gilo! And don't worry, Nijoh drank Coke aje okay!
And I SWEAR, I took a picture with Glenn Fredly that night. But since the club was dark, the picture turned out pitch black! There's no point in showing you peeps. Kalau nak tengok sangat, gi tengok gambar kaler hitam, sama je. He was there to teman his gorgeous wife, Dewi Sandra, perform. Boy, she can sing!
So there, some clean pictures to show you. Some other pictures, not so clean, heh! I"ll just leave you to your imagination.
URGH! Can't wait to go to Bali again!!!!
Next year, the office trip would probably be at China (yawn) or Perth (expensive). I'll try to push for the next trip to be at Bali again.
I can't stop thinking about Bali! Kepada kawang-kawang yang tengah gatal nak kawen (hehe! takde la), gi la honeymoon kat situ. Gi la.. Pastu bawak balik kat aku selipar satu, na?
NEW ENTRY:
More Bali Pix!
Saje nak ekshen dekat blog sendiri. Haha! Nyampah tau!
Above left: Shahrul showing me the ways to "Cho Tai Ti" [I think that's what the card game is called] in flight to Bali
Above right: Another mesmerizing view. Sigh... Memang a surfer's paradise. Not that I surf.
Above left: The fish jadi dragon! One of the meals eaten together with the Sudanese Rice. Hebat tak? Gile crunchy!
Above right: One of our dinners.
Above left: With Hong Kait and Alvin. Hong Kait is the one responsible for all my incriminating pictures (which would never be shown here. Ha!)
Above right: Dewi Sandra performing.
Above left: On our way back, at Ngurah Rai Airport.
Above right: Another one of Nijoh's futile attempt to look cool.
Above left: With STWD-ians at one of the shopping places they bought us. Gile mahal!
Above right: With Kak Tini, proudly showing our bus.
Above left: Shahrul's dream hairdo.
Above right: I'm so glad Kak Tini recommended those original glazed Krispy Kreme Donuts to be bought home from Bali. Gile best! Aku beli sedozen!
Above left: Ong nak bunuh diri. Jangan Ong! Jangan! kita boleh runding!
Above right: This picture seems so right.. Life IS fair!
Above left: A night of gambling. Akuk jadi tukang cong yang agak suey.
Above right: This dinner was so cool. A dish of barbeque-d seafood, with tables set just a few metres from the sea.
Above left: Blo posing, with sunset as his background.
Above right: I was so damn happy, tahap tekinja-kinja!
Above: Okay, this, I've nothing to say.
So there you have it - Bali.
Selain menyediakan Sup Tulang Buntut Lunak, Sate Kambing Gule, Babi Guling dan Semen Tiga Roda, Bali juga menyediakan view yang sangat Subhanallah and culture yang sangat Wow. Rugi kalau tak pergi.
