Welcome Ramadhan...

Back..to write again...:D

a bit late to write about it...but i just have a time now...hehehehe...

so, today is the 6th days of ramadhan...still have 24 days to welcome Ied Fitri...

First of all, i want to ask all of you ( who read it ) to forgive me...and hope our fast and worship can be accepted by God....Amin...:)

I dont know why, i just feel happy if Ramadhan come...:D
Besides this month is the month full of forgiveness from God,,there's something that i like in Ramadhan...the special drink...actually, we can find it when it's not Ramadhan...but it just has a difference taste when you drink it at the end of fast...for example; ice young coconut, ice tea, ice blewah ( kind of melon ), ice fruits ( there's pieces of melon, avocado, coconut, pear, and etc, added with ice and syrup..), and Kolak. Kolak is one of the first drink to end our fast. we can make it in another month, but usually we just make it in Ramadhan...and the taste is sweet...
and my fav is ice fruits...it's fresh, sweet and cold...:D
And when Ramadhan's time, i usually go to the market ( foodstall ) which only open in Ramadhan, to find traditional foods which rarely i eat..

So, happy Ramadhan...:D

.....

i shouldn't went to Bali last week...it should have this week..!! cuz secondhand serenade will be there...after they performed at Java Rock King Land...!!..huhuhuhuhu....want to meet them there...loools....

Summer Holiday in Bali Part 4

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009, was the last full day in Bali. So we decided to go to Tanah Lot and Tanjung Benoa. But before we went to that place, we went arround Legian street to looked for sandals and took a pictures at Ground Zero ( the place where the bomb had exploded in 2002 ) ...our hotel is soo near with ground zero...

after that, we started to go to Tanah Lot. Tanah Lot which means the land to the south.The temple Pura Tanah Lot, simple in its construction, is dramatic in its ocean-front location and is one of the main temples in the worship of Balinese gods. It was stifling but the wind so cold.

Then we went to Tanjung Benoa. we competed with time. It was already early evening, so we had to hurry to Tanjung Benoa. We wanted to do Banana Boat or water sport and saw sunset. But unfortunately, we late..:'(...the day was already evening. the sun has disappeared...and can't do any water sport, the wave and the winds blow so fast...:(,, so we just got back to hotel...
thats bad....we should earlier to go there...

We were back earlier to hotel, cuz we had to packing for tomorrow. We had to back to Jakarta in the morning....it's hard to leave Bali...i wanna go back..!!..:(

Summer Holiday in Bali Part 3

The third day ( August 1st, 2009 ).We planed to go to Sukawati and Gowang ( both are markets which provide anykind of souvenirs ) and Kintamani.

We went out at 10am. The distances between Sukawati and Legian( Kuta ), is far enough. it took 1 hour 30 minutes. Might be it's took long time, because we asked a lot to people...hehehe...

We bought some clothes, dresses, and body treatment at both places ( Gowang and Sukawati ) but of course with different prices. Gowang is cheaper then Sukawati...:D
Because of we were busy to shop,,so we didnt take a picture....hehehehe....

After we tired of shop, we went to Padang's food for lunch. Then, we continued our trip to Kintamani. Actually, we didnt know anything about Kintamani...so we just followed the street and asked again. Kintamani is soooooo faaar it's about 20 - 21 km from legian/kuta. The way to kintamani is soo scary, and no lamps at the evening...Thanks God, finally, we arrived at Kintamani. it was soooooo coooolllldddd....! but with a beautiful sight. here some pictures that we took at Kintamani.

we can't stand for a long time at Kintamani, besides the weather was soo cold, and it gonna be dark. We had to go down before dark....

After that, we were back to Kuta Square for dinner at 10.30pm, it was soo crowded cuz was saturday night. All people went out. After we done our dinner, we were back to hotel.

Summer Holiday in Bali Part 2

The second day was friday ( July 31, 2009 ).My friends said that i look thiner,so i said yeah cos i've lost my weight 5-6kg in 1 month,might be because of i've got sick (and hurts..lol..- i didnt say about it..)..

This day, we rent a car. For your information rent a car is very cheap in Bali, just 125.000 rupiahs per day ( 24 hours ),but if you want to use the driver it will be 170.000 rupiahs. The car we rent was Suzuki Karimun, because we just 4 and we dont need a big car, so we choosed Karimun.

We went to the hotel's restaurant to have breakfast then we waited for Indah's mom at the lobby.
Our destinations for that day was Uluwatu, Dreamland and dinner at Jimbaran beach.
Before we went to all that places, we didnt forget to take a pictures....:D

After took some pictures, our adventure started. It was our first time in Bali, we didnt know Bali areas, but we took a risks to drive to our destinations by ourselves. We just looked at on the map and read the sign on the streets to be come in the destination. Actually, it's not hard to find some tourism object in Bali, because the signs is everywhere, but sometimes u have to ask somebody or bali people, and they will explain the route to ur destination. Generally, Bali's people can speak english good enough.

We came to Uluwatu as our first destination. Uluwatu is a temple with the beautiful sight. Pura Luhur Uluwatu temple is an architectural wonder in black coral rock, beautifully designed with spectacular views. But, becareful with the monkeys who live in this area. They can take your sun glasses or camera or handphone or wallet, so hold your things very tight or it's better to not bring much things. Then, an important thing is when you want to enter Uluwatu temple, u should dress properly. If u wear a short pants or short skirts, u should use "kain" likes a saroong.

Felt satisfied in Uluwatu, we moved to Dreamland ( Pecatu Indah Resort ). This is a beach. A beautiful beach. Kuta is nothing, if we compare with this beach, at least that was on our minds. So cool, calm, blue water, clean, and awesome. We love this Beach....it's a true dream land...:D








From Dreamland, we felt hungry, so we had lunch at KFC and take a rest for a while...There is a free internet service for the customer too.
After that, we went to GWK ( Garuda Wishnu Kencana ) to saw dance performances at 6.30pm. So, before that we just took a rest for awhile and took some pictures also...:D






Even if we felt exhausted, we still continued our journey to Jimbaran Beach for dinner. Yeeaayy..it was time for dinner. Jimbaran provide anykind of seafood and Steak. We choosed to eat seafood, Fish and Shrimps and for the beverages was young coconut. It just perfect dinner at the beach....








The time had shown 11.00pm,,and it was the time for us to go back to Hotel. It took about 1 hour to Legian ( location of our Hotel ). This day is the coolest day than the other day...:D
So happy to had that day...thanx God...:D

Summer Holiday in Bali Part 1

finally, i'm home...but still wanna be in Bali...it was an awesome holiday and it was our first time in Bali..lol

i went to Bali on Thursday morning ( July 30,2009 ) and the flight was 11.30pm, so i must arrived at the airport 2 hours earlier. i went with Asri from my house then we took a cab to go there. At the airport, Indah already came, so we went to check in. At that day, the airport was so crowded, i think there's so much people wanted to go to out of town. After waited for 30 minutes, finally we went. On the plane, we took a pictures, ate, and had a chat. It took 1 hour 30 minutes from Jakarta to Bali

.

we've arrived at Ngurah Rai airport ( Bali ) at 2pm. Bali's time is 1 hour ahead from Jakarta's time.
after we've got our luggages, we had lunch at Solaria in Airport. Then, we looked for the cab to took us to the Hotel. Indah's mom said the distance between the hotel and the airport is not far, so if we took a cab, it would be very cheap. But, in fact we had to pay 45.000 rupiahs for it. it's really near, might be about 2 or 3 km from the airport. That was a cab's airport, we can't used the other cab from the airport. Then, we've just laughed for it.lol.

We've arrived at Boutique Hotel, we took a rest for awhile then pray, and didnt forget take a pictures.hehehe...when we layed down on bed, we found a map about the street arround the hotel. The distances between one street to the other street is so near. So, we decided to went out.

First destination, we went to Segara Beach. We walked to go there and took some pictures as well. we were so amazed that there's so many dogs on the street in Bali. So, if there's a dog in front of us, we prefer to across the street, we always avoid the dogs. hehehe...to be honest, we're scared with dog. hehehehe....




The distance between the Hotel and Segara beach is not so far. It's appropiates with the distance on map. So, we played for awhile at Segara. Segara Beach is not crowded. just some people, i dont know why, maybe because it was already evening or people choose Kuta beach than Segara..But segara beach is not a bad beach..it's good enough. :D

After we played for a while, we continued our adventure to Kuta Beach by foot, because we believe with the distance on map.
We walked and sometimes took a pictures..we dont care about the others say...we've just had fun. when we walked, we met a lot of foreigners from western and asia. But most of them, i think from west. So much handsome guys and beautiful girls there...we just enjoyed what we see...lool...

Suddenly, we realized that we've walked so far , but we didnt see the beach yet, and it was already 7.30 pm so we decided to go back to the hotel by Delman ( horse drawn )...

At the hotel, we pray again then Indah's mom asked us to have dinner...! Yeeaayy...we went out again to find the restaurant, but at this time, ( because we've known it's far ) we went by a cab.
When we're in Bali, especially for the muslim, we have to becareful with all the foods, because so much foods is not allowed to eat ( for muslim ), so it's better to eat fast food or seafood. Before we had our supper, we walked to look some thing at some store. Then Finally, it's time to eat, and we choosed to eat Padang's food ( indonesian food ). The food taste is very delicious, very tasty..yuummy...:D

The time already shown 10.30pm, we decided to go back to hotel. All the stores in Kuta and Legian already closed at 11.00pm, except the night life. Because we dont like the night life and house music and to be in the stupid situation at club,,we go back to hotel. NEVER across in our mind especially in my mind to try entry the club even if just ONCE time.

it's already at 11.00 pm and it's time take a rest....
