Bali Indonesia 2017

Hello bloggers and faithful readers,

I have been meaning to post this up since I got back from Bali and Europe, however I didn't have much time as I was sorting things out due to what had happened which I will tell you in a bit. I was in Indonesia for about a week and went to Kuta, Bali and as well as Gili Trawangan. So let's get started shall we?

HOW TO GET TO BALI;
The only way from Malaysia to Bali is flying therefore I've managed to get some really good deals off Air Asia.
PEN-KUL-DPS (Denpasar)
Return for RM 550

HOW TO  GET TO GILI;
There are many tour desk around in Kuta that could bring you all the way to Gili (Air, Trawangan or Meno). Price range up to RUPIAH 2mil. Cheaper = Slower. We got the mid range which was actually perfect.

RUP3mil return Kuta-Gili Trawangan.
Most of the time they fetch you from your hotel/hostel door step and you are own your way!

WHERE TO STAY;
KUTA; Know your mission in Kuta, if you plan on partying like I did, we stayed right next to Sky Garden (party place) called

J4 Legian Hotel.
Its a nice 4-star hotel but with an affordable price I would say. About RUP9mil for 3days and you can share the room with another friend. So I guess its pretty decent. Breakfast for additional RUP600K. Breakfast is great. Choice of food are fairly good and the pool is great! Worth the money.

Otherwise if you have no idea what you want, its best to stay at LEGIAN street. All the pubs, cafe, shop are at the street.

GILI TRAWANGAN;
If you are more of the hustle and bustle, you would like to stay at the main street of Gili. If not you can always rent a bicycle and stay further up from the centre like I did.
Stayed in a small place called Small But Strong Lumbung. Host is amazing and they serve breakfast too for 4days only for RUP3Mil

WHAT TO DO;
KUTA

• Shop
• Enjoy the ambience cafe
• Learn how to surf in Kuta beach (personally I think its only worth it if you stay longer than 3 days in Kuta, because one lesson cant teach you much)
• Chill by the beach
• Party in Sky Garden (Its a big complex that serves a all-you-can-eat and drink everyday and a club past 11pm)
• Enjoy the night life

GILI TRAWANGAN

• Scuba Dive with Manta Dive school (They are amazing and its worth it, atleast 2 dives)
• Enjoy the beach
• If you are not a scuba junkie, go snorkelling.
  (Beware that there are so many people in a group, everyone wants to see a turtle and kicking in your face is a common thing. No offence, especially of those who cant really swim. :( )
• Go snorkelling because at least they made up to you by taking you to all 3 Gili's and lunch at Gili Air is definitely worth a kick on the face. Gili Air is AMAZING
• Free diving
• Cycle
• Eat seafood
• Enjoy the chill lifestyle
• Shisha if you'd like
• Live for the moment

WHAT NOT TO DO IN BALI/GILI;

• DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT USE their ATM because SCAM and DUPS of ATM is so common in Indonesia.
• My travels have so far been great until when I was on the train to London (this wass a week after Bali) that someone DUPLICATED my card and withdraw ALL (I mean ALL) my money from my bank acc.
• So change enough Rupiah to last you for your whole trip
• DO NOT get scam by taxi drivers or anyone in general
• Leave your things unattended

I guess on every trip I have been, I said I have learnt more about myself and the experience was great, I guess I say it again, THANK YOU Indonesia for teaching me to adult even more than I already am and that some times some things are out of my control.

Otherwise, life life to the fullest, travel and adventures! 

Till next time!

Say Hi to my main man :)

New Adevntures

Ola mi amigos con mi amigas,

So sorry for the super late update (as always) but there really isn't much that has been going on in my life apart from work and daily routines the past months. Anyway, I am here today to update a little on what has been going on and the plans ahead.

The last few months, I had a great time doing my internship and learning so many new things. Today marks my last day here at Eastern & Oriental Berhad and I am grateful and thankful for all the opportunity, trust and care that was showered on me. Everything felt right and I am in the right place at the right moment for this internship.

However, things are at the finish line and I am happy to say that my future career has been filled with abundant of choices with the privilege to choose what is best for me and my future. I have no one to thank but Him for all the blessing He had showered upon me and I am very excited for what lies ahead of me. I am up for the challenge and ready to roll.

But first, let me indulge myself into a month of self-rejuvenating activities that I love most; travel, beach, sun and sea. To top it off, Bali-Gili in two weeks! Travel tips and updates on it soon. I promise!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a nice day ahead, have faith and just believe.

P/s; I finally decide to have a public Instagram account.

The End of University Life

Hey Bloggers/Readers,

Its been half a year since my last blog. Last 6 months had been a really busy one for me as I venture into my Final Year Project as a Project Director and that I didn't travel to anywhere expect Phi Phi Island (which I have blogged about).

Having some spare time today, I thought of just updating everyone of what I have been up
to. Other than my final year project come to an end with a bang thanks to my ever loving team (drama or no drama happening team), I learn that we can never please everyone in a team and that there will always be one person who would try to mess things up. But, that is life. We all learn from our mistakes. I learn that most from the project.

I also cant believe that my university life is ending so soon. Now, I am currently doing an internship with Eastern & Oriental Berhad here in Penang. Not the hotel but the managing company who owns the hotel :) It has been quite a ride doing my internship. I learn that I am actually practicing what I have learn in University, which is great! 2 more month and its time I hot adulthood, finding a job and making it into career life.

Relationship wise, I have a perfectly steady relationship with a man whom surprise me everyday with how silly he can be and who adores me more than I should be adored.

Honestly, I have no one to thank but God for being so gracious to me and for providing me with the necessities in my life. I am so grateful for everything and blessed beyond words for the things I have in life.

That's about all the update I could come up with. I will be travelling soon in May. Fingers-crossed to Hong Kong, Myanmar and Europe, Thailand again on its way.

Stay blessed, happy and healthy!
