Wake up at 8am and gedebak –gedebuk 9am kuar dari bilik. Day one in Bali, the weather is super duper hot and humid. We got ourselves a tour guide. Supir kami namanya Pak Made, a very typical Balinese guy..baik bangat. He drove us around in his Toyota Unser. My phone rang, a sms from someone me love most. Hehe First place was the market in Kuta Town. Mom warned us about a pot of flower with some crackers and fruits in it. Itu sebenarnye barang2 lepas diorang sembahyang. Bali is full with culture+religion, so before they start their day, every Hindu individual will pray at their nearest small temple or just worship their idols and put the flower pot in front of their premises. This is how the flower pot looks like. On to the journey of our first day in Bali, at the Kuta Town ape lagi nak buat? Shopping~! Bought a couple of Bali t-shirts for my plant design group (korang..aku abis duit tau belikan untuk korang..tapi janji tetap janji..). We walked and took a lot of pictures. Admiring the uniqueness of Bali compared to our previous visit to Jakarta and Bandung. Their ancient culture, the sculpture, the art, the people was amazing.

Don’t let me start about their food. Before the shopping spree, we had our brunch at Rumah Makan Minang CCA. When talking about returning back to your own root, minang has the best dish to offer.After a wonderful day at the Kuta Town (not really wonderful because of the sun and the extreme humidity make us sweat like pigs), we when to Tanah Lot. It is one of the tourist attractions. Tanah Lot is a temple near the beach where you can enjoy the best view of the sunset.
Lepas dah romantik2 kat laut tu, we decided to get our dinner at the best seafood restaurant in Bali. Enjoying seafood at the beach ( I meant really at the sandy beach).We had dinner at Segera Seafood in Jimbaran. We had prawns, squids, more prawns and lobster.

After the feast, we headed back to the hotel. Slept early cus super exhausted and need to gain energy for tomorrow activities.

Flight should be at 3.40pm but it was delayed because of some technical bullshit at the ticket counter when we were checking in our bags. We arrived at LCCT around 2.30pm. Supposedly we should be at the airport at least 1 hour before the flight time because the bags needed to be checked in. Bukan nak banned Air Asia ke ape la..tapi it’s a policy of the flight, we can’t refund the ticket. What Air Asia did to us was horrible. They sold our tickets because we arrived at 2.30pm. We’ve paid for the tickets and the sold it to someone else. After ayah gaduh ngan supervisor AA, they came up a solution that we have to split. 3 of us fly first on the 3.45pm flight, and the other 2 have to take the 5.00pm flight. Bodoh tak?
So, we all decided to take the 5pm flight. Tunggula macam org bodoh kt LCCT yg tak de pape tu. At 4.30pm we checked in, pastu flight delay pukul 6pm.Haiiissshhh~!!! Delay sampai pukul 7 la senang cite. Duration to Bali is 3 hours, makanya jam 10pm la kami samapi ke Bali. Tak best langsung. Its already night and theres nothing you can see and enjoy. Arrived and went straight to the hotel. We stayed in Penindsula Beach Resort in Nusa Dua near Kuta Beach. Checked in and terus tidur (charge battery untuk esok).
