before bali
Am off to Bali today, will be back on Monday. Am rather excited and relieved because I’ve been looking forward to this for a while, I’ve never been to Bali and I quite need a getaway.
We have to leave PJ by 4pm. I have a lot of errands to run, little last minute stuff to buy. I need to transfer my clothes etc to a larger bag because I remembered that we paid for one bag to be checked-in. I need to go find that one larger bag in my sister’s dungeon of luggage. So why am I here still blogging away? Because bloggers are sick, sick people who deserve a kick in the nuts/ tits. My reasoning is that I won’t be on-line for a few days.
Nonetheless I am not a complete slacker. To prove this, here are some of the things that I’ve done and prepared, to be brought to Bali with me.
Change MYR to IDR aka I am a millionaire in Indonesia and everyone has used that line. Check.
Did I mention that I am going mountain trekking at 4 am? Hence the torchlight.
Best shoes a girl can have. It’s really not just the brand. I tried on many brands before going back to Nike — the comfort level (at that price) is too amazing.
Telephone number book, watch, calculator, music player, alarm clock and currency converter. Check.
One of best mates. Check.
Emo Ryan ‘cos I’m not bringing him?
Uh, maybe not 
Anyway it will be fun, regardless of what we end up doing. See you next week! I might Twitter, I might not. To end this post, here’s a snippet from a conversation I had with Ryan when telling him that I was going to Bali with Fireangel.
Me: You remember Fireangel jie jie? We went to Bangkok together.
Ryan: Yah I know Fireangel jie jie. I also know fire engine.

Suan! Have fun in Bali. Don’t forget to go for the Kecak Dance at the cliff, and eat the babi guling :p Don’t waste your time having the seafood at Jimbaran though.. waste of money IMO. Don’t forget to bargain, bargain, BARGAIN with the locals! They’ll love you for it!
clever ryan!
agree with izad re bargaining – they will start with prices 4 times higher than a reasonable one – so really knock those prices down. And there’s loads of nice arty stuff to buy everywhere!
i have not been there but based on what ppl tell me…. enjoy the babi guling!!
