Bali! I'm Going To Visit You

I was very excited because I going to Bali on 31st July for 4 days 3 nights trip with my uncle and my sister.

I had heard about Bali from a lots of people and I waiting the chance to go there for so long. Now, my dream had came true. My colleague went there for her honeymoon and told me how beautiful Bali is. Then my uncle called me from Taiwan and said that he want to go Bali and asked me to plan for it. When I heard the news, I was very excited because finally I have chance to go Bali.

So, I started to plan the trip and checked the time and date for flight ticket but that time I still could not settle because I had to wait for the answer from my uncle and my sister about their free time and date. Then when they told me that they can make it on March, I went online to check to the ticket's price at AirAsia, it turned out very expensive. I had to tell them and rearrange the time. Finally, I found that on July, all of them can make it and the ticket price was not expensive. So the time and date was settled.

Then, I had to find a driver to show us the interesting places during our stay at Bali because my colleague told me that it is better since we no need to rush. I went online again to find and asked my colleague for information. Then I found one online, I sent an email to him to ask about the tour price and is he available on the date that I have set. He replied to me very fast and the price that he offered was reasonable. So, I decided to hire him as our Bali driver. Then the driver part was settled.

Now, I looking for the interesting places that we want to visit. Because I know that 4 days are not enough for us to explore all the beautiful places in Bali. So, this time we focused on some famous places that people highly recommended. I will pay a visit to other places when I revisit Bali next time. So, Places to visit settled.

So, all was done. The only thing left was money changing. How much I going to change?? (Plan to buy a lot of wood carvings) Hahahahahaha................................

BALI! I'M GOING TO VISIT YOU!! WAIT FOR ME!!!

Genting Highlands Trip

This year, our company trip was 2 days 1 night trip to Genting Highlands. There were only 7 out of 20 join the trip. So, we make it short and easy.

On Saturday 3pm, I went to Genting with my other two colleagues in one car and we would meet the others there because they went there with another car. At 4.30pm, we arrived at First World Hotel which we going to stay in. There were a lot of tourist around and I was kind of disappointed with the weather there because instead of cold weather, it was warm. After my colleague went to check-in for the rooms. We went to put our bags into the room, I was surprise with the room at Tower 1 because the room was not really big, just enough space for you to walk and put your bags. Then we went out to look for a restaurant which we going to have our dinner later.





We looking for a buffet restaurant. But in First World Hotel, we did not have the restaurant that can interest us. So, we went to other hotels to take a look. Then we saw a buffet restaurant named Coffee Terrace at Highland Hotel. The price was RM57.50 (included government and service tax) per person and it fit with our budget. So, we decided to have our dinner there, we went into the restaurant to book a table for 7 and wait for other to come to join us. The foods in the restaurant not that much if compare to other buffer restaurants which I been to, but the taste of foods were good. I like pan-fried Salmon the most. I ate two plates of the Salmon and still have some food I did not eat because after few round, I really felt full.

















After dinner, my colleagues went into casino to gamble and I did not follow. I went to wandering around because every time I went to Genting, I never have a chance to look properly. So, this is the time for me to look properly. After that, I went back to my room to take a rest.

Later on, my colleagues called that they were at Starbuck beside the entrance of First World Hotel. So, I went there to meet them. Then, sat there chit-chat for hours. After that, we went back to the room. My colleagues continued their gambling in other room, I watched television and went to bed around 3 o'clock in the morning.

I woke up around 10am. We started to pack our things to get ready for check-out at 12pm.We ate noodle in cup for breakfast, then one of my colleague said that she still has some Genting Point to redeem. So, we went into casino and order two plates of nasi lemak, one stick of nuggets, one stick of sotong balls, two plates of cake and redeemed them Genting Points.

After that, we headed back to KL. So, this was the end of our Genting Trip.
