Bali Trip: Day 1

We decided to go to Bali to celebrate our 1st Year Wedding Anniversary as well as Valentine’s Day. So, I searched for travel packages and other travel agencies for the right package for us.

I chanced upon Expedia.com.sg and it gave me rates that are very reasonable and right for our budget. I booked a two-way Air Asia flight for Doms and I and a 3 night stay at Aston Kuta Hotel and Residences with buffet breakfast.

Our flight was scheduled to leave at 9:20 AM (16 Feb 2012). As always, we were early so we decided to eat breakfast first. Boarding time came and to my surprise, more than half of the passengers in the plane were blondes either from Australia or UK. Bali is really the place to be if you want to see ang-mho’s!

Ngurah Rai International Airport

Our 2 hours and 30 minutes flight was so fast I didn’t notice it. When we arrived Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali, the first thing that I saw was the ancient pillars to the entrance of the airport.

After immigration, we met with or dear driver Dewa. Drop me a comment here if you like the contact number of Dewa. He drove us to our hotel in Aston Kuta. It was very near the airport so it was just OK.

We checked in already as soon as we arrive the hotel but we were not allowed to go to our room untile 2:00 pm. So we ate our late lunch first.

Our Aston Kuta Hotel

Doms ordered Beef Rendang and I ordered Beef with Pepper Sauce. The Rendang was great and the Beef Pepper rice was to die for!

so after lunch, we went staright to our room to check it out. It was great pool view! The sheets were nice and the room was cold. The toilet has a cute design and we really love it! Photos to follow!

We ate dinner at Poppies. Photos to follow.

Happiness Commandment 2: Stay Calm

Being calm is a bit of challenge for me. I was brought up by a family where emotions run wild. I was brought up by a general’s son (my dad) and mom where being at the top of my toes in every situation or aspect is OK. I was brought to be keen and alert. I was brought up in a traditional military way.

So, this is the reason why my voice is unusually loud and this is why I always have anxiety with everything.
