Went a trip to Bali and Borobodur with blogger friends. This is going to be a general post from beginning to end, containing sight-seeing scenes. After that, I will focus on other themes such as FOOD!

Inside each of these cones stupas sits a statue. Stone cold. Supposing to reach in and touch it while making a wish.

At night we roamed the night market, if you see a Balinese selling donut, you can be sure there’s more down the road. All selling the same thing! The Balinese have a thing or two to learn from the Chinese in terms of marketing.

Nevertheless, these hermit crabs have to suffer paint and stickers… and put up for sale! Once again, see one, see all. Same stickers also!

Slow shutter speed on the camera to an otherwise slow ferries wheel.

Following day, we head for a hindu temple. Suppose to have 144 of them until a volcanic eruption caused them all to crumple. Due to the lack of financial support, they have only re-erected 5 of the temples.

It really doesn’t make sense to worship a god who can’t help itself. Nothing like worshipping God whose kingdom will last forever and ever and ever, Amen!

Two of these temple makes it similiar to the KLCC twin tower.

Prancing to creativity, Satkuru’s sunglass make a fantastic wide angel lens! I hope he’s ok with all his pores detailed here.

This is the water palace where the Sultans used to stay. Basically this pool is where potential maidens will bath while the Sultan will spy from the left building’s top floor, to see which ignites his desires.

This is the second pool separated by the mentioned building. Over here is where he mates with the desired maiden/mistress.

Close by the water palace grows a plant where you can use its fruits to become red nail polish.

While a chicken struts proudly.

Proverbs says, a live dog is better than a dead lion. In this scenario, a live chicken is better than a drawn dragon.

The ‘turkey’ packaging when we travel. Traveling here is so famous for drug trafficking and theft. Therefore it’s just safe to pack your luggage like that everytime.

On our second night, we had to hire 2 of these big van to fetch 10 of us from our budget hotel to the airport. A RM300,000 car with (malfunctioning) wifi, open roof (whose buttons we had abused), ambient lights, good suspension, a funny driver and RM100 rental per trip!

Just about to fly to Bali, this airport had quite a nice reflection of it’s lights on the floor. We had Bread Papa for breakfast.

Arriving at Bali, This Isuzu van is HUGE. Comfortably fitted 1 driver, 1 tour guide, 13 of us, and ALL our luggage into this might van!

Entrance to our first meal in Bali. Food post coming right up!

I think this is Uluwatu. I only brought my zoom lens because I’m scared the monkeys will tear into my bag. Cheh, nothing of that sort.

Dang monkeys. Quick on their feet, if they snatch your stuff, you’ll have to trade it with bananas. His hairstyle has an attitude to it too!

Observing this jeep, one wonders how he will get out of this ‘parking’ spot.

Kuta beach was under spring cleaning. Such a shame for this is the only time we can head for the beach.

Nevertheless there are surfers in training.

If it wasn’t for the man in red behind, he could have been assumed to be a deep sea surfer!

70-200mm! woohoo!! Still looking brand new :D

Finally, the end of the Bali trip, Steven Tan, Jessica Lim, Angeline Tan, Satkuru, Mr. Yoga, Daniel Chew, the driver, Aaron Chua, Emily Chong, David Chong, Ai Ling, Elise blocking Lasker and Ming, William Leong.

This was one of the most terrible timings ever! Set 20 shots with 5 seconds interval, and this is the best there is. My countdown failed.
