Bali Report 4 (16/06/2011)

Ok another entry here about my Bali trip. I promise the last entry will be the next one ;) On this date, it was our second last day in Bali and we had another trip for sightseeing also. This time we went to two places only because the time taken to go to these two places is quite long :s

On this particular day also is when I was a vegetarian based on the chinese calendar. So away I go for the trips planned for the day as a vegetarian :D Was a little unhappy at the end of the day when I have finished fasting as a vegetarian that some friends of mine did not even care about our BBQ dinner planned. They wanted to do shopping only. Aiyo~ In Bali ah, seriously speaking unless you are a surfer or some sort then can do shopping :s Anyways, end of the day reached our villa quite late for our BBQ dinner :)

Anyhows, enjoy the pictures below with its narration :D

**We headed off to watch Barong & Keris Traditional Dance and Mt Kitamani Volcano & Hot spring**

Was on our way to watch a traditional dance and saw this huge stone carving by the roadside :s

Picture with one of the dancers when we arrived at the village where the traditional dance was being held

The man who controls the whole event

Barong - a mythical creature in Bali

Dancers

This is the funniest part!!! The boar's dick went up and the 3 cute men there used it as a microphone to sing "Happy Birthday" *LOL*

The keris dance part whereby the shirtless men used the keris to poke their body

This man bite on a LIVE bird :s

This man is kind of being possessed as he poke the keris to himself and the keris bent O.o

After the traditional dance, we head off to hotspring

On our way up the mountain. Behind me is the view of the volcano which is ACTIVE O.o

Name of the hot spring that we went to

Me by the pool side with the volcano as my background :D

Lunch time at one of the restaurant at the top of another mountain. Gosh~ It was really cold :s

Me & Bel :)

Night falls and when we were back at our villa, the workers there put up lanterns by the pool area for our last night there. So touched with their effort.

BBQ-ing away~

Everyone was so hungry and can't wait to dig in!!!

Models for beer *LOL*



BBQ ^^

I could not believe it that I attended a BBQ session not long after I landed in Brunei from my Bali trip :s My colleagues held a BBQ session on the 2nd last day of holiday as to celebrate with my sports house students. I initially assume I was able to make it as my flight was due to arrive at 9am that morning and the BBQ will start at 10am. Thinking that I could make it I volunteered to sponsor lamb chops to be BBQ-ed. I had my younger sister's help though to buy & marinate while I was at Bali.

Who would know that our flight from KL to Brunei was delayed!!! I arrived Brunei at 1130am and rushed to bring the lamb chops over to one of my colleague's place. I was kind of disappointed as most of my colleagues were not able to wait for the lamb chop. As soon as I arrived there, most of my colleagues left without even eating the lamb chop but then I had no worries as most of the students had the delicious lamb chops along with few of my colleagues who were still there. I was kind of disappointed because my tiredness after the flight to bring the lamb chop there was not appreciated when most of my colleagues left :( Anyhows, I don't mind now because some of my colleagues who stayed behind ate it and one of my colleague even brought some home so he can give it to his wife :D

Ok enough of ranting and here are some pictures from the BBQ session :)
