Bali..who would not love this magnificent Island of The Gods, alternatively known by travellers.
After reading various travel articles and hearing all sorts of wonderful experiences from friends who had travelled to Bali, I told myself that I would not want to miss something worth visiting in my entire life.

So my wife and I decided to travel and experience Bali "The Paradise" for the first time. We were lucky enough to book the RM9.00 promotion flight sometime in February 09 offered by AirAsia and travelled on the 10 May to 13 May 09. The flight took us almost 3 hours to reach Bali and during the flight our hearts pounded with pure excitement of something undiscovered before.

We reached Bali around 2.45pm and the weather was ultra-fine until late in the afternoon, when it rained cats & dogs for almost 20 minutes. Anyway, we enjoyed our quiet stay in our hotel room in Kuta planning the next day trip based on the brochures and flyers collected at Ngurah Rai airport. We also enjoyed the stroll along Poppy's Lane searching for goodies at night eventhough it was drizzling.

Sunrise the next morning, we had the chance to stroll along Kuta beach, also known as 'Surfers Paradise', for a photo session and the view was significantly beautiful.

As time and weather were our greatest enemies, we had to skip the Barong and Keris dances, and headed straight to Kintamani to witness one of the most spectacular volcanic sites on earth.
We were lost in words and most of the time my SLR did most of the action.

Next stop was the temples of Tirta Empul and followed by Tanah Lot. We arrived just on time for the sunset at Tanah Lot but luck was not on our side as it rained lightly and the sun was covered by clouds. We made a deal with the driver cum tour guide to drive us here the next morning as we were extremely dissapointed with the view. Compassionately, Wayan,the tour guide drove us back to Tanah Lot the next morning. Words can't describe how beautiful the view was.

After spending almost 2 hours at Tanah Lot appreciating the view and witnessing a procession, Wayan took us North, to the temple of Bedugul and to the greenest place on earth, rice terraces of Jatiluwih. Again, we were made speechless by the power of nature.

Taman Ayun was the last stop on the third day and we managed to capture a few amazing sights there. On last day before departing back to KL, we managed to work out on our bargaining skills at Kuta Art Market and we were extremely delighted with the lowest price offered by the vendor for the souvenirs.

To sum up, we just hate Bali. We hate Bali for being so enchantingly beautiful. And we hate ourselves for organizing such a short trip and for not exploring the other half of Bali. To us Bali is a total paradise and we would love to come back here again someday....

AirAsia's courtesy of offering low fare flights is very much lauded and it benefits the low income group of people like us. AirAsia, you are the best.

My 2nd time travel to Bali.. I saw a special promotion flight to Bali that time.. RM9.. Amazing!! Grab it and we have a wonderful wedding anniversary at Bali. Some of my travel photo.

My mum asked me, 'Why Pulau Redang?' I told her that, there will be so much to experience in an island of white sandy beach. I planned a weekend family trip to Redang island, situated in Terengganu, Malaysia. It took us 45 minutes plane ride from LCC Terminal to Sultan Mahmud Airport. It was the 2 hour dizzy boat ride from Shahbandar jetty to Redang island, that I did not like.

HOWEVER,

A morning sunrise melted our heart...

Every meal made us drool...

A photo under the sea, indeed memorable...

Parents not being parents, made me laugh...

Expressing oneself, where nobody cared...

And, a thumbs up made this trip complete...

On our journey home, my turn to ask mum, 'So? Did you enjoy?'. She said 'Okay-lar', sheepishly, covering her grin.. *wink*

Stanley is one of the places that travelers must go in Hong Kong. Stanley is located on the southeastern part of Hong Kong Island. The name of Stanley was given by Lord Stanley who is the British Secretary of State for War and the Colonies during the 19th-century. Stanley was the temporary administrative centre for British before they are moving to Victoria City (Central). Stanley was also a last stand place for Allied before they surrendering to Japanese troops during the World War II. Now, Stanley is a peaceful town and tourist attraction in Hong Kong.

Ok, this is a through story, not through la, TRUE, adui, I'm SORRY... Anyway, I want to share one of my memorable experience I experienced, during my journey in the flight back to MALAYSIA from INDIA.. Roughly, I took AirAsia from an airport called TIRUCHIRAPALLI from India, which i don't even know how to spell it correctly. The flight depart at aroung 9.40 a.m in the morning, but for Malaysian time tambah 2 jam setengah yer, we're ahead of them OKAY...Lets begin the STORY, zass....

Well, 4 ur info, that car is call ambassador, INDIAN national car. I took this car to the airport... kerete ni besar giler, quite antic and the body of the car is really hard... I took this car to the airport right after my UBUH prayer, at aroung 6.30 o'clock at that time.. COP.. that guy is me, kot la kalo ade x knal....

Yeay. it's time to lay my butt down on the plane. That's me, carry my IBU's beg, yes.. that the job of a son. Meringankan tulang ibu tersayang.. Now is 9.30, it's tyme to take off ang get the hell out of this world to the sky..

TIDO??? that is the last thing i'm gonna do inside the plane, common la, you all pay that much and juzz sleep the whole journey inside the plane??? I say man, duduk atas simen lagi bagus..

This is the flight menu... My dad made a prebook of nasi briyani, so, we got 20% discount, but if u all buy it on the spot, u all don't get discount la, haha.. better book by internet la.. Plus, the briyani is not so nice la, hot is hot but, better don't buy la,,, berlapar is wiser choice.. AND.. the price is like asking for slap u know, mintak penyepak, mineral water itselt is RM4.... pikir la sendiri nabil yer..

Pejalanan masih mude... kite teruskan penerbangan... zaas...

Oops, we got AIRASIA magazine.. Good!! after I finish my prebook briyani, I had wonderfull time reading the magazine.. Ye la, the mag did entertain me.. I also read Goosebumps, choose your scare version... When i was selak2 mukesurat that magazine I saw.......

While I was reading, the pramugari and pramugare buat jualan, that time, I bought an air asia bag, black in colour juzz for the souvenir... it's like in the mag....written everyone can fly... LAME...
