Mom sent Angelica and I to the airport like four hours before our flight. She had to work, so yeh. Chilled with Angelica. Watched Confessions of a Shopaholic on board. Was annoyed cause I couldn't finish my movie. But whatev. Arrived and got a little stuck at the customs cause of the stupid queues and Angelica's missing documents. Cellphone's roaming didn't work in Bali although it worked in Jakarta and Batam. Lucky our designated driver waited for slightly more than an hour for us. Reached Grand Hyatt Bali and met the Shoffs only at 10ish (at night). Daddy Shoff asked us to order something to eat since it was past dinner time. But Angelica, Crystal and I just got Banana Smoothies for ourselves. Jumped around the hotel bed with Kasey, Chloe, Crystal & Angelica. We also stacked ourselves on top of each other. Had trouble sleeping that night. & Kasey also fell ill that night.

Kasey was still sick. Left for breakfast without her. Had breakfast at the Grand Club where the area is surrounded by pond with huge fishes and lizards. Best part is, it's okay to feed the fishies! :D There was a bird with looked like a penguin with chicken feet! Uncle Dennis and Stefanie decided to let us tour around the hotel after breakfast. &when we saw the beach, everyone wanted to get in. So the adults decided that all of us get back to the hotel to change up and chill by the beach. We chased and rode the waves - damn cool. After the beach, we went to the pool to hang out some more. The kids made me ride on the water slide. Fun. But embarrassing cause of the tsunami I create at the bottom of the slide. Went back to the suite and had room service for lunch/dinner. Slept early that night cause I didn't sleep enough the night before.

Went for breakfast a little late. So we had to put whatever food we want on our plates as they were starting to clear the buffet. Took pictures around the hotel. Chloe got bitten by something the previous night and it was swelling real bad. Went to the beach and rode the waves again. Stayed in the Cold Plunge for a bit. Had late lunch by the pool. Went back to suite to shower. Had my first signs of tan - not good. Also felt stings on my shoulders - mild sunburn. Had dinner in the in-house Japanese Restaurant, Nampu, with the Shoffs and Jost. Did window shopping at the shopping arcade opposite the hotel premises. Was very tired that night but I couldn't sleep.

Chloe had to wear a sling cause of her swollen hand.











Supper that night


Snoozed my iPod's alarm for almost an hour. Went for breakfast buffet. Went back to our suite and made plans and decisions. So we decided to go Horseback riding! I actually backed out at the last minute, but Uncle Dennis insisted that everyone go and that he had already paid. I WAS WEARING SKIRT! HAHA! The helmet that we had to wear stank reeaaallll bad that everyone were having second thoughts about horseback riding! We went anyway. There was a 50kg weight limit - I obviously was cheating (Jost made me). My horse's name was Merdeka, it means Independence in Bahasa Indonesia. & I think my horse and it's trainer hated me :( Cause while other trainers rest the horses outside their stables to let the riders pat and take pictures, mine went into the stables right after I got off. !@##^%*&@^@%!%. After horsing around, we went to Kuta Beach area. The adults left Kasey, Angelica and I by ourselves for 2hours to shop - cool shit man! Bought some DVDs, dresses and slippers. Went to the beach and took pictures. Drank my first bottle (since arriving in Bali) of Teh Botol there. Met up with the rest at Hard Rock Hotel and went to Kori Restaurant and Bar for dinner. I had Semur Daging which was awesome. Had another portion to eat at the hotel. Sang a lot of random songs on our way back to the hotel. Showered three times - cause of horse smelling hair. Did laundry - cause of horse smelling clothes. Then ate supper with Angelica and Chloe. Sleep.

Woke up early to find that everyone were still asleep - thanks to the long day before. Went back to bed after showering. Watched Dashyat on RCTI :D Went for Italian food by the beach. Ate the whole Margherita Pizza by myself accompanied with Avocado Juice. Went back to suite to change and accompanied Chloe, Crystal and Tiffany to go kite flying. Epik Phail. Not windy enough. Rode the waves again with Jost, Chloe, Kasey, Crystal and Angelica. Spotted crabs and fled. Couldn't stay in the water for too long cause it was High tide changing to Low tide so the current is really strong and it could pull us into deeper waters. Went to the swimming pool. Did the water slide and Cold Plunge again. Back to suite to shower. Grocery shopped at the shopping arcade across the hotel. Bough reusable waterproof camera for 132,000Rp - uses film. Bought Cup Noodles/Pop Mie times 3837129. Legs died. Walked back to the hotel and ate 2 cups each. Cancelled our 17 again movie cause I was too sleepy.

I wish I can have breakfast buffet everyday, all day.

Slept in. Had breakfast buffet. Went back to hotel to change up and met our guide at the Lobby. Drove us to Benoa beach area. Jet ski-ed with 700cc! Super fast and scary. Couldn't hear anything but the wind. Was supposed to Jet Ski by myself but then I freaked so I had the instructor to stay with me. Angelica and Kasey kept teasing because of that :( Went to another beach and did Banana Boat! Went with Angelica and Kasey while Chloe, Crystal and Tiffany went with Uncle Dennis. The ride was bumpy and I screamed like a little kid. The guy driving the speedboat asked if we'd like to fall into the sea .. I honestly didn't want to but I didn't want to be a spoiler to Angelica and Kasey. The Banana Boat guy then kept fooling around on the wheel and at first, the banana boat almost capsized but we managed to lean our bodies enough to not fall off. Then he did the same thing and I thought we could ride it fine just like the previous time - but no, next thing I knew .. Angelica, Kasey and I were laughing our heads off in the middle of the ocean! HAHAHA Seriously. Luckily I hooked my glasses to my lanyard, or else I might lose my glasses in the sea. Had a really hard time getting back on the banana boat cause I was drained by laughing non-stop. The guy had to lift me up - LOL. Went back on land and drove back to the hotel. Took a shower and napped while waiting for everyone else to get ready. Went to the shopping arcade across the hotel (again) to have dinner at a Balinese restaurant. Ordered Mini Balinese which includes a little of everything Balinese. Went back to the hotel with Kasey cause she wasn't feeling well. Watched Marley & Me and experienced a blackout for 15seconds. Damn scared as hell. Rewinded Marley & Me and watched it with Uncle Dennis. Cried at the end (just like how I cried reading the book). Prepared Pop Mie for Angelica and Chloe cause they were hungry. Ordered a bucket of ice for me to drink with my Teh Botol. Watched friends and I fell asleep on the wrong bed.

Was supposed to wake up early to go around the hotel with Angelica to take photos. But ended up waking up late. Went for breakfast and stole some bread from the buffet to bring back to the suite to feed fishes from our balcony. Lizard came and ate the fishes eating our bread - amusing. Went with Stefanie, Kasey and Angelica to shop at Billabong's End-Of-Season Sale (up to 90%). Angelica bought lanyards, Kasey bought some stuff .. I came out empty handed cause the only thing I wanted to buy was a Yellow bikini and it didn't fit my boobs. So yeah. Visited some Balinese gift shop and found really cheap stuff. Bought 2 straw sling hand bags for myself :D Ate at Plengkung Restaurant for Indonesian food. Drank Teh Botol (again) and had Nasi Goreng (my ultimate favorite)! Went to Kuta to shop some more. Bought dresses again and drank another bottle of Teh Botol HEHEHE. Spent 8 hours out of the hotel in total. Came back to the hotel to have Japanese dinner. That night Tiffany, Crystal, Kasey and Angelica got feverish. Had to carry Crystal back to the suite cause Uncle Dennis was carrying Tiffany. Packed luggage with Angelica and cleared everything. Gave Angelica Panadol and a bottle of UC1000. Watched a little TV and slept early.

Woke up at 6am and went to shower with Angelica. Did last minute packing and cleaning. Everyone were still asleep. After packing - Angelica and I went back to sleep while the rest woke up and started packing. LOL. Breakfast with Kasey and Angelica - cause the rest weren't ready. Back to suite and accompanied Chloe, Crystal and Tiffany to let their crabbies go. Took some more pictures around the hotel. Went back to the suite and left for the lobby to check out. Went to the airport and Chloe started feeling dizzy. She threw up when we were checking in for flights. Did the fiscal thing and everyone chilled at the Lounge. Ate more at the lounge, heehee. Introduced Crystal and Chloe to croutons (to put in soup) and they loved it! :P Got on our flight. After our meal in the plane, Angelica and I sneaked into the Business Class to see the Shoffs :P Was smart this time round, I didn't watch any movies .. all I did was listen to my iPod and sleep. Arrived at Singapore, saw Kevin waiting for us, copied Crystal and gave him a hug. Realized that Angelica and I didn't carry any house keys and there isn't anyone at home. Couldn't squeeze into the car with the Shoffs cause there wasn't any space (Kevin picked them up). So we took a cab and waited for mom to knock off and went home together.

So in the end, everyone fell sick but me. WOOHOO! I'd love to visit Bali again. Thank you Shoff family for having Angelica and I tag along in your family vacation - we had a blast! I'll really miss our Ninja cheer, Meh-no-nal, Sarang-hae pose and Chloe and my Sumo pose. Thank you whoever you are for reading my blog, I'll try to upload pictures soon when I'm not tired/lazy. & no I do not have super human memory power. Thanks to my iPod Touch's Notes app, I recorded everything I did in point form daily :D Smart huh?

Love, Peace & Say Bali!
