[Food] Just Like It - Ice Cream

Went to try on the new ice cream shop at RWS on Friday. The shop of the ice cream is Just Like It ! Yeah, I love the name of this shop. This is one of the outlet at Sentosa Singapore.

Just Like It ! Main entrance

This ice cream founded in Australia, where it claims 100% original with 0% Artificial, Additive, Colouring and Stabilizer. Unlike any other ice cream shop where you can request to taste the ice cream before you decided to buy, the concept is not used in this ice-cream shop. They will only make your ice cream upon your ordering. The best part is, you can just stand in front of the counter to look at the staff making your ice cream. Sound fresh and cool huh?

You can stand in front to look your ice cream being processed

And now my ice creams are ready.

Here's their new ice cream - Durian Durian (regular - 2scoops). It taste nice if you are durian lover.

Here is another flavor - Rum + Mint. I would not recommend this one as if I just taking mint ice cream, forget about the Rum. You can request to put your ice cream in the BIG bowl if you dine in. Ya, it look a bit weird with 2 small scopes of ice cream in a huge bowl.

Currently, there are 4 outlets in Singapore, includes Ion Orchard, Tampines 1, AMK Hub and RWS. Give it a try when you craving for ice cream. You can also visit their website Just Like It for more details.

[Sharing] 抽筋怎么办？

相信大家都有偿试过落枕，抽筋，脚麻吧？ 以下简单知识教你如何应付抽筋：

1.落枕
您偶尔早上起床会发现自己落枕了吗？就是脖子疼痛。
一旦落枕您该怎么办？
一旦落枕时，只要将你的脚抬起来！把大脚姆指给掰开来，慢慢的以顺时或逆时的方向按摩旋转。

2.脚麻时
若左脚麻了，用力甩你的右手掌，
若右脚麻了，则用力甩你的左手掌。

3.脚抽筋时
左脚抽筋时高高的举起右手，
右脚抽筋时高高的举起左手，马上舒缓。

4.运动时抽筋怎么办？
第一个动作就是马上休息，并将抽筋的腿部伸直（勿让膝盖弯曲），将脚板往自己身体方向下压，然后可以使用运动喷剂或药膏让腿部肌肉松弛，并用双手按摩抽筋部位。如果自己怕痛，可以请别人代劳，记得一定要按摩有疼痛感才算有效，如果旁边无人可以帮忙，则可以将双手撑住墙壁，脚跟不离地感觉小腿筋有被拉直的感觉，进行几分钟后，再放松按摩腿部肌肉。

其他如手臂抽筋时，必须将之轻轻拉直；腹部抽筋时，轻轻把腹部垫高拉直腹肌；若是大腿前面抽筋，最简单的就是采取蹲姿，或轻轻将手腕放在膝盖后方，将腿往后弯曲，使大腿前面抽筋拉直。

至于如何防范抽筋，最简单的就是在运动前的热身操及动后操中，加强“拉伸”的动作，此外，运动中补充运动饮料，在补充水分的同时，又能补充电解质，使体内钾钠平衡。

其次是适当而渐进的运动，抽筋就是身体在警告我们，目前的运动量已超过身体负担，也就是说平时的运动量不够，还要多加锻炼。

5.孕妇抽筋时如何应对？
半数以上的怀孕妇女在孕期尤其在晚上睡觉时会发生腿部抽筋。

究期原因，孕妇在孕期中体重逐渐增加，双腿负担加重，腿部的肌肉经常处于疲劳状态；另外，怀孕后，对钙的需要量明显增加。怀孕后，尤其在孕中、晚期，每天钙的需要量增为1200毫克。如果膳食中钙及维生素D含量不足或缺乏日照，会加重钙的缺乏，从而增加了肌肉及神经的兴奋性。夜间血钙水平比日间要低，故小腿抽筋常在夜间发作。

一旦抽筋发生，只要将足趾用力向头侧或用力将足跟下蹬，使踝关节过度屈曲，腓肠肌拉紧，症状便可迅速缓解。

孕妇抽筋时，肌肉是持续收缩的状态，所以必须赶快让肌肉放松，以下一些小方法应对抽筋还是比较有效的，但如果抽筋情况严重的话，就一定要请医师诊治了。

一，立刻脚着地
抽筋多发生在夜晚睡觉时，一旦发生抽筋，妈妈不妨马上下床，脚跟着地站一会儿，或平躺时脚跟抵住墙壁。

二，扳扳腿
如果是小腿抽筋，就将小腿扳向自己身体心脏位置的方向，小心地以踝部进行绕圈运动，也可减轻症状。

三，按摩、热敷
轻轻按摩抽筋的部位可减缓不适，如果抽筋太久造成局部肌肉的酸痛，也可以选择热敷或是泡热水。

四，站直使腿后部肌肉伸展
对于明显的抽筋，孕妈妈可握紧椅背作为支持，站直使腿后部肌肉伸展，髋部稍向前并弯曲，膝部伸直，均匀地深呼吸。也可以斜倚在墙上，站在地板上，双臂伸直，稍前倾，双手掌抵着墙。

＊注意事项
如果孕妈妈不是偶尔的小腿抽筋，而是经常的肌肉疼痛，或者腿部肿胀或触痛，孕妈妈就应该去医院检查。因为这可能是下肢静脉血栓的征兆，需要立即治疗。虽然孕期血栓很少见，但是孕妈妈也应谨慎防范。

[Sharing] The Wonderful of Petai

Came across this article from my inbox. A good to share around. 

Little did you know ........ after reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at petai in the same way again!

Petai contains three natural sugars -sucrose, fructose and glucose. Combined with fiber, petai gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proved that just two servings of petai provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.. No wonder petai ! is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way petai can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.


Depression:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND among people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating petai. This is because petai contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.


PMS (premenstrual syndrome):
Forget the pills - eat petai. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.


Anaemia:
High in iron, petai can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia.


Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. ! So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the petai industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.


Brain Power :
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating petai at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Understand that bananas contain lot of potassium too so eat more banana... Just look at those monkeys, they are really active, alert, smart and cunning too!!


Constipation:
High in fiber, including petai in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.


Hangovers:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a petai milkshake, sweetened with honey. The petai calms the ! stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.


Heartburn:
Petai has a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating petai for soothing relief.


Morning Sickness :
Snacking on petai between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.


Mosquito bites :
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of the petai skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation..


Nerves:
Petai is high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.


Overweight:
Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at wo! rk leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.


Ulcers:
Petai is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.


Temperature control :
Many other cultures see petai as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Holland , for example,! pregnant women eat petai to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.


Seasonal Affecti ve Disorder (SAD):
Petai can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer, tryptophan.


Smoking:
Petai can also help people trying to give up smoking.. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

< B R>Stress:
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium petai snack.


Strokes:
According to research in "The New England Journal of Medi! cine" eating petai as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%".


Warts:
Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of petai and place it on the wart.. Carefully hold the petai in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, as you can see, petai really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals... It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A Petai a day keeps the doctor away".  

[Sharing] Lemon - The Benefit of it

Do you like lemon? If so, continue to like it as lemon did provide benefits to our body. If you dont like lemon, begin to like it now. Came across an article about lemon via an email from my uncle. So I'll share out the article to all of you. Enjoy reading.

This is the latest in medicine, effective for cancer! Read carefully & you be the judge Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy. Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations? As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This
plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders. The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that: It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ... The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

Remedy of the day:
Cut 2-3 thin slices of lemon in a cup/containner and add drinking water will become "alkaline water", drink for the whole day, just by adding drinking water.  Take it as drinking water everyday is good for everybody.

 I'll start the remedy from now on. Let's do it together :)

范瑋琪 – 最重要的決定
作詞：姚若龍 作曲：陳小霞


我常在想 應該再也找不到

任何人像你對我那麼好
好到我的家人也被照料
我的朋友還為你撐腰
你還是有一堆毛病改不掉
拗起來氣得仙女都跳腳
可是人生完美的事太少
我們不能什麼都想要
你是我最重要的決定
我願意 每天在你身邊甦醒
就連吵架也很過癮 不會冷冰
因為真愛沒有輸贏 只有親密
你是我最重要的決定
我願意 打破對未知的恐懼
就算流淚也能放晴 將心比心
因為幸福沒有捷徑 只有經營
(os)我愛你
你是我最重要的決定
我願意 每天在你身邊甦醒
就連吵架也很過癮 不會冷冰
因為真愛沒有輸贏 只有親密
你是我最重要的決定
我願意 打破對未知的恐懼
就算流淚也能放晴 將心比心
因為幸福沒有捷徑 只有經營

Hope you enjoy the song and lyrics

[Life] Rest In Peace My Respective Grandpa

29th March 2011 is a new date to remember which I've marked in my calendar. It was the date my beloved grandpa been criminate. He has been having parkinson sickness more than 20 years. All the while he needs medicine to control the movements that caused him getting thinner and thinner, body getting weak day by day. However, he has a great memory, he can still remember each of us from his children, to grand children and even great grand children. No doubt his leaving make us feel very sad, it is good to know that he leaving us peacefully without suffering. 


In the 5 days funeral, all our families, relatives and friends came to give the last respect. One of my cousin posted a question: "What is the most memorable thing you had in Gong Gong ? " He was the best grandpa ever. He never scolded us before. Remembered when I was a kid, I used to go out play with my sister and cousins during evening, he will always allow us to go outside whenever we asked him. My grandpa was also a great singer especially in the bathroom. I used to listen he singing in the bathroom he while I m having my food at the kitchen. I've never seen my grandpa cried before until there was once during one of the CNY. My grandma scolded him for a small matter, that really makes him felt so sad and cried. I'll never forget the scene. 


Talked about his fav food, he liked Rojak, Stim Beans (yellow color, dont know what the actual name called), Abang Balik (a kuih, not sure it spell this way). When we went to pasar malam, he will always asked us to buy Rojak and stim beans for him. He will always cough when he eating Rojak, but he still enjoyed the food. Then during tea break, we went to buy kuih kuih, he always eat Abang Balik. By default, we will know what to buy for him for his tea break without asking him.


Although he has passed away, I knew he is still be with us. He was just not living with us anymore but living in the heaven. Gong Gong, you will always be in my heart and be remembered. We will always missing you. Dont worry about us, we will take care ourself and also popo. May you rest in peace. 
Love you always.


Now then I am worry about my grandma, she was so sad when knowing her beloved husband passed away. Is painful to see her cry. During these days, she sit on the chair and starring, I asked her what is she thinking, she said nothing. That time, how I wish I could really read her mind. What we can do is accompany her as much as we can. She is lonely and needs accompany. Hope that each of us will spend more time with her and go back visit her more often so that she wont feel so lonely. Popo, you have to be tough ok. You still have us --> your children, grand children and great grand children are here for you. We want to you to be happy and smile more, let the worries and unhappiness go away. I will go back more often to visit you and sleep at your place. Love you Popo.

[Travel] Batam Trip Free And Easy

It was my 1st time to Batam Island. It is an island in Indonesia and located near to Spore. Is place for Sporean to gateway to here.

Spent 2D1N over there on 9 May - 10 May 2009. Things there are cheap especially the food. Seafood not to mention, is pretty cheap.

Here are some of the informations and things I did over Batam.

Depart from Harbourfront Ferry Terminal at 11.00am to Batam Centre Ferry Terminal. Journey to Batam Centre took about 1 hour. For 2 ways ticket - SGD47 (include seaport tax). I booked the tickets in advance via fax ( coz i got the form from my company, hehe). Alternately, can book and check the time via their website http://www.batamfast.com/index.aspx . If you are buying return tickets, when collecting tickets at horbourfront, will have to pay SGD40. The moment you reach Batam Centre, go to the counter to book for return tickets. They will assign you the ticket and collect SGD7 from you.

(**Note** Batam time is 1 hour later than Spore time)

Once arrive Batam Centre, opposite is the Batam Centre Shopping Mall. Since the hotel i booked can only check-in at 2pm, so we went to the shopping mall to walk around. Actually nothing much over there and the crowds is very little. To me it is a small shopping mall.

We are staying at i-Hotel, which located at Nagoya. It is a new hotel. For reservation, may visit http://www.ihotelbatam.com/ .

From Batam Centre to Nagoya by cab is about 15minutes. The charges will be Rp45000 (SGD6.4) . We tried to negotiate the price but they not allow, they just showed us it s fixe price with the printed paper. Anyway it is save, they will assigned you a receipt before you got to the cab. Once the taxi driver sent you to the destination, just paid him accordingly.

The room is big (coz i stay executive room) and clean.

The Room The Bathroom with bathtub


i-Hotel nearby there is a new shopping mall - Nagoya Hill Shopping Mall. It is just a walking distance from i-Hotel (in fact there has a short-cut to go the shopping mall from the hotel).
This shopping mall is much more bigger than Batam Centre. Can find many restaurants over there and the price is cheap.

There are quite many clothing shops at the mall, but I didnt really buy any of them, because not nice. Those nice the price not that cheap though. There is a shop name 61, the clothes are cheap. 1 t-shirt cost about SGD2-5 bucks.

After walk around, we then went for massage. This is the main reason that attract me to Batam. Isabella Massage House is the place i visited. It is located at Nagoya as well. Walking distance from the shopping mall. I made appointment with them over email before went there. We went for 2 hours Combination Massage (Bali + Thai massage). It was nice and it cost about SGD22.
The have a very good service. After the massage, we wanted to go for Seafood dinner, they offer to send us to the place for free and fetch us back to Hotel after we finished our dinner.
Here is the info :
web : htt://www.isabellamassagehouse.com
email : info@isabellamassagehouse.com
Tel : +62 778 749 3692
Operating Hour : 9.30am - 10.15pm
If you happen to go Batam, can go here for massage !

Next is the Seafood dinner. Is about 5 minutes drive from Nagoya. It is called A1 Seafood Foodcourt. Most of the stalls are selling seafood. Manyare chinese owners. Before order, must ask them the price of each of the item you wanted to order. If you fell is reasonable then can give a try. We ordered 6 dishes : 2 plates of vege, lala, sotong, Prawn and Crab. This cost about SGD25 (cheap huh?)

Hai San Seafood stall



The Crowds

Sotong - RP25000 (SGD3.60)
Vege - Rp15000 (SGD2.10)
Vege - Rp15000 (SGD2.10)

Crab - Rp50000 (SGD7.10)
Lala - Rp25000 (SGD 3.60)
Prawn - Rp45000 (SGD 6.40)

On top of that, if there is any nice movie, go and watch it. Trust me, is pretty cheap. The movie ticket is only cost bout SGD3. The cineplex is not bad (of coz no as good as cathay, but i think same as Shaw at least). The popcorn and Nachos also cheap. Is really enjoying watching movie there.

The restaurant at the Nagoya Hill also cheap. We went to 1 of the restaurant for lunch. Cost us about SGD15 for 1 vege, 1 whole fish and prawn.

The only draw back i would like to comment about Batam is - > ppl can smoke everywhere. In shopping mall, inside restaurant, even in hotel restaurant. Although there is sign for no smoking, ppl there just ignored and seems like common over there. Is pretty smelly ok. Guess the cigrattes there are selling cheap, that recommend ppl there to smoke more.

Just the short weekend hangout. Basically go there to relax, eat and shop and of coz massage. Will consider to go back there once a while for massage and eat.

Woo-hoo, tomorrow is Friday again. Weekend's here!!!

[Travel] Trip to Bali

Bali Bali here I come. The party of 6 rocked Bali for 4 days 3 nights from 7th May - 10th May 2008.

Day 1 - 7th May 2008 (Wed)
We meet at LCCT McD. The moment we reached, hugging each other, coz is been a year didnt see. Oh yeah, this is our gathering trip. Went to the counter to check in our luggages and take the tickets. Yippie, so excited, finally is the day to go Bali.

Flight AK900 depart from LCCT to Denpasar Airport at 10.50am. After 3 hours flight, finally we departed at the Airport. Quickly we proceed to the imigration checkpoint and collect our luggages, then went out to the departure hall to look for the local tour who coming to pick us. So many local tours were holding the cardboard with the customer's name waiting outside the departure hall. We are looking who is the guy who taking the cardboard with my name on. See, on the right, there he is. Faster we approached him and he help us to take some luggages and proceed to his car. A red van - we named it Ferrari coz drive very fast.

1st destination to go of coz is to go hotel to check in and put our staffs. The hotel we stayed is Dewi Sri Hotel located at Legian, Kuta. The hotel is considered clean, overall is ok, just that the shower not so good condition, because the water is kinda small.

3.30pm, we gathered at the lobby and meet up the local tour, well his name is Elvys. Then we start our journey, the 1st place of visit -> Uluwatu. From hotel to Uluwatu, took about 45min.

Gotta pay Rp10,000 per person for the entry fees. The local tour brought us to visit the place, it was like trecking. Finally reached the top, wow, the scenery is simply breath-taking. Started to snap pic here and there. We need to be extra careful because many monkeys there. They will take things away from you if you didnt hold it properly. But the love to take pictures, they will sit down and posting for you to snap them.

Around 5.00pm, we bought the ticket to watch the performance by Balinesse at Uluwatu -> Kecak Dance, cost Rp50,000. Before the show start, we managed to see the sunset. Is so nice. By 6 plus, the sun already set, and the performance started. Well, basically we have no much idea on what they are performing (guess is something related to their so called story tales) . The performance took about 1hour to finish.

The sky already so dark at 7.00pm. After the performance, we proceed for dinner. So hungry already. Went to the romantic location -> Jimbaran Seafood to have our dinner. No doubt, the place there is really nice, romantic. Eating seafood by the seaside, listen to the song of the sea. However, the food so so only. Maybe because all of us too hungry, very fast we finished all the dishes. hehehe.

After the dinner, Elvys send us back to Legian, Kuta. Before he wanted to drop us at the hotel, we asked him to stop on the road side. We then continue to walk around the street. Long street and full of shops and pubs. Girls start the shopping. hehehe.. Then went in to one of the pub. Is special, on the top of the building and is open air (no air-corn). Just relax and dance over there.


Day 2 - 8th May 2008 (Thurs)

Early in the morning 8.00am, we meet up for breakfast at the hotel (as breakfast included). 9.30 am gathered at the lobby and start our 2nd day journey.

1st place : Barong Dance - Rp50,000 . Well, again dont really understand what they trying to tell us. Just felt that they look horrible with the masks.

2nd place : Batik factory . Actually this is not in my list, is the local tour who brought us there. Can see how patient are the ladies there doing the batik. Very nice. But none of us buy any product because we are not into batik and kinda expensive.
3rd place : Celuk. Place that sell all type of silver accessories. We didnt buy anything from there because the price is not cheap. Is not worth to buy a silver accessories with the expensive price.
4th place : Kintamani. This place I love the most. It has very attractive mountain view while you having buffet lunch at Grand Puncak Sari Restaurant. Admire the view while eating. The air is cooling and refresh. Nice.
5th place : Sukawati. This place let me had a very deep memory. When think of this place, then remind me of the toilet there. Is not the toilet clean. It is super smelly and still need to collect money. I really admire the guy can sit outside of the toilet to collect the money. Really will faint le. This place is a bazaar selling sourveniers, clothes etc. Clothes there are cheap, can bargain a lot. And the people there are quite friendly, at least they wont curse or scold you if you trying to bargain price with them. If you don't want just tell them then they wont show you unhappy face.
6th place : Dinner @ Selera Kuring. After the bargain at sukawati, all already hungry. Went to this place for dinner and we treat the local tour for dinner.
7th place : SPA. After dinner, go to relax the body. Is Spa time. This is my 1st time to do Spa, and i guess will be my last time. Why? Because i don't really enjoy it, felt it so uncomfortable. I still prefer massage or thai massage, simply the best. Spa for 2hours, cost Rp250,000. First 1 hour is whole body massage. Second 1 hour is Spa. They put the scrub on your body, then use blanket to cover. Awwww, imagine, the scrub on body then blanket cover over, so uncomfortable. Rest for 30 min, wash away the scrub, then put on milk, and again cover the blanket. Yuucckkss!! After a while then can go bath and relax in the bathtub with the roses.


Day 3 - 9th May 2008 (Fri)
After breakfast, we started our 3rd day journey.
1st place : Taman Ayun Temple. Rp3,000 per entry. This is a park basically. Nothing much special. The weather is so hot. We quickly snap pictures and walk one round then jumped back to the car.
2nd place : Bedugul. Another nice view for lunch. This time we seeing all the padi fields on the hill while having our buffet lunch. But the weather is not as nice as Kintamani.
3rd place : Tanah Lot bazaar and temple. Rp10,000. This is another place to see sunset. The temple is built in the middle of the sea. When low-tide, we can walk to the temple to take pictures and see the sunset. Unfortunately, that day weather not so good, too many clouds, thus cant really see the sunset. The wave there is big, is so nice to listen the sound of the wave. We continue our shopping and bargain day till the stalls almost closed.
4th place : Dinner. This time, we told the local tour not to bring us to those "tourism" place for dinner, coz the food there not as cheap as i thought. So we ask him brought us to mamak stall for dinner.

Day 4 - 10th May 2008 (Sat)

Today is the last day at Bali. Most of the places we have visited. This day, Elvys didnt come to pick us up instead he asked his partner to bring us. For the 3 days we already used to the red van aka Ferrari. Now suddenly changed to Toyota Unser. Although this car is better than the previous car, the driver is lousy. He drive like tortoise. So slow till want to fall asleep. We asked him to drive faster, then he said why you all like fast fast. Of coz la, last day already, sure want to go places that we want before go airport. And he seems like doesnt understand what we trying to tell him. We asking him to bring us to place like Sukawati where can get cheap things. But he brought us to shopping mall. OMG! We told him in English and Malay, still canot understand?? Then i asked him where go sell Bali local product food, he wanted to bring us to Carrefour supermarket. *Puke* Carrefour here also have, why i need to spend my time from spore to Bali. Then he brought us to another shopping complex. Luckily there is a shop that sell local product.
Is time to say goodbye to Bali. We heading to Denpasar airport to check-in. When wanted to enter the departure hall, need to pay the airport taxes. Initially, we thought is Rp50,000. When we went there, omg, price has increased. Rp150,000. All the money we had also not enough as we just kept Rp50,000 at the beginning. No choice, have to go change money to pay the tax. We felt like we are participating the Amazing Race. haha.
Although is 6 of us, we enjoyed the trip pretty much. Looking forward for the next plan --> Kuching.

Each of us took up 2 rides (as 1 will never be enough) . Get the helmet and queue up and ready to Luge it. It was really fun ride. After the rides, weather kinda hot and thirsty, is Ice Cream time.. hahaha.. eat ice-cream and take the skyride back up to the luge place.

Then we proceed to Images of Singapore. Went to watch the 5minutes show in a small theater. Like harry porter, the person in the pictures will talk. hahaha.. After that went to the SkyTower. That make me remind of the time i went to Korea Lottle World themepark, playing 1 of the adventure ride, which is as high as the skytower. It will also slowly go up and turning, till it reaches the peak, it will stop for 10sec, then...... pooomm(fall all the way down), is like ur heart dropping off from mouth. Scary but fun. :p

After the SkyTower, we went to Merlion. Go in the body of the merlion and then took souvenir. Then 2 of Agnes ' friend leaving us as they have appointment dinner. So 4 of us continued our events. Faster we went to buy tickets for Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon. Took the Red line shutter bus to Dolphin Lagoon first to catch the Pink Dolphin performance. They are so cute. I just like dolphins so much. After the performance, we took the Red line bus back to Underwater World to see the fishes.

After that we took the express train back to Vivo to have our dinner. Went to a western restaurant eat, yucks, the food not nice. Blacklisted, dun wanna go back there eat again.

It was a fun and enjoyed day trip.
