Live Your Life and also Mine

Anyway, about the trip to Bali. The reasons why I went there (after 15 long years) are :
1. My cousins, Alvin, came to Indonesia to spent his holiday. We haven't met more than six months and to tell you the truth, I've missed him and really wanted to spent time with him. We had been together for 18 years and then He went to Singapore for his study. SO, we all go to Bali together.
2. My lil sister, Fafa, has never been to Bali. And she keep begging my parents to go there.

Before we went to Bali. I went to Mall Kelapa Gading with my big bro and my cousins, Alvin and Daniel. We just wanted to kill some time and buy some books, snacks and all the things which We had to get for the trip to Bali. And we also watch a movie at XXI. We watched Eclipse. (You can read the reviem at AM-Movie Mania blog. Click HERE) Don't you think it's weird that the boys want to watch this? Haha. It was simply because Alvin and my bro, Edo, had already watch the other movies. So we have no choice and just watch it.

We went there by airplane, Garuda. Flight at 6.30 in the morning. So we had to go to the airport at 4.30 WIB. I had to wake up at 4 o'clock! OMG! Sadly, I couldn't get any sleep! I just can't make my eyes closed and sleep, so I just read a novel till the time.

First, we went to the hotel. We just could put the bags there because the check-in was at 14.00 WITA. The hotel name was Ariston Hotel. Near Kuta Square (around 15 minutes).Then we went to ULUWATU. There was a cliff temple that built on top of high cliff overlooks the Indian Ocean.
THIS was the place where I met my BAD LUCK. On the way to the cliff, we had to walk on a road full of monkeys!! And when I lost my attention, one of the monkeys grabbed my FAVORITE CAP! The funny thing was I was in shock at first and there was a time I got my reflect and pull back my cap. But, some of the monkeys came near me and I became afraid so I have no choice to let it go. T^T. And it peed on my cap and tear it out!! AND also what I shouted when it got my cap was NOT, "OMG! MY CAP" but "135.000!!!" Haha. It was the price of the cap. I bought it myself with my cousins couple of months ago. And the embrassing moment was when I cried in the car! Not that I really sad, but I was so angry! then my cousin, Alvin who sat beside me just pet my head and lend me his iPhone. And the others just told me to buy a new one.

I already forgot when and where exactly in order. But I'm going to tell you where I went and what I was doing there.

1. UBUD. We went there to buy things. It was famous by its arts like painting and sculpture. And we also try some food. There was a pondok which is famous by pork dishes. When we got there, It was REALLY full. We had to wait for around 30 minutes. Some people like it, but I don't really like it. So do my brother and cousins. Even my mom and dad didn't want to try it. Not that it was really horrible taste, it just doesn't suit with my tounge.

2. GWK. Garuda Wisnu Kencana. It was a cultural park at Bali. We all first looked at the statue of Garuda. It was supposed to be one with the statue of Wisnu. But unluckily, it was not finished. As the anchor point of GWK, the 20 meter tall copper statue of the Lord Wisnu has been placed temporarily on the highest hill of Ungasan. And the 18 meters tall statue of Garuda was placed right behind the Plaza Wisnu temporarily. And FYI, the latest addition is the hands of Wisnu. It was placed temporarily at Tirta Agung. You can look at them near the gate of GWK. It was really funny to look at two hands in the middle of the park. Haha.







3. DREAMLAND. It was one of the most beautiful beach in Bali. This white sandy beach was placed not far from Uluwatu. We played there, volly beach and build a sand castle. And we also had some food there.
4. NUSA DUA. This is the perfect place to get some quality time with friends! We were given some package of games. My cousins and I chose Scuba Diving, Flying Fish, Banana Boat, Glass Bottom and also Turtle Island. The most exhausting game was Scuba Diving. And also the most difficult. It was really hard to breath using your mouth instead of your nose. It took me more than 15 minutes just to adjust it so that I could went into the water. All we had to do down there just to look at some little fishs and gave them some bread so they came near us. Banana Boat. You all must be know about it. And Flying Fish, all you have to do just lie down on a some kind of plastic boat and it was being pulled by a motor boat and then it was fly! It was some kind of interesting and enjoyable. Glassbottom was just sitting on a large boat with glass in the middle so that we can look down in the water. The last thing was Turtle Island. There was a big turtle! And we can took a picture with some of them. There was also iguanas, falcon, snake, and many more. We also had young coconuts there! ^^








5. TANAH LOT. We went there to look at the Tanah Lot Temple. This temple was built on top of rocky land sea. It was place in the middle of the sea (it was actually not THAT FAR from the beach. Just a couple meters.) You can go there on foot. But it was dangerous to go there when the sea was high (pasang). When we were there, there was a boy who was dragged by the waves when he wanted to go to the temple. People became panicked. Luckily, there was a life-guard who help him.
There was also a holly snack. You can look at it in the cave there.


6. We also watch KECAK DANCE and BARONG DANCE. My mom and my aunt had to explain me the story! haha.. I didn't really understand what the dance meant. I mean the plot story. It was all because I was TOO lazy to read the plot story which already given before the show began. XP
My dad and my mom told me that the show which we watched, was actually just the short one. The real one was actually much longer than that. Too Bad.






7. KUTA BEACH and KUTA SQUARE! This was the actually the paradise! Haha. I met bunch of "bule" there. HANDSOME and Sexy! Haha. I met a guy who REALLY look like Jensen Ackles and also Oly Pettigrew. And there was also a Russian Guy with his sexy accent. Haha. We watched sunset there. And we also do the shopping at Kuta Square.








8. MANY MANY MORE.. I could spent ONE DAY to tell you all the activities which I did there. It was a long five days there. Haha. It was so much FUN. Beside the monkey accident. =="

I'll upload the photos other time.. ^^

Then, we arrived at Mall Kelapa Gading 3. And I already forget about it. The first thing which make me laugh was when we (Maria and I) shouted in the toilet room. Calling for CK. We were at first waiting for her at iBox, but then Andre said, "Where's CK? It has been so long." Then Maria and I went there, and shouted "CK" in the toilet room. Knowing she wasn't there, we went out. Andre just kept saying "She has been kidnaped!". Then, we called her. And believe it or not, CK was actually in the next store. Haha..

Then we went to VIVA. We played bowling. Me againts CK and Maria, and then Tony was againts Andre. In the first game, we all agreed that the one who got the worst score have to buy us a popcorn!! It was actually really fun. Watching them made that funny move. And when the ball went to the glinder (I don't really now what it called). Andre (as usual) said that he can't play bowling. But it was him who made Strike and Spare over and over again. And then Tony just became desperate coz his first ball ALWAYS didn't touch anything. CK was actually very funny. Coz at first, we thought that she would be the one to buy us popcorn. Her 3 chances were scored zero!! Haha. And Maria was the calmest of all of us. Haha.. Me? I don't know. just crazy as usual. And guess who lost?? It was Maria! Haha. Poor her. And me.. was the WINNER. Even though it was not really true. The winner was actually Andre.
Then Andre, Tony and I made the second game. Andre was playing for himelf, Tony and I became one team. And the result?? BAD. Andre became really good. Tony and I lost from him for more than 40 points!

And then, I suggested or insisted on playing bilyard. I've never tried it! I just want to try a new game! We didn't play well. As a matter of fact, We maybe made the longest 8 ball game! Haha.. And of course the winner were Andre and Tony. Tony became really good after the woman who worked there teach him. Haha. Maybe she just get bored watching our bad play. But, we just being crazy and didn't care about it. We also took some pictures! It was really fun.

Then, we went to Cinema XXI. This was a real crazy thing. We tried to watch movie at Premier. WOW. It was really exclusive. There was only 32 people in one room! And ticket was actually great. When we came in (we were late coz we ate first at Bowl Rice), the movie was already begun. For the 10 minutes, All we did were amazed how fluffy the sofa was. And we also searched for the blanket. And we also realized that we seem so "kampungan"?? Haha. Again, It didn't matter. And then we watched the movie. Title : "The Book of Eli". I had watched the trailer and it was cool. But, after watching the movie, I said that the movie was actually kinda boring. There was so much talk. And silent. I even fell asleep for a couple of minutes. OMG. It was really made me sleepy there. There was one funny things during the movie. Maria and I was looking Andre and Tony. We said" Wow, how could they not use the blanket? It is really cold in here." Then Tony made that position. A position which make people knew that you were feeling cold! Then we asked them, "Why didn't you use the blanket?" And they answered, "There is only one blanket!" Haha.. They two were so kind. Then we gave them one blanket. Then they use it. It was really funny.


After the movie, we want to came to Periplus. I really crazy about Sherrilyn Kenyon and want to collect all her books. IF I could. Then Andre said, "Do you like yoghurt? Want to try Heavenly Blush?" Of course we agreed. There was a promo. If we buy the large one, we can add unlimited topping. Then we bought it. We put as many toppings as it can hold. Haha. Koko Crunch, Milo, Purple Jelly, Nata de Coco (CK was actually like it. They give us more than 3 spoons since it was unlimited) and also almond and strawberry. Haha. And we ate it TOGETHER. 1 bowl of yoghurt full of toppings for 5 people! Haha. We seems like a bunch of guys who were really starving! Haha.

And then sadly, my mom called. That she and my dad was already in the lobby. So I had to go home. They accompony me to the door, then they went. Maybe to Petra Toys. Haha.

It was really really fun!! And a great experience!! Thx guys!! we surely have to do this again in the next time!! Hehe.. wish u have so much fun as I am!

Thank to all of MY BEST FRIENDS!! I finally have a speaker for my iPod at home! it's really a surprise for me! And this is the best (and also the most expensive one, I should say) present from my friends!!

ALTEC LANSING MoonDANCE Home!!
Thanks for : Maria & Adi, CK, Vivi, Pauline, Angie & Giov (gayunk) , Marshya, Stefani (Marni), Andre, Tony, Evander, Uni, Christopher (Aki), Edu, Willy and Jeremy!!

Actually, the reason why I was so interested to go Dufan, because Wahyu promised me to buy me the entrance ticket. You had to know that It was really expensive. Rp 140.000,- !!! I really run out of money after that! Haha. But, unluckily he late!! So I had to buy the ticket myself.


First, We played Kicir-Kicir. I sat with Evander. Ditya with his brother. And Aki with Boss. Wahyu and Vinsen was late. I sat face to face with Ditya and his brother. It was really funny. His brother shouted like hell. Also Ditya couldn't stop talking. And Evander was really calm or scared to death so he couldn't speak at all. Wkwkwk...

Next, We played Tornado. So sad that Ditya's brother didn't want to play this game because he was scared. So there were 5 of us who played this game. And Ditya talked to much about this game. And this was the first time Aki played this game, so I think he was a little bit scared. Haha. I sat in the middle of them. Two on my left and the other two on my right. Actually Ditya's brother was made the picture of us with his camera. But, he hadn't uploaded it, so that I couldn't poasted it yet.

And then, Wahyu and Vinsen arrived and joint us. I didn't know wheter We were crazy or what. We played Poci-Poci. You can imagine it?? wkwk. It was Wahyu who suggested this game. And we agreed it. What was on ours mine? unbelievable.. After that, It was really make me dizzy. We also played Lorong Sesat (Rumah Jahil or Rumah Kaca) and also Rongo Rongo which you know it as Rumah Miring.

After that we went to Kawasan Hikayat. And played so much game. Like and Pontang-Pontang and Ombang-Ambing. I sat with Vivi. She joined us after we played Rongo Rongo. At first, she was with my classmates but she wanted to be with me. I wonder why. After that, I really feel like my head was spinning. So that we agreed to go to MacD for lunch. and then we saw it!! The endless queue!! Arghh.. My stomach was growling! And then we saw that Perang Bintang was empty of people. So we played there first. I got 12600 points. I lost with Boss and Vinsen. They got more than 13000 points!!
After that, We really have lunch. We were so hungry!

The next game after lunch was Ontang-Anting. I sat in the middle. Vivi and Vinsen was on my back. And in front of me were Ditya and Wahyu. My leg was really get hurt. Ditya's chair was hit my leg. Awww...That was bad.
Our next destination was Halilintar. There was a long queue, but it didn't take so much time. So we played it. I still sat with Vivi. She actually scared to play this game. But in the end, She wanted to play it. She really made us confused after the end of this game. She said that her handphone was gone!! She put it on her pocket before the game, and after it, It was gone! Wew,, we really think that the phone was fell in the middle of game. But luckily, the operator found it on the "train". Haha.

After that, Vivi left us and back to my classmates. So we became 8 of us again. We actually wanted to play Arung Jeram. But we can hardly accepted that we had to queue that long. So We went to Kawasan Amerika again and we played Kicir-Kicir again. Wahyu and Ditya's brother didn't want to join us to play this game. Ditya's brother was sick of it and Wahyu seem to scared to play that. Ditya was the most motivated one to play this game. He sat with Vinsen this time.

We went to Kora-Kora then. Luckily, We went there when the queue was not that long. I was the one who really like this game. I motivated them to stand up when the boat was swinging. And Vinsen was really interested on that one. I sat on the booth of the boat with Vinsen, Boss and Evander. Vinsen, Boss and Ditya were enjoyed it. They was dare to try what I suggested. Haha.Evander left us because he was already picked up by his father.

The last game was Niagara. Wahyu was the one who really want to play this game. Me, actually a little bit scared of this game. I didn't know why. But, in the end, I agreed to accompany Wahyu to played this game. There was 4 of us who played this game. Me, Vinsen, Wahyu and the others didn't want to.

After that, We went home. Actually I was left behind with Ditya and his brother since my driver was not arrive yet. So three of us went to Starbuck Coffee to wait for the pick up. Around6.30 p.m, my driver was finally came. Ditya's parents also finally came. And that was the end of our happy day! Hahaha..

That was really nice! I hope we can have that happy time again! With Maria and Adi, Anne and Andre, Pauline, Jere, Angie, and others!! ^^

From the left to the right :

Pauline, Anne, Rebekha, Angie, Me(Aurel), Jeremy, and Adi.

Forget all about it. Btw, the party was great. The theme was a hollywood scene. Kath, became a girl who want to be a hollywood star. There was a drama. really funny.. And you know what? For students at tere, you all know Billy, right? He became a "banci" wkwk.. but, at first, we all didn't know who he/she is, but we recognized his bracelets. wkwk. his legs were so sexy. ^^V

Btw, There were a lot of games too. so funny. Made me laughed all the time till the end of the party..

I couldn't say so much about this. I'm too lazy to typed it all. just have to know that the party was great . and FUNNY too. wkwk

New year... Umm, really, not better than the previous, but still enjoyable. My friends who live near mine who spend much time together, they all spend their day in the other country or city. But, there're still a few friends, so we did the celebration together. Not so much to do. Just having a barbeque party, games etc. 

what the worst part was during the game. we played cards, "chapsa" or whatever it called. And I had just learned it. SO, I lose all the time. There was (mmm,,) a punishment for the one who lose. So there I was. doing my punishment. Not really difficult, and suprisingly I enjoy it! why? because the punishment was to drink the alcoholic drink, such as vodka, corona, cinzano, baileys etc. The other game was "polisi-maling" or "cop-thief". Haha. OF COURSE, I win!! haha. 8 of 10! Great!! I mostly played as the thief. I was wondering, may be I have the talent, aren't I? wkwk. 

So, That's all. doing the barbeque (and let the corn burned to death, because It was forgotten by a pack of rebel who was doing seriously the game). And then, I went back to my lovely home around at 2 a.m and slept!! though my head was spinning hard and my stomach was full of butterfly. I manage it. And dreamed happy dream..

How about you? Enjoy your new year celebration? wkwkwk
