Kittywifey and I decided to take a short break and took off to Nusa Dua, Bali one week after her first trimester. We've never been to Bali before and it's been awhile since we took a break overseas and this will be BB's first flight (technically)! haa..We took Garuda airlines as SQ has no seats on the flight back and we've to say the flight there was not as good as the flight back. Encountered a really blur (senior)stewardess on the flight there but the return flight were full of professional ones. so overall Garuda wasn't as bad as we thot it wld be.
We "HEART" Nusa Dua! it is peaceful, quiet and the hotel that Kittywifey chose was great! And because of a divine delay in our arrival flight, by the time we arrive at the hotel (1130pm) the on-duty manager upgraded us from a sea-view room to a sea-view suite!! the suite is so huge like x5times our flat! haa.. praise God!
We made a deliberate effort to do nothing for this trip and just spent most of our time relaxing at the beach and pool, we did muster the adventurous spirit in us and went off to Kuta one evening.. sorry to Kuta fans,,, we didn't like the place at all... it was all too cluttery and we find ourselves constantly comparing it to patong beach and we find ourselves missing the latter more and more as we soldier-on and walked down the stretches of Kuta...
Wifey reading her "shopaholic" book and showing off her sexylegs.. =)
Which brings me to my next rant.. Phuket pple > Bali pple.
Not that we met any crooks *actually one airport shop charge me extra for mineral water by hiding behind the counter & tearing off the price tag and another offered to drag our luggage at the collection area thn asked us for $ (-_-)~ * and generally Bali pple are nice and all but somehow you feel that the sincerity level is not there, and the megawatt smile that they give to you is not of the hospitality kind but more of a monetary "hope you give fat tips" kinda feeling. Hope I've not offended anyone but that's just the way it was for me.
We enjoyed the trip but Kittywifey had food-poisoning on the day we were supposed to fly back to S'pore, got me really worried (Kitty puke count for whole day = 8 times) and we had to see the hotel doc, admist all of the worries we confessed of her wholeness in Christ and she was fine and well by the time we got back to S'pore at around 1am. =)
P.S: we now know why ang-mohs always order drinks without ice, cause they make ice cubes from their tap water and that's where the contamination lies. =P
Wifey had to wait for 8hours at the hotel before our flight back, so it was tough for her but she still managed to stay glam! haa.. (above pic is her napping aft 6th bleh-ing...)
Looking back, the time we had was fantastic for the most parts & the sunshine was accompanied by the most valiant of sea breezes you can imagine, and though we were glad to come back, we would definitely think of visiting Nusa Dua again..
Bye Bye!! P.S: We found some stone monkey statues round the hotel and decided to take a series of pics with them (hope u can tell who's the monkey), Enjoy!
note to kittywifey: though its unlikely we can travel before the start of your 3rd tri, but I promise I'll bring you for a deserved break next year when our princess is more settle oki? =D
