Chrysanthemum Jelly~

Saw this from other blog and it's very simple !
Just nice my coll went back to his homeland in China and gave us a pack of top grade chrysanthenum!!


Boiled the chrysanthenum tea and the chrysantheum flower 'open' very nicely! Unlike the previous time I boil using another type of chrysanthenum.

Requested Lervin to help me in making this and he's happy! Sometimes when I bake, I let him join in as well. Hands-on is a way of learning as well~ =)

Decorated with apps~
Love iphone apps! See how pretty it made my photos~

Love him lots !!

Bali retreat - Day 1

17 Feb 12 ~ 19 Feb 12
Bali, Indonesia

9.45am flight via Air Asia
7.00am to reach Changi Airport T1

Body aches so much during the flight… That’s the problem with Airasia…
Anyway nothing beats travelling with a big group of colleagues !
We had already arranged and planned our itinerary before the trip as we have a coll who is a Indonesian.
It’s always better to get the local people helping with our planning. And it’s cheaper as well. =)

Arrive at the hotel and the security is quite tight. 2 barriers and they need to scan our baggage using the Baggage X-ray scanner just like the airport!
As the rooms are not ready yet. So we left our lugguage with the tour agent and they will bring it up to our room. =)
Here's the entrance ~

Shopping and touring after lunch !

Quite a few hiccups along the way.. But still we managed to visit the places that we want. =) Best buy is from Oley Oley wholesale shop. The things there are really cheap compared to outside (Bali). And I got myself a sundress for less than $10 !! Beach short for kids at less than $2 and the material is pretty good! Got a kinky bottle opener for hus and a pretty cute candle burner than comes with different type of fragrance for sis. Time is pretty rush as we only have half hour to shop there. =(

Tanah Lot

The tiny island was formed by the gradual erosion of the ocean tide over thousands of years. The temple of Tanah Lot is said to have been founded by the 16th-century priest Nirartha, one of the last priests to come to Bali from Java.

The temple of Tanah Lot stands on a rocky island just off the southwest coast of Bali. One of Bali's most sacred sea temples, Tanah Lot is dedicated to the guardian spirits of the sea. The temple itself is said to be guarded from evil by the sea snakes that inhabit the caves below.














Went back and here's our beautiful room ! Some are taken in the day...

Bali retreat - Day 2 rafting / Party ~

Telaga Waji River. （Level：3～3.5）

Telaga Waja becomes very wonderful Bali rafting point because the location is combined with patches of green fields and hills that shelter. You can enjoy some beautiful scenery while driving your adventure boat in Telaga Waja, which is very popular in Bali. Water that flowed freely with few riffles and boulders as obstacles to be a great choice for the adventurer to adrenaline as well as test your guts. Telaga Waja rafting despite having almost 5 meters high, but it is safe to conduct rafting.


Ayung River　（Level：2～3）

Ayung River flows through north of ubud and an unhurried calm flow is a characteristic.　It go down by the boat all way, no detour of walking.　The scenery along the river is tropical trees grow thick and the right tropical jungle. Pass the many waterfalls on the way. You can watch the wild monkey and colorful birds lucky. Because there is no big drop, even child can enjoy it.

Majority chose the adventurous river which is Telaga Waji River !!
Thanks to my coll who organise this rafting and we got at a cheap price @ US$30 !
Usual price is around US$50+. =)

As we are not allowed to bring our belongings on board, the rafter keep all our valuables in a waterproof bag which he will carry throughout the 2hrs (12km) of rafting. Thus not much photos taken….
Very fun and exciting journey which lotsa obstacles to overcome ! If I have to chance to go again, rafting will be on my top list !





















After the rafting, we had to climb that freaking 400 steps up !!
These women had to deflat the float, place them on their head and walk up hundreds of steps! Tried carrying it and it's very very heavy. At certain point, they just sat down and rest. Imagine I'm not carrying anything and I'm panting and sweating like hell. Not to say them... But am proud of myself that I climbed all the way up without stopping.. Legs were like jellyyyyyyyy.......


Rushing back to hotel to prepare for the party !

This is the dress I bought at Oley Oley !














They always get super crazy after drinking....


Clubbing !
Left the dinner early and we went Legian to club. Whole stretch of street are clubhouse!
We went to this particular Skybar and I had to pay S$10/- with a free drink as I didn't bring my passport along. International tourists get free entrance with 2 drinks !



Left at 1.30am as the place is too stuffy !
Good as well.. Have to wake up early the next day for Rafting !
