Last month, I went to Bali with my ex-college mates after planning it for months. I had a thing with planning travelling schedule and couldn't help myself to always check for places to go and revised and revised the schedule.

So we spent like 6 days there from Ubud for the first day, next we went to Nusa penida by boat, on our 3rd day we spent the day around the South of Bali, the next 2 days we went cafe and bar hopping around Kuta and Seminyak.

I have came to Bali a few times but there's always something new to explore there.

Bali squad 

First day, we went straight to Ubud. It was raining till afternoon and it's gloomy all day, we had to cancel our very first destination to Tegalalang rice terrace. I was so bummed cause it's like our highlight in Ubud and we missed it,
After lunch at Babi Guling bu Oka  we went to Ubud Market for some shopping. I've been eyeing for a nice brown rattan bag which have been getting so popular these years, sold everywhere in Bali.

variety of sizes, colors and shapes


Then we continued to Wanagiri Hidden Hill, which was, literally, a tourist spot made for instagrammer. Sadly, when we came it's quite late so it's quite misty and super cold.


The iconic Balinese gate at Handara golf &resort. But if you have time, I suggest you go to Lempuyang Temple, I don't know about the size or height of the gate but you can see Mount Agung closer too from there.



we watched the traditional dance in Uluwatu Temple. The place was packed with people as you can see in the picture. But the show is worthy to see, if you are in Bali.


Another to-go spot, located in Nusa Penida. We took ferry early in the morning from Sanur. There should be a lot of Nusa Penida tour that you can find online. I think there's another departure spot beside Sanur but I'm not sure where.

You have to wear the yellow tie when you arrived in this spot. But only required to be used in this spot .

Just recently opened for public, Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park.  


My another favorite about Bali is the colorful, conceptual and just instragammable cafes and restaurants. Most of the hippest spot are in Seminyak area.

The avocado factory, for all you avocado loversss
Actually I'm not a fan of avocado if it's not mixed with anything, I couldn't stand the smell haha but this place is actually nice. you should try it! 





 The Parachute. One of the newest spot in town, super pretty and relaxing place and has one of the most delicious pork ribsss in my opinion




Sunset catcher spot. The Lawn Canggu. Enough said.

What's Bali without this iconic gate? 


We stayed for 2 days in Cara-Cara Inn , Kuta. Super recommended ! Everything here is very eye catching and just youthful. We rented the floats just to take some pictures lol. 




Miss you Bali !

The one where....

How's life?

I know I'm so late but I've been watching this 90's American TV series 'Friends' and I likeeee it so much. It has been my mood booster ever since. Its funny and silly most of the times, but I just love their friendship and how they always support each other, and sometimes fight and break up with each other too. Their stories are very realistic and full of misadventures that we might encounter in our lives and that's what I love most about it. They have 10 seasons for the TV show and I'm now on the 7th season. I have mixed feeling about this, I want to know the ending but on the other hand I don't want to finish it.

The Collateral Beauty

Last week, I finally got back from Beijing after finishing my Chinese language studies there for one year. I felt like I was living in a dream now that I have left the life there. Cause now I have to focus again on my career and getting back at my responsibilities. One year passed so fast, and like usual me style, I have a lot of things that I regretted that I haven't done or failed to do.

And my friends there, I will miss some of them a lot. We always passed the days together, most of our times we spent together and it felt too normal, too usual until we ended up not realizing we have made many memories together. It's like 2 weeks before our last days that we began to appreciate more of our times together. Even though I know it's just a phase that will eventually passed, right now, I'm soaking in every memories, good and bad ones . Guess that's life, it's imperfect and perfect at the same time.
