Nuffnang's 2015 Company Trip to BALI (Part 2)

Sorry, i took so long to get back on the remaining places we visited =( Was rather busy the whole week. Company is actually heading towards a new direction kinda thing. Lotsa thing to get adapt to and learn.

So, right after we visited the Holy Spring, the 4th place that we dropped by is the Gao Gajah, the elephant cave.

This rock carving must have been around for ages la. The balinese are very famous with all this carvings.

Rocks stacked up, must have a purpose la but i never ask Gerdik. 

Saw many nuffies taking picture here so i asked Denise to help me take one too. =) 

But, the sad thing about this pond is that, the water is fucking shallow but there just a few gigantic fishes swimming inside, there were only one sunken spot, so the fishes had to choice but to stick to the same spot only. wahlao, where can like that le! Torturing the fishes so bad!

 In front of the cave, Boss Tim and Nuffies Malaysia acting silly!

 and we have Bryan with no sense of stability! LOL

There weren't a lot of things in the cave and it actually smells quite bad la tbh. So quickly went in snap a few pictures and came out. These are all prayer related things la.

 Walking downwards, there is more things to see!

Apparently, there were something building here but someone predicted that in earthquake was about to take place therefore the constructed stopped completely and they separated a huge rock into two. Now, it is just water falling and streaming down.

Just right beside the two huge rock being all posey. HAHAH

Lunch was at this fancy restaurant and they only serve Bebek Goreng (Fried Duck). I personally love bebek the last trip i tried it but this one, it was too dry la.

Next stop is the coffee plantation. Not a coffee lover but idk how on earth i spent RM140 there just buying teas and what not. Roselle Tea, Mangosteen Tea and Vanilla Coffee. Farking expensive to think about it. LOL

The lady roasting the infamous Kopi Luwak, solely produced by Cervix Cat, these animal are not tame animal, they get really wild when provoked. They only choose the best berries to consume and their waste are made in coffee, very very expensive coffee to be precise.

Cervix Cat sleeping, they sleep during day time and is active during night time.

Boss Tim being all fascinated with how the Kopi Luwak is boiled. HAHAAH

I guess all of us were fascinated la coz we never actually see how coffee is made. We only order them from Starbucks and it is machine made so ya! 

The choices of tea! =)

Final tourist spot - Tanah Lot. A temple you are able to visit during low tide and during hide tide there is no way you can get in or out of the temple.

Entrance, noticed that every Balinese temple, there is you beautiful grand arch to enter the temple. 

Potong flag pole but here you go the temple during high tide, didn't managed to get into the temple again. The last trip also i could only see it from far.

We had ample time to explore the place, happen to come across this small coffee shop with Cervix Cats and BATS!

 A fat and tame one this one. No idea how it became so tame though. =\

BIG BATS! hanging upright just to pee. LOLOLOL.

After that we went back to the hotel to get bath and change and head out for our own dinner. Had babi guling but definitely not the authentic one cause the authentic one is fried pork skin but this one idk what was i eating LOL.

After dinner, we headed to the club. Boss Tim joined us man! He is super ons la! He opened 5 bottles that night and all of us partied like crazy la, esp Tim, never seen him so crazy before with his ONLY dance move - shuffling. LOL. No joke, he only knows how to shuffle LOL.

Partied till 2AM and the next day we had a freaking 9AM - 6PM meeting. Everyone was pretty much zombie-fied. LOL

Day 3 was pretty much just meeting after meeting after meeting after meeting and more meeting, like i mentioned, 9AM - 6PM just trying to absorb a lot!

After that, we were all rewarded with a great meal. Fine Dining at Metis.

Ending the Bali blogpost here. Actually I got a bit lazy trying to explain everything la. So, i will just allow the picture to speak for itself la. lol

Toodles~

Nuffnang's 2015 Company Trip to BALI (Part 1)

Self explanatory title. :)

1st time on a real company trip! ^^ and I had a lot a lot a lot of fun.

This year's trip was planned by the Singapore Nuffies and the destination was Bali (12th - 15th Jan).

Day 1: Arrival, Team Building and Dinner at Nuri's

Off we go on Air Asia to the land of love. I was seated beside Ophelia and En Wei on the way there. Super eggcited already to start off our trip.

Arrived the air port at about 12+pm, no time difference at all. Stayed at Park Regis Kuta which did not meet my hotel expectation. We arrived super late so we had to rush like mad as everyone was supposed to gather at 3PM to depart from the hotel for our team building activities. Only managed to capture one pic:

Colorful boats lined up by the German beach, situated south of Kuta. The color was dirty to be honest, we were only there for our team building activity. The beach at central kuta aint that bad, the last trip me and Eric managed to even swim but this beach is filthy la. Haha.

Team building ended at 6PM, get back to the hotel to shower and prepare to have dinner with Boss Ming. SG boss brought the MY and China team for Naughty Nuri Ribs. it's FUCKING AWESOME~ all of us were mad hungry, we didn't actually managed to snap any sort of picture. Bill was on boss Ming, all of us devoured the food like we have not eaten for 3 days!

But before we got to eat, we had to bloody queue for like 40 mins la.

 Beware, piggy crossing!

Don't be deceived by the number of people you see, it is mad full house inside the restaurant.

All I can say is dinner was fantastic! and that concludes Day 1 of #NuffiesAroundTheWorld #NuffiesTrip

Day 2: Fun-filled exploration of Bali

1st stop for Day 2 is a shop which makes jewelry made out of 95% Silver and 5% copper. Saw some expensive shizza. Intended to buy some stuff, like a simple ring or a chain but nothing appealed to me la. Those that did were too pricey.

But here are a few pics of mua and how are the jewelry made.

All handmade.

3 Musketeers that sticked together throughout this whole trip. I find this two super interesting la, the way they communicate with each other really crack me up la sometimes. LOL

2nd stop is the Tengalalng Rice Terrace. I was here last year July too during my 1st trip to Bali.

Panorama view of the rice terrace.

The view is magnificent, the last trip when I was here it was a bit breezy but that day we were greeted with just a scorching sun. grrrr~ sweat like mad and stings so badly!

3rd stop for the day, the Holy Spring.

Hate these short and fat legs!  

Nuffies all dressed in Sarong, legs need to be covered in all Bali sacred places. 

#NuffiesOOTD might as del take a pic with my Sarong which i did return this round. hahaha. The last time i took it back to the hotel. erkkk~

The local goes under the paip to cleanse their soul and also the guide mention that if people have bad dreams and they do not want those bad dreams to come true, the holy water will cleanse it all off. wow, their belief!!

Before going under the paip, they are supposed to do some offering 1st. Flower petals are one of the item listed. People in Bali are mostly Hindu and they strongly believe in their religion. 

Look at how clear the water is, you can even look at the ground. Now, to show you where does the water comes from, it is super mysterious.

What exactly are the nuffies looking at?

To answer the question above, here it is!

Can you see like something bubbling out of the darker sand area? The guide mentioned that as long as it is bubbling, you know that water is still coming out of it. lol. Water is super duper clear and we saw birds diving low to catch their favorite fishes. Poor fishy who decides to swim on the surface. lol

and, we have us lining up, tug in our sarang for a group picture! Credit Bryan Chin for the beautiful pic.

Mr guide, Gerdik, that's his name, he speak good english therefore making it so much more easier to understand. Thank you for bringing us around <3

 Panorama view, with a few balinese on the right side praying.

While we were on our way out, someone told me that the President's home is just right above. WOW, the last time I came by, Wayan didn't even told me la. it damn kao beautiful even though i was just standing below.

There were a separate pond with tone of big ass fishes in it. Gerdik mentioned that these fishes used to be in the pond where the holy spring but it got to distracting so the caretaker shifted it to this pond. There were so many, goes by the hundreds and all fucking fat! Wonder who feeds them.

This post is getting a bit lengthy, gonna stop here. Blog about the remaining trip in my next post. Don't forget to check back for the remaining places we visited! =)
