Busy Bali

**super-long entry that took 2 weekends to finish

^__^
Bali trip, for organizing a conference.
Agak kelakar, sebab org yang tak pernah attend conference, tapi jadi committee in organizing a conference, hihi
Conference dari 10-11 ogos.

Kenapa ada dua? Satu untuk Bali, satu utk Lombok
^___________^
Lombok deserves another entry definitely.
ps: beg kecik masuk dalam beg besar actually


Bertolak dari airport Kuantan pukul 6.30am, dan flight dari KLIA ke Denpasar pukul 8.50am.
Flying duration almost 3 hours. Sampai dalam 12 lebih, tunggu barang lama ok! Sejam lebih baru dapat semua 8 kotak kitorg bawak. 
Ada perkara yang kitorg terlepas pandang waktu ni adalah, list of items yg sepatutnya di declared dalam arrival form tu. And we were lucky ok, sbb kastam diorg bagi lepas je tanpa banyak soal. Dia cuma cakap "next time sila declare ye" :) Memang sangatlah lega!! Xtau la if there will be next time, ihiks...


Kitorg committee ada 11 orang semuanya, agak meriah sebenarnya :p




Airport Ngurah Rai ni cantik, artsy gitu.


Rombongan Cik Kiah dan Encik Din



Entrance to Wina Holiday Villa Kuta Bali.
Holiday villa kan franchise dari Malaysia, dan dipilih sebab hotel ni serves halal food.

Cool gak hotel ni. Sampai je dia bg minty cold towel.


Kerusi hebat, utk wanita hebat!
BWHAHAHAHAHHA
poyo kuasa 32!


Tgk kerusi kat atas tu very intimidating :) Kitorg tukar pakai yang lebih mesra mata.
Ni rehearsal petang tu, tgk table set up, test PA system, mcm2 lagi.



Day 1 ETIC 2015.
Baru perasan, takde gambar proper pun sebelum start conference.
Stok main redahhhhh je.


Tak sempat nak amik gambar sendiri properly pun! 
This is Prof Borgly from France. Aku ingat dia ni sebab bagi proof of payment dalam French! Jenuh nak meng'google-translate'.


Alhamdulillah, the turn outs are not bad. Sebab airport Bali tutup 2 hari sebelum hari kejadian, ramai gak yang cancelled utk datang.


With keynote speakers, and VIPs from other Malaysian Technical Uni.
**ada kepala terselit antara Dr Hadi and Prof Abi -_-

NC UTeM, Prof Bad, Dr Hadi, Prof Abi, Prof Cox, TNC Unimap (muda ok!!) and Dekan UTHM


Parallel session.

Nervous ok! Walaupun almost takde orang, hihi...tapi still nervous. First time kot *gulp*

Lepas abis session utk ptg dalam kul 4.00, keluar jenjalan. Sebab rasa serabut penat dari pagi tertonggeng2, and plus a relief sbb dah lepas present paper :p


Kuta beach.


O yeah! 
Orang collect t-shirts, fridge magnets, keychain etc. Aku collect gambar je, hihi. It's free!! hahahaha...kedekut giles!



Jauh jugak la menapak dari hotel.


Ouh, saje amik gambar ni. Tak pernah ada banyak USD cenggini :p
Ni honorarium for keynote speakers, and best paper awards. Sebelum bagi kat diorg, meh amik gambar dulu.
 

Grand dinner!





Ridzuan yang pakai songkok tu, official photographer. Tapi utk tarian ni, dia surrender takmo amik gambar :p Dari mula sampai abis dia main henpon je, hihi.




Dr Azam Taufik from USM. Ramah mesra orang nya :) 

Since ramai yang cancelled last minutes, kitorg allow je participants bawak families.


The committees


 Day 2 of ETIC
Happy 34th Birthday to me
^___^

Our 3rd keynote speaker cancelled his trip, hence the conference finished early.



Kita bungkus!!


Membawa diri masing-masing, around Kuta.



Out of 5 girsl, sorang je boleh bawak motor. So kitorg jalan kaki je. Takkan nak tumpang lelaki2 hasben org tu, hohooo :p


Foot massage :D 
Hadiah utk diri sendiri.


Beachwalk shopping mall. Cantik mall ni.


Sunset dalam pukul 6.15pm. Kitorg sampai just nice je matahari dah nak terbenam...ramai giler orang kot. Yang couple2 tu duk la peluk2 sambil tgk sunset kengkonon romantik, muahahha.



Balik. Dinner dekat hotel, dan discuss utk itinerary jenjalan esok pagi.

Itinerary yang mampat-padat-ketat.
We ended up omitted 3 activities :p






Tanah Lot.


They were lucky ok, time kitorg nak amik gambar, guard dah tiup2 wisel suh kuar dari kawasan ni sbb air tengah pasang.


Ramai orang, jenuh nak dapat clean shot without other people in the frame. 






Suami-suami orang ni belikan baju kelawar utk isteri masing-masing. Here's one conversation:
Laki1: Warna mana ye cantik nak bg isteri ni
Pompuan1: Pilih la yg nampak cantik kat mata sendiri. Nanti you jugak nak tgk.
Laki1: Bagi I, tak pakai apa lagi cantik *sambil sengih2*
Pompuan1: *roll eyes*





2+ hours from Tanah Lot to Kintamani village. Tertido2 dalam kete kot.
We had buffet, harga IDR100k, dalam RM30. Food wise, so-so je, but the view is magnificent!!
^__^


My 'date', Mr Kintamani :)






After lunch, we were supposed to visit Bali coffee plantation and this paddy terrace, but we decided not to, sebab utk ke Uluwatu, it will take another 3+ hours, dgn heavy traffic sbb orang blk keje ptg. 

Snapped few pictures from our van, cukuplah buat syarat.


The guys' van arrived earlier than us in Uluwatu, so diorg sempat la snapped gambar.


Kitorg sampai dalam 5.45pm gitu. Kat Uluwatu ni, plan nya adalah utk tgk Kecak dance and it starts at 6.00pm.



Sunset kat sini sure cun!


Sampai je Uluwatu temple, tak sempat bergambar beria, terus kena pergi tpt diorg akan buat performance.

Dan semua tempat dah penuh ok!!
Laki2 tu dapat seat best -_-


Rai and I were 'lucky' to be seated next to the performers' entrance
-____-
ps: see our expression.we didn't realize they are coming from our side.


Tok Sami merenjis2


Sunset

Kecak dance is not as scary as Barongan dance. But the thing is, the performance is from 6.00-7.00pm, yang mana kalau kat Malaysia, keadaan adalah mcm pukul 7.00-8.00 malam.
Yang mana, sangatlah tidak elok utk berada di luar rumah time maghrib-maghrib ni ha....setan berkeliaran kot. Anggaplah ni adalah experience, yang rasanya lps ni tak perlulah nak tgk dah. Cukuplah sekali :)


One of the character in the dance, si monyet yang nakal ni, datang kacau mat saleh kat dpn kitorg. Rasanya diorg ni faham utk tidak kacau org yg pakai tudung kot :)


This is why they call it Kecak and Fire dance.


After Uluwatu, we skipped itinerary dinner at Jimbaran and went shopping for souvenirs instead.
Krisna ni mcm supermarket je.


Balik hotel, dinner, kemas brg utk ke Lombok pulak
^__^


Diorg balik Kuantan

Till then Bali......
Next entry, LOMBOK!
