Bali Day 1: Ubud Rise and Shine Villa

Finally, after waiting for forever, it was Bali Day. Hohoho. Our flight was at 4.50pm but we decided to meet early at 1pm to have lunch and to let the excited kids bounced around. With companion, they could play the entire day.

We had a simple lunch but the objective was to let the kids burnt off some energy at the playground. They were so excited and bursting with energy to the extent of being irritating. Arrgghhh.

While the kids tumbled, we sat a distant from them to enjoy some peace.

Time passed so quickly and soon it was time to board. Excited was too mild to describe us.

The Liow family was beside us while the rest were in the front.

We took KLM this time. After the last few budget flights, I just knew that I must take a full fledge flight this time. The previous flights were too painful.

The flight was comfortable. Daddy Lim was quick to praise the leg space after being squeezed like sardine the last few budgeted flights. Lol.

On the way to Bali! The kids were very well entertained by the flight entertainment and meals and so were the adults. I managed to watch Beauty and the Beast and started Harry Potter. Woohoo! Even the kids lamented that the flight was too short bcos there were so many movies to watch. Hohoho. The food was nothing to shout about though and I wouldn't even talk about the service, give me SQ anytime.

We touched down on time but there was a long wait at the custom and an even longer wait for the luggage. When we finally got out, we easily found the driver with my name card.

The mini bus that they insisted could carry all of us all was a little of a squeeze with the luggage. Zaky was on my lap and ER had to squeeze with his parents. It was a 1 - 1.5 hr ride to the 6 BR villa in Ubud. Zaky fell asleep on the way and so did my poor legs. I am quite sure my already flat butt has been further flattened through the process; the boy is now a 25kg. Finally, we arrived and I was hoping that I would be able to revive my dead legs. Fortunately, the villa was a stone throw from where we were let off.

The website advertised that the villa was 3 mins' walk from civilisation. I didn't believe it given the last experience and we were all well stocked with snacks and instant noodles. It would be bad to be stuck in the villa with no food and hungry little people.

There was a short walk on a narrow walkway to the villa. We all went "oooooo" and "ahhhhh" upon setting foot in the villa. We were soon settled in while the kids explored. It was then supper time! Dinner was too early and instant noodles were a hit.

Zaky was too tired to eat and asked to turn in early instead. Lil Shauna opted to sleep in the extra bedroom with AN and Boo.

Sleep was difficult for me. It started raining heavily in the night and I was awoken by the water gushing off the roof. Then the dogs were barking and the sound proofing was so bad. I had a nightmare too about the haunted villa. Zzzzzz. Roooaaaarr.. I am tired.
