Bcos we were in Hardrock and they have a gym, we agreed that we would go to the gym. Finally, I get to use the gym equipment after 2 days of kickboxing HiiT and I have companions! We met C and T at 6.30am. Auntie S escaped.
The kids went oooooo… at the spacious Hardrock gym. It is for 16+ and suddenly, the boys are 16. Hoho. They look 16 anyway.
Once we signed in, Daddy Lim and the boys went for the weights while the girls and I did cardio. This is so typical.
Nana said that she would do 5km on the treadmill and I got motivated. Bcos there were companions, it felt like an easy run. I completed my 5km in slightly more time than her, speeding up in the last 500m bcos I got bored on the treadmill.
We were in the gym for about an hour before meeting Auntie S for bfast. Finally, it was pick and choose bfast and beyond just eggs. We were seated in the other buffet area, while the same food was served, there wasn’t the usual HardRock bfast buffet vibes. We were still happy with the wide bfast spread though.
I remember Hardrock has this kids’ corner filled with various sweets and muffins, sugar loading the kids so early in the morning. They still do and I see many happy kids helping themselves to donuts and sweets.
My not so little boy also happily helped himself to little muffins, drenched in chocolate sauce and covered with rainbow sprinkles. Lol.
I had an external call to take at 9am. The kids headed to the beach under Daddy Lim and Auntie S’ watchful eyes. It was raining in the night but stopped. I saw the sun and happily move the clothes rack and wet clothes onto the balcony.
My happiness didn’t last very long bcos it started drizzling shortly and I had to quickly move the clothes back indoor.
The kids were supposed to be back at about 10am. Nana wasn’t dress in her swimming gear and said that she would not go into the sea.
How come the pictures said otherwise? She came back dripping wet and covered in sand. Zzzzz.. it was high tide and the kids said that it was super fun riding the waves.
The kids freshened up and we headed to the Trans Bali Studio, which is an indoor theme park. I was looking for things to do in Kuta, poking around in Klook and this turned up. The reviews were decent. The tickets are about S$30 per pax.
The shopping mall was supposed to be 15 mins drive away when I checked Google map the previous night. The park opens at 11am and we met up at 10.40am. We thought that it would be an easy ride but the traffic was so bad. In the end, it took us more than an hour to get to the mall. At some parts, the traffic was barely moving. I duno why. The grab cost less than S$5 but took so much time.
The tickets redemption was easy. The theme park is self-contained with food options. The tickets are for one-time entry. We had to walk past some lights decor before reaching the actual park.
What greeted us was Tatanic??’!! How strange.
You jump, I jump.
While waiting for Auntie S and kids to join us, we conquered the roller coaster, which is the most thrilling ride of the park. I had actually wanted to do the farris wheel but the staff said that it was for little kids. The rollercoaster was brilliantly built outdoor, on top of the roof. It started by pulling us backwards before the drop, then after all the loopy loops, stopped midair and dropped us backwards, back to the way we started. It wasn’t scary, it just made me very queasy.
Then we rode it again, not bcos it was so thrilling, but Auntie S and the kids had joined us and went for the ride. I was double queasy.
There were several rides in the park and most of them are quite tame. We wanted to do the go kart but the wait time was 60 mins and we skipped.
When we paused for lunch (expensive food that tasted meh), and we caught a performance.
Not bad lah.
The funniest ride must be this zombie shooting game that looked like a haunted house. I pulled them along and insisted that it was a shooting game, bcos that was what the signboard said. Ended up, it is a shooting game but the way in and out was damned eerie and scary and did feel like a haunted house. Post ride, it actually felt quite lame and silly, we were just scaring ourselves silly over nothing. Nana was constantly chanting “it is just a man, it is just a man”. C attempted to hold my arm at one point and I brushed her away bcos I also scare. Lol.
We caught another performance later in the afternoon. This one was good - got man blowing and eating fire.
We did a final water rapid ride and the Q was moving so slowly. It wasn’t worth that 45 mins wait. We decided to leave the park in search of dinner and got some interesting pictures taken before that.
Bcos we were in Bali and food is considerably cheaper, we decided that it would be the shabu shabu buffet. We simply whacked a lot of beef and all left with a food baby.
The kids went back to the room. Daddy Lim wanted to buy a T-shirt that he saw at one of the shops the day before. We took a walk and finally found him that shirt. The shop keeper asked for IDR450k. Siao ah! We finally closed at IDR100k and I think she still made a good profit bcos she was very willing to close the sales. We also bought 2 sleeveless at IDR150k. Again, it was an easy deal, we must had been carrot heads. Lol.
I so wanted to do a massage but didn’t find one that is decently priced and didn’t look dodgy on the way back. I almost given up when Daddy Lim said that he would accompany me for the massage, so that we could go further and I didn’t have to walk back alone to the hotel after the massage. I think the massages in BKK are better, at least the oil that they used in BKK smelled so much better. I fell asleep midway. So wasted! Nevertheless, I was happy to have my massage. Hoho.
