Woot! I’m back from Bali. It was good fun but i had not expected the price of stuff there to be similar to Malaysia.
We arrive there millionaires (in rupiah of course) but came back a pauper LOL. Didn’t even have enough money to get a decent McD meal at the airport fml, so we had to resort to instant noodle on board the plane which thank god could be paid with Malaysian ringgit.
Right now i’m composing the many photos we took with the borrowed DSLR. Yes, we borrowed the camera from the boyfriend’s boss one day before we left for Bali. We were being so smug and so sure of ourselves that we didn’t even practice or tinkered with the camera settings. So being DSLR virgins and all, most of the photos ended up blurry or off angle hahaha!
I have to admit that DSLR is really handy. It snaps photos really quick and the detail it captures is awesome. I’m beginning to understand why people prefer it to normal digital camera. However, i’m not going to jump on the bandwagon and get myself a DSLR because it’s kind of a pain to carry around something so bulky all the time.
But i’m definitely going to miss it come this Monday when we return the camera and i’m back to taking dull photos with my digi cam :(
So as i was saying, the things in Bali aren’t as cheap as i thought it would be and there wasn’t lots of variety in Kuta. Every stall is selling the same stuff which didn’t appeal to us. Ubud was better because there were more choices and the prices are definitely lower.
There were loads of crafts selling at the Ubud market. I liked the rattan baskets a lot but decided not to get them because they were huge and i haven’t got the slightest idea what to do with them when we get them back to Malaysia. I’ll fly to Bali to get the baskets and other wooden decorative for the future house next time :)
Mini basket
I got this instead in a shop in Kuta area. To keep my earrings :).
It’s really funny that we went all the way to Bali thinking of getting some nice and cheap stuff but we ended up shopping at Discovery Mall which is equivalent with the malls we have at home.
Here’s the merchandises i bought for myself which i absolutely adore.
I just realize from looking at this photo that they are color coordinated!
Shopping goodies
The “He Just Farted” t-shirt is like so cute. I heart!
It’s now my favorite top. The back of the t-shirt says “Smell it?” Hahahaha. Poor boyfriend, people keep pointing and laughing at him in public now LOL.
My fav t-shirt!
Yeah, and i finally bought a Coach bag!!! Well, technically the boyfriend paid for it – it’s a birthday gift and i’m loving it.
I’m loving it!
See my satisfied and contented face? :P
Coach Sabrina Madison 12937 in ROSE
Of all the places i succumbed to my obsession at the Denpasar airport. I couldn’t help it once i saw the rose pink design.
It’s about RM200 less than retail price in KL so that makes me feel less guilty :(.
But now we are staying home on weekends and trying to spend less to cover our bills and make up for splurging on our future-home-fund… and start thinking about the next trip to somewhere LOL.
