To Stay Places in Bali

Just got 2 recommendations from a friend who's going to get married in Bali, on a couple of seriously gorgeous villas.

The first one's Ombak Luwung in Canggu, with 5 bedrooms. This friend's wedding is going to be here.

The other one's The Khayangan, at Uluwatu. Luxurious spaces... The only problem is that as it is next to another resort, there is a 10pm curfew of sorts, so it's NOT a late night party place.

Tokidoki Onitsuka Tiger

I'm certainly late on this, but a few models of the Tokidoki Onitsuka Tiger sneakers are available at Tangs, along Orchard Road in Singapore. They retail at SG$269.00 per pair.

The other place in Singapore was/is the Star ThreeSixty store at the Paragon Shopping Center, also along Orchard Road.

I'm super snap happy when it comes to taking photos. I'm no fancy photographer, I just like to grab that moment! Every moment! hahaha... But lately it's been getting mixed reactions, I think I'm going to keep it to myself more. Can't please everyone...

On a happier note, I like this KOK brand digital echo AV amplifier. Can't even find it online!

Night Festival

We went for the National Museum of Singapore's Night Festival on it's first evening yesterday.

It featured the Italian Festivi group, known for their dancing in the sky.

The road in front of the museum was closed 'cos it was used as a stage for a dancer in a big plastic ball, super all dancers in huge white dresses. The SMU grounds just opposite also featured a gorgeous dance by a lady a bowl of water

Some of the best performances were the 2 huge balloons, each suspended a dancer. The balloons flew high and low over the audience's heads.

Glad Fata and I had decided to stay for all the performances which ended past 1:30am!

Your total opposite? On the bad side...

I'm sure everyone has someone who rubs them the WRONG way, and there's NOTHING you can do about it!

Be glad if you can, 'cos not being able to is way worse!

Villa Sankara - The Gekko survives!

... that was close ...

Long hard stares...

What makes Bali, Bali?

These religious decorations are pretty, and they can get rather elaborate and very tall.

Kijang runs with Casettes!

Haven't seen an audio cassette for ages!

This kijang we got on one of the days had one! It brings back fond memories on mix tapes back in school...

Villa Sankara - The Gekko gets in over its head

Oops!

A View for the Weary...

Anything for that perfect shot...

Villa Sankara - upstairs reading room

The view from the upstairs reading room, directly above the living room.

There is a long strip of mirror along 2 lengths of the walls, so wherever you are in this room, there's always view of the Indian Ocean.

Villa Sankara - the 5th bathroom

This is the 5th bathroom at Villa Sankara. Next to the TV room.

The sink's a dug out stone!

More long stares...

Villa Sankara - NO direct access to the beach - yet?

Contrary to some of the websites advertising Villa Sankara, Canggu-Bali, there is NO direct access to the beach. (at least not between 26June and 01July 2008).

You can see the half built bridge from the back garden towards the beach.

And it is NOT a private beach. It is a local beach, with snack sellers, soccer players, cyclists, kite flyers and strollers.

I think there was another website which stated that all the bedrooms had DVD players and TVs... there are NONE in the bedrooms. Though the bathrooms are entertainment enough.
