Singapore day 13 - Alive musesum

Husband felt much better after the medication and rest
and we went for a double date with aven to the alive musesum
i been to 3D musesum in Korean and often shown husband photos of them
or of my family wherever they went to similar musesum
I will think that the one at Singapore isnt really realistic looking
but we still had fun taking silly photos...






























After which, we did a little shopping for husband's sd card and his fave popcorns
and left to have family dinner in jurong point...
as usual the dinner was in chaos with so many tired kids but it was a nice end to our trip...
but it was diificult to say goodbye to everyone...






bali day 6 - Kuta

We woke up to had beakfast at the hotel
and realised the hotel was much bigger than we expected!
Since our flight was at 12.50pm, we took the taxi from the hotel at 9.30am
we were worried that there would be traffic jam
however, we arrived in 15mins and had to roam around the airport after check in
I was hoping that we will have 0.5day in Singapore since we chose an early flight
sadly, the flight delayed for 45mins and it was a scary full of turbulance flight
that i was just happy to reach Singapore safely

to save time, we took a taxi back to sister home
and i took husband to the nearby clinic
Husband was impressed by the efficiacy of the doctors in singapore

how there is a receptionist taking temperature, registering
and how one need not go to the pharmacy to buy medication after the visit
so different from paris!

After that, we went to jurong point for some grocery shopping
Despite eating a light dinner so that husband can take his medication before,
i had to tabao long john silver back for my greediness..haha

I started packing my scary looking luggage while husband rested....

Bali day 5 - Kuta

the night before was not easy for husband
he started to complain about ear pain and i thought he had a pimple inside the ear
while he was worried that he had ear infection
but i guessed i was too tired to be woke up by his movement..

Our bus was supposed to come at 1030am for our 2hours ride to kuta
but based on how rides are often earlier
we were well prepared by 10am and the ride indeed came at 1015am
in about 2hours, we arrived at a bus terminal in kuta
and had to take a long walk about 30mins to our hotel
Yes, it was the only hotel that we booked for the trip!
Luckily, i saw the hotel during our night in kuta, so it was easy to find it!
Since the room was not ready, we had lunch at a cafe nearby
and went to the pharmacy to get some ear drops for husband
i had my mee goreng and husband had a burger as he was bored of rice and noodles
we were really happy with our hotel (eur35) - Grand barong resort
that it felt a little sad that we only would stay here for a night!

We were lazy but i managed to forced us to go to the beach
maybe because my skin was bad since the heat rash in singapore
i was getting burnt so fast that husband seemed to be the asian here...
we spent about 1hour at the beach but it was too sunny for me!
well, at least we got the tan to prove we went to bali, haha

We wanted to swim at the swimming pool 
but husband's ear was really painful that we gave up the idea
we rested in the hotel and decided to go for our last body massage
which we totally enjoyed it and felt that we would missed it dearly...

Since we wanted to enjoy the hotel and husband was not well,
we decided to get room service for dinner...
We were short of cash after setting aside money for the airport taxes and taxi
We didnt want to exchange more rupiah and wanted to pay by credit card
but the waiter tried twice and could not do so
finally, we paid with the rupiah that we set aside
and ran to a nearby money changer to change the differences...
Finally, it was time to enjoy the night...

Bali day 4 - Ubud

It was our last full day in Ubud and we started the day slightly later
as it began raining at about 10am and we were unable to visit the monkey forest
We left our guesthouse for the long walk to the forest 
which is actually in the end of the town and took us about 30mins walk
and we took our lunch in a small cafe that was near to the forest
where i was losing count of the number of nasi goreng i had since i arrived

I was not keen to visit the monkey forest
I had visited it and i was a little scared of the monkeys roaming around
but husband was really looking forward to it..
Although no sarong was required, i still wore mine to avoid the mosquitoes
Tourists can buy bananas to feed the monkeys but i warned husband not to buy it
after witnessing how the monkeys climbed on people for the bananas
Yes, i carry my bag in front because i read on internet that the monkeys can unzip bags...















And then, was an incident that got me really angry at husband
There was an art exhibition in the forest but i was not interested to go
as we go down the stairs, right was the ladies
and left was the mens and the art exhibition
husband asked whether i want to go to the toilet so i went
and he walked to the left
since, husband is usually the one who goes toilet often
i assumed that he want to the toilet
after i came out, i sat outside and waited for him
but i didnt see him!
despite many males entering and exiting the mens
i was hot and mosquitoes were attacking me 
but i was more worried whether husband was stuck in toilet
that he fainted or there was no toilet paper
since, we didnt had handphone to contact each other
I could only wait and be worried
After about 20mins, i finally peeked into the mens and realised it was empty
then, i found husband in the art exhibition!

I was so angry because he went to the art exhibition without telling me
while he assumed that i knew since he turned left
I just felt that he was irresponsible to not tell me and didnt even looked for me after so long!
Since i was so angry, we finished the walk quickly
well, we were almost 3/4 done when the incident happened
at least, i felt better after some shopping and husband learnt his lesson! haha






After shopping, we decided to look for a shuttle bus to return for kuta next day
and we managed to find a cheaper ride for eur6/pax
Husband and i went for massage again at another parlor
I didnt want to do full body massage and opt only for foot massage
and husband went to his full body massage but he didnt enjoyed it
at least we still had kuta to continue our good massages!

We had dinner and returned to our guesthouse for packing and rest..
