Bali EPIC Trip 2013..

"BALI" is like my second home. Whenever however whoever wherever I got the chance.. I assure you Ben Teo will be there.. Bali to me is the ultimate holiday destination.. The food, the beaches, the culture, the architecture.. I love it all. EVEN after this EPIC trip to my favorite destination I STILL LOVE IT! Alright no more bullshit, I shall pen down what make this trip to Bali that EPIC and DIFFERENT from the many times I've being there.

It all started on the day I was leaving for the trip. 

See our lovely princess came to the airport to send us off. Everything still seem good.

 



But once we cleared the custom, a lot of my dear friends residing in my stomach also near my custom already.. I keep running to the toilet to chop passport for them so they can clear custom.. It was like 10 times or so since morning.. and worse of all.. I feel like vomiting.. I tried but nothing come out. We walked to our gate, there was a long queue at our gate so I told my wife.. "FK I really cannot take it already. I want vomit liao you go Q first!" Once I reached the toilet, I dashed into one of the cubicle, tell myself that this "Want to vomit but cannot vomit" feeling is really fk up, maybe after vomit I will feel better and recover? Don't know is heng or what the cubicle that I've entered someone just LS.. I've no choice but to inhale one deep breath and %@^@&! HUAT AH! My breakfast all come out.. Three full shots.. It was so loud that after I exit the cubicle I dared not look at anyone.. SO EMBARRASSING! I thought I was going to be OK but I was so wrong.. I FELT WORSE..

We boarded the plane despite my condition because I couldn't bare to let my wife travel alone. I carry on visiting the toilet on the plane because my custom was always busy I don't know why..I kept asking myself when will this end?! While back at my seat I was so cold that I was constantly shivering.. At some point according to my wife, not only does I shiver.. I also kind of vibrate periodically.. like I tio seizure or something la.. Damn it man I must look really retarded..

Finally after two and a half hour we arrived safety in Bali, thank GOD I survived the flight. Shortly after we disembarked, I was really jelly from all the toilet visits and could barely walk already. We approached an airport staff, explained our situation and requested for a wheelchair. We were told there was a clinic at the airport which we could visit but guess what happen in the end?! After clearing the custom and spend almost half an hour escorting us here and there in the airport. THEY FKING USHER US OUT OF THE AIRPORT TO THE TAXI STAND AND ASK US TO F OFF! Told us there's no clinic in the airport and asked us to arrange with the hotel to take us to clinic! We are like SIMI LJ service is this? Bo pian lo we got on the taxi and told the driver to drove us to the nearest clinic near our hotel in legian and this is the end result..

$2.8millions RP to see doctor. $100sgd for charcoal pill! Wah LAN OEI.. NNB Almost all the RP that we change for this trip use to see this LJ doctor liao lo..  

Initially they still wanted me to do the what shit test.. Use the glove to dig my A hole and shit in the bottle.. Lucky never do sia if not I think $5million also not enough.. After paying the hefty medical bill, well like VIP we were then charter back to our hotel in an ambulance. Hahaha how cool is that?! People at most take limousine to hotel, limbei take ambulance!! The hotel staff see liao also stunned.. I'm like "my luggage at the back of the ambulance" to the staff..

 

  

KNN $100 charcoal pill I must imagine it is some kind of a "仙丹" godly pill.. So keep telling myself I'm FINE already after eating it! Look at my fking smile.. fake one.. I'm still feeling weak..

 

  Check-in to our lovely 5-star Sheraton Hotel. Very new hotel. Less then 2 years old I think. See this dancer.. not easy her job. When guest arrived she have to wayang and dance like very happy. See her smile same like me also abit sian.

 

Can't check in yet cause still early so go walk walk. Sick also want to explore new skim spot!

See wave already feel abit better. Tongue can stick out liao 

I usually can eat a lot one loh.. But this is my lunch.. Just one small bowl of soup and I'm done. Really no appetite

My wife ate this. Say is damn nice. Yummy

Finally Check-In. 4028 huat ah

Ai seh see through bathroom wor.. So my wife can watch me shit

The room is very big and nicely decorated

So called ocean view..

Really sad never get to use this.. Wasted sia

Wah this bedsheet is damn song lor.. It is super silky smooth like my butt and see the monogram machiam Fred Perry loh.. Nice sia this..

 

The best thing about staying in this hotel is THIS!! The spectacular Sunset View! It is by far the best I've seen.

Mai tu liao.. Let's go take a swim and chill by the pool enjoying the sunset like a boss..

This is what happen when u throw a sick pig into a pool and make him watch sunset.. You get a face that look like cock..

Heavenly

Too damn nice and romantic view

Off to eat dinner at Semiyak

Let's go~

Recommended by my wife after doing some research. Cheap Italian food with really nice ambience.

Wife insisted on taking photo that can't see shit..

This type of photo don't know take for what sia.. U can see my kuku face meh?!

Food is normal only la

As usual this kind of stupid place like to give big plate and small food

It was so dark when they serve this.. I didn't notice and dig in on the banana.. knn pui fking banana.. I almost vomit again.. Where got lava choc cake with ice cream put banana one?!

 

Vegetable soup again for the following day.. This time round better.. with rice

Exploring the beach again..

I really very discipline.. First time in Bali for so many days never enter water.. Honestly speaking I cannot tahan erected already especially when I see the awesome wave!

At one of our favorite Haunt in Bali. Madi Warung

Nasi goring special. Don't know why the standard drop so much sia.. Not that great anymore

Wah lan oei... Vegetable soup again.. I hate falling sick on a holiday..

Check-in to our last hotel in Bali. Bali Dynasty Hotel. Not good la.. Very old hotel.. Location not that good too..

This last picture ended this Bali Trip with a EPIC finale. Remember I was wheel chaired into Bali?! Now my wife is wheel chaired out of Bali because she injured herself at her company team building event. The sole reason why I still decide to follow her on this trip because she couldn't missed it. But the drama doesn't end here. The fking KLM airline doesn't allow us to board the plane! We were told we need a doctor letter indicating she is fit to fly. Come on man wtf is this?! Just a sprain ankle dude? We tried contacting the company doctor that attended to her earlier but couldn't locate him.

 

Me: "Then now what?"

KLM: "If you don't mind, we could get the letter from the airport clinic."

Me: "Airport got clinic meh?" recalling the drama on the first day

KLM: "Yes"

Me: "Are you sure?!" My blood start to boil

KLM: "We could bring you there.. Let's go if not you will miss your flight"

 

Anyway what happen in the end is that the KLM staff that escorted us was also sick and don't even know where the F is the clinic.. We went in and out of the custom a couple of time and when we finally arrived at the clinic.. The KLM staff also went in to see the doctor loh..

 

Lesson learnt from this EPIC trip. Always buy a travel insurance. And BALI is still my favorite holiday destination! I'll be back! 

 

 

 

 

Nick Vujicic Inspiration

Just had one of the most meaningful weekend for 2013. Was really stroked to be able to see Nick Vujicic in person and watched him speak. Man must I say I am truly inspired! There's so much we can learn from this guy.. Especially his "Value" in life. Don't think I'm able to share everything that he said but I'll try my best to recall some of the key points mentioned and share it here. Theory without application is useless. So I'll also share on how his pointers inspired me in my life.

The most important thing to him is "FAITH". His religion. Christianity. God.

When asked "How can you have trust in GOD for the ordeal you are going through? Don't you have doubt?!" He replied "If everything is given to you the way it suppose to be, if god show you everything.. There's no need for "Faith"." And he explained further about how God although did not create a miracle by healing him physically but what God does is heal him internally. His heart.

Ai seh.. Not bad leh this guy.. Make sense wor.. If really god let me strike lottery and my life is free of worries then we don't need religion liao mah.. We ownself think we are GOD already just like some rich arrogant free thinker out there.. They think they can have anything and everything they wanted.. They control their own destiny. This I think make alot of sense. To top it off, when talking about his religion unlike other christian advocate that I came across so far, he respect and does not bring down other religion, or brag about how almighty his god is.. But instead shared how his God help him with his life.. 

I'm like "Wah God you smart ah".. arrange me to go for such talk.. In fact during his talk, I had a few spine tingling moments leh, the kind when you recognize that this is not just a talk, it is more like a message, a message brought through a man but coming from God, I don't know how to explain la.. something like through the power of the holy spirit i think. *FYI I spent 11 years in a Christian school, attended a few church sessions (CHC included) and have met people that are super hardcore christian... But none of them managed to convince me or open up my heart.. Maybe it's the approach they used that made me shut my door* Anyway this is for you God.. I know you sent me a few signs before already
but I need to sort out my thoughts leh... like are you really the one for me?! How to settle my r/s with my present one and be with you.. Give me some time ok?! Or give me some more sign la.. Like whenever I go skim, miraculously there will be really good wave! hahaha kidding la God.. Chill..

The second important thing that matter to him most is "FAMILY". 

If it's not for the unconditional love given to him by his parents. He wouldn't be standing here talking to all of us. That's right. Being a parent myself, I really admired his parent courage and love for such a child. From the day we create and brought a life to this world, our love for our children should be unconditional.. No matter what our children become or how much we have to sacrifice and give to our children.. As parent we should not be expecting for anything in return... The only thing that I will expect from them is to grow up healthy and be happy. Similarly, one day when I'm old and weary.. I would wish that my children will be able to love me unconditionally.. wishing that I remain healthy and happy because at that point of time.. I will no longer be able to provide for them..

Therefore Nick truly understand the impact of parental love on a children and is dedicated to his family and prioritize Family below Faith among all other things. Here are some key take away. Something that most of us failed in the competitive environment we are living in.

- Make time for your family no matter how busy you are. Work life balance is very important.
- Your presence is not good enough. You need to spend quality time with your family. Don't talk about work related stuff.. Put all the work, blackberry, iphone, ipad aside... Engage actively in whatever your children are doing.. Watch them learnt.. Watch them grew day by day.
- There is something in life once you missed it, there's no turning back.. No matter how rich or successful you are.. For eg.. Their milestone in life..
- Parent is the best role model for their children. How you treat your children today shall determine how they treat you when you are old. Simple as that.

"You know, my son, I want him to see the love that his dad has for him. But that's not determined by how much money Dad makes to get (him) into the best university. It's about TIME," said Mr Vujicic, who hopes to have three or four children eventually.

The third most important thing for him is none other then his "Mission"

Going into all the world and preaching the good news to everyone through his story. Inspiring others and heal the the broken heart. Well there are many other valuable pointers that he made in the two hours event but I'll like to end the blog post with one of the most meaningful lesson learnt.

FAILURE IS EDUCATION.

He quoted that Albert Einstein failed 9,999 times before he finally succeed in making the light bulb on the 10,000th time. But "NO" Albert Einstein is not a failure for 9,999 times but rather... learnt 9,999 different ways how you cannot make a light bulb. So the lesson learnt here is that we may fail or fall many times in life.. but we must never consider our self as a "failure". In fact we are getting smarter with every failure.

  

Happy Happy Family Day!!

Been a long time since I blog.. Really busy with my career transition.. Due to all the guideline by MAS, I've made a really tough but I think should be wise decision to leave the bank and go back to the real estate industry. Why back to real estate when the time now are bad?! Well it is at bad time that allow us to differential our self from others and emerge a winner. Furthermore now that I've mortgage experiences as well, this put me in a better position among all others. In fact, I have a lot of plan on hand to fall back on if all else fail.. for example I'm currently planning an online business with my buddy. The most important draw for me back to real estate is the flexibility to manage my time... especially FAMILY TIMES!! Something that I value more then anything else in the world.

 

Spent the whole day with my family today. We brought le xuan for her jab at United Square and This time the jab is on her arm! We watched in anticipation "heart pain =(" that she will cry but guess what?! This brave young lady didn't! She watch throughout the jab procedure.. give a "what is going on" face and didn't even make a sound.. The doctor is like woah.. you are a brave girl.. We were all really surprise but well.. good for her la if see her in pain.. our heart also pain.. =(

 

Had our lunch at United Square and then its back home.. The weather was really good! Bright and sunny! So I suggested bringing Le Xuan for a swim. So looking forward to our EC man.. but for not just stick to home made pool ba.. hahahaha
