A Week in Bali Easter 2016

A Week in Bali Easter 2016 - Part 1

During the Easter week this year, I had the opportunity to get an assignment in Bali. Why of course it is an opportunity not to be missed! Miss Kiki had a term break and Easter break in one so the timing was really good. Lucky for us, DH was able to get time off/work-from-Bali arrangement.

We arrived at the Ngurah Rai airport on Saturday morning, and we were supposed to be picked up by our friends there. Little did I know, someone from my work place actually came and picked us up. It was very nice of them! So we asked to get dropped off at a restaurant for lunch.

At the airport

Babi Guling

At the restaurant we met up with our friends and went over to their house. We were staying there on the first night. It is an airbnb spot, you can view it here. If you ever need a place to stay in Bali I would really recommend booking their place.

So we went to have some gelato afterwards...

Then we went to the Beachwalk and walked along the busy Kuta beach around sunset...

And then for dinner we went to a Greek eatery called Warung Souvlaki. It was inexpensive and pretty good.

The next morning of course Miss Kiki got up before we did... she was super excited. She got to watch the Koi fish feeding...

Then we had some tea... how nice!

For brunch we went to a cafe attached to a supermarket... I can't remember what it was called :(

Look at how expensive this Haagen Dazs bar is!! Crazy!

On the way to our hotel in Denpasar, we passed by a large group of Balinese people lead by the civil 'police' called Pecalang on the road, demonstrating the reclamation project. It was a pretty big event that caused some serious traffic jam.

Our workplace booked the Grand Mirah Hotel in Denpasar for me and my colleagues. It's a small hotel but clean and nice, about 15 minutes away from the work place.

For dinner we went to Il Pomodoro restaurant. The only Italian restaurant in Denpasar, I was told. It was good though, they have a large selection of food and they were pretty good.

So that was our first two days in Bali, stay tuned for the next post!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan. I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka because they had a sale. In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana ...
