24 hours up in the air...

Had a 16hr flight from SG to Tokyo to LA... Soooo tired... body aching all over...
Now rotting in Los Angeles airport waiting for connecting flight to Houston. It’s 12pm here in LA, (3am in SG), gonna wait 4+ hrs for my flight…so here I m, rotting in a café & blogging.


It’s so cold in here, it’s like freezing…. Is it the aircon, or is it the loneliness?? A bit of both I guess… Found free wireless here, so here i am blogging... yawnz..

Anyway, I had a small gathering/farewell again in Villa Bali, organized by 2 Yandaos, Bernardo & Dpx. You might think that they’re so kind to organize something for me, but more likely, they wanna uncover some news!! They’ve got something up their sleeves, a conspiracy which I was 1 of the accomplice. . Lol.

This time round, we tok a no. of photos. The Indian platter for 3-4 is simply irresistible. There’s ‘nuns’, mutton, cheesy curry (according to david) & some others which I cant remember, but it’s really good.





Definitely better den then Indonesian platter which consist of mainly spicy meat & rice




As for desserts, only the brownie is worth mentioning. The 1st time we had the brownie, it WAS damn good, hot brownie with ice cold ice cream(of cos ice cream is ice cold….) the hotness from the brownie + the warmth from your mouth melts the ice cream right in your mouth… wooooooooo….




But this time, the brownie wasn’t hot… disappointing..


The drinks were good, especially xinyi’s favourite Absolute ruby (consist of volka & craneberry juice) & Amelia’s forgot-wat-drink. An absolute-must-try drink will be the Mojito! David’s favourite drink…Try it & let me know whether you like it or not. Lol.



Had a great nite catching up, will certainly miss everyone in SG. Just a few hours before my flight, but yet I don have the excitement/feeling that I’m going to Houston…





As for the conspiracy/ news, it’s something for you to find out. Lol. I will be back soon, & DON GO FOR OVERSEAS TRIPS WITHOUT ME!

Villa Bali~

Haven been posting for a long time, was busy with meet ups (definitely not work). Not many photos taken, mainly bcos i have a sucky camera. But will be having a new Canon Ixus 950 soon!!!! Wootz!!



Many have been asking, "so when are you flying off?" Seriously... I DON KNOW... Just recieved 120pg of document to bring to US embassy on Wednesday to apply Visa.. Will take at least 2 days to approve.. So i reckon the earliest would be 13th Oct, Sat. So disappointed with the red tape involved in getting to US that i don't wanna have much hopes. Besides, now i know i stayed in SG for a reason. =)











Anyway, main purpose of this post is to introduce a very exciting, place to Everyone!!! It's call the Villa Bali. Used to called the Little Bali. It's a restaurant + pub place with bali-nese deco & Food. Haven tried the food yet, but it definitely looks damn good! Has fantastic ambience with Bali-nese furnitures. Certainly worth me goin down twice in 1 week!! It's located near the old SAJC there, opposite the PSA building in Alexander Road.



I went there 2-3yrs ago & have always been wanting to revisit it again. Finally have chance! Din take any photos inside, only at the entrance. But i guess tats enff to tempt u guys!

The 2 Super Yandaos at the Entrance.

2 pigs. LOL

Nice lightings & ambience. But the camera certainly din do justice to the place. It's taken with k800 Sony Hp.... Gotta make do wif this...

We had a good time chatting, chilling, & reminiscing the fun days at the Kelong. Yup, these are the folks that went to Hot Boyz Kelong tgt. I know from the photos ya cant see their faces, but trust me, you're better off not looking at them. Lol.

Certainly a place not to be missed. Ask me for directions if you wanna bring ur significant someone or your grp of pals there. I won mind going there again. =)
