Day 1 – Ngurah Rai Airport – Rosso Vivo Dine & Lounge – Uluwatu Cliff Temple – Sea Food Dinner @ Jimbaran Bay- Jalan Legian

Booked our ticket in December 2009 and planned for our Bali trip in March 2010. Unfortunately, due to some incident; we have to postpone our trip to 3rd June.  And.. in a blink of an eye, both of us were ready for our Bali trip !! Here we COME!

Reached LCCT about 730am, checked in our luggage and had breakfast in Starbucks. Flight from Malaysia to Denpasar (Bali) is about 2 and half hours.

Ngurah Rai Airport

Arrived at Ngurah Rai Airport about 1220pm. The airport is located in southern Bali, 13km from Denpasar town. Queued up for about 45 minutes to cleared the check point L

Our driver (forgoten his name XD) picked us up from the airport and sent us straight to Holiday Villa Hotel (Kuta Bali). We booked a deluxe room and breakfast (3 Days) and dinner (1 Day) included. I was embraced by traditional Balinese architectures blended with lush tropical gardens.

Holiday Villa Hotel, is just 2 minutes walk from the famed Kuta beach, and 3 minutes stroll from popular shopping district, Legian Street :)

Rosso Vivo  (means bright red)

After checked in, had lunch at restaurant called “Rosso Vivo” located at Jalan Pantai Kuta, front of Kuta seaview Cottage, 20 minutes walking distance. (Sweat walked under the hot sun). Rosso Vivo is dining restaurant selection of top Italian a la Carte menu, Set Menu, Traditional home mad pizza and also Buffer menu; designed in comfortable, cozy, romantic environment with beautiful kuta beach view. The lunch costs us Rph 430,000 (Rm150++). The serving of the food was huge portion, delicious!

Uluwatu Temple

Next,  visiting to Uluwatu Cliff temple which is about 30 minutes from Kuta Bali. We paid Rph 400,000 for 2 persons. Uluwatu Temple located at the southern of the island, where you will find a temple balance on the cliff’s edge with drop of 250ft. It is a beautiful place to see sunset. Before we are able to enter the temple, we are told to tie a cloth over our waist and for those pants are shorter than knee length. This is a sign of respect

A local guide was assigned to us to show the way inside the temple. As we walked along the temple, can see lot cunning monkeys  J The view over the temple was very beautiful ( see our lovely pictures taken on top of the cliffs)

Jimbaran Bay

Started our journey for seafood dinner at Jimbaran. Hubby was starving. We were fascinated by the ambience of the place as the tables were set on the beach facing the sea. We started to place our dinner. We ordred package A (Rph 1,007,103 for 2 persons); The package includes 1 big bottle beer, 1 glass of wine, two fishes, squids, prawns, mussels, lobsters, crabs and vegetables (kangkung). My colleagues told me the seafood restaurants are very expensive but we felt it was quite reasonable as the food was pretty good and the portion was sufficient for two of us.   Can see there is char grilled corn-on-the cob from beach vendors and they have dancers on stage.

Walked around Jalan Legian and grabbed a glass of Starbuck Ice Blended Mocha (Rph 49,000) before we called it a night J

给老婆发薪水???

全职家庭主妇, 是否应该享有工资???老公每个月固定发薪水给老婆, 你赞成吗?

最近, 中国政协有人提议, 立发规定,老公必须付老婆家务劳动工资,以保障女性权益.

很多女人一生为家庭付出, 当全职家庭主妇,身傔女佣, 司机, 补习老师, 医生, 终日忙忙忙, 做牛做马, 像免费kakak, 分文未得, 做的不好还被人嫌, 一点尊严也没有.

但是, 领了老公的家务工资,难道就可以挽回女性尊严??未必, 情况可能更糟.

当夫妻关系变了劳资关系, 老公是给工资的老板, 老婆却是领工资的工人, 一个高一个底,天天得看老公脸色, 这种建立在金钱的关系,确如何维持?

如果两夫妻,搞到以金钱来衡量彼此的付出时, 那岂不是沾污了婚姻的神圣?还要结婚干嘛?干催请个佣人算了…有八卦友说, 假如做家务要给工资,那么,两夫妻要做爱,岂非也要付费?那这笔’做爱费’,到底是由老公给,还是老婆付?

没有人可以否定家务劳动的价值.家庭既然是夫妻俩建立起来的, 如何分工, 在婚前应该有个协议…

大家同意吗????

 Love u Babe, Happy Valentines Day !! :)
