Kenneth's Bdae Party @ Avatar

Finally done with our Bali trip *jumps with glee*, another set of happy memories documented on this lil space of ours (though it's slowly becoming mine and trying to sweep cobwebs from Leecher's desk) :) Before I plunge into another travel post, let me start this week with a series of bdae celebrations, beginning with dear Kenneth's bdae bash @ Avatar!

When Kenneth sent out the invite, tortoise mountain me don't even know where is Avatar, still need to google for the exact location. So, we met up with the rest of the gang for light dinner first - some food to fill the stomach before drinking session.

Wonder why we were all in specs? Cuz the theme of the party was geeky, so the best accessory - geeky specs. I wanted to turn up in my Happy Birthday candle specs, but gave that idea up as it didn't suit the theme.

Proceeded to Club Avatar, a Shanghai-inspired club @ Marina Mandarin Hotel, with their 360-degree DJ booth.

Spotted Kenneth outside, with his suspenders and bow-tie!

We even got red party bow ties, adding a splash of colour to our outfits.

First bdae surprise - gigantic bottle of Martell!

Mixtures of green tea & coke all laid out.

On a random note, one of Kenneth's friend was wearing this pair of panda shoes. Good strategy to wear such cute stuff to the party - provide a nice ice-breaking topic :p

Group pics with the man of the house first, before he got wasted on drinks, heehee.

Bdae cake for the bdae boy, Geeky Ken Ken :)

Surrounded by all the xiao mei meis, much to the envy of all the guys present.

His hands must be aching from carrying the heavy cake and taking group pictures with everyone.

Memento!

Flexing their (fat) muscle?

And they ended up so tired that they collapsed onto the sofa, drained of energy.

More pictures, with bdae boy and amongst ourselves! Been a long time since we all come to a club, but we concluded that we are too old for such thing, haha! Would rather chill out with a glass of wine on-hand at a quiet place.

Changed partners for the rest of the night.

In the midst of the party, the music stopped abruptly and the lights came on - spot checks by police officers. I stood by Leecher, all set and ready to whip out my IC, but they never ask for it :(

Challenging more drinks - flaming lamborghini & vodka shots.

Still as sober as ever despite all the drinks - the training by EK pays off well!

Ended the night (for us) with the 5 sec rule - even the girls are not spared. Left Kenneth to party the night away while we make our way home. Realized that 我们真的老了, energy level not as high as before :( Haiz, 岁月不饶人, the harsh reality of life.

Post Wedding Trip - Bali P9

The last part of our Bali trip *phew* - I got pretty bored by day 7, for we were basically just roaming the streets of Ubud and checking into cafes/eateries for food. For once, I was actually looking forward to head home.

After our walk to Bridges cafe, we U-turned back and headed to Ubud town, back to Cafe Lotus - not to the restaurant, but to the lotus pond for sightseeing.

Then, it was another 30 min walk to the other side of town for dinner @ Clear Cafe.

No shoes allowed inside the restaurant.

The focus of this cafe is on whole, natural and organic food. As described on their website, this is a place of natural Oasis in which Bamboo, Earth, Water and Glass become One. Clear cafe is more than just a restaurant, it is more of an idea, a way of life, a way in which you can enjoy the taste of all natural raw, vegetarian & seafood cuisine inside a design playground without the loss of your wallet's weight.

As usual, Leecher paying more attention to the food menu that anything else in the cafe. Not even when I spotted a caterpillar on the table, crawling towards me.

We ordered drinks from their "Tonics & Elixirs" section . I was attracted by the name Twilight Tonic (contains turmeric, honey, lemon, sea salt & a full load of nutrient delivery) due to my affection for Edward, haha! Leecher ordered Glittery Gold Orange which consists of citrus, sea salt, aloe & honey, offering tension release & relaxation. When our drinks came, they looked alike - but one tasted quite yucky. I was so certain that the yucky drink must be Leecher's (how can something called Twilight be yucky, right?) till the waitress confirmed that my Twilight is the yucky drink. Boohoo! We also had Paradise Prawns (grilled prawns, rice & marinated greens with oregano garlic chilli sauce) & the rice arrived on the table shaped in a heart :) Tasted yummy too!

Headed back to Ubud center to wait for the car pickup back to the villa. There are no metered taxis operating in Ubud, but central Ubud can be covered mostly by foot, if you know the layout of the area.

This lady was playing angry bird on her ipad and the local driver was quite fascinated by it.

Rise & Shine - finally, time to head to the airport.

Threw away my golden pumps and had to wear the slippers instead.

Leecher had to check in first @ SQ counter, and I dumped my luggage with him. Turned out that our luggage exceeded the weight limit and Leecher had to hand-carry a luggage onboard.

Breakfast @ one of the eateries that was opened.

Waiting for food, lol! Check out dent dent :) Been a long time since I brought dent dent out.

Lime + tea again, their version of lemon tea.

We bought had Korea (aka maggi mee) ramen.

Pic before we went off to our respective gates for boarding.

Bye bye! See you in Singapore :)
