Fun Hectic Bali Trip *2nd day*

Bismillah...

8th October 2012 was our second day in Bali. The whole day we went sightseeing.

The first location we went for sightseeing was Uluwatu Temple or Pura Luhur Uluwatu, located at Pecatu Village. It's 25km South of Kuta. This attraction open at 2 am until 6 pm. You'll be greeted by monkeys around the temple. It is advised to keep your valuables, especially your sunglasses in your bag as the monkeys tend to steal them from you. The scenery is amazing.

Then we went to watch sunset at Tanah Lot.Tanah Lot is located at Beraban Village, Kediri, Tebanan which is 20km northwest of Kuta. This attraction opens at 7 am until 7 pm. There were many people in Tanah Lot. It's best if you arrive early so that you could save a good spot to take photos. Enjoy these photos.

I'm not a fan of temples, but the scenery is breathtaking, especially Uluwatu. I love the ocean vs the cliff view. It was awesome.

Superb SkyTrex Adventure

Bismillah...

What : Extreme Challenge; Skytrex Adventure
Where : Taman Botani Negara Shah Alam
When : 12 th January 2013
Time : 8.30am until 12.30pm
How Much : RM55 per person

Skytrex Adventure is an awesome sky high extreme activity for outdoor folks all around the world. However, those with acrophobia, known as height phobia, this activity is highly not recommended. You'll lose your heart beat even at the first train and try challenge.

Gloves rm3; you'll need to wear gloves to protect our hand when holding the ropes and wires during the challenge

It was raining this morning, so we started the activity a little bit late. Safety briefing and training started around 9am. It was a short flying fox ride. There are 34 challenges which mostly are adrenaline pumping. At first, I felt nervous, excited, fear. However, after the first flying fox ride, I felt happy, excited and eager to go for the next challenge.

Train and try challenge

A few tips for the challenge:

  • During the challenge if possible,don't bring anything up. Free body during the activity. 
  • Go to the washroom before the activity, especially before wearing your harness. 
  • Eat your breakfast for maximum energy. The extreme challenge may look easy, but you will need all the strength and energy to do all the 34 challenges.
  • Please warm up before starting the activity; you'll end up having sore arm like me if you don't warm up.

SkyTrex, all the fun above the ground, in the trees and near the sky.
Have fun challenging yourself =D

Universal Studio Singapore : The cheapest way to have Fun

Bismillah...

Where to: Universal Studio Singapore (USS) is a place to have fun and be happy.
With whom: Nadia & Elly
When: 5th January 2012
How: By bus from Danga Bay, Johor Bahru
How much: RM210 return bus ticket and USS 1 day entrance (10.30 am until 7pm)
Ticket Admission: 1 day pass $68, 2 days pass $118
Money spent in the Resort: Nasi Lemak Ayam $4, Milo drink $2, Drinks $4.80, Jurassic Park Mug $10, Locker $17

Universal Studio Singapore has the best rides ever. This is my second time going to Universal Studio Singapore. Last time it was on the 18th October 2011.

With my Bestfriends

I took a bus from Bandar Tasik Selatan around 8 pm and arrived at  Kota Tinggi around 1 am. It was a slow safe journey. The next morning we drove from Kota Tinggi around 6.15 am to Danga Bay, Johor Bahru (arrived around 7 am). 

At the entrance

The bus departed from Danga Bay at 7.45 am. We arrived USS around 10 am, took photos in front of the globe and had breakfast at The Malaysian Food restaurants outside.

$4 delicious Nasi Lemak Ayam; My source of energy for the whole day

We entered the resort at 11 am and exit at 7 pm. There are 7 zones to be explored which consist of Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt, Lost World, Far Far Away and Madagascar. 8 hours is not enough to try all the rides and enjoy all entertainment. I missed a lot of fun attractions in the resort. That's the reason there are 2 days entrance tickets sold on the website and at the ticket counter. 

I'm the Magician

The firefighter and The Mummy

hmmmm

Transformers

Jeans & shoes

Lets do some psychic readings

Bumblebee!!!

Lets shop for groceries 

The first thing that we did was, we watched Monster Rock. The show was OK. I'd say it's alright if you missed the show. Shrek 4-D Adventure is a great show. Watching the show for a second time still made excited with aw.

The King and Queen of Far Far Away

However, I did get to ride Transformers The Ride once (it was awesome, despite the long queue), Battlestar Galactica; Human vs Cylon twice of each rides (this was so super awesome, fun, high adrenaline ride ever), Revenge of the Mummy, Canopy Flyer, and Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure (it was unexpected fun ride; You may get wet).

Flowers for the single lady

There are prayer facilities and plenty of diners and restrooms in the resort. There are also expensive lockers available which is free only for the first 30 minutes. We had to pay $17 for the locker, nearly 2 hours of usage. To save money, it's better if there's a friend that can take care of the belongings for you.

Ice shake for $4.80

If I were to live in Johor Bahru, I'd buy an annual pass for only $188 and ride the movies all year round.

Wassalam & Cheers.

Health Tips for Headache

Bismillah...

Habit is health or habit is a disease.

1 January 2013 I spent half of the day at home, doing house chores and the other half at The Curve, Mutiara Damansara loitering with friends. It's a good day to start with staying home with my family, however, that's not a good way to end the day. 

I watched 2 movies yesterday; Jack Reacher and The Hobbit. Both movies are good. I love The Hobbit. It was awesome. I love every scene of the movie despite having a major headache half way through the movie. It was late and I was still wearing my lenses. That's the reason I'm having the headache.

This morning the headache didn't resolve despite a good night sleep. 

Coffee base drinks

While at work, I remembered Panadol Extra which contains paracetamol with caffeine to treat tension type  and non-migrainous headache. So what I did was, during recess I bought cold Nescafe and after a few sip, the headache resolved. Alhamdulillah.

Home made Nescafe

What is CAFFEINE??

Caffeine is a bitter substance found in coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate, and certain medicines.It has many effects on the body metabolism including stimulating the central nervous system. This can make you more alert and give you a boost of energy. That's why some people can't sleep after taking a glass of caffeinated drinks. However, the effects of caffeine on people are individualized. For some people, 2 to 3 cups of caffeinated drinks doesn't give them any effect, and others may be very sensitive to a sip of caffeinated drinks.

Caffeinated drinks can be addictive. For some people, if they stop taking caffeine, they would get withdrawal symptoms.

A cup of Coffee keeps the headache away.

Wassalam & Cheers.
