Bali & Singapore

I just had to show this tattoo...

It feels like it came from a quote in the matrix or something. Peter said it was all from his own weird quotes.. Hence we call him Jesus...

This entry has nothing to do with the tattoo. Wanted to share with everyone after Medan what happened in June...

Basically, I accepted the new job offer in Nike. So now the 3M Juliana Tan is now Nike Juliana Tan. Feels weird since I've been in 3M for 9 years now... well on and off. And i am still taking a leap of faith.. leaving such a big company with a permanent position and going for a 1 year contract job in Nike..

So when i started in Nike, I had to change my flight itinerary for 4 days in Bali to 2 days 1 night.. Which was sad.. but i decided to make the best of it..

Reason for my short trip : Kim gotten me this Bali ticket for my birthday present.. I want to spend time with them as much as possible.

Arriving at Bali, i was greeted by Allison (Kim's gf) and settled down.. etc... Beautiful comfortable hotel.. (with no air conditioning.. ughhh)

Kim and Ally at the hotel.. AT LAST tanned again...

See the hotel.. we had our pool parties

The one thing i did not like in Bali was the sellers walking around all the time at the beach when you are sun-tanning but this guy came with something different.. A head rest.. so your hair wont be covered with sand. For RM 10 i bought it.

Awesome catching the sunset at the over crowded Kuta beach.

Here were part of the gang during my short trip there. I never realized that i was the only asian in the gang.. Zzzz those anti social buggers!

Free flow of drinks are really sinful when you haven't drank in 4 months.

The gang sun tanning.. and im already darker than them before i got under the sun :P

I <3>

Sunday's private pool party

Guess who else was in Bali?

Flew back on Saturday night and flew to Singapore Sunday morning...

Here are some pictures to share with everyone.

Write The Future - Christiano Ronaldo's statue after Portugal won 7-0 against Korea.

First time to Universal Studios... SINGAPORE is better than not going before okay? It was smaller than expected and everything was not fully running yet.. but tickets were sold out 1 week before the date. Thank god i got the tickets way beforehand.

Po the Kung Fu Panda.. My favourite

Puss in boots was also one of my favourites.

HAHAHAAHA!! Just realized how much i look like a dino..

Well.. maybe not..

How many of you were brought up with Beatlejuice!!! i was :)

Mr Chaplin didn't look that real though

Lost in Universal Studios??!

Staying at the Mandarin was convenient in SG. It helped with meeting up with friends

Lazy to talk about my trip already... next post hopefully will be more interesting..

907 meters above sea level

Me and my 3M workmates decided to head to Medan, Indonesia this year for our yearly trip and also my farewell...

So the journey began....
Starting with self check in at the lcct airasia kiosk



Reaching Medan was fast and easy. The state was very dusty and everyone just wants to earn money from you in whatever way...



We found a driver that was really friendly and could speak fluent English. The trip took 5 hours.. When we arrived the hotel, the stupid hotel cancelled out reservation and all the hotels on the mainland was fully book.
Thank god the driver managed to get us a hotel on the island at the lake...Which was soooo much better...



The view was awesome!
The next day we headed around the island..loads of pics were taken..but it's all already on fb now :(

So back at the mainland the next day, we decided to take the longer ride back to Medan. Passing thru berastagi..here are some of the places we stopped by..



Awesome lipur lipur waterfall....



Half way, we had to stop for toilet break..but the only place we found was this small "saloon" and the open air toilet bowl...(is china like that also?)






Back to our jouney....


Crazy people..they managed to squeeze in that many people..


Before reaching back to Medan.. At last I got my corn!! Yummmyyyyyy

I have been wanting to write more for the longest time but never seem to find the time for it.. Ever since I started "actively" twitting, I just wasn't bothered to keep any post to blog about...

Anyways quick update about myself... I quit my job at last in 3M.

Meeting long lost friends..

Last weekend and the earlier weekend before that has been good.

Been meeting up old friends from everywhere. Some from other countries that came down to visit.. It feels good when you meet them again after awhile. At least you know you are not alone.

I wish i could travel around the world to visit all my friends.. one day...
