Hey guys!

Just came back from Bali two days ago. Was super lazy to even update. HAHA. Anyway Bali trip was awesomely good. It makes me not wanting to come back to Singapore. Argh... Really envy the nature there! Something new, which you can't find in Singapore.
 Anyway, Day 1 when we touched down at Bali, went to Tanah Lot. It's a famous temple in Bali and of course, a tourist attraction. Took some photos of it which you can see it below (: Did a bit of shopping there. Bought a I Love Bali bag and some other random things. Hehe. Yeah after that went for dinner at a local Chinese Halal Restaurant. The food on the night was freaking awesome! All the guys ate at least 3 bowls of rice with the 10 dishes in front of us. Be jealous. Yeah after that, we went to check in at Goodway Hotel which will be staying for 2 nights. Did a night reflection together with the facilitators then went to check out our room. Ate snacks as supper, then turned in for the night.
Day 2,
Went to one of the good school in Bali called SMA4 Denpasar. Yeah, with our blazers. Learn how to write my name in Balinese Language, some steps of Balinese dance and their traditional music instrument. Then ate our lunch in the school before visiting a temple nearby. After that, went to a shopping mall nearby to do some shopping. Not much to buy though on that day.
Day 3,
Went to a well-known Bali tourist attraction called the Green School. One amazing thing is that the whole building is located in the middle of the forest and is fully construct with Bamboos. Of course, i learn things from there. Like planting, making of chocolates and a hat which i forgot what is it called. Then, went to have our dinner before checking in at Puri Hotel(which is the hotel we are going to stay from Day 3 onwards). Of course, night Reflection and dismissed.
Day 4,
Nothing much. Just going to places of interests and some shopping.
Day 5,
Had our breakfast before heading to see the Traditional Barong Dance. After that we went to have our lunch   at a place where we are sitted in a Hut to have our food. The food was good. Yeah, then we were brought to a shopping area near the airport to do our last minute shopping. Was only given 1 and a half hours ): Anyway, it was really a touching moment because as were on the way to the Airport after the shopping, the tour guide sang a song to bid us farewell. I can really see how sincere he is when singing the song. Many of us nearly teared. Couldn't bear to leave Bali and to bid farewell with the Tour guide. But some things are just not under our control. All of us gathered money and gave him tips. Because we know that the Tour Guide in Bali is not really earning a lot. And this is just to show our appreciation for his companion for the past 5 days. After that drank coffee bean before checking in the Bali airport to leave for Singapore. To me, the trip was too short! Haha anyway, touched down in Singapore at around 9.45pm. Then went home.
Has not really been good this few days. Don't want to elaborate. Anyway hope that the China and Vietnam trip pupils had fun too!
