Sibu to Kuala Lumpur

Tuesday May 4, we take afternoon flight from Sibu to Kuala Lumpur. Supposed to depart one or three hours earlier but Airasia informed about the delayed one month in advance.

Staying at Tune hotels nearby LCCT for a night. There is shuttle bus from LCCT to Tune hotels and vice versa, only RM1 per person per way. So convenient. But the place is kinda boring, only got cafeteria downstairs. Luckily a friend of my boy drops by for limteh-ing session and chat from hcg diet recipes to politic scene.

The room is small, but like what their advertisement said, 5-star sleeping experience at a 1-star price; Comfie bed, power shower and clean. Got air-con but need to pay, well ceiling fan is enough for such a small room. What I love best is the huge mirror in the room and bathroom. (more…)

Ah finally.. Here’s the first post of my Bali trip’s series before my memory fails me. This post is all about planning and preparation. I mean, flight, accommodation, and transportation which are the essential and basic stuffs. All was found and booked via internet. I love how internet eases my life; need allergy relief or recipes then just google.

Flight Ticket

Ticket was booked since last year, August 2009 to be exact, for 5 – 10 May 2010. Can’t thank enough for the BIG SALE from Airasia. Return tickets Sibu – Kuala Lumpur for 2 persons = RM116. While return tickets Kuala Lumpur – Bali for 2 persons = RM241 included three 15kg check-in luggages (made a mistake during booking time, supposingly two luggages only). Total RM357, sweet!

But 3 out of 4 flights were re-scheduled to later time (read: delay). Should have listen to Mum, never book night’s flight. -__-”

Note: Recent experience tells that Airasia fare can be super cheap during promo, but the fare can be almost the same with MAS during regular time. Do compare both!

Fresh and recharged! Ready to kick a*s and work triple harder than before.

Our honeymoon trip in Bali was more to sightseeing as in visiting the Balinese temple, such as Tanah Lot (see picture below). We did visit Dreamland and Kuta beach but stay away from adventure sport like atv riding and water sport activity – snorkeling, diving, rafting, flying fish, you name it. Just our personal preference. No regret as the water activity is widely available in Thailand and other countries.

Well, it’s a honeymoon trip so we were taking it easy and relax.

Full post of our complete 5 days 6 nights trip will come soon. My focus now is to catch what I’ve left behind in work. Away from office for 10 days is crazy!

Oh yes, we are going for honeymoon trip after married for almost 5 months. Can celebrate our 5 months wedding-anniversary there.

The flight ticket was bought when Airasia has a BIG SALE on August last year, 2009. Return tickets from Sibu – KL – Bali for 2 persons = RM357 only! Super cheap. It’s the effort of checking the price one by one from early March to June 2010.

I booked the accommodation online last month, with 2 nights at the happening Kuta and 3 nights at the relaxing Ubud. Since we dislike the idea of being tied up to tour schedule, we plan to rent small car with driver. More flexible and hey, it will be just the two of us plus a spotlight (read: driver).

We haven’t start the packing yet, but at least important things like prepaid visa and Rupiah are prepared already.

I am oh so excited cause: 1, I’ve never been there before and everyone says Bali is so awesome; 2, It’s our first vacation with just the two of us; 3, It will be laptop-and-work-free trip

So, I’ll be away from tomorrow 4th May and be back on 13th May. Gonna spend one night near LCCT, fly to Bali on 5th, fly back KL on 10th, spend few days there and back to Sibu on 13th.

My mind lately has been filled by the plan for the upcoming (so called) “honeymoon trip” on early May, with a little portion for treatment for eczema ebook and satay padang. It is so near and yet I haven’t book any accommodation and plan the itinerary yet. Will do it slowly and steadily. No panic since we are not going on peak holiday season.

Anyway, it will be a free-from-laptop trip. Umm.. most probably. I just want to make sure that we really enjoy the time and the place. Also don’t want to risk losing the laptop when we leave it at the hotel room. Don’t even want to bring it along, such a burden.

Then it pops on my mind, of how we gonna pass our day in KL as we will be there for 2 – 3 days. I asked my boy and without thinking twice he replied with a cute innocent look,”Ju Sak (read: suicide)”. It was so cute I can’t stop laughing.

I really can’t imagine how my boy can pass the few days without laptop and internet. Being a twitter-mania and daily reader to Malaysia Today, you know. But I guess his life will be saved by Simpati’s mobile internet plan. Not sure about the 2 days in KL though. It will be tough. Hehe..
