BALI PARADISE -- Day 2 [Seminyak, Revolver Expresso, Legian, Beachwalk, Hard Rock Cafe]

HELLOOOO.
Yesterday i just updated day 1 and now i'm already on to day 2!
If you havent read up on day 1 please start off there first >> BALI PARADISE -- Day 1

Selfies before leaving the hotel hehe




with the boyyyyyyyyyyyy



i honestly can't stand wearing slippers when going out urgh such a turn off




We took a cab from our hotel which is located @ kuta to get to Seminyak which is approximately 25minutes?
And it cost us around 50k Rupiah ($5.50 SGD)!

Outfit:
Rottweiler Clutch from www.StyleHacks.net
Shift Dress upcoming on the site!



Mini outdoor market (which is usually cheap) but DAMN expensive in Seminyak!!!
Like i don't even know how they survive pricing their stuff like that wtf. This place is probably invaded with tourists that's why.
You'll be able to bargain of course but they wouldnt be willing to go too low so i would suggest skipping this part of Seminyak.
There are really many other places with these markets like Tanah Lot (i went on day 3) which is wayyyy cheaper if not just go to bangkok la?



Some 6D show or something in there



Oh and anyway Seminyak is pretty much the place for Spa, expensive shopping in all kinds of boutiques (super high fashion) + a whole lot of cafes!
It's a place for people like us to buy clothes but yet it isn't cheap so i took quite long to decide whether or not to buy many things sigh.
But they really did look VERY good though! I loved the shops there it's really unlike what you'll find in bugis or far east.
If you're rich, then i really envy you cause there's a WHOLE LOT of nice clothes you could get there without having to think twice.
The price ranges from about $30-50 for some shops and $50-80 for others?

I didn't manage to take photos of the kinds of clothes you'll find here
(cause i didn't want to get scolded by the shop owners it's quiet and awkward they stare at me when i walk in so ya)
but just imagine like TOPSHOP bershka zara kind of clothing (maybe even nicer???) but without labels and cheaper!

BUT the whole place isn't sheltered, there isn't any shopping mall so if you're planning to walk around in the afternoon like us you'll be deep fried in the sun.
Like really, it was so glaring and hot, i didn't even have any mood to take lots of photos anymore :(
And i did feel my skin literally burning and hurting it was damn scary.
Just imagine, i bought a top, they gave me a black paper bag, like a minute later while walking in the sun the paper bag was already burning hot????!






Another extremely overpriced market (omg i hate the markets in Seminyak why so expensive?!)
but they do sell fake branded goods so you could take a look if you're interested



The famous Revolver Expresso~~
This is really a good place for an afternoon snack or drink in the middle of your day because they sell like tiny fist sized burgers, and good coffee!
But if you're thinking of going there to take nice selfies with your friends then this place is a nono LOL
the lights are like non-existent, orangey and idk what, i had to use flash to take photos of everything

Here's their address:
REVOLVER EXPRESSO BALI
Jl Kayu Aya No.3 Gg 51
Oberoi, Seminyak




Tiny cup of mocha which cost about 25k rupiah ($3 SGD) kept me up all night long lol but it was quite good
The coffee taste was a lot stronger than the chocolate so it wouldn't be anything close to whatever you find elsewhere!


Then ritche likes to order things that are really OUT OF THE NORM like VERY out of the norm.
If you see weird combinations like banana strawberry coffee milkshake he'll probably try it HAHAH.
Walao you know last time i asked him to choose drinks from ChaTime he went to order milk tea with added topping of mango pudding (i think)
AND IT WAS SO BAD our stomachs felt weird after drinking it wtf. Like we couldn't even finish half of it before throwing it away HAHA.

When he goes to Eighteen Chefs he likes to order the baked rice with mango cream sauce HAHAHA omg my boyfriend is such a weirdo.
Ok sorry i always go out of topic hehe

I think this was coconut with banana or something. Just tasted damn weird to me.
Aiya but he like can already, this cost 30k rupiah ($3.30 SGD).


ARMS DEALER for 49k Rupiah ($5.50 SGD)!
Their fries were damn good that's one thing i could remember very vividly lol. We finished the fries even before we started having our burgers!
I couldn't remember what the patty was but they had pineapples and some sweet sauce with it and it tasted so good altogether.
BUT because the burger is so tiny and filled with so many things it was damn messy to eat


One thing that i regretted not doing would be doing adequate research on Seminyak and walking around aimlessly!
Though i did manage to see all kinds of nice clothings and buy some for myself while walking around aimlessly, WE DIDNT CAFE HOP OMG.
And the cafes looked so damn good. The next time i go to bali i'll be sure to collate a list of cafes i want to visit when in Seminyak.

Went on to Legian after for more shopping~ Took a cab there and it cost us about 30k Rupiah ($3.30SGD).
Anyway, Legian is slightly cheaper in comparison to Seminyak butttt there are lesser things to buy!

Also there are many money changers at Legian with extremely good rates, WAYYY better than what i changed in Singapore
but people did warn about not changing money in Bali so idk.
If you go to those money changers in Bali's malls, then they're damn crappy rates. If street shops, then high risks lol.




Bought 4 pairs of slippers from this shop called fipper! Their slippers really damn high quality HAHA don't know why we got so many for
But they had like different cutting for male and female and i really loved the narrow slim fit ones which cost around $8 SGD only?


Was looking for braided bracelets to buy for the ENTIRE day hahaha and FINALLY i chanced upon this shop with many nice ones.
PLUS it was damnnnnn cheap. Like 90cents each?
Please tell me where else you could find braided bracelets for 90cents each. You can't even find it at that pricing in Bangkok anymore!



HAHAHA OMG THIS PHOTO was trying to take a picture of ritche
Couldn't help but laugh at what i captured <<<



Lastly BEACHWALK at kuta! Took a cab from Legian to Kuta and it cost just 10k Rupiah ($1 SGD) LOL.
Why would people say that taking a cab in Bali is expensive when the total amount i spent on cab was only like $9 SGD?
I would really rather take a cab than to rent a motorbike when we dont have a license (many tourists do that) and get into an accident.
Cause really some of the streets can be narrow for a motorbike already but cars would still drive through them so imagine the risk lol.











Saw this guy doing live portraits for just 75k rupiah ($8.20 SGD) and ritche wanted a drawing of me so i thought why not right.
BUT each drawing would take 30minutes so we had to wait for over an hour before it was my turn lol.
We sacrificed the kuta beach's famous sunset just for this portrait leh.



At first sitting there with that smile felt damn awkward cause the artist was also smiling then he'll look up and down up and down.
After 5 minutes i already felt like my face was all cramped up LOL.
I WAS ALR REGRETTING THE DECISION OF DOING THAT EXPRESSION.


At first the drawing didn't look too bad. Somewhat looked like me but after awhile...


It just got worse...


And DAMN ugly at the end >_>
The artist was apologising and telling me that it doesn't look like me LOL then he even asked if i still wanted the drawing.
THANK GOD HE DIDN'T SAY THE DRAWING LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ME.
Sigh we decided to take it for his hard work and all but honestly speaking i just want to burn the drawing :(
I kept telling Ritche how i looked like an mutated orangutan human being in the picture :(

I WAS REALLY DAMN SAD. i waited an HOUR for my turn, smiled for 30 minutes, missed the sunset and the drawing turned out so ugly sigh.

We went to walk around ZARA for a bit and i passed by mirrors i couldn't help but put the drawing next to my face to check if i looked as ugly as it :(

You know about how some people say that if you look at something for long enough over months your features would start to change and look like it?
THAT WOULD BE A NIGHTMARE i swear i wouldn't complain about my looks anymore just don't make me look like an orangutan.
Better hide it somewhere before ritche pins it on the wall omfg.


I actually took the drawing and put it in front of me for a picture in front of hard rock but it was so hideous ritche couldnt bear to take the picture HAHAHA

OH and hard rock cafe is just next to beachwalk, Kuta!






My burger just doesn't look photogenic lol. But it did taste quite good!
It's called the texan burger, has lots and lots of pork in it with onion and green chilli. I think it was 120k Rupiah ($13 SGD)


Ritche's burger was the Balinese sambal one but it tasted rather bland





Again i was being annoying during meal time and kept holding the drawing in front of me HAHAHA then ritche kept asking me to take it down.
It's really too hideous to look omg i rather look how i look now surprisingly. Maybe my self esteem has gone up with this encounter somehow.

Alright that was my Day 2 spent in Bali! I had quite a lot of fun though it was mainly just shopping.
I'll probably bring more money for Seminyak shopping next time cause the clothes are really damn unique!

Next up would be day 3 with MANY many things seen and done in a day as i hired a driver.
We went to Ubud, the monkey forest, tanah lot temple, watched the sunset and had some seafood dinner!
Till next time <3
