Bali 2012

Came back from Bali recently for a holiday and well, what can I say… I was simply in awe by the beauty of the surroundings, the beaches and the laidback stress-free life over there. :-)

I went there with a good friend of mine, Mohsin, and we explored the place just like anyone else would. Honestly speaking, I was there on a tight budget so I didn’t shopped as much as Mohsin did in Bali. :-P

I was more of a travelling photographer the whole time. Looking out for places good to shoot and I found out there were plenty of ‘em and it’s definitely a paradise for photographers such as myself. :-P

We also made friends with an English couple who were staying in the same hotel and had good company with them while it lasted. :-)

So here are a few selected images to share from the trip from the eye of a travelling photographer. Enjoy and of course, comments are much appreciated. :-)

Hotel was cosy and we got a seaview room too! :-D

Just wonderful to start off the Bali experience. :-)

Went to catch the spectacular sunset as soon as it got dark. Simply breathtaking. :-)

Dinner by the beach.

… followed by star gazing.

Bintang in Bali ~

Started the second day with a city tour to Ubud, where we were brought to places with many of the local people who are really good in arts, handicrafts and more. :-)

One of the places where tourists could have souvenirs of Batik prints.

Smile, give a white tee, choose picture and leave a tip. :-)

Batik on tee.

See how jewelleries are made in Bali. You don’t get to see this everyday.

Traditional method, I guess?

Local craftsman busy with his artpiece.

Beautiful paintings almost at every corner of Ubud.

Humble beginnings. :-)

Probably the only place where u can call people Legong and get away with it. :-P

Random photography.

… more random photography.

There’s definitely flowers everwhere you go.

Random shot in one of the pool room in Ubud.

Just one of the many sceneries you can’t get at home. :-)

Street exploring and photography on the third day in Bali. I was in a hunt for kites and guess what? I bought 5 of ‘em! Haha! But 1 flew too high and it came crashing down and wasn’t able to  recover it. That was one of the prettiest kites I ever had. :-( Oh wells, I still have another 4! :-)

Kite lines.

A little portrait of Mohsin in Bali. There’s countless of beautiful alleys and pathways for people like myself to just love ‘em all. :-D

Abandoned house.

One of the shops Mohsin spent alot at. Think he bought for everyone he knew back in Singapore. :P

Life in Bali~ Anything’s possible if you have the will to live. :-)

Streets of Bali~

Local karanguni man~ Doesn’t seem much but guess he’ll survive with the scraps collected. :-)

Meet the locals~

Random street photography

That’s a real push kart~ Translation: Ice with milk

Life by the beach~

Woke up on the fourth day with the idea of breaking the wind with Mohsin during the glorious sunrise over the Bali skyline …

… and this is what I got. :-)

I spent the remaining time in Bali buying more kites before I left. I’m definitely coming back again to explore more places, especially those spots for amazing sunsets and the beautiful beaches there. :-)
