I'm having overnight soaked oats and muesli (otherwise known as oats in a jar) while typing this. I'm loving this stuff man, thanks to Deborah (@hellocupid) that motivated me to do OIAJ.
I will probably share my own recipe if I find a way to do a darn good one. Now it's just milk, greek yogurt, oats and fruits.

My second day of Bali was spent rafting.
It all started at 7:40am when our driver hired by Sobek came to pick us up. Sobek Adventure was the company that did our rafting 2 years ago, and since we were happy with the service provided, there're the ones we raft with again! The 2 trainers I had were awesome - both very interactive and very concerned with safety and best of all, Sobek does provide you with a rather clean shower area and a nice buffet after your raft experience. All in all, I find them very professional and reliable.
Teddy and Brendan got convinced by JS to join and at first they were skeptical - they wanted to do para-gliding but I'm glad they were happy with their choice to join us! We booked Sobek 1.5 weeks in advance. Para-gliding apparently did not happen for the other group as the weather wasn't ideal for the activity.
We challenged Talaga Waja River this time, the better of the two rivers in Bali.
My groupie before we start the rafting experience!

Choonbin, our trainer had quite a ball of a time with the boys. We were cracking all sorts of jokes and chatting while he was trying to steer us in the right direction. Since water is really rapid in this river (as compared to Ayung river which was calm and easy to paddle), we did not have to do much paddling. Most of the job done by poor Choonbin :p
We stopped by the river for a break while the boys bought drinks. Teddy was being a very naughty boy and chose to drink what made him have a huge hangover this morning - Bintang Beer! He bought one for Choobin, while this is the only 'driving' you can drink I guess?
Or we may trust that Balinese hold better liquor than Singapore Teddy.
The highlight of this rafting journey was the dip or the 5meters fall! Choonbin made sure we all compiled to the safety positions that we should adhere before steering us for the dip! He told us that this 'man-made' waterfall was used predominantly for irrigation. Have a good laugh, especially at the front row seaters. The boys had super funny expressions!!!
BAM!!! you could see my helmet was too big for me but no one told me when we did fitting lor!!! Damnit, I was acting all angsty when I saw the pictures and the boys kept laughing. I was like "WHERE ARE ME EYES!!???"
We went under the fall to take pictures, and it was really fun! Except that with so much rocks, it was really hard for me to walk to the base.
Hehe :) <3 <3
The view that we faced when we were having lunch, the pretty rice padi fields!
Glorious food!!! There's indonesian fish satay, mee goreng, curry chicken, chili fish and etc for buffet. Nasi padang rocks!
We joined the gang later for dinner later so we took another nice shower. Went up to the rooftop pool to have a look before joining the guys in the taxi.
We took a 40 minutes taxi ride to Rock Bar, but was refused entry because we were unsure of the dress code (they refuse singlet, graphic tees with alcohol logos and berms - dont ask me why).Went straight to our dinner place instead.
Jimbaran Bay is renown for its BBQ seafood in Bali and having seafood on the beach itself is pretty cool! It's our second time here for me and JS so we called the shots when it comes to the menu. We dined at Menaga Cafe here.
Heh, love my boyfriend, so does Alice below.
Having vintage bottled soft drinks!!!
We had the popular spicy corns, a good appetiser since the food does take 20 minutes thereabout. They are BBQ-ed on the spot by the vendors who placed booths near the seaside.
We ordered 4 sets of each seen below!
Lobsters (one per pax) and Kangkong
Clams, sotong skewers and fish (one pc each pax). Favorites are clams cos they are marinated with delicious barbecue sauce.
and extra ala carte King Prawns!!! This is DAMN GOOD! :)

The only setback is this place is really crowded so it gets a little smoky, and with the influx of orders, the waiters are a little blurrrr. So have a copy of the menu and tell them what you're missing. We had to nag them for some missing dishes (cos we had like 4 sets!) but all in all, we love the food there!!! :) Will return for more if I come back to Bali :-)
Bali rocksss!!
Bali rocksss!!
