Tour de Bali: Seminyak Part 2

" May every sunrise hold more promise, and every sunset hold more peace" -Unknown-

One of our itineraries while in Bali (or a mission to be honest) was to catch sunset. You know how hard to see sunset in the big city, right? therefore, we hunted a place for the best spot to catch sunset. And after a complicated hunt, our final choice was Woo Bar At W Retreat & Spa Seminyak.

The Entrance. Found this place relied on GPS. And fortunately, this place not so far from our hotel. We only needed 10 minutes to reach here.

Composition plants and a lighting spot each 100 m i guess.

These are the pools and sunbed that only hotel guest could use this. Oh how i love this landscape. A great landscape work.

A seating. Another pink ones.

The Stairs. Looks stunning even in the night. 

It's Woo Bar where people who are not hotel guest could see sunset here.

It's a beach club, people. No wonder there's a DJ performance too. 

Sunset seekers were here on time. Chilled out and ready for catch sunset!

Already found out that those palm trees behind made a great background for us to took a snap. Haha.

W is for waiting.

Even in evening this place still stunning.Can't hardly moved my ass from here. 

What a pleasant view. The sky was adorable, Subhanallah.. 

Promise to myself  if one day i have a chance to be here again will find another spot to catch another sunset.

rrawwss!

Tour de Bali: Ubud

"Ubud, wrapped in wisps of morning mist, is Bali's Jewel" -Unknown-

And the journey to find peace and harmony less than 24 hours in Ubud starts here... 

Place where we stayed in Ubud. Less than 1000K/Night. Including Breakfast and shuttle service to center of Ubud every 3 hours. Who don't resist it, eh?

Wooden House. Feels like in a real village.

Sour yet fresh welome drink in a hotty hot day.

The Infinity pool. Quite small but it's not a big deal.

The Bathroom. So clean and organized. Well done.

The semi outdoor shower. Because westerner loves this much. Urgh!

Little bar and the good thing was,  our view was wild forest that you couldn't find in Kuta or Legian. Yiha!

Gotcha! yeah, it was the view. Priceless 

Dining at Kebun Bistro. Two days in a row eating pizza. Sickness. I did miss rice.

Tastes of Gelato.

At Gelato Secret, Ubud

Taken right in front of our room window after we arrived in our villa. We left our hearts and souls here. See ya next time, Ubud!

The Magnificent Namba Park

As a landscape architect, i'd love to see all those references by books or internet about landscape especially it's design all over the world. Perhaps all of you my landscape architect mates, know about it before. But for me, this is my first time to see this, the artwork landscape design of Namba Park, Osaka, Japan.

According to what Wikipedia says, Namba Parks consist of two element buildings, office and shopping center. It was conceived as a large park, a natural intervention in Osaka's dense urban condition. Alongside a 30-story tower, the project features a lifestyle commercial center crowned with a rooftop park that crosses

Day Three: Hortpark

For me, Day three was the most tiring day of all day we've been in Singapore. We're starting at 08.00 AM and we had to wore dresscode which have been decided, black shirt and jeans. Actually, i wasn't in a good mood wore that, because been worn dark outfit for two days made me more sweating all day than others. First, we're heading to Hortpark located near of Harbourfont MRT Station. Hortpark is a place which brings together gardening related, recreational, educational, research and retail activities under one big canopy in a park setting.

Day Two: Dhoby Ghaut & Bras Basah

Touchdown Dhoby Ghaut MRT station and we also found ourself inside (another) shopping building (again). We went outside then crossed the street heading to Dhoby Ghaut Green.

This place was kinda looks like amphiteather in the centre road and was surrounded by park
