MBA tours (although recommended) seemed to be a bit too pricey so we headed off to find another operator. Walking along Poppies Lane I, we stopped at a friendly looking guy with a nice smile. His company name is Mr Smiles. Young chap. Very reliable and sincere. Doesn’t beat around the bush with pricing. His name is Opin. Speaks great English too. Yup that’s Opin! Here’s what we got from him: – Rp400,000 for trekking up Mount Batur – Rp200,000…
View PostAdventure day! So Bali’s a great place for loads of water sports and inland adventure activities. One of things we did when in Bali was White Water Rafting. It was awesome man.. I booked my tour with MBA tours and for 3 of us, the price was Rp300,000 (USD32/SGD42) each. There are 11 such companies offering this experience and MBA booked us on with Bali International Rafting. From Kuta beach, the minivan ride was comfortable and took 2 hours thereabouts.…

View PostSome time back in August, the whole gang of us at Oasis went for our annual office retreat and this year it was to Phuket. We’ve had a good year this year. Everybody worked really hard as a team despite the challenging deadlines. Phuket came as a superb treat for us all to rest, relax and bond for both our offices in Singapore and Malaysia. It was mostly hot throughout our trip with occasional showers. The sun, sea, food and…
View PostThis is a dark entry. Quite different from the usual posts I do. Not to be negative but I just thought I’ll come by and remind everyone of how tangible and fragile life is. It starts from the moment we breathe our first till the day we inhale our last. You really never know what tomorrow has in store for you. At the end of the day, are the things you get angry about or friends you are angry at…
