Hi Folks!
Last weekend, i got the privilege to join up one of the highest society club in Indonesia, the Lamborghini Club Indonesia. Since i don't own the exotic car (yet), and only the exotic watch, i decided to write up in here. Enjoy the casual short photo-essay=)
We arrived in Denpasar Airport Bali straight to the private terminal. I didn't even know that such terminal exist!
The bulls are parked just outside the terminal, they had been towed and brought in by sea from Java island from couple days before.
A yellow lotus greeted us just when we were about to leave the terminal.
This aventador really caught everybody's attention. There are already 20 owners of aventadors in Indonesia, and 2 of them were present during the event.
There were 16 Lamborginis and around 30 participants present on this event, not forget to mention those paparazzi from the media that followed us wherever we go.
My ride during the Bali Bull run event, an orange Murcielago...
The cockpit is as small as my SLK, but the engine sound is totally on the different level.
An ultimate wrist shot!
Our first stop is Sakala restaurant that just recently opened up for business. The Fashion TV babes were already waiting there and greeted us with their warm smiles as soon as we arrived.
The parking space suddenly became an art exhibition and attracted passerby like magnets...
Enjoying sunset at Ayana's Rock Bar.
The whole area was blocked exclusively for the LCI.
We enjoyed our
Babi Guling (traditional roasted pork) dinner as much as we enjoyed the traditional fire dance show.
The sound of the convoy at night will surely wake the whole village up. There was a man who told me that he gathered the whole family and started praying because he thought there was an earthquake when the bulls arrived in the hotel at the first night.
Every single night during the event, we would find a new dress code folded neatly on our bed for the following day of event... .... end of day 1
Day2: The view from the lobby of W hotel in Seminyak.
It's a good day to ride a bull to Uluwatu area to enjoy our lunch!
Anywhere we go, there will be a road block, police convoy and paparazzi. Well, at least now i know a glimpse of how it feels being a celebrity.
Though the people didn't talk much about watches, i noticed that most of them wore decent watches. Too bad, i wasn't brave enough to ask them for a group shot.
Identified objects: Rm27, 2 Rm11s, RM10, RM28, Rm7, Ap alinghi carbon, FM grandprix, GG octo bi-retro, UN freak 1.0, PP5960, and bunches of regular ROO models.
While some people were napping after lunch, i took my chance to experiment with my Leica and the models.
We went back to hotel for dinner and most people were up til past midnight for an after party... Unfortunately, i didn't go since i wasn't feeling well that night...
and that's the end of day 2.
Day 3: A rejuvenating journey
We spent our whole day in The Banjar for spa and baliness massage. Some people couldn't participate owing to the hangover from the night before.
Then, we enjoyed the sunset accompanied by cold cocktails and beers from the roof top of Potato Head, and had our dinner afterwards....
and yeah.... i missed another after party... end of day 3.
Day 4: Going Back to the reality... That's it guys... i am so honored to experience a glimpse of lifestyle and crowds of the people from up there.
Being unable to own an exotic car any time soon, i decided to buy a sport watch instead to balance up my inner peace. My new watch just came from Hong Kong and i made my time to pick it up in Jakarta before going back home to Bandung.
Thus, i am still a very happy man! Thanks for reading!
Cheers,
