Bali - 23 & 24 Nov 2008

Edit to 22 Nov: Menega Cafe's food is very delicious but be wary of flies. Tons of them!
2nd edit: Didn't manage to catch sunset at Ku De Ta due to the very cloudy weather. Still, it's a nice place to hang out.

Sunday (23 November 2008)
It was a day of sightseeing - 1st we went to a batik making factory.

Then it was straight on to Ubud Market where there are lots of things being sold!! A lot of trash on the floor too!



On the way to have lunch at the volcano area, our very wonderful driver stopped the car to let us take pics of rice fields!

Buffet lunch at volcano area. Food is only so so & it's tourist price aka quite expensive. But the view was breath taking! Was raining when we arrived and while eating, we were thinking that it's not possible to take pics of the scenery. But, the rain stopped jus as we were finishing and became really nice!
Our 1st class driver, Alit, from the villa even told us where is a good place to take pics from. :) That's him in the pic!


Travelled a lot the whole afternoon. Went back to hotel, rest for a while and it was time to go for our 90 mins spa. It was heavenly! Fell asleep for about 10 minutes but felt good. :p Soooo refreshed!!!
Back to villa where we had our dinner by the pool. Look at how well they made it! The whole pool was filled with fresh rose petals!!!! Awesome!!!

A totally beautiful day~!
Monday (24 November 2008)
Woke up at 10am to have breakfast at the villa. Showered and it was downtown to Kuta Beach for my final tanning before heading to the airport. Did my manicure & pedicure plus 3 hennas - 2 on my back, 1 on my leg (rose).
Tanned for the next 2 hours after that then ate at 1 of the stalls. Local Bali roadside food! It tasted amazingly delicious! Had the Indonesian's fave tea from the bottle too!
Walked along the beach, enjoying the sunset.. Saw a cute little baby. :D
See my tan line? That's what 2 hours under the sun can do for u! Love my tan! That's me being cheeky with my french fry from Macs! ^.^
In office today, everybody exclaimed about my very red and burnt face. Hehehe. I don't care.. I still love my tan! Woohoo!!! They asked me which was better, Turkey or Bali. I love both places. This year's vacations and holidays that I have been to are absolutely fun and enjoyable!!! Soooo happy!! :)

walking in the woods...

i was watching a tv show just now when i heard this description of love.. "love is like walking in the woods. some people fall in love with the 1st tree that they see, but there are people who cannot decide which tree they prefer. in the end, these people walk out of the woods alone, without finding any tree that they love". i find it quite meaningful. the woods may be big, but some people do manage to find a tree that they love. some people fall in love with the 1st tree that they see and it stays that way forever. some.. walk through the whole woods but due to indecisiveness, are not able to find any tree that they love coz they have either missed the chance n it's too late to turn back or they might have given up the chance. will they regret? some people do but some people don't. there's always 2 sides to a coin, isn't it? some people might have walked into the woods, found a tree that they loved n lost but yet found another tree to stay together wit

Rumour

Went to a club at Clarke Quay last nite called Rumour with the regulars from Instinct. The club is kinda like Dragonfly but the music is not as good, the live band and singers were also not that good. The lead singer who is supposedly the most handsome has got a whiney voice when he sings. Shudders.. Think I still prefer DF anytime, any day. Reached home at 6 and slept at 6.30am.. Tiring.. I have been pubbing and clubbing 6 nites in a row.. Think I need to cut down and relax a bit. But, drinking is a form of relaxation coz I get to talk to friends and enjoy. :p Had a chat with Mingjie (another regular at Instinct) last nite. He truly impressed me by wooing the same girl for 7 years! He knew her 10 years ago, got together for 3 years, broke up and tried wooing her back for 7 years. It's truly fascinating. I'm amazed and at the same time, envious. No guy have ever wooed me for so long.. All just want me to be their gf within days or weeks. Any longer, they give up or pressure me

disappointed n jer's departure...

been a little disappointed with friends.. the term 'friends'.. what does it actually mean? someone u can talk to, someone who will be there for u? how many people can do that for a long time? i'm not very sure but i used to try n keep it contact with close friends in the past. i did all i could to stay in touch n find out what's going on in their lives so that our friendship can stay strong. however, that wasn't the case. 1 fine day, i finally decided to stop taking the initiative to remain in contact with them n the result was, they didn't bother either. what happened to the friendship between us? i'm not sure. but it takes 2 hands to clap n i don't understand y i always have to be the one who makes it happen. i've lost many friends coz of that. upset.. of coz i was. i've always treasured friendships but i don't see the point of hanging on if the friendship is so 1-sided. disappointed.. i've always believed that to be friends, we have to
