Bali magic

There's something magical about bali, the people are friendly, there's no rush, traffic can get quite crazy but nobody loses their cool, even the local pets know how to kick back n take it easy.

This is not a postcard

Alam Asmara Resort, Candidasa, Bali.

Pure bliss.

Really didn't do much this trip, which was the whole idea. I only brought basic snorkel gear true to fata's swordsman theory, and it must be a record coz I only did ONE dive..haa..choppy la..too much effort.

Chilled out at a mountain resort in Ubud, the Nandini resort, very peaceful and quiet, but the negotiating the many steps proved quite a good workout, all 3 of us were complaining of achy calf muscles. In s'pore some pple like to visit condo showflats, while in bali, the king likes to visit 5 star resorts to take pictures and trouble the resort managers to show him the villa rooms and ask tons of questions....by resort number 3 i was rather stoned n restless n lost interest. While cursing the king for his many incurable weird habits, i kena the neng kah attack and fell while going down a flight of stone pebble steps, Alila ubud i think it was, sustained minor (ugly) injuries.

Visited a rather amusing old medicine man, who's diagnosis consisted of reading your face, eyes/ears/nose/mouth - 'you have v gd eyes/ears/nose/mouth, you are v good woman' (when it came to the queen's turn, he said repeated much of the same thing, so here i have my doubts la....also did some palm reading, apparently 'if i want to i can marry 2 times'??!?!! king say i greedy, but was very happy to view and recommend villas which might prove to be suitable honeymoon locations for me next time.

ah well, as always, holidays end too soon and i feel like i need a few more days break to recover from my break but that is not to be, it's back to the grindstone tomorrow. Now i need to sleep.

lights, camera, (no) action!

counting down...1 more work day to go...then i'm off to a self proclaimed well deserved rest/break in bali....

90% packed....just waiting for the king to change his mind about the silly heavy strobe that he made me go out of my way to collect. Methinks it's a set up. not sure who the mastermind is.....my dear KL royal couple frens (who act blur) or a certain dude who is 40 but behaves and likes to hang out with fellas 10yrs his junior....or maybe it's really a coincidence thing? I think not.....
Alas,for all their good intentions and effort, this is a plan that will not bear fruit...try harder next time guys, filter properly 1st..heh...

=================================================================
update: i found out that all of the above was really really pure coincidence...who knew la..ah well...at least it provided me (and some of my frens) some amusement...

words..only words...

Just the other day read that the word 'ginormous' has made it as a legitimate word in the english dictionary...

Maybe one day soon we'll see words like 'chi-ba-bom' and 'shart' in there as well.
It was also reported in the news that the word 'love' is the most popular and favourite word amongst Singaporeans. (I didn't know that too) well.."cool"....is another..

The buck stops here

The end of yet another really ku ku day. Really don't know what's gotten into me. but i've had enough of this nonsense. the ku-ku-ness stops here. Ming tian huei gen hao!

Ku ku na den

I really feel i need a holiday..... to rest ...to recharge...to relax and take my kiao-kah picture....
Decided to heck it and not wait until aug for holiday, so today book ticket to bali to join king & queen on their trip (i gatecrash but boh chap la..heh). Happily thot ok, settled liao, swee.

On the mrt ride home then realised that the trip falls on the same weekend as port dickson race?! of course i am not competing la but i was supposed to go n give moral support while nuahing. Yikes...very ku ku....the pea seldom makes such mistakes, it's not her nature. She usually has her "marbles" all stored in the right places....so just goes to prove that it is really time for a holiday..the braincells need to reorganise and regroup..... I'm very very sorry to tuah fata...dix...ah ben....coach poon....

hermie

So little time it seems, even on weekends it's a mad rush to get things done.

collect passport (ICA centre bursting at the seems with pple, my queue number: 323..wah seh..took 1.5hrs loh)....go meet fren for kopi....go for massage....go dinner.....go home zzz...

next day...go church...go lunch...go cut hair...by now the massage effects of the previous day is setting in and i guess i'm going thru' the detox phase....while waiting for my hair color to set, i was alternating between falling asleep and watching lil' hermie here go about his daily biz in the salt water tank...

hiaz..darn tired la....aiyoh...hope i wake up fresh(er) tomorrow...
