bali 2009 - day 1

as usual, we woke up n prepared ourselves in the morning, this time, we managed to send bbb to the kinder :D talking to the teachers to know bbb development progress in the kinder :) beloved papa sent me n laogong to kl lcct airport. it was still early to checkin our flight tickets. managed to check out bodyshop member day sale in the new opening outlets, and took our breakfast at marry brown restaurant. bought gardenia bread as backup food.

once reached the airport, i saw this.. NICE!
kena warned by the officer, coz i standing in the middle of the road to snap this pic :p

there were long-Qs at immigration counters. it was a bit warm there, ppl can kill the time by reading all the advert brouchers by travel agencies. it was 3pm+ cant wait to eat my gardenia bread :S our tour guide been waiting us ^_^ smart laogong lo, luckily we booked everything before we reached bali, or else with so many tour guides n ppl approaching us, we might caught in the middle, n didnt which travel agent to choose n didnt know how to benchmark the price.

once got in the MPV, we wallop the bread! we were so hungry n thirsty! then started our bali tour :D

ppl come here for water activities. can see many macho men here :p

the blue sky n sea

local ppl fishing here. many speed motor boats

peaceful

strong wind..

left the tanjung? beach (sorry, i cant recall the place name), we heading to the place where we can see nice sunset according to our tour guide. then suddenly laogong asked about Dream Land. the tour guide told us, we passing by dream land, but we wont go in, coz we need to pay the entrance fee, n spend money there for drink or food, then only we can sit n visit there. he told us, not worthy. so we just dropped by n snapped pic. but, next time, if i visit to bali again, i may want to visit this place by paying money. according to travel guide, it is a paradise!

dream land.

reached uluwatu after nearly 1 hour journey

no music instruments. all by these ppl vocal. NICE!

the puteri

while waiting for wayan to pick us up. i saw this. inspired.

it made me think of what my maid agent told my maid 'kamu bukan binatang kan? kamu manusia kan? kalau manusia, jangan buat hal macam binatang' i always say this 'use your brain to think, use your heart to feel, as everyone has brain, just the matter, u use it or not'

after the show, heading back to the hotel. it was 8pm+ we have yet to checkin the room, n taking our dinner (lunch?). suddenly laogong asked about spa n massage. then the tour guide said can bring us to his friend place for spa, he called n booked for us. we reached the spa home at 8:30pm. rushed in the toilet before i asking anything about the package :( no fluid intake, n less time to go to the toilet, i got light urine infection :S

the arum spa home

deco

for legs

massage oil n body scrub to be chosen
i chose peppermint massage oil n ylang-ylang body scrub.
but the gal mistook it, used coffee body scrub for me

bath tub with nice flower smell! surprise to see this after 1 hour full body massage, body scrub, full body mask n milk+essential oil treatment! so nice to have warm water shower n rendam myself in the warm bath tub. everything seems so nice! xing fu ooo!

laogong n me shared a same room. he was having 2 hours full body massage. after taking shower, he tumpang my package bath tub :p

ginger tea. nice to make body warm

after the spa, it was 10pm. we went to our hotel room for late check-in. the hotel environment is so natural n nice, but we got no time n mood to enjoy the starry night (so many stars!!! made me full more xing fu ooo :p) we were so hungry till we forgot about we were not taking much food for this tiring trip :S

this is special.. coz the spa home named ANGELINA

miss bbb so much ooo

this to remember the bomb case in bali

hehe.. this is for my dearest pooh sis :) few gurdian pharmacies n GIANT hypermarket in bali. carrefour n makro pun ada

peg's. this small shop near to pub area. the couple sitting there playing chess n waiting for customer.. so peaceful n romantic :)

i asked for tissue papers. as i got a bit cold after the spa n 'longer time' in bath tub :p it took quite long time for the gal to give me the tissue, i thot she forgot already. suddenly she came to me, with the tissue papers on the plate 'sorry, this is the softest tissue i manage to find in this store, hope u dont mind' aaaaaahh.. so touched!!! even a simple request, she fulfil your requirement with heart!

the drinks. i got myself watermelon with a little bit salt (afraid i got fever coz under hot sun) the gal given me the extra salt in bottle :) laogong ordered straberry fizzy drink + milk. actually it got a glamour name, i lupa. laogong like this!

nasi kuning. nice taste! the susunan also nice~

gado-gado. different from the gado-gado in kl. i like the crispy tempe

after gaul. lots of fresh steamed vege

may do this for my papa :)

just a normal nasi goreng SPECIAL for me. too hungry already, no time for others! :p

after the late dinner, we walked back to the hotel. on the way, we saw so many white ppl having fun around. n local ppl sitting at the roadside, front of closed shops, chit chatting, drinking. so harmorny :) stopped at 24-hours mini mart, bought drinking water.

in the hotel, still larat to view all the photos that we snapped using the tv. laogong brought the tv cable too :p nice also, 2 of us talking about the trip, comment about ppl photography skill 'this one should be left a bit' 'this is too near' 'hey, my double chins!' 'laogong, u look matured already.. a bit old' 'u look pretty in this pic' :) i feel sweet n warm having this photo viewing session.. heart melted at the moment, 2 of us watching 2 of us in the tv with all nice scenaries ^_^

情歌 love song

时光是琥珀 泪一滴滴被反锁 情书再不朽 也磨成沙漏
青春的上游 白云飞走苍狗与海鸥 闪过的念头 潺潺的溜走
命运好幽默 让爱的人都沉默 一整个宇宙 换一颗红豆
回忆如困兽 寂寞太久而渐渐温柔 放开了拳头 反而更自由
慢动作 缱绻胶卷 重播默片 定格一瞬间 我们在 告别的演唱会 说好不再见
你写给我 我的第一首歌 你和我 十指紧扣 默写前奏 可是那然后呢
还好我有 我这一首情歌 轻轻的 轻轻哼着 哭着笑着我的 天长地久
长镜头 越拉越远 越来越远 事隔好几年 我们在 怀念的演唱会 礼貌的吻别
陪我唱歌 清唱你的情歌 舍不得 短短副歌 心还热着 也该告一段落
还好我有 我下一首情歌 生命宛如 静静的 相拥的河永远 天长地久

保存当初的亲密接触，温度与感动。说未来太遥远，珍惜现在，当下幸福^-^

HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!!!

18.05.2009

look at the calendar, ya, this weekend i will travel to bali. been wanting to visit to this place since years ago. hope it would be a nice one. hmm i think, i cant try their balinese massage, coz my period coming soon :S

last week, was not feeling well, flu n sore throat, then a big boil on my left cheek. still on the 40-pills antibiotic :S every 6 hours i need to take 2 pills, a bit irritates. weather is so hot, hopefully bbb stay healthy.

if take antibiotic pills can stop the illness, how nice hor, if we want to get rid anything, or some negative feeling or 'small people' then we can take the pill to avoid the issue. or, buy a brand new branded perfume, a big bottle, spray it to the air, to the grass, tree, earth.. look at the perfume spraying from the nozzle, the smell comes n goes.. so whatever u want to release out, can get a relief. press it, spray it, recall everything that r negative to u, then, like the perfume, let it dissapear in the air. empty the bottle, empty the sadness, pain, guilt, hurts, anger.. then, a brand new u! :) maybe, u need to say sorry to ppl, u r poluting the earth, sorry for wasting money to finish off a bottle of perfume in less than 20 minutes? hmmm, need to massage or use heat balm to ease the fingers soreness.. pray to God, heal the feeling..

well, a brand new week, this week, 4 working days, i need to settle my EWP accrual report, need to clear all outstanding jobs, then only fly to bali. need a mask to travel to foreigh countries n taking flight? H1N1 cases in malaysia n else where. hmm.. the death rate is not the high, so i want to be mask free la. want to travel n see the world, dont want so many hassle n burden. simple trip.

a pulitzer prize winner's speech...

This was a speech made by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Anna Quindlen at the graduation ceremony of an American university where she was awarded an Honorary PhD.

"I'm a novelist. My work is human nature. Real life is all I know. Don't ever confuse the two, your life and your work. You will walk out of here this afternoon with only one thing that no one else has. There will be hundreds of people out there with your same degree: there will be thousands of people doing what you want to do for a living. But you will be the only person alive who has sole custody of your life. Your particular life. Your entire life. Not just your life at a desk or your life on a bus or in a car or at the computer. Not just the life of your mind, but the life of your heart. Not just your bank accounts but also your soul.

People don't talk about the soul very much anymore. It's so much easier to write a resume than to craft a spirit. But a resume is cold comfort on a winter's night, or when you're sad, or broke, or lonely, or when you've received your test results and they're not so good.

Here is my resume: I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my work stand in the way of being a good parent.. I no longer consider myself the centre of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends and them to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today, because I would be a cardboard cut out. But I call them on the phone and I meet them for lunch. I would be rotten, at best mediocre, at my job if those other things were not true.

You cannot be really first rate at your work if your work is all you are. So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a manic pursuit of the next promotion, the bigger pay
cheque, the larger house. Do you think you'd care so very much about those things if you blew an aneurysm one afternoon or found a lump in your breast?

Get a life in which you notice the smell of salt water pushing itself on a breeze at the seaside, a life in which you stop and watch how a red-tailed hawk circles over the water, or the way a baby scowls with concentration when she tries to pick up a sweet with her thumb and first finger.

Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. Get a life in which you are generous. And realize that life is the best thing ever, and that you have no business taking it for granted. Care so deeply about its goodness that you want to spread it around. Take money you would have spent on beer and give it to charity. Work in a soup kitchen. Be a big brother or sister. All of you want to do well. But if you do not do good too, then doing well will never be enough.

It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to take for granted the colour of our kids' eyes, the way the melody in a symphony rises and falls and disappears and rises again. It is so easy to exist instead of to live..

I learned to live many years ago. I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned that it is not a dress rehearsal, and that today is the only guarantee you get. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and utterly. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this: Consider the lilies of the field. Look at the fuzz on a baby's ear. Read in the back yard with the sun on your face.

Learn to be happy. And think of life as a terminal illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived".

value of relationships

ya, this is so true. hope i can make it to bring children back to sgbuloh n visit in law at least once a month. hope there is more family gathering in the house. more celebrations, more gift giving to show appreciation. i want my bbb grow in happy n fun atmosphere, more smiley faces :D that day i read an article on web, couples who having more smiley children photos when they were small tend to have successful marriage in adulthood. somehow, i agreed with this. coz when u r happy happy in childhood, u r more to be optimistic thinking, so problem would be challenge to u. u would be more thankful n feel blessed for what u r having.

so, i hope my children are happy happy n grow in love. then when they grow up, would treasure family values like my tiew's family, my uncles n aunties, all happy go lucky with lots of FUN in days :D

weekly medic planner

wanted to buy this since many many months ago, i just got it from pharmacy at kl sentral this morning. will bring it back to papa tonight, hope he finds this is useful for his daily medic pill intake. papa always 'have i taken this pill this morning? no no, morning i have taken, afternoon...' hmmm need to take so many pills in a day has been a BIG headache, somemore need to recall the frequencies of a day hmmm.. if papa likes this n find it useful, i will buy another for mama. n this time, i will go together with sis to guardian pharmacy, to get staff discount :p it is rm22.90.

really hope papa will like it :)
