New Year Eve anyone?

Here we are again, the last day of a year, this time around is 2011's last day.

Had a great awesome year? I hope you do, whoever is reading this.

Well, for me this year definitely full of dramas, surprises and adventures. 

I am truly happy and thankful for the year 2011. Another learning year that taught me the way of life, the real life where there always ups and downs, high or low. There will always be struggles but everything is worth it in the end. Trust me.

So the notorious 2012 is coming, as a tradition i shall write down my New Year Resolution aka the-forever-list but this time around, a little bit different:

1. Be happy.

2. To love and be loved.

3. Have a successful career.

4. Live curious (nat geo!), continue learning. 

5. Explore the wonderful world.

6. Be healthy.

A very humble list.  :)

Something to think about:

Conclusion for 2011:

I learned that i need to keep believe in myself. This is cliche but one day, yes the one day, and yea one day i will make it. When that day comes, i hope i will be able to share the joy with all my dearest.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Have an awesome kick-ass year ahead! Cheers.

Merry Christmas!

Kimbra

This girl is amazing.

I could have her hair but i decided to chop it off on that day.

Watched her live performance, she is that good!

My latest music crush.

Cameo Lover just brighten my day.

Please please come to Malaysia or Singapore, i would love to see you perform!

Not a good month.

A demon growing inside, waiting to break loose.
Be resilient and shut down everything.

Let it go, girl. Just let it go.
What the heck, just let me hate all these for a little while longer.

Radio, i just heard about this domestic violence ad on the radio. I had an urge, but it was silly i guess.
Everything is fucking silly.

I want to believe the good in people. I do.
Yet i dislike the kindness.

Hypocrite.
Liar.
Assholes.

Hello Bali (4D3N) !

Day 3

Another scorching day but who cares about sunburn when you're on vacation... That day we went to see the famous Tanah Lot and few lakes.

In the evening, we went back to the Kuta beach to watch the beautiful sunset scene... It was my first time to see so many people actually sitting by the beach side to wait for sunset... Everyone was really anticipating the moment the sun say goodbye and welcome the night.

Good Bye Bali!

Oh i love this ship-like-kite... Very nice!

Sailing in the sky with the wind, awesome.

Fall.

Do you ever think the action you did will be forgiven that easily?
Had you lost your mind when you decided to do what you did to her?
Do you feel any remorse or even a slightest regret of your own words and actions?

I asked, you said no.
It kills me.

Seems like pretty easy for you to just break apart from us.
Do you ever really care about me? I don't think so.
I can't feel it.

Why are you speaking to me now with such kind tone?
You should have known i was really disappointed at you, how can you talk with me in such a normal conversation?
Are you feeling lonely now that everyone you close to are drifting away from you?
Have you ever think that why people avoid your presence?

Please stop.
When this kind of shit happens, you have to pick side. Our, you or her.
I picked us but you don't, so i am with her now.

Stop talking to me with such kind tone. I can't take it.
Just ignore my existence like how you isolated yourself from all of us.
Your zero effort to want us to work things out, i can't see you anymore.

When you hurt her, you hurt me too.
Everything happens for a reason, I guess this is the best i can do.

Bye.

Brainfart.

Aahh, 3 weeks to draw a xxx?
I sucked. I forgot the fundamentals of design. . . i just can't get it right.

Wonder do i really have this.
Please brain please stop farting and give me ideas!

Hello Bali (4D3N) !

Day Two

Woke up early in the morning, like around 630am... Long trip ahead, like really long trip.
My favourite location at Bali - Kintamani. A very beautiful place with volcano, mountain, lake, cooling air... everything just perfect for this getaway.

After a long hours car ride, ass pain but totally worth it!

Volacano and a lake. 

Myra & me. Tired but happy face.

A boat man approached us, and asked us if we want to ride 'sampan' (boat) to see a tomb. He asked for a high price, after haggling for 10mins finally we settled at around 200,000 rupiah each. Took a another 20mins ride to the nearby village to dock the boat.

A very chill-relax village:

Kids there love KPOP. I heard some girls singing "Nobody nobody but you" and the signature dance.

Cute.

My servants..muahaha.

Happy!

A tiny place by the lake, after around 40mins of roll roll roll your boat, finally reach the place. Theres a tribe of villagers that "bury" their deceased member at the site, letting the body to decompose without really bury the body underground. Once the body is fully decompose, the bone and skull are collected and display by the site on a stone. When we reached there we can't smell any foul aroma as most of the decompose thing give out a strong smell. The tour guide said because of the big tree, it gives out a very aromatic scent and absorb the bad odour. Amazing! 

Welcome to . . .

Dragon tail with offering.

The tree behind is the legendary tree!

Beside us is the guardian that guard the place.

I got a chance to play the traditional instrument of Bali! Love the tone of the sound that came out from the instrument. Rain started to fall after that, so we quickly sail back to the dock and had a very delicious lunch cooked by the local aunty.

The served a very delicious fish, the local call it "Ikan Mujairab"

The fish freshly steamed and covered with sambal! spicy but tasty!

Till next time! Monkey yo!

Hello Bali (4D3N) !

Early November i went to Bali with just two friends. Both i knew them since uni time and my ex-housemates, one girl & one boy. This was kind of like "okay-just-lets-go-and-have-fun" trip, we booked the flight ticket at very last minute and cost us around RM500+ each, which was pretty expensive in my opinion. (hey you can get like RM600(flight ticket) for Korea) Anyway we just went with the flow and yeap, BALI here we go.

DAY ONE

My friend, Keat went there earlier (3 days earlier) than me and Myra as our flight were different. For the first two days, we din't got to book any of the accommodation so what the heck right, none of us were worried because Bali have ample of places to stay, just walk-in is fine. Keat managed to find a homestay at Ubut area and it was pretty comfortable and homely. Haha.

First day, we explored around Ubut with our tour guide, which Keat hired. Oh man, i forgot his name but he is a very cool guy. Let's call him cool guy for now. Cool guy brought us to have a balinese style meal cause i am eager to taste the local food!

Balinese style lunch set, pork sate with some pork intestines and fried pork fat and veggie at the side.

Love love love the soup which made of banana stem? Tasteful and authentic.

I miss this soup.

After local delicacies, went to Monkey Forest. Yes is full of monkey, bananas and tourists from all over the world. It was drizzle for the whole afternoon but it was fun. When was the last time i walked under the rain like a boss? haha definitely not in KL.

Hey look is the sun!

And when walking back out, a tiny golden creature flew by in front of me. Curious as a cat, i jumped and follow the golden hue trail. Oh my, it was a ladybug-like bug with transparent body with gold and bronze pattern. Amazing!

Can you spot the bug? Anybody know what species is this?

Sry i don't have state-of-art camera.

x-large photo are from my friend, Keat's camera.
Now you can see the bug clearly :)

After Monkey Forest, we went to visit few temples and places. Went in one of the temple to visit and bumped into some ceremony, a kind uncle explained to us the meaning and story of each pagoda but with some incentive of course.

Most of their offerings are made of rice or decompose things, which is good for the environment.

 Got back to our homestay around evening. Walk in a tiny street with lovely words and painting written on the road. A small Bali inspired front door greeted us, our homestay place:

Rested and night went out to hunt for the famous 'babi-guling' and the shop was closed, ate at 'warong' instead. After that walked around Ubut area and yeap drizzled night. I am fairly impressed with the design of most of the cafes in Bali, all very unique and fun to look at.

Drank fruit juice at a juice bar, oh and we had beer earlier, beer was cheap:

Myra with monkey king.

First day in Bali : mixed feeling, surreal (getting use to holiday mood) + excitement.
