...from bali, yeeha! after 6 days of chilling out, with a heavy heart and severe muscle cramps, i dragged myself to the airport for my plane back home.

i had some enrich points that were expiring, and coincidentally Enrich had a promo to Bali for 30% less points than usual. so i booked my seats 10 days before going and asked several friends who i thought might have enrich points to use (plane tickets were already RM2.5k). unfortunately, my last minute plan wasn't so well-received, but fortunately a couple of days later, my friend Lan said he could come with but he needed to leave by Sunday. woohooo! thank goodness, at least i had company for a few days before braving Bali by myself. i suppose i would get by OK by myself, but having company definitely made it more fun (and cheaper, hehe).

we did the usual touristy things. the weather was alright for the first 4 days, then it got very cloudy and stormy so i didn't get many sunset photos. Legian Street was flooded on Monday night. boohooo...but it was fun nevertheless. getting stuck alone at the TanahLot temple with the priests (caretakers?) while waiting for the storm to pass was not at all what i imagined to be doing, but what the heck...ikut aja lah. hehe

i also never thought i'd be brave enough to go scuba diving and surfing, but i did. diving was muchas excellente, but i failed miserably at surfing..hihi. got tired after 1 hour on the first day, and skipped my second lesson because my muscles hurt like hell when i woke up the next morning, so i just decided to lie in bed for a couple of hours instead.

best siol bali...hehehe.
