Where will it go from here? I don't know

I'm finally going to see u.Im quite excited i must say for we have been waiting for this opportunity to arrive for so long.And it's finally here.But the sad thing is that im not able to tell this to anyone,not even a family member.None could ever understand this.U know there was a time in my life when i oh so wanted everyone to understand me...to reach out for me is more like it.But well at this point i don't care anymore.At least i have u blog.I tell u things that i could not tell to but strangers.Strangers from all four corners of the globe.Ironic isn't it?Sometimes u think u're close enough to a person but u actually know nothing about them.Well not that this is a top secret or anything like it.I just feel that this is my right as a person who belongs to a family to have her insights shared.What's a family for?

Anyway having my heartfelt poured out,i must say i still couldnt see where it's taking us from here.Of course i should expect the best in everything but i don't know.Everything is so uncertain.Where do we go from here? I don't know............

Bali,August 2010 (Part 1)

So finally here are the pictures.Took ages for me to do that...

Actually when i recall i really had a good time in Bali.That was the first time i ride a motorbike coz that's the only mean of transportation.Well actually there are taxis but of course on a tight budget i wont be riding on taxis all the time,plus they costed alot.I made new friends with interesting people.I got the chance to look on the inside of other people's everyday life(not on a busybody term),basically young adults from middle class families who are away from home due to work.I see the differences,i appreciate what i have.I know that there are still a lot of things that i don't know and that i have to learn.Learn to be more sensitive to my surroundings and learn to care for others.

Over all,I'm glad that i decided to go to Indonesia.Im grateful that i was given this opportunity.Not only that i got the chance to see these wonderful places that Allah created on this Earth but also meeting all the people along my journey,it couldn't have mean more to mean =)

p/s: i was really excited when "Eat,Pray,Love" was first aired on the cinema.I was like,hey i've been to Bali!


Nasi jinggo.It's a mixture of rice,fried noodles,come shredded chicken and spicy coconut paste.It's delicious.



This is the monument of this famous prince Ramayana(if im not mistaken)from the epic.It's a symbol of the city.As it is well-known Balinese are hindus.

















U see idols everywhere in Bali.Just food for thought-i bet they are not God.

This one is an eagle,not a usual one but the one with a magic power.it saved Ramayana on its back.

I specially made this one big for reading purpose..

Idol again

This is a little girl playing a traditional musical instrument




This is some sort of offerings made to God during prayers like Buddhists do with oranges and other fruits.U practically see this everywhere in Bali-restaurants,roadsides,houses.Usually they are placed in front of the door right before the entrance


Syaki and Wawan


My first contact with temulawak was about 10 years ago when Nurul brought a bottle home.But it was not a drink,it was a facial cleanser.When i came here i discovered that u can actually drink it.It is a carbonated drink.It tasted sweet and had this distinctive smell that u can find with all types of herbal roots.Not really a fan of it though.


This is one of my favourites.It has tofu,long beans,cucumber,bean sprouts,cow's intestine(don't judge if u've never tried it before),rice cake,spicy groundnuts sauce and topped with crispy fried onions.This is what i like about Asian food.Each one of a single cuisine is unique to all of the senses-smell,taste,sight,touch.Unlike western food-they practically taste the same.If it's not sweet then it's salty.If it's not salty then it's oily.Rather boring i must say...
 And down here are pictures of Sanur beach.As everyone knows Bali offers the best beaches for surfing.Surfers from all over the world come here for the sole purpose of surfing.The beach has soft white sand and if u r like me who enjoys sunset u can simply sit on the bank of the cliff and enjoy the view.It was breathtaking!

My New Portable Infrared Sauna

Last Wednesday i finally got my parcel from ebay.Guess what?It's a portable infrared sauna! I've been waiting for it for like almost a month.Right after i collected it from the post office i unpacked and used it on the same day.It was really awesome.I sweat alot and i feel fresh and alive after the session.Now it's been 4 days since i used it the first time and i noticed my skin glows and all this small chickenskin-like dots i've been having on my arms have slowly disappeared but the best part of it is that i lost 1 kilo in a matter of 4 days.Amazing isn't it? =). This is like the best invention ever in the history of health&beauty revolution!I definitely love it.I feel worth spending every single cent on this elegant and modern device.

Front 
 See the picture up there?there's a small chair inside where i sit and enjoy the warmth covering my body.




Footpad
 That is the footpad.I put my feet on it and press the button,it will heat up.This is especially good for me coz i usually have cold feet,i dont know why so it increases my blood circulation in that area.
