Bale'ing

i had a short get-away .. Bali revisited .. but i was Bale' refreshed! .. a place which now im trying to describe in words .. if i cud ..

so i was there on the island .. for hotels or resort hunting.. which was "interrupted" by some series of lil shopping along the way.. first day on friday.. we went to the furthest long 3 hours drive to Ubud the hi-land of bali cosy drizzling noon.. went to some pockets villas.. and its the shopping world for abstract art lovers.. some tailing shopping of paintings, crafted stuff .. which later ended with some refreshing moments at Biyukukung.. excellent .. that i fell asleep while receiving some treatment in the sound of drizzling on the rooftop, the green view of sunset reflecting its orange rays to the spread of green paddyfield .. which after we went straight back to Kuta after visiting some in-between-space resorts at nite .. and a nice dinner .. the nite in Legian n Kuta was not much differ than those we have in Bkt Bintang, only that the roads r very narrow, full of drunkard shows, the stronger smell of beer along the way and traffic jam which was (of course) caused by taxis ..

second day.. went down south the first target was the adjacent Seminyak.. unbelievable The 151..hi-tech villas for only usd600k! (30 yrs leasehold tho) ,then straight to Nusa Dua, heaven for golfers ..saw The Ayodhya and its fierce celebrating entrance of dragons and mystique figures which used to be The Hilton a year ago.. then the calm Amanusa .. this one is worth to be described thru pics .. floating floating bowls in the ponds and yeah great bungee jumping spot at the end of the road..then The Nusa Dua.. the old and one of the pioneers since 1980s.. how it has aged and very monestic still very excellent ..and the orgasmic part was the 5yr old Bale' .. a place that gave me the goosebumps all the way walking around..

we just passed by and stopped and we we greeted by a spanish guy w long hair.. never we thot he is one of the co-founder of the exquisite heaven on earth.. its a place worth staying with ur only loved one .. definitely .. surprises surprises .. beyond words .. he led us from the entrance to the villa unit .. erk! i cud die .. oh mama mia! the shocking part was it was designed by an early 30-ish humble local grad architect.. so the founder said this was the only place he only managed to put on his idea after he tried in europe.. in bali everything is possible and flexible .. a walk to heaven, to the light, to the delight moments of the living life .. we arrived as it was about to sunset.. and i watched how the place transformed from bright reflection of sandstone due to natural daylight to the moment when its reflected back by the warm hidden lights of the electricity.. it won the best boutique hotel in indonesia (130staff vs 29 units) and the second in the world last yr .. hey its usd600k a nite! cheap?? hmm i cud more pics for u guys to see it ..
later the dinner was at Jimbaran the candle lite cheap yummy seafood heaven by the sea with a cute Tofa (the waiter) attending us.. in the sound of the wave thrashing the shore, the straight series of lights of the plane runaway, the clear sight of the stars above.. with the mind and heart wished i was with him.. the one i missed very much ..

third day was a sneak peek at The Popies at Popies 1.. nice sneaky hotel..didnt shop much tho.. when ur away u just thot of those at home and wondered what shud u get them .. that the kind of shopping i did .. for myself .. a lil one or 2 of that .. mostly just browsing n planning in the head what shud i purchase in next visit .. (woohoo!)..

this one was a worth trip and it was perfect .. well almost if only that we didnt lost our way to the hotel the nite we arrived for 3 hours (plus some arguments n yelling) and only had maggi for the dinner, lost of rm100 to the money changer (damn! killed my mood to shop!), kinda lost our ways to some districts too, some more arguments, out of 4 travellers only 2 managed to go home that nite and how actually caused the delay of our plane by 30mins, how we had to identify ourselves when all passengers were seated and were approached by the captain to tell us what was happening, how my friend n i had to bring home the baggages of those 2 mid lastnite.. yeah
but all those was nothing compared to the dream i had .. the moment how i was visited by the "light" .. that i opened my eyes and saw it ..wishing to take something from me which i begged for another chance of repentance .. and i did feel that feeling .. emotionally n physically how it was pulled out and brought back to me .. a reality check .. a double check what it means .. its freakin me out ..
