zenn bites...

i'm back from bali..and, sadly, back in the office :( ah wel..god knows i need the money...

wish i can say that bali's great, but it was almost all work and no play...i spent 90% of the time in the hotel - it was a great hotel, the ritz-carlton bali resort and spa - but i didn't get to enjoy it much..only managed to squeeze in a swim at the pool on the morning of my last day there..oooo that felt great..the scorching sun on my back as i lay on the deck-chair, sipping my chilled watermelon juice..hotel staff at my beck and call (do i sound evil or what?!)...mmm B L I S S...

but i didn't get to explore the rest of bali much..got to go to this supermarket called MATAHARI coz i needed to get 22kitkats, 34packets of chips, and 34mars bars to make a snack pack for the customers...of coz, i did abit of personal shopping and bought 10packets of indomie (yes gracie, the type we get in melbourne..i'll pass some to you =) )...

also got to go to kuta for awhile..2 very nice guys from our freight company's bali contact brought us around...only drove down the shopping strip though, didn't get to walk much...went into a few shops, but only managed to get a roxy bag for my sis...

and we drove past the site of the bali bombing..it was so so sad...a dark hole amidst rows of brightly-lit shops..charred fencing, ruined grounds...a choking reminder of what had happened......

a memorial has been built just opposite the bomb site...it's so white and new it seems almost insulting...people walking around and posing...it's become just another place for the tourists to visit and take photos...

went to this fabulous seafood place at jimbarang beach... Y U M ...it's quite a local place, which makes it mega cheap..and the food's so fresh...we sat on the sandy beach, with the waves coming in barely 10metres away and a star-filled sky above us... G O R G E O U S ...

but that was it..my bali escapade...have to go back sometime soon...just to relax and enjoy the place...
