Interlude

Craving: Caviar with crackers


It's been a quite couple of weeks. I haven't really had much to blog about. Life has been pretty mundane. Highlight will probably have been watching Pirates of the Carribean 3 with the gang. I do think that I'll have to stop making a habit of that though. Being the only single among couples is sometimes trying. This is through no fault of their own though, it's just that seeing them all together, sometimes just makes me feel lonely. They don't alienate me though, in fact it's far from it, but I guess it just makes me realize what I don't have. Oh well.

That movie night was divided into a row of guys and a row of girls though, and no it was not my suggestion. However I think there were some among us who were not too happy with the seating arrangement. Sad to say I over heard some people saying it was because of me that the seating arrangements were such, and it really pissed me off. Firstly because it wasn't my suggestion!!! Sure I egged some ppl about it but it was all in good fun and nothing too forceful. Secondly because I was ok either way, after all I agreed to go watch movies with you guys, hence I would have expected the usual couple seating arrangements. Thirdly you guys asked me to come along, if you feel like I'm cramping your style or your "phak tor" session then please don't ask me along. I think you will be doing us both a favour. Fourth if you didn't want those seating arrangements, you could have said so! We asked if everyone was ok with it. Many times. Not happy, then just voice your opinion.

Sheesh....there I go ranting away again. I apologize to whomever the above post may offend. I just needed to get it off my chest. Just sometimes I get peeved about this you know. No worries though, friendships are all intact and there was no confrontations. Just the heat of the moment thing I believe.

Had a nice chat with a Christian brother last night. It was really good getting to share about my life and hearing him share in return. It was very encouraging for us both and it was great to be able to pray for each other. God always knows our needs and our lives are all in His hands. Place your trust in Him. God Bless.

Interesting Music

Craving: Sang Yu Chuk (Haruan Fish Porridge)

I was reading some of the fan fiction on my favourite Harry Potter fan fic site, PortKey when I came across these two little links of music. Infact I thought all the music on the page was hillarious. Go ahead and have a try, and the link will auto play the song, don't wonder which one it was..:)

Barley

Cravings: Caviar on Crackers

So I'm back from Bali. My company sent us on a holiday trip there just this last weekend, and I'll have to say it was a soso trip. Soso because even though there were some fun times, I ultimately didn't get the chance to spend time on the beach. This was all due to some mix up in our tour schedule. On our second day which we were supposed to get time off in the afternoon for our own activities never materialized.

First off our guide from Malaysia was very inexperienced, even though she claims she has been to bali five times previously, it really seemed like she was there for the first time. Many things she didn't know, and every where we went she was taking pictures as well. Sheesh....anyway it seemed there was some miscommunication with the local guide and instead of our time off, we got booked for a spa instead. Not many wanted to go for the spa, and because of that a big ruckus ensued. The local guide was upset because he said the spa would charge him instead, so he asked our guide from Malaysia to go explain, and guess what....She refused!!! My goodness so unprofessional. One of the managers had to ask her forcefully to go explain before she would. Terrible.

All was not lost on the trip though. The scenery was excellent. Both at Tanah Lot temple and at the Kintamani Volcano. Got to enjoy a great time at "The Wave" bar in the Kuta area as well. The drinks there were cheap only RM10 for a glass of Barcadi Mix, and they were very generous with the Bacardi too. The bar was quite cool, with quite a nice band, as well as this bar top dancing girls (Which I suspect aren't actually girls if you catch my drift....)

There was alot of cheap stuff there as well. Bargaining everywhere you go is a must. Where ever you go you should be aiming for 60% - 70% discounts. It was ridiculous. Some places you can get down to 10% - 20% of the original price. Crazy, and really a shopaholics paradise.

Alright that's enough of my stories..on to the pictures. :)
