Playing With Fire?

Indonesia was simply awesome - I almost enjoyed every bit of it except for Bali where it made me feel that each and every local had only one common goal; rip the foreigner. Nevertheless, I found some nice spots and good food joints that I'd like to bring him someday. 

Bali was a place I always wanted to only go with my partner, but due to reasons I went earlier. And it somehow work out for the betterment, I guess. I now know the better places to go for a nicer holiday. Kuta and Seminyak are nothing but just slumps of the island.

If I were to rate my liking for the cities that I went to, I'd list them as follow - Bandung, Jakarta and Bali. I should have holidayed and explored this country much earlier. The people there are so much nicer than the commonly constipated Malaysians. I did make some many friends along the way and met a lot of interesting characters. 

I do feel grateful for the having the trip as it made me clear up a lot of things and clear a lot of clutter along the way. Retail therapy was good and I officially declare that I speak better Indonesian than Malay. 

While having a really good time there, I do think that I somehow started playing with fire as well too. 

I got to know someone along the way and we have been keeping tab since. Its been almost three weeks now since I returned but the conversations are still on going on a steady flow. It's a whole lot scarier that I've not physically met the person.

Those who are close to me says that I'm liking him and that I'm in denial of it. Me, on the other hand, am not sure how to handle the situation. I realized this morning that I subconsciously look forward for his messages or message him first thing in the morning daily and he is always the last person I talk to everyday as well. 

All this is a feels quite scary now that I just recovered from all the drama and semester is just about to start and it somehow feels like history repeating itself.

Whatever it may be, I just hope to not get myself in the same circle once more. Time will tell. 

Til then, I'm planning for a party this October in Jakarta; the night life is pretty fun with a cheap price tag. Me gusta

Indo Me

Sweet Awesome! 

I've been long waiting for this day to arrive, but knowing me, everything was still left to the last minute. I do really doubt I could possibly go any later than this. I left office close to nine this evening and by then, I had yet to pack my bag. Luckily I changed some money yesterday, else I'd be going without any Rupiah tomorrow; just some left over USD from my previous trips.

I'm hoping it'll be nine awesome party nights, but I do have some reservations since its the fasting month right now. Talk about bad timing. Grrrr...

Nevertheless, I'm sure it'll be a feast to my eyes since I do go crazy over Indonesian hotties. It's like they have the perfect tan - well roasted nuts.Yummy!

Too late to regret not forcing myself to the gym to pump up a little, but I'm still pretty sure I'd do alright. Fingers crossed.

I better set my alarm earlier tomorrow as I've got a morning flight to catch and I don't really want to be running after my flight again. I do have a pretty good track record of running after flights and having me being called over the PA system.

Just the thought of no laptops or ringing mobile phones is making me feel so much better already. I might consider doing a phone book clean up tomorrow while flying, there are some weeds that needs cleaning up.

It's time to shop til I drop and savor some Indonesian delicacies.

Synchronized Diving

I decided to take a slight detour after visiting my grandmother in the hospital on late Monday evening to the pub just to clear my head a little. Drove me to my favourite spot and got me my regular. I was just sitting there enjoying my drink and sinking in to the live band which by the way isn't bad at all when my attention was suddenly taken by one of the screen.

They were screening men's synchronized diving. All those hard bodies and skimpy trunks. Drool to the max!

So there I was enjoying watching pairs after pairs of almost perfect proportion of male physique. Exercising my eyes to the max as well with all the well sync diving. One eye focused on each guy. Such a visual treat. Not bad for a Monday night at all.

   

     

 

It's already Wednesday and I have neither changed any currency nor packed my bags. I still have so much to do with so little time. I could make do without the luggage since shopping is the main agenda, but I've to ensure that the money has to least been changed.
