Going Broke

Back to work again, i think i've been a pretty good boy recently although i will admit that i have gone late on a number of occasions. But i've got to work every single day for the past...well since the time i got really sick and needed to take the whole week off la, which of course couldn't be helped. You know what i wanted to go to work, but doctors advice was to stay at home...so oh well, hehehe.

Yeah well, anyway i'm still dragging myself through the start of the week...i guess this is what some people call monday blues huh? Or something like that anyway. Was out clubbing again last weekend, an old friends birthday and another friend that wanted to celebrate his return to "civilization"...lol, not his words but mine. So we all went out to club with a pretty large group i might add, i guess it was fun enough that they wanted to go again next week....Please!!! Spare me!!! my wallet is really running very thin already...anymore and i'll just die of starvation.



So i'm seriously running dry and i really gotta find some cost saving technique or i won't make it through the month. So first off for food...i think i'll just go buy rice, cook it and eat it with black soy sauce. Now thats definitely gonna be cost saving, plus the soy sauce adds flavor to it so i won't have to eat plain and dull rice. Now if only i can find out some magic secret on how to save on the really expensive stuff....fuel. I guess the best way would be to break someones car open and siphon his petrol into my car. Yeah that sounds like a plan, why pay for petrol when others do it for you...with home delivery too. Hope none of my neighbours are reading this, lol.

Bali - Final Night

Well i guess some of us had too much to drink the night before and so my room mate and i woke up too late and we missed breakfast...Oh well. Anyway since it was almost near lunch time we just headed down our hotel to hard rock cafe for lunch, which blew a hole in my wallet....a very big hole, and considering the shopping spree that i went on the night before i almost finish all my local currency. Then we went to the beach for a short walk and the sand was fucking burning...yes it was that hot, it was so hot that you'd feel like your stepping on coals or something. Actually thats the impression i got, i don't know cause i was wearing my sandals the whole time.

So we walked along the beach back to the hotel where we chilled out for awhile and then it was on with the tour again. This time we went to a Spa, a Balinese spa place...well i guess it was pretty ok only la, i was expecting better. And after the spa we went off to visit another temple, and man this temple is like full of monkeys i tell you. Dinner followed and we went to hard rock hotel for some drinks with the bosses....so that pretty much sums up the trip, theres a little bit more actually but i think thats a story for another time.

Bali - Day 2

Well day two started with lunch, or at least thats what the pictures are telling me...i can't really remember what we did in the morning. I remember eating breakfast though, but what we did after breakfast i can't really remember...(ponder)...Oh yeah, we went to visit all those handicraft places. Erm, i didn't really take pictures cause everyone was crowding to either look or take pictures so i figured that i'd just get the pictures off from them. Yup haven't done that yet. Although i can't really remember where was the first handicraft place we actually stopped at...so i guess i'll just not go into it in any specific order. So we visited a Batik place, a silver and gold carving place and then there was the painting place...i remember the last was a wood carving place, now i feel like i left out something but i seriously can't recall what was one more....assuming there is one more.

Then we stopped for lunch, actually i really don't remember this part so well...i could be wrong but i think we actually stopped for lunch before we actually finished visiting those places that i mentioned earlier. But anyway, we had crispy duck for lunch. Not too bad actually...and of course we got to try a little bit of smoked duck which i heard takes like a whole day to prepare and we also tried some 'Babi Guling'. Wasn't really too impressed with the babi guling cause i kinda tasted it before when i was in the Phillipines...or at least tasted something very similar.

Well after all the handicraft places we went to some market which i can't remember the name, and its pretty much like central market cept that its open air and its fucking hot.

Funny thing is it didn't look all that hot...but trust me it was, and coming from a guy who hardly sweats you better believe it when i tell you you'd sweat like a pig. After we were done there we went to another similar market which i also forgot what its called...But i didn't really bother to go down or take pics there, cause everything there is so similar to the first only difference is probably the size, it was smaller. After that we had dinner and then went back to the hotel...dinner was at some Chinese restaurant which was really crap...the food that is, i've never tasted food so bad, and the best part is i was hungry...and it still tasted like crap. Not gonna talk bout it. After that i went shopping and blew almost all my money after which i decided that i should have coffee....i so love this picture of the amount i had to pay, the amount of zeros are just nuts...makes you feel rich.


Finally after that only did we go back to the hotel, walked was more like it...sweating like a pig and all. I tell you after that long day nothing beats having a nice cold shower, man i felt like i could have just stood there forever. Anyway after the shower i chilled for awhile then got dressed and went out for our first experience of the night life in Bali. Well we went to this place which was recommended to us by the tour guide and some other people like the cab drivers. We arrive at about 10 plus to 11 to an empty joint....we were like WTF!!??? Well apparently someone forgot to tell us that the pace starts to pick up at 2am!!!! Oh well, we just went to some empty ass place and drank a few jugs before we went back to catch our Zzzzz.
Before we went straight back though we stopped by the McDonalds to grab a bite after all that drinking we were very very hungry people....BRING ON THE MUNCHIES!!!


And that pretty sums up the events of day two...was long and tiring, and obviously the drinking just made it all the better to have one hell of a good night sleep.

Bali - Day 1

While we were walking to the plane i saw a funky ass looking airplane and i thought i'd take a picture to show you guys what kind of a plane we were sitting in for the long journey. Well technically its not long and was more like relatively short.

And when we arrived at the airport we were greeted by our tour guide and then the locals gave us one of those flowery thingies you put around your neck smelling all...flowery. Which obviously made the whole bus smell fragrant in some ways.

When we got there we didn't even have time to check into our hotels, and the tour began right away. Considering that we arrived there in the afternoon and that we haven't had lunch our first stop was to a restaurant, unfortunately since i haven't gone and take the rest of the pictures from my other colleagues i would just have to settle with showing you what i took which is just a plaque of the restaurant...not too bad actually, the food that is.

After we had our stomachs filled, we still have time to go back to the hotel to chill or anything like that. So we proceeded to our next tour destination which is Tanah Lot. Its actually a site of a temple, i thought it was pretty cool though and apparently during the high tide you can actually see the temple floating on water...Well at least thats what the tour guide said. In reality though the temple rests over a a small piece of land where the surroundings have since eroded leaving just that small piece of land where the temple sits on, so obviously during high tide the temple is gonna look like its floating. Well we didn't stay around long enough to wait for that...so no floating temple pics.

Well apparently from here you can actually have a very good view of the sunset, and so we waited and lepaked and chilled and what not all for the sake of a sun disappearing before our very eyes. Hell we were so free that we even watched a whole bunch of crabs try to catch fish...now that was really long. Of course we didn't see that happen thanks to all the cheering of nature getting violent, so i guess the fishes got scared and just remained in hiding....sorry crab you're gonna have to wait a little longer. Finally when the time came there was no sunset...thanks to cloudy weather.

By the time we were done with Tanah Lot, it was time for dinner and so we went to this place (i can't remember what it was called) and we lou sang!!! hahaha...so that makes it two times this. After which the dishes came and i showed them the powah of my devouring mode...erm, well you'd probably not know what that is, but you gotta see me eat dinner when i'm hungry to understand....hehehe.


And then FINALLY we got to go back to the hotel at i think was 10pm or somewhere around that time. So it was tiring as hell and after all that walking and sweating i felt like crap and i really needed a nice hot or cold (i couldn't really give a damn) shower. We were so tired that we didn't even bother to go out, actually partly due to the rain as well. So some of them not so tired people came to our room to gamble. Yeah and they were so loud that the reception called because some people were not too happy with the noise coming from the room. Actually they were so loud that i had to jack the volume on the TV and when they left the TV was blasting. So thats it for day 1 of Bali.

Very Tired

Ok i know i'm supposed to be putting up pics and telling you guys story bout the trip to Bali, but honestly i haven't slept the whole night, i didn't have my lunch and i didn't have a cigarette break when i was at work for like 9 hours. And under the amount of stress and what not i was getting today i think i should have went. So i'm a little grouchy today although i still have that happy thought in me so i'm not gonna bitch any further then that. But it sure as hell was a long day at work today, and its been quite some time since i've actually been out so long from morning till now.

Well besides me being really tired and all from work i don't really want to go on and on about my story telling of what happened on my trip with pictures to illustrate, so i guess if i'm not too tired tomorrow then i'll put the pictures and the story telling up tomorrow. Hrm, but i'm pretty sure that i'll be coming home late tomorrow since i have to go to the airport to pick up a friend whos coming back from vacation. So i'm pretty sure i'll have to go out right after that for some drinks and chatter...But you never know. I might have more time in the afternoon, so we'll see.
