Bali -- Day 3

Bali -- Day 2

Bali -- Day 1

Our first day in Bali got us all really excited and ready to explore the island.  The day seemed very promising from the moment we woke up.  Everything was perfect!  Of course my definition of perfect would be clear, blue skies and Mr. Sun coming out to play.  We didn't get to have breakfast in the morning since we woke up a tad bit late just in time for brunch.  Little did we know that we were headed to one of Bali's popular restaurants.  

Off to Bali

I've been trying to save this post up for times like these.  Oh how I long to be hopping from airport to airport at this time of the year and be somewhere else other than Macau.  The weather here as of now is just plain "ugh".  First of all, there's the thick fog in the mornings where buildings are not visible.  The grounds are wet and the humidity is just not growing on me.  I've been trying my best not to let the weather get to me, but there are times when I just can't help myself from being like this.

I wish the sun would come out already and the skies would clear up.  I'd really love to see that light shade of blue in the sky again.

Anyway, the photos above were taken en route to Bali and I can't tell you how excited I was to get on the plane.  In fact, I'm looking forward to the day when I'll be able to step foot on a plane again, just because flying is fun.  Aaaah the joys of travelling!  Honestly, it's what makes life interesting for me and it's what keeps me motivated.  The thought of being able to see the world bit by bit is something I would work for.

Question of the day:  What keeps you motivated?

Before I even got off the car, I immediately spotted this little cafe where Pamela and Arbi were going to take us which at first I thought looked a little bit old school.  My reason for thinking that way at that time was probably because of how it looked from the outside, not to mention it looked like it was for kids.  Of course, my view changed the moment we sat down and were given menus.  Everything there is adorable!!  From their menus to the waitresses' uniforms and the presentation of their food.  The ambience was just perfect as everyone seemed to be in their most relaxed state.

The food was really delish!  If you have a sweet tooth like me, then you'll love the cakes/desserts they offer.  Oh and the strawberry milk tea was just heavenly yummy!  I'm probably exaggerating too much, but it was really good cause it was the first time I've ever tasted something like it.  It never even occurred to me that such a drink existed.  Haha!  Anyway, if ever you're in Jakarta, the drink is a must-try!  I hope you enjoy the photos.  Till next post. :)

Jakarta Photo Diary.

Jakarta was a blast!!!  Good food, awesome people, interesting culture and most of all a CNY holiday well spent!  I always enjoy travelling because of everything I just mentioned previously, but most of all it's because of the experience I gain through interacting with people.  The feeling I felt while I was there is inexplicable because even though there were a lot of times when I did not understand what they were talking about, I still felt welcome.  It's as though there was a connection with only the slightest bit of awkwardness in the beginning and after bonding through card games, eating and mall hopping, the latter part disappeared.  It is those wonderful moments that I treasure the most because after everything I've seen, the only thing I tend to remember is the overwhelming joy I felt.  Till next post, loves!
