Bali















We just returned from a wonderful break in Bali... 4 days of absolute peace and tranquility.... This is actually Ngurah Rai Airport at Denpasar. Beautiful isn't it?

This is our hotel situated in Nusa Dua - Melia Hotel. It is actually quite idyllic.
















Hao-e is as usual trying to act inconspicuous... yah right....



Everyday started with a scrumptious breakfast at El Patio



Then off to busk in the hot sun and sweltering heat. But by the second day, hao-e was lobster-red and suffering from bad bad sunburn. So we went under cover - Gianyar for Shopping then!!


Did you see those interesting things they were selling??? The masks were scary weren't they?? *Naughty grin*

We also went to one of the most sacred places in Bali - Uluwatu temple, perched atop a cliff, it was magnificent just taking in the sunset, the waves clapping onto the cliff walls, the Indian Ocean winds howling in our ears. Kecak Dance was next, it was hilarious the sounds the "choir" made...













All in all, it was a very relaxing trip. I managed to finish my book there - Time Traveller's Wife, fantastic book, watched a couple of great National Geographic shows about the Triumph of Life, swam perhaps 100m in the pool, played some scrabble on the beach, table-tennis, fed some fishes in the ponds, killed several mosquitoes, got bitten by some.... very nice. wished it could last forever. The rest of the photos are posted online at

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.
