I never knew Bali is so fun! Maybe bcos i’m really kinda a sea person.. for your information i was a sea scout for five years ok!

Okok.. sorry i gotta apologise for not putting up pics cos as again. My site encountered some problems with the pic uploading..sigh… but i’ll get it fixed soon!

Well…now i know Bali is a great holiday destination… besides taking a break from our fast paced homeland, i was there to attend a friend’s wedding! wow!!! Romantic huh! 

The ceremony was held on a private beach of a very luxurious resort called Kayumanis, Nusadua.  

It was a emotional and romantic afternoon for the newly weds.. exchanging vows, declarations of love in the warm sea breeze made everything seemed so surreal… Awwww. then followed by a night of scrumptious dinner of balinese seafood and grilled meat.. Hmmm…

After two days of wedding hassle… we finally transited from the luxurious area of Nusadua to the heart of Bali, Kuta! It was a paradise as i describe it cos it is a place of sun,sand and sea! Not to forget the countless shops and surf boutiques lined up side by side, corner to corner streched from one end of Kuta to the other!

I finally had a taste of surfing the waves!!! it was really really addictive.. and i understood the difficulties of such extreme sport.. battling against the huge lapping waves was not really easy cos in order to surf you gotta go the distance out to sea to catch the waves bringing you in…. results… … a day of fun and a body of aches. Ouch. Ohh.. and a fabulous tan of course! 

Well… i was back on mon morning and i had to attend 933 top of the pop charts event at bugis yest! It was a very interesting event to celebrate the anniversary of the charts in Singapore! To all my fans who was there for me… thank you!

As for now… it’s back to reality and work for me…. though i would really wish i could stay in Bali for another couple of days…hmmm well…
