Lonelyyy, I’m So Lonelyyyy
Not.
My first two days alone in Bali was everything i’d hoped for
Happy happy joy joy pottering about all by myself
Upon reaching the airport, i tried not to look around in obvious bewilderment on where to grab a taxi
Saw a white dude calling for his driver
Seemed he’s from here so i approached him asking where to grab one from
He’s really helpful and we started talking
Offered to get his driver to drop me off at my inn
After sizing him up and him giving me his namecard (he’s doing guest relations for the Grand Hyatt in Bali)
I figured the chances of him knocking me out with ethanol and kidnapping me weren’t very high
So i accepted and got dropped off right away
Fantastic
First half hour alone in a country i’ve never been to and i’m still alive
Okay.
I checked in, praying that Masa Inn would be as nice as the pictures were on their website
And you know what?
It didn’t look half too bad in the dark! (i arrived past 7pm)
Aircon (i cannot tahan without), fridge, hot water, CABLE TV!, no weird smells
Pool ten steps from my front door, breakfast provided
Perfect.
For RM60 a night (it’s cheaper if you’re staying with someone)
There was noone to take a picture of me
So i took one of myself la
Haven’t camwhored by myself for ages anyway
I wrote this in my Moleskin:
“The inn is amazing! Was just *censored* outside and even tho deserted, in 5 mins a dude with curly blond hair walked pass and said a friendly ‘hullo’. An old couple said hi too. They’re both staying on either side of me. Kevin should be here!! He’d love it!! The place is gorgeous like you wouldn’t believe and it’s still at night. I bet it’s even more idyllic in the daytime.”
I didn’t want to wander far when it was dark
So i just bought a SIM card and an adaptor
Before going back to the room to chill out, write, read and watch American Idol
The bigger rooms
The normal rooms
Spent all afternoon lying around the pool and reading
Decided to meet up with the Russian dude, Dmitri, i met the night before for an early dinner after his work
He said to meet up at Discovery Mall (one of the nicest malls in Bali)
But i’m not one for malls on holidays
Malls are the same everywhere
I don’t see the point of going to a mall when you can sightsee things different from your homeland
But he said there’s a nice cafe there so okay la
Being 25 minutes late, he brought me flowers
-_-
Not being an ungrateful bitch or anything… but i don’t like receiving flowers
I think its damn unnecessary and pretentious
The only times i actually liked flowers been given to me was when they were sent to my house by surprise from two friends i love dearly
I hate getting flowers
I’d rather take pictures of them in a field
Oh, and i hate Valentine’s Day also >_<
So flowers on Valentine’s Day is the ULTIMATE sangat tak suka langsung for me
I mean, of course, when people give it, i’d just smile and thank them graciously
“Oh… you shouldn’t have!”
And i really mean it when i say they shouldn’t have
-_-
And being the hoarder i am, i tend to keep the dry petals for GodKnowsWhat and end up throwing them away years later
Funny thing is, *i* like giving flowers
But bought from the market (cheaper wut), wrapped by yours truly or presented in a nice vase
Then that’s nicer right?
Ok ok stop bitching bout flowers
I LIKE FLOWERS
I like buying flowers for myself in the market and putting them in vases
Or snapping nonsensical pictures of them
Just not from an expensive florist in a bouquet
:p
Ok ok stopppp
We chatted in this cafe, called ‘Clear’ or something, that overlooked Kuta beach
Really nice and chilled out
See the mountains in the background? *gushes*
After blahing about family history, work and all that jazz
We walked around before taking a taxi to this really nice restaurant called Sky Garden on Legian road/street/whatever
This place was awesome too
I brought the other three monkeys back there on Sunday night
Huge array of Western food, sublime juice mixes and shakes (Adrian went back there the night Anna and i flew back)
This is Dmitri
Before i left Bali, i introduced him to ClownAlvin and DivaAdrian
So they were left hanging out and milking him for all his knowledge’s worth on tourist information in Bali
I hope they didn’t bully him too much

Friday Morning
I wandered around Kuta and Legian
It’s all very quaint
Many many inns and guesthouses to stay at
But the shops there sold alot of the same crap save for a few that had quirky treasures
Ok blog the rest another time
‘Tis Funny How
Seeing certain animals remind you of particular friends
I see frogs and Linus comes to mind
I see butterflies and Kim pops into my head
I see a pug and… i don’t have to say who i’m reminded off 
In Bangkok, i saw these porcelain rabbits for sale in Chatuchak
And took a shot for Lynnzter
