Bali.



  1. Bali was quite awesome. It was exotic, mainly because the Hindu they practice over there is very different from the one in Malaysia. The word I find suitable to describe Bali Hindu is ancient.
  2. Bali drivers and motorcyclists always drive in 3 lanes, even when there are only 2. Imagine how close the cars and bikes are.
  3. People over there will honk their cars every chance that they get. Sometimes I don't even know what they're honking at. They even honk at innocent pedestrians who are trying to cross the roads.
  4. Guys where flowers on their ears. Both of their ears.
  5. Madi is Bali's common name for guys.
  6. I couldn't stand the weather in Bali. No, that's not it. I couldn't stand being sweaty while sight-seeing or shopping or whatever. Super menyampah, bukan?
  7. Matahari is a very decent mall in Kuta Square where you can find cheap but pretty clothes. SANGAT MURAH OKAAAY, BILA CONVERT JADI MURAH GILA TIBA-TIBA BAWAK PERGI KAUNTER ORANG TU CAKAP ''INI DISKON LAGI 50 PERSEN YAA.."
  8. Apparently they think that a piece of wood carving shaped like a p*nis would make a good souvenir for the tourists.
  9. Tanah Lot was breathtakingly beautiful.
  10. Halal food was not easy to find in Bali. To them, a halal restaurant is the one that doesn't serve pork.
  11. 85% of the population are Hindus.
  12. The only mosque in Bali was under renovation and the state of that building was awful! There were pieces of cements everywhere on the floor. There were no walls at the women ablution place. Men and women can easily main-main mata with each other in the prayer halls because they don't put any tabir.
  13. Some Balinese's hate for Malaysians are obvious. Bola punya pasal. I hope they didn't put anything in my food.
  14. The billboards were funny because they were written in Indonesian. "Ketik 1234 untuk mendapatkan SMS gratis." which means "Type 1234 to get free SMSs" Ketikketikketikketik.
  15. Andi and I got annoyed with a group of tourists from China while having lunch in Kintamani because they yelled and shouted instead of just talk. Are they always that loud? I mean they're talking to the person next to them, but it was as if they're 100 meters apart.
  16. Hazim mandi swimming pool sampai hitam, sampai kawan dia tanya, "Eh, awak siapa?" HAHAHHA
  17. Bali is quite famous for its kopi luwak, and it's said to be the most expensive coffee in the world. The coffee bean was eaten by a type of musang, called luwak and apparently the bean got half processed inside the luwak. So eventually the luwak has to poop the bean out. And these crazy people made coffee out of those poop beans. It smells quite delicious though. The coffee, not the luwak. And definitely not its poop.
  18. Sambung pasal luwak. Because of the increasing demands of the coffee, the Balinese actually force the luwak to eat coffee beans, which are not their favourite food. So, many luwaks become unhealthy and stressed out because of that. :(
  19. My flight to Malaysia was delayed for an hour. Stupid Air Asia.
  20. Never, I repeat, NEVER line up behind an Arab at the airport. Mesti ada je yang tak kena and you end up waiting a long long time for them to get settled at the counter. And they won't step aside and let other people through, and they will never admit that it's their fault, boy they are one proud race.
  21. Here are some snazzy pictures that I'm going to upload on Facebook anyway.


Look at how dedicated they are to their gods. This is Vishnu and he is still incomplete. Sebab apa? Sebab tak cukup duit.

This is part of the Vishnu statue. Vishnu is suppose to like, sit on this garuda's neck or something.



The temple by the cliff.

One stressful luwak.

Welcome 2011.

What is 'pain'? Ceywah.

It's the bruise on your knee when you fell off your first bike ride.
The first trip to the dentist.
Pain is what every mother feels every single time she sees her child cry.
The shame you felt when your prom dress isn't as awesome as the other girls.
The embarrassment when people make a big deal out of your imperfections.
The sharp stab on your chest when you saw your mum cry.
Pain is crying inside.
Your first tattoo.
Your first piercing.
Pain is the tears that fall when you lost your little brother.
It is the empty space when you are miles and miles away from the one who loves you.
It is when people think you are 'unacceptable'.
Pain is when people judge you for who you aren't.
To them, you're forever that person they thought you are.
Seeing children suffering from hunger and there are nothing significant you can really do. Well, unless you're Angelina Jolie.
Pain is when people hate you when they don't even know you.
It is when your friends talk behind your back.
It's what you feel when people don't appreciate you.
It's what you feel when a man you hoped will always stand up for you, doesn't.
The hurtful feeling when you found out a friend is a back stabber.
It is the feeling of pathetic-ness when you are constantly reminded of how you will never be good enough.
It is the feeling of hopelessness when your brain tells you to let go but your heart can't seem to.

I started my new year with a painful reminder. It sucked real bad. Well, c'est la vie. I wish you guys all the best and happiness on this new year! Stay strong.

I'm an emotional train wreck HAHAHHA ahh well, that just makes me....human.
