 It will be the last chapter on my farewell vacation in Bali. Here are the last two days! ^^

Thursday, May 3rd

Unlike the other days, this thursday morning started late and sluggish. Like there will be no activities or schedule on that day, while in fact there is. We went to Bedugul, a mountain lake area between Denpasar and Singaraja. As i suspect before, this trip was bored and the lake......sorry to say but nothing special there. Except our buffet lunch at a restaurant where is opposite the lake, across the road. :9

The weather is cool but sunny. Students were busy taking picture around the lake.

I gave my 8.5 (scale 10) for the tour agency, i also like Bli Ketut who become my local tour guide during the trip. Even he is talkative and sometimes his voice annoyed, but he is friendly and really informative.

 After spending some time at Bedugul, then we went down to Denpasar again...to Joger. It's time to complete my souvenir list for my family. I felt guilt if i don't give to all my family members. I supposed to accomplish the mission on Sukowati but don't know why....i skipped. TT


As it start not so interesting then the day just ended that way. Early dinner and settle down at the hotel. What a day

So........the five of us decided to go out at night. Actually i only have 100.000 IDR in my wallet and have said that i wouldn't spend any for the night. But it was an epic failed when we found Bubba Gump restaurant. =___________________=

The movie, Forrest Gump

And it is also a big regret when i left my camera at the hotel. #doubleattacked. Rely on my nokia N8:

horrible photo| margarita toast

We got a kecak's show (traditional dance from Bali) from the drink that we ordered, a briliant service idea, isn't? I have the video but it was too incompetent and ashamed me so i won't share it here. haha
I wonder why they rimmed the glass with salt? One of my friend answered it is to avoid us drunk. Silly prediction, margaritas are made with well or low grade tequila. After i did ask the google, i knew that it is only to enhance the taste. And Just found out that....citta is easily turning red. haha :D

Oh yeah, Widi is the one who is very happy that night, couldn't be happier maybe to found the resto. He adore and inspired by the movie so much. He bought a bag, cost ? i forgot but it's not worth it for me. :p and he already found out that it was too small for him after arrived in Jakarta. wkkwkwkwk lol

That's how we spent our last night in Bali.

Friday, May 4th

Eventually we've met the last day. My second visit to Bali does't add my fondness about the place. However it doesn't mean i didn't enjoy my time there. I enjoy but.....i won't say that i miss the moment in Bali. How could it be so hard for me for totally having fun. *sigh

On this day we checked out from the hotel and went to Titiles, a shop that sells food made of pork. I didn't buy anything there, mom has worned me not to buy the food. (just because my family don't like it, but Titiles is well known in Bali). I was busy taking picture of many animals there. Breed Lion-tiger (infertile), deer, birds, tutle, etc.

I have a trick for those who wanna take picture at the zoo or anything in the cage. Often the railing avoid us to get a clear photos.This is how i got this picture, read the caption.

Use the smallest number or the wider aperture in your camera. And focusing to the object. Piece of cake? :)

Hmm i finally asked the tour guide about the offerings. My friend 

shouted me when i accidental stepped on it. Bli Ketut explained it to me. He said that it's not a mistake when you step it while u're walking 

on the road. But just like when we are eating, don't disturb when the people are doing the offerings. Ussually to begin and end the day. About the content or things that is offer is depend on the people occupation. He means, if the person selling rice, most likely the offering also contains rice. But there always be flowers and water inside. Thank you Bli for the explanation :)

Straight from Titiles we went to the airport, going back to Jakarta. And that's some parts of my experience in Bali.

As a closing, let me introduce these effortless frienship between me-citta-elfin and widi-nando in Bali. Those boys accompanied us wherever we go (included doing nail art) cause they afraid that our broken hearted friend (elfin) will do something reckless. But i thank them, a little bit feel secure when we were wandering at night. In a brief,
Citta: ever wannabe a doctor but her failing to enter science class finally brought to her passion as a fashion designer
Elfin: ever wannabe a dentist but her failing to enter science class finally brought her a yellow jacket, fiscal management and dreaming will have RI 20 (fiscal ministries's) one day
Nando: he and citta is our cat and dog. I don't know what happened, nothing romantic! it's really is, cat and dog. He is now taking electro in china.
Widi: Soon become a great chef, now studying in Malaysia and will move to Ausie next year. He got a real 'comical' face.

Facing the giant

 I put the title as i remember the title of the movie above. Honestly i forget the story (i don't remember stories, artist, and song) but it must be about problem solving. hehe i watched it at school in CFD (character formation development *eh?) lesson.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've my own promise that i won't post any melancholic, poem, and sort of things in this blog. But now when the situation like....swimming in the ocean without any direction and thundering typhoon is what's happening i can't help to not write anything in my mind.

The hardest part is about my mom, to keep believing that God will heal her at the right time. I said the right time because maybe we should take the process right now....we means family. How to keep strong and optimist even if the doctor said that your mom have reach the ill into stage 4.  I wish i could turn off all the negative thoughts. I afraid of losing her and that thought began to haunt me. Now you know why the blog name ouverthink.

Another problem seems smaller when you are facing something bigger. I'm starting to just let the pain flow. People can't really hurt you if you don't let your heart being hurt. Just keep it on the safe place. Hide.

At the end i just can surrender all to Him...He creates everything in this world, will it be so hard for Him to help me? Not at all, isn't?
Now imagine at the time...when my mom known as a cancer survivor...when she could share her experience to encourage others. When my family become closer to each other...more love more care. When i will be very happy to see mom and dad still together and playing with their grandchilds. No more pain no more loneliness. And the time when the family unite to praise the Lord.

it's my bad

Eventually after two weeks being claimed to the insurance for repair ! i met shiro again.... :D
Shiro is a white  Honda Jazz, I name after shin-chan's dog. hehe. My Father bought it on my 17th birthday, but i never take it as a present. Shiro is my Dad's. Since i never feel any possession on him,  i don't take care on him either. ><
But i'm not deliberately crush him everywhere....that's all genuinely accident...

repair details

I won't forget my first crush (of course! on my first grade, his name is Simon, my first prefect who is good on drawing :D). It was on my first day driving my mom to the market in the morning. Everything was going perfectly until something happened at the exit gate. I queued in the line, when i should moved forward, i step on the gas while it wasn't needed.(i got an automatic car, we know that it will flow automatically when it's on 'D' mode). It happened so fast, when i stepped the gas and heard a shocking crashing sound. I looked into the car infront of me. It's a grey Grand Livina. I saw it's lower bumper has a dent which is enough serious. Maybe something hard and fast has crashed it from behind. And i wouldn't thought that was me! :s
For some time while my mom got a her panic attack, i still not considered if the horror injury in that car is my fault. How could that -like soft kissing car to car- able causes that hollow space. TT
Then i paid the ticket...parked aside the road and open the window cause the owner of that victim car approached me. I don't remember him, but he is tall and big, maybe around forty.
What can i do? except put on my puppy eyes and say sorry.

"Maaf om....sa..saya gak tau om...maaf banget om..."

And thanks God, You're so kind for You have touched that man's heart and saved me so He just forgave my fault and go. But his wife in the car looks very angry. :s mmm sorry mam.... :(((

Arrive at home my mom looked pale and histerical called my father who was still sleepy. Then i said to my father,"Our car has a hard body, it's allright". Then Father checked out by his self.
"De..................where is the plate?" He means the H logo for Honda. I lost it! in the crash! *dang
"And do you really consider it as allright?" He pointed the torned part and a little bit loose part. hoummm

Some scratches

I'm not going to tell you all the history of the scratches, the most gladden news is...........i got the plate replaced! haha
Here's the picture :

Actually i don't enjoy driving....it totally makes me stressed out! But i promise i'll be more careful driving you shiro ♥

Bay Window

I can't wait to show you some favourite items in my room. hoho. I turn a lil girl again whenever i enter this room. Full of personal touches...bright pink...smell nice and grown up is out of the definition.

I draw it by my own, but using chinese ink isn't a good idea. The ink clutter away when my shaking hand brush the wall.

It's been so long since i was kid that i want a bay window in my own bedroom. Even until i got married one day, i still want it. ♥

Here is my bay window...tadaaa! Thanks dad for the seat...^^

Three flower pots from ace hardware | my siblingshood photograph and squeaky broken clock | winner harmonic and broken wand

That window taken the whole side of my west wall. It has my backyard view, wishing for a better garden....=="

Now let's move into my wardrobe zone.

My silhouette for cupboard door, not gonna show you the full view, it's so messy!

My toolbox, i know the heels looks weird =="

My sister in law gave me this cute accessories storage

I wrote it using glass decor, let me read it for you: You're never fully dress without a smile. :)

I have a shelf to keep my book and dry box (camera stuff). I love the up surface, covered by traditional mat from Brastagi-North Sumatera.
When the lamp (i call it lampu ayam)  turned on, it's time to be drowned in my 9 years old blanket. :3

Already found that old poster, a gift for my birthday, i don't rember it. haha. But i like the poem, a prayer from a little girl

I don't do christmas decor, it's from my sister.

Switch!

That's all.....now i'm on my way to make a world map painting using water color. I'll hung the painting as my headboard.
Still have so many spaces to fill....yeay. Gonna update this post soon :D

Bali 2012 part two

If you haven't read the part one, here is the link: Bali 2012 part one

Tuesday, May 1st

Far before the vacation day, we've got the schedule. I read quick silver and nusa panida in the Tuesday list, thought both were located separately. I even considered that quick silver as a brand...maybe we'll visit a shop. Actually that one is QuiKsilver. =="

We went to Nusa Panida and enjoyed the island using Quick Silver, it's a cruise holiday package. They accomodate transport, lunch ,snorkelling , some water sport (poor banana boat, they're so mean),and submarine site, etc depends on the package.

Half piece of the ticket

At first i was elated about snorkelling, but then...i realized...it's not really into me. The atmosphere down there is very dim and silence. I'm glad to see those colorful fish...but i hate the thrill that i feel. You might say i'm hyperbolic but it's the truth. *sigh

 

Advices for joining quick silver:

1. don't forget to bring your swimming suit, and extra clothes (also plastic bag). Some of us doens't know there will be so much to do in water, they only brought jeans.

2. It's better if you bring your own snorkelling equipment

3.  use your lunch time wisely, you'll get nothing after that lunch time. Remember buffet rules!

4. manage your time in the water, remember that you should bath and changing clothes

5. If you have no one for entrusting your belonging , they have lockers anw.

The sites located on different places,  they provide boats and divide us into some smaller groups.

Today ended with shopping session at Krisna, this is the biggest souvernir market in Denpasar. No bargain.

What did we do with the free time at night? Walked along Legian, finding pizza tungku but eventually we anchored in a restaurant that i forgot the name, we ordered two thin pizza and calzone there. =="

Wednesday, May 2nd

It's a free day...........!!! no fixed schedule except going to Pasar Sukowati for shopping. It's remarkable that i starting to like bargaining since i visited this place. hoho usually my mom do the job for me. 

What were we doing this day? 'we' means the five of us. We went to kuta by taxi and got home by walking. Got some tattoo and nail art. I got my thunder tattoo harry potter wannabe on my forehead. haha

Citta asked me to make some- she called it -'tumblr photos'. Here are some:

Then we just sitting on the beach, waiting for the sunset. And quickly left after we all knew the sunset would not come. During in Bali....i didn't see any sunset without cloud interference.

I was kind of scared while walking back to our hotel that night. We passed through narrow and dark street, besides we got lost for a moment and see the magic mushroom sign everywhere.

On this day we also should buy our own supper, so i bought one pork rice (the seller is not friendly at all, i prejudiced she marked up the price ==", when i asked s'o who is eating, he shut up!, hellooowww we are a domestic tourist!) then we decided to find a resto. Unfortunately it's also disappointing.  They threat westerner so well but not us. Hmm i wonder, is that because we looks like kiddo wandering around without momma and daddy?

We closed the day by playing cards with powder until midnight

Allright there remains two more days, i will split it into another post :D

Simple happiness

It's a random post. About online shop, postcrossing, and my bedroom make over.

ONLINE SHOP
Just before i went to Kerinci, i've got my postcards from PATW (postcard around the world). First i saw the website, i'm really happy cause you know postcards is kinda rare in my town. But.....when i opened the packaging...this is my face : =_____________=
What a card! It's burned! I knew there must be something  wrong with the printing, the pictures in the website looks nice. I was disillusioned :(
They said sorry but useless!!! give my money back. (i didn't say that)
Well...i better make my own later. But i'm sure they will fix it soon .

Another  things that i ordered is 3D angry bird 4G flashdisc. Only 68.000IDR !!! they are so generous, don't u think so??? wkwk. (check another offering at disdus.com ). My nephew so in love with it but sorry keeran....aunt does soooo :p

it's 3D

POSTCROSSING
I got a special feeling when in the evening checking the mailbox and found postcards in it. hehe everyone loves surprise, it's my simple version of being surprised.

Finally it is been put on the wall! no one can do drilling, so before my dad came, mom hanging it on the fence with my skipping rope. haha. So far...i have received 8 postcards...later i will make a special post to 'show off' those lovely things.

BEDROOM MAKEOVER
I'm doing a lot of thinking about my bedroom, what i should do to those empty spaces on the wall. I have some ideas, but inspite of decorating the wall...i decorating my window...but later i promise to show you something new on my wall. coming soon!

Later will change it little by little

It's so common in scoop, a shop that sell many cute stuffs located inside the summarecon mall serpong. But i bought the material separately, maybe it became more pricey....but it's my false. Those excessive material can make two more of it.

And it's a blessing for my early homecoming. I could help my sister packing those souvenirs for ghyan one month thanksgiving (is that the right word for syukuran?)
I made the sticker and card and packing the egg. Also the cookies jar.hoho

Any order? ;p
