Summer is Over and So Are We // Bali Film Roll 2013

heyooo! it's been ages since my last blog post (which wasn't even half decent, just a random one with my thoughts and confusion) - i'm so sorry, i've been so busy and even now i am, just that i've chosen to write this post instead of doing my holiday homework as a satisfying form of procrastination.

anyway, i thought i would share my promised bali photos as i got them developed a while ago! i'm rather "meh" about the results though, because they were all a little dark. i think it's time i invest in a  more decent film camera or at least a flash, it's quite a pain compromising good photos just because those moments happened to be indoors!

☼ enjoy  ☼

we did lots of really fun stuff (the usual annual things) but what was different this time was my chance to go scuba diving! i was really excited for this - i've never been before, but oh goodness, i got really sea sick and almost vomitted on the way back to shore. one thing that really struck me this trip was the fact that the ocean is just such a large gargantuan mass of water, and it's pretty scary. to be stuck in the waves, or lost in the middle of the sea... that just terrifies me. the waves are so powerful and they really really show just how mighty nature can be. (i really do hope i'm not establishing a kind of ocean phobia for myself right now)

well, hope you enjoyed having a little glimpse of my trip about two months back (boy, time does pass too fast).
also, a great big fat thank you to S. of the blog "as far as the eye can see" for nominating my blog for the liebster award - i am really so honoured! such a lovely surprise to see when i finally logged onto my account after a month of stagnancy. i did a post on this previously, so if you'd like to take a look at that, it's here.

have a great weekend!
(now back to homework)

Waves: Bali Day Two

Caramelised waffles and bananas
Breakfast buffet
Lunch at Naughty Nuri's - their ribs are one of the best!

Summertime Sadness: Bali Day One

High tide today didn't let me go and play out in the beach and the pool for long! :-(
Strawberry mocktails and mess

Interesting fruit sushi combination

Today was really exciting, though tiring because I slept at four in the morning last night due to excitement and good movie plots (was in the midst of finishing up The King's Speech). My entire plane ride entertainment was non-existant seeing that I slept through it, and the tide was too high to let us swim. But the place is really nice, and it's really good to finally be able to take time and spend it with my family!
Here's to a good day tomorrow as well, hope everyone's having a great holiday as well!

Wanderlust

Three weeks ago, I went to Bali for a holiday! We stayed in Ubud, and it was wonderful - the weather, the food, the architecture, the culture, the scenery, everything.
Here are some photos from my trip (quite a lot, so sorry in advance!), enjoy!
Lemon Squash (with crushed ice) on a hot afternoon after trekking to the top of the paddy fields to Sari Organic.

Our lovely villa



Orchids in full bloom

What Bali is notoriously famous for

You practically start living on this in such sunny weather






Ubud is known to be Bali's centre of arts and culture 











A little kitten paid us a visit! 



Relaxing by the poolside



Isn't the hotel so much like a paradise?

The route to our villa

These are actually used to keep cockerels for cock fights. The hotel used them as decoration though!



Sorry for the long overdue blogpost on my trip. Really excited because I'll be flying off the Hong Kong this Friday - hopefully I'll have more photographs to share with you! Hope you enjoyed seeing a glimpse of my trip to Bali :-)
Have a lovely, happy summer!
