Cherating... and Bali again!

Imagine this. A thirty plus makcik with a miserable looking hair; tied loosely with most of her hair strands sticking out rather than being held in place. The oily face dull without any lipstick on. She wears her usual t-shirt and pants; both had been used over their life span. Boleh imagine? That's me; dengan rupa yang sangat tak menyelerakan; desperately longing for another vacation...hahhaa. Sangat tak sedar diri, kan?


I went to Cherating with my parents and adik lelaki. The trip was supposed to be with PK, tapi disebabkan pompuan itu masih berpoya2 kat obersi nun, maka automatically kupon hotel tu bertukar hak milik...haha.

Apa lagi yang lebih best selain dari kopi Haipeng. That's the main reason of the visit anyway. Dah lama sangat mengidam nak minum kat haipeng ni. I also went to 'Bulan'...tapi kan PK, tutup! Cehh...sampai hati dia tutup. We end up having dinner kat kedai ntahapa2 je, and went to bed early. Sangat2 tak best. There's nothing much to do at the beach, walaupun berkali2 kitorang round kat pantai cherating tu. Musim ombak tengah tinggi. Even tak tinggi pun, i never planned to mandi manda anyway. Nothing much memorable about the trip. Is it because i was with my parents? Tak jugak...although i admit that i would've been on a different holiday mood dengan different company. Is it because the trip was too short? Tak jugak kot...sebab other than haipeng, i seriously do not have any specific plans. But we went until kuala kemaman, beli kopok bagai and lalu kuantan on the way back to KL sebab CikguMat nak cari benda2 kereta dia.


The only reason i can think about is... kepala ni asyik ingat Bali lagi kot. Now i understand what PK had said before about being in another place after spending your time at Bali. You tend to carry the same mood, but somehow your expectation will be too high...that sort of feeling. ishhh...susah nak explain. Different people would have different opinion about that place. I have few friends who didn't even enjoy their trip to Bali. I'd like to think that i'm such a lucky person to have that wonderful experience. And i'm pretty sure that my travel companions pun share that same feelings. ohhh...my ♥ is still in Bali!


p/s : sesapa nak pegi Bali beli la lulur dia...best ;P

Bali

I was a little bit skeptic when the time came for me to go to Bali. Not because of the place, but because of the company. One person whom i've known for few years, but without any experience pergi bercuti2; and another person whom i've never met and have not even talk over the phone whatsoever. Surprisingly, i got along well with the 'stranger', instead of my own friend who at times seems very clingy and most of the time have different taste and opinion.


I am very particular with whom i spend my time with. I don't just randomly go out with anyone, especially to spend few days with that person. PK had always been my travel mate all this while. Sekarang adalah sangat sukar nak bercuti bersama2 since we had our own FCs to worry about. Especially me. So, I had to find other alternatives nowadays...and, bringing all the FCs is not an alternative ye.


Bali was really wonderful. I have nothing but good memories about the place. The culture, people and wonderful architecture amazed me. I knew right from the beginning that it's worth arguing with my friend about the tour guide. Never mind tak pernah pergi, but, at least listen to someone (yang jugak tak pernah pergi!) albeit your friend ni sorang pompuan yang nampak gaya macam tak tau apa2... but hey, perempuan ni rajin baca review, forum bagai tau! So, that's the stress all about before going. Luckily it ended and was left behind at the airport.


The days were spent dengan jayanya. The moment that 'stranger' stepped into the car on the first day was the first time we met and talk... and, we were no more stranger after that. Infact i was lucky that that there were three of us instead of two. I sendiri pun heran macamana kepala kitorang boleh sama. We had brunch at Mekdi, bought DankinDonat, spent time at kedaiBatuKeras, had same taste over paintings & carvings ...and neither one was of my friend's interest. That 'stranger' really saved my holiday.


I've uploaded some photos to my flickr. Nak tengok carik la seniri ye. I'm certainly going there again. I've pictured myself ambik cuti sebulan & spend my days over there; of course without any worries about the FCs...hmmmm. I truly love that place!
