My last full day in Bali before i fly off tomorrow. I thought I should talk a bit about my bargained accommodation. Like I mentioned earlier, it cost only RP180,000 per night and it comes with breakfast. The room is not very posh but it comes with an ensuite bathroom. It doesn’t comes with water heater...
Nothing much happening today, other than watching some pro surfing and finding a nice spot to chill and relax for the rest of the day. This is what vacation is all about!
When you’re at the same place for more than 5 days, everything just started to settle down like a norm. I woke up earlier to go for a surf. Surf wasn’t as good as the other day. The waves were just closing up as soon as they started to break. The rest of the day was just spent walking around Kuta,...
Woke up extremely early in the morning and head out to Canggu beach for some early chill-lax time. I have planned out to do a long ride out from Kuta to Tanah Lot today. So Canggu is my pit stop before I continue on my journey. The scenery just got nicer as I was moving further away from the party town of...
Woke up kinda late today, at almost 10am. Well, I’m on holiday, so not pressing for time at all. That’s the luxury of a true breakaway. And as planned, getting myself ready to go surfing. But first, the board needed a good coat of wax. Then it was a long walk through the Poppies Lane to the beach with...
Ever seen how a quiet early morning Poppies Lane II looks like in Kuta? A typical backpackers and party goers town with many souls are either still asleep or having hang over from the night before. However, the beach is already abuzz with many people who don’t go out party at night, including many...
It’s a beautiful morning at Kuta. Well…. waking up at a place away from home is always refreshing. Because it’s been working non-stop since December, I didn’t want to stay around Kuta and decided to head north towards Seminyak area, hoping to look for a quieter beach and town. It was a wise choice...
Hello Bali again! Touched down at Bali this afternoon, and it felt great! This is my second time to Bali, and I’ve made advance arrangement with my trusted local Balinese friend, Froggy, to arrange transport and accommodation for me. Arrived in the afternoon, so first stop was to go for lunch. Froggy...
I was born on the 12th day of Oct; this year is the year of 2 thousand and 12….. 12 can means many things to many people, including me. But what makes the 12 special this time is, I’m going to attempt my 12th full marathon run! I still remember how I started running 6 years ago, when I was...
So, my mobile phone decided to retire 3 weeks ago, and I’ve been without a phone for that long since. Felt as though I’m so disconnected from the world. No longer contactable anywhere, anytime, no more whatsapp and facebook. Back to the life of pre-mobile phone era…. I’m glad that there’s en...
Today, I’ve upgraded my status. No, not the Single/in relationship sort, but have turned from a marathoner to Duathlete! There’s a series of duathlon races being put up for the 3-week back-to-back weekend. Only short courses category is available, and mainly targeted for the university students. I’ve...
Just bought a pair of cycling shoes and cleat pedals. Both from Shimano. It’s time to paddle right! Now, what else do I need for the bike……. hmmm……
It’s my second lesson at National Aquatic Centre@Bukit Jalil for TI Level 1 today. Back in lesson one, we were taught on how glide thru the water. Today’s lesson, we learnt about how to skate and basic hand recovery. There’s so much of coordination for the mind to put everything together. But I do...
Part of my journey towards triathlon this year, I’ve just signed up for Total Immersion Swimming Course. It’s a course that supposed to fine tune your free stroke into more efficient, especially useful if you use it during triathlon race. I read that during this course, they will break down my steps...
It’s an unscheduled public holiday today, to commemorate the installation of new King of Malaysia. I’m glad that it falls on a Wednesday, so that I can have a little breather during the mid week. I was just chilling at home the whole afternoon, after my long bike ride in the morning. Taking advantage...
Here’s a simple easy-to-make salad for my quick dinner! Mixed lettuce with wild rockets, tomatoes, black olives, Italian salad dressing, balsamic vinegar. (optional: top with some shredded cheddar cheese.) Light but full with nutrition. Definitely a healthier choice!
It’s that time of the year again, where in Chinese culture, we go to visit our deceased family member’s grave to pay homage and to remember out root. Or better known as 清明节. My parents always thought me that although being a Christian, we’re not supposed to pray to our ancestors, but we should...
This is it! Finally got my bike today! A bit of drama today. Firstly went to get my helmet from Specialize. Then went to Merida to get my bike, but the stoke was out, so luckily new stoke will be in later in the evening. So ended up with 4-5 hours to kill in between. But the wait was worth it! The...
I’ve decided it’s time to take my aspiration of getting into triathlon seriously this year. Main reason is marathon is getting really crowded these days. I’m glad that there’re more and more people taking up running, but runners with bad race-day etiquette are just so annoying. So, the solution….
Dropped in to Tesco after dinner today and saw that they were having promotion for Dorset Cereal, 2 for price of one at RM18.90. Now I’ve gotten my healthy morning breakfast fix for a bargain!
