• Before the summer holidays began we moved apartments from our downtown Al Serkal Towers building to uptown Guardian Towers. Sometime in March, R and I decided that we would move in together since we were always together anyway and spending the nights at one or the other apartment all the time. Since I have had roommates from the beginning, I moved to his place and continued to open my apartment up to guests.…

  • _Hello Kitty Must Die_ by Angela S Choi So, the cliche saying of “Don’t judge a book by its cover” could also apply to book titles. However, when I was searching for something new to read on my iPad Kindle, I came across this title a few times. I could relate because the sickening expansion of Hello Kitty around the world makes me a bit nauseous. Thus in my quest to force myself…

  • It seems weird to write about normal life, but after getting in the habit of writing daily about my days, I guess it is easy enough to just carry on as usual. 🙂 My flights from Bangkok to Manila to Abu Dhabi were relatively easy – as easy as traveling for an entire day can be. I arrived late at the airport and got out pretty quickly, but was quickly given a proper…

  • _Now You See Her_ by James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge While I was hesitant to read another Patterson book so soon after my last one, I was looking for a quick read for the plane rides on my way back home. This one was a quick read, which I finished in one day due to a sleepless night before my second day of traveling. The main character runs from her past in Florida…

  • _The Plague_ by Albert Camus Albert Camus (pronounced ca-moo and not cay-mus as I would like to say it) is an interesting author from Algeria. He wrote _The Stranger_ (published 1946), which I read quite a few years ago after my college friends gave it to me as a gift. I hadn’t heard of him before, but I remember enjoying the book, though I can’t currently recall the story. When I came across…

  • Well, our last day was spent relaxing with final massages, errands, etc. Overall, we had a really lovely time in Bali and were sad to see the time come to an end. The return journey took us back to Jakarta on our way to Bangkok. I headed back to Abu Dhabi from there. Here are the last pics from our trip. Back to ‘normal’ posting after this. 🙂 [sthumbs=4205|4206|4207|4208|4209|4210|4211|4212|4213|4214|4215|4216|4217|4218|4219|4220|4221|4222|4223,max,3,y,center,]

  • Hardly worth posting for today, but a little something is better than nothing they say in the blogging world… 😀 The best part of the day was getting massages – about USD6 for an hour – at the first place we went to when we arrived. They were the best. After that was dinner at our Chinese food haunt (surprisingly no food photos this time!) and dessert at: [simage=4204,200,n,center,] Don’t ask why this…

  • A lazy day mostly by the pool – [sthumbs=4181|4182|4183|4184|4185|4186|4187|4188|4189|4190|4191|4192,max,3,n,center,] Later we went out. R got another tattoo done (no pic yet) and I did some shopping. Then, we went for some food and a ride around – [sthumbs=4193|4194|4195|4196|4197|4198|4199|4200|4201|4202|4203,max,3,n,center,] A good day! 😀

  • Time is going so quickly now. It’s another Friday in Bali and just a few more days left before we leave…. We just relaxed most of the day and then went in for some pampering. R did some ear candling to take the wax out of his ear. It was weird to see it happening! [simage=4175,200,n,center,] I got my mani-pedi done with a bright color to remind myself I am still on holiday…
