No more holiday in March

after a strings of public holidays, we are left with a dry month - march with no holidays. can't wait for apr to arrive. haha.

so bali was alright. lotsa aussies. you can just tell that they are aussies, no matter how they dress.

took a sq flight in the early sat morning, it was a new air craft. very roomy and nice. its the same one they launch for the non-stop to LA flight but smaller.

had a nap at the hotel room until 4 when we start our shopping spree in bali. the shops close at 10.. how nice.. ^u^

we went diving the next day.. strong current.. and i crashed into a coral without looking. we were sort of flying in the sea so fast that we dont see much of the marine life. the corals are indeed very nice.. looks unspoilt.. but with more divers going down, crashing into them, graping them for fear of being washed away, it will be quite polluted/damaged in no time.

we went back to wash up, had a nap and move out on our second shopping spree. knowing that its our last nite in bali, and probably last trip, i spent over SG$300 in beach/surf wear. Its cheaper and there's more designs of billabong, rip curl, quiksilver, rusty, roxy, stussy, mooks, etc.

some locals are very persistent to do biz w u. some are really nice and friendly. however most of the salegals i encounter w are unfriendly, lazy and they show u faces. but the guys are friendly and didn't mind making the many trips to the store room. overall, i find the locals in bali are nicer then in most places. (although they keep thinking we are japanese, indonesian.. only one got it right by speaking Mandarin to us.)

it's a short trip. not fantastic but a good break. i'm so broke that i'm sticking to my $2-lunch for as long as i can.
