Back fresh from my two weeks getaway!

Despite my gallstone I am happy to say I had an enjoyable time in Bali. I was quite heavy hearted to go home only because I like what this country has to offer. The beautiful nature that you see from the mountains and the sea, the ancient culture and traditions that still lives in this peaceful community, the beautiful artwork that you see whereever you go in its simplest form or in its complicated form. The Balinese are very friendly, warm, kind, helpful people. Sure you will meet some pushy ones but these are always over-shadowed by the hospitable & attentive ones that you will eventually meet. The sunrise and the sunset whereever you may be in Bali are just breathtaking.

We decided to rent a car to drive around the island and its worth every Rupiah! My husband is a great navigator and has a good memory of where to go since he used to drive around here in our previous trip. Language is not a barrier for me as I can speak the language with some slight diffrence in words but we can still understand each other. I remember when we drove into this sort of un-tarmac road that led us to this shack. I quickly got out and ask for directions. It was not easy as the man spoke purely Balinese but thankfully with a bit of sign language between us with the way of directions I knew which way to go.  Thanks to him, we actually did find our way out to the main road eventually! Driving past by a local school surrounded by padi fields.

Unfortunately due to the scorching weather, I suffered heatstroke. A Minor one.  I was at the point of just wanting to scream hell already.

Ive taken many photos and have yet to upload them. I want to choose ones that are really worth posting here on my blog so bear with me  ^_^ i’ll do all this very very soon.

Right now I’ve got to schedule for a gallstone surgery, I cant wait! Its one pain that I wish to get rid of AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! I even asked my doctor to let me keep the cholestrol spawn, why I ask ? I dont know why ..maybe to remind me to be aware of my eating habits as from now on *shrugs*

Afer this surgery I am going to take the plunge into the river / lake / sea ..whatever to get rid of all my health bad luck for this year

Next I’ll post some photos of the places I went to in Bali.

I know, I know ..I should’ve just stick to WordPress and be patient and learn more about it but I didnt! I have no patience in certain matters. As much as I like Blogspot’s easy to use format there are some functions that I wish they could add in to their site and there are some widgets that I wish WP would one day add. Anyway so this is my new blog address cuteandcurls …and no it has nothing to do with hairstyling ^_^

I swear I have been one very good woman when it comes to taking care of my skin. I cleanser, tone, moisturise diligently! So why is my skin congested? A beautician advised me that it could be the toner that I am currently using or supplements that I am taking or hormonal?

Ok im taking Evening Primrose Oil …it cant be that and can ANYONE enlighten me about Evening Primrose Oil? Does it actually make you gain weight?! How can that be?! At the age of 34 I suppose I can be going through some hormonal changes …hmmmm! So anyway I decided to skip my toner which an ROC brand – Purif – AC and for some reason the spots have stopped and the reddishness have subside so I suppose that is IT. I guess my skin has gone sensitive ..such a shame and Ive got alot left in that toner! This is WHERE I SIMPLY HATE buying products that I have no choice but to buy the exact size because they dont HAVE any samples AND because some greedy sales woman just wants to sell the product for the commission! Damn IT! Remind me next time to be a bit more brutal with these sort of sales rep since they’re brutally persistent with me. I am not dissing ROC here but I guess the lady suggested the wrong item to me. I am using ROC 3 in 1 cleanser and so far its pretty gentle to my skin.

Now I am a very careful person when I go out and watch where I walk however …

Yesterday as I was exiting the mall, something that never happened to me ..happened and WHAT GREAT TIMING for THIS to HAPPEN! Is there some sort of weird movements in the planet that is causing me to be clumsy? I tripped as I got out of the mall and what was worse I sprained my foot in the process. It was so bad yesterday that it swelled terribly, throbbing painfully and I could not even sleep well. I never thought I’d cry as I tried to walk to my bedroom but I did as I winced in pain for every step i dragged myself to my room. My husband offered to carry me but I refused ..its enough that one person is getting injured here. Im not some 45kg woman here I could easily break his back so I hobbled like Ive never hobbled before. I hope it will subside before next Sunday as I want to be in tip top walking form for my trip!

No more mishaps PLEASE!
