Our Groovy Getaway
Some say it resembles the richness of the art and culture. Others may say it simply a relaxing paradise island. But the Bali Beauty in my definition is one of the grooviest getaways I ever had in years.
While gathering my thoughts at this moment, I smile to see the lovely sun shining down on me while the breezy wind slapping my round face. It just feels so right from where I am now. The rooftop of Mercure, in the infinity pool overlooking the splendid view of the Kuta beach just takes my breath away. It is amazing to see God’s Creation, remarkably especially through the beetled sunglass, which rested firmly on my flat nose. Wow, feels great after a stretchable swim leaving a tint of sun tanning all over my skin. An afternoon swim, while enjoying the freshness of the air and sipping a hot Indonesian ginger tea just made my day more enjoyable.
My mind flashed back to the mind blowing Ku De Ta, where Fen & Frans brought us yesterday. It is just spectacular. My closest comparison to it is our KL-Lunar Bar over looking the metropolitan of KL, minus the city, the open-air swimming pool. It is a lot bigger and classier in space with an ambience, out of this world. What amazes me most is the cosy setting giving a full view of the endless ocean. Dusk is the best! Just darkness, highlighted with a romantic lighting of the candles was simply elegant. Looking around the ambience of Ku De Ta, I was mesmerized of the complete feeling of the presence of my love ones – Halmi, who was so engrossed in his video clipping of the sunset and of course, the newly weds, who were all over each other, snapping pictures on their honeymoon. I come to realised I am so blessed to have my best friend, the blonde-haired Indonesian girl, with us. I truly missed this missy with “penguin feet”, who I haven’t seen over a year. All those wonderful memories of the joy and laughter, the growing pains we went through together just submerged back in my mind from Sunway to the Melbourne days. Time flies. We are now grown adults and happily married after 10 good years of friendship. And, what amuses me is that she just has not changed a bit, loud, exposed (checkout her boobs, hehe) and is crazy as ever! Smiling to myself while being watched by my hubby from a far, he knew what was on my mind.
Halmi thought Bali was exactly a replica of Hawaii. The breezy fresh cooling air from the winter from Australia transported us to a new laid-back environment. It seems like a disease that has spread all around Kuta at being a beach bummer. We were completely stress and worry-free, and the sound of the waves splashing the beach shore brought my attention to the mushroomed tourists on Kuta beach. It is lovely to see the smiles and the eagerness of these bule (kui lo / Mat Salleh) at learning how to surf from where I was standing, especially with the fluctuation of the rhythmic waves. I gather this is an excellent hobby to go body boarding, what more surfboarding. Drifting again, my mind went back to the moment we stepped down at Denpasar 3 nights ago. The excitement and hope we had in our eyes were far more than what we expected.
My imagination just vanished as the mobile phone rang. Halmi and I looked at each other and laughed. It was the infamous loud, crazy outspoken Fen! Halmi and I agreed that first phone call from her 3 days ago was the beginning of our groovy getaway.
