Life has been hectic after the holiday to... BALI! It was an awesome trip, second only to Vietnam. Aside from Bali, we also made a side trip to the Gili Islands, which consists of Gili Trawangan (the biggest and most party-like), Gili Meno (the spot for honeymooners) and Gili Air (what's there? Didn't go!).
Mainland Bali was fun-filled and packed with activities like horse riding, white water rafting, spa, seafood dinner etc. In contract, Gili Meno was so slow and leisurely, with the only thing you have to do being nothing. Everyday felt so relaxed, lounging around in the shade provided by attap huts, reading a good novel while sipping on the refreshing fruit juice; or renting a snorkel and fins and exploring the pristine waters off the island. The most exciting thing about snorkelling was that we saw little nemos peeking out of the anemone - they were absolutely adorable! And the other adventure and near-mishap was the panicking incident in the water, when we surfaced at a particularly deep area and I realised I couldn't tread water with the fins on. I felt like I was damn close to drowning. That aside, snorkelling is really fun and I wish Singapore had waters like that too.
I'm glad we went to Meno and had a good break from the hustle and bustle of city life. It was probably one of the rare times when I didn't wish that I could stay longer, or feel unwilling to go home. I came back to work all refreshed, and now I'm looking forward to my next holiday after Bangkok!
Maybe Korea, Taiwan or New Zealand...? :D
