Bali

I hate it when I don't have my own laptop and program to write my blogs (I use Window's Live Writer). Its difficult to get the setting right on blogger.

But anyway, lets talk about Bali. Been there last month. Sanur beach was very pretty looking.

However, Sanur Beach in Bali was full of seaweed when I was there. A pretty beach to look at, but not a great beach to go swimming.

A close up on the seaweed - when its still green, as most were brown and a bit icky. Becareful, you can get some caught in your swimwear!

But I still love Bali. Its unique culture. Unique animals - like this Balinese cows with white backside.

And there was a ceremony, called Kuningan (though I doubt if it has anything to do with Yellow-ing). They're always having different ceremonies all the time. Its easy to catch one while travelling around Bali.

Here's my offering...

Visa for Travels

I count myself lucky to have a Malaysian passport. There are many places we can go without getting a visa. Westerners who come to Asia must apply for visa to enter many different Asian countries, but for Malaysian, its easy. I used to brag about it...

Until... I needed one for Japan!

Not only do I need one to visit Japan, I could only get it from KL! Nope, cant get it from Bangkok. And my Malaysian embassy wouldn't help either. So, I had to rush back to KL to get one, get my ass back to Bangkok and then leave for Japan... phew! Lesson learnt.

Anyway, for other Malaysians, please check here first when planning your journey!

When is my Laptop coming back?

I'm starting to miss my laptop already. It's still in the repair shop. And I'm still deciding if I should get it fixed, or get a new one...

Meanwhile, I'll try to sneak in a post or two while at work... hehehe

State of Emergency in Bangkok!!

Nah... don't worry too much about it. It just sounds worse than it seems. If no one told me this morning, I wouldn't even know it. Still had to work today!


If you read about it: The emergency decree signed by Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej empowered the army to restore order with the assistance of police. The Star

The prime minister also issued another order prohibiting assembly of more than five people, publication of news which may cause panic or distort facts affecting law and order, and use of buildings or vehicles as specified by the army chief. People are subject to be moved out of certain areas as ordered by the army chief. Bangkok Post


I even wrote to update The Star - as a Malaysian living in central Bangkok (click here). And submitted this photo.

View from my office window. See - traffic still as normal. Except that there's a police stationed there. Though, I don't know why he was just checking on random motorbikes rather than cars.
