Carrying on... How's everybody's day? Mine started off not so good *___*. I woke up very groggily from all of the cough medication my hunny kept on shoving my way *arghhh i think those meds are causing me heatiness now! My lower lip's cracked, super painful!!! I almost never experience cracked lips before hikhik* but i already missed a yoga class yesterday so i really wanted to go for hot exercise, so i crawled into the bathroom and got ready, and then we got stuck really BAD in a horrid traffic jam!
WTF -____-. I feel like we've been transported to Jakarta suddenly. Stupid people only start working on the drainage culverts once the rainy season's on full blown! &%^@&*%&*%#! I was super duper annoyed!!! Decided to make a *very hard to do as well coz all the close by area were jammed* U turn and go back home because we're only halfway there and it was passed the starting hour for the class already.
Had i insisted on going we'd probably arrive more than halfway through the class. One class costs around IDR 57.500 okay, why would i want to pay so much for a few minutes (the class is only 1 hour long) of exercise??? Okay lah i'm stingy, but really, what's the point??? Very grumpy because i could've spent the 45 minutes we spent being stuck in the stupid jam sleeping -___-. Yeah, i napped already so i'm feeling better now, but that's 45 minutes of my life i will never get back!!! *Dramatic* *dramatic* *sorry ah i think i'm PMSing hard time*.
I notice i ramble on a lot more around my PMS. Haih. (I wrote this earlier in the afternoon, mood's now 100% improved after going for a weekly movie date with hunny *watched a Chinese movie, The Four 2 which was pretty awesome, much better than the first installment!*, have a long-craved for steak dinner *it was cold and not as nice as how the restaurant's standard usually, but it wasn't horrible and we had the nicest waitress and it curbed my meat-crave for now so all's good* and followed by more cropped tops shopping at Magnolia. Sigh to more shopping-two packages from online shops also just arrived :p-but it made my day ahahaha). Okay lah, enough already :D, let's continue one our Bali Getaway Part 2!
Went to Tanah Lot after Pura Ulun Danu Bratan |
We anyhow go there because hunny Googled and people usually recommend going to Tanah Lot after Bedugul (it's pretty much the right way to go back to Nusa Dua, i might be wrong because i'm horrible with directions :p). When we almost reached Tanah Lot (it was 5.30 or so already), hunny was like "Errr, i dunno if the place's still open or not lo, it might close already when we reached". WTH right, why he only said that then???
I immediately Googled and thankfully Tanah Lot's management's been extending their opening hours until pretty late in the evening and even started holding Kecak Dance performances there (you need to pay more to watch it though, i don't remember how much but it was pretty expensive for local standard), so phewwwww!!! We only arrived just a few minutes shy of 6 O'clock but it was still pretty light.
Like Jakarta, i find the sun sets later in Bali than in Surabaya. You know, in Surabaya at 6 o'clock confirm to be very dark already. Why am i writing in Singlish? #slapsself. I watched too many of XiaXue's Guide to Life earlier when i was putting newly washed clothes in my closet *i really really hate doing it and always postponing until i'll have like, 5 or 6 baskets containing super high piles of clothes FML, at the same time i also do not want the maids to do it because i will never ever find what i'm looking for if they do, and i also dislike people rummaging through my wardrobe zzz* and i tend to pick Singlish back up right away. Oh i can speak Singlish like a true blue Singaporean hahahaha. #Undecided hates that very much.
Oh yeah, if you noticed my legs (from the part 1 too) looking huge in the pictures, that's not how my legs really are normally okay! I somehow always suffer from excessive bloating *mainly on my legs and fingers* after a flight. Yes, even after only 55 minutes of flying evidently! FML. That's why lots of my trip pictures showed me with super fat legs. WTF.

Hai! Welcome to Tanah Lot! |
I super like this picture even though it was blurry, so cute! |
Almost there |
The sun started to go down already, that's why it's getting dark in the pictures as well :) |
It was when the tide was really low and you can actually explore much further than usual |
Look at the craters :D |
Baby Boy spotted that rock and started to insist on going to "the ship" |
Baby Boy was pretty disappointed when he realized that the "ship" was not enter-able hahaha |
Ta-dahhh! |
So serious, wonder what he was thinking about? |
Of course, i went to panic mode again and screamed to hunny to hold him tightly -___-. I annoy myself sometimes |
Then soon it was very very dark and time for us to head back! On the way in i saw some souvenir shops that were having a sale and we stopped by one to check it out. Nothing much to see, we ended up buying snacks (and Baby Boy insisted on buying a key chain, i had to steer him away from the fugly and way overpriced pirate skull one and made him chose a more special one. It was a komodo dragon in the end if i'm not mistaken), oh did i say that i bought only one dress in Bali? I did, but for once i was actually attracted to a Barong loose tee (not made from your usual cotton tee material but from very thin, cooling and comfortable tye dye cloth)-it something that is very quintessentially Bali-to wear at home. I was never ever interested in house wear before, is it another sign of aging?
Oh, also watched people bickered because a local woman was trying to cut the cashier line *giggles*. A foreigner actually addressed her first saying "Excuse me? The line's over here." (she was standing at the wrong end of the line, like waiting for a chance to cut in) but she pretty much ignored him. Then a brave auntie started screeching at her *giggling some more gleefully, i am happy not having to be the loud bitch for once!*. The lady tried to argue by telling the cashier she's been queuing for a long time (still ignoring the auntie), then the auntie cut her off "Hey, we've been here before you! WE've also been queuing for a long time already!". Then the manner less woman scurried off to the back of the lane mumbling unhappily. My hunny's such a perfect gentleman, he actually let her queue in front of him (because she already queue-at the wrong end!-before him). I would never do the same.

While daddy was busy browsing the store, Baby Boy cam-whored |
