Bali Bombing Monument at Legian-Kuta

One of the places that we visited is the Monument of the Bali bombing in year 2002. It was buit at the bombing site , Paddy Club and Sari club. This is the monument.

This vacant plot of land is on the next to the Monument. Surrounding this plot of vacant land is busy shops. According to our Guide, the owner does not wish to built anything on the land after it was destroyed in the bombing.

This Star shaped design is build as another remembrance of the bombing. The bomb explode there. Killing many people.

The Monument is made of intristically carved stone. A lot of Bali influence in the carving. On the stab of stone are the names of those killed.

Sad to see so many names there. Many of them are locals name too.

There is a small fountain right in front of the names plate and we were told opposite of it was the former Paddy's Club.

Bali is recovering from the incident. It seems that the subject is a taboo(pantang) there. In the course of "forgetting", I think they have also forgotten to clean the fountain. There is a thick layer of green slime there.

Flower on the pavement!

Uiks! Flower basket on the pavement. Who has been littering? Saw it in front of nearly every shops at Kuta, Bali.

What a waste? Why did the people put the basket on the pavement? The basket looks like is weave from Coconut or pandan leaf. In it, there are some flowers, food and joss-stick.

Later, our tour guide informed us that the shop-keeper pray 3 times a day; morning, noon and before the sun set. They will put offering to appease the God in front of their shop in the form of these basket.

Wow! though the flowers aren't the expensive type. Can be found at the road side or anyones backyard, the way they arrange the flowers and titbits are really creative. Each basket is different. Amazing.

Flood!

This morning I was happily going about my business. Got down from LRT at Dang Wangi station. Walking towards Wilayah Complex.

Just imagine by being confronted with the this!!!

And this ...And this!!???

Mud! Mud! Mud everywhere...mud fill Wilayah Complex area and the shops nearby.

A staff from an insurance company nearby lamented that the computers in his office are to be written-off as have been submerged under water

When I arrive to my hme sweet home, only did I know that yesterdayrain had caused one of the worst flood in the KL City Center.

Babi Guling at Ubud, Bali

It seems that this stall is very famous in Ubud. Located just opposite the "pasar". It's barely 11am, and many people are Q-ing up for their share of "Babi Guling".We had to wait quite some time before getting a seat.

Tatatataaaa~ the arrival of the "Guest of Honour". The "Babi Guling"







Saliva dripping onlookers are waiting for their order.







This strong lady managed to chop off the "babi" head at a single blow. Fuiyo! I wouldn't dare to cross her.






Add a little bit of this, and a little bit of that....

and tatatadummmm~...here is your "babi Guling Rice". Crunchy skin and tender meat with some other stuffs. Be careful. It's very very HOT

Want To Die. Go elsewhere-lah!

These image were captured on 27th May 2007, 12.30pm. On the road/highway going from PJ to Sunway/Federal Highway.

There were 5 motobikes. Fooling around in the middle of the road. Two were using their leg to push the one infront.

At a glance, thought the front motorbike have konk-out. Thus need to be "push".

After the toll, I actually discovered that the motorbike is alright. No engine problem.

Just some stupid fella fooling around on the road. Wonder where they got their licence(if they have any)?

If wanna die, got elsewhere-lah. On the road, should a car hit them, the car would be at fault eventhough they are the ones fooling around. There is a chinese saying "if want to die, don't trouble the neighbours!"

Nice view

I went for a holiday recently.

The hotel have a very nice view from the balcony of it's lobby.

Who can resist snapping some photos? Here is one of the tourist snapping photos from the balcony

Not only it's a nice view from the balcony. It's also nice view from the greenish blue sofa.

Unwittingly, she has also "accorded" some "view" for those sitting below should they glance up to the balcony. Aiyo! Ah Moi...next time watch where you stand-lah
