It’s been a day of many last minutes. Last minute hotel booking, packing, buying stuff to bring for the trip, drive to the airport, last minute check-in (forgot which terminal… and made a wrong guess), etc. Somehow, I managed to squeeze in some calmness despite all that seemingly rushed errands. I’ve been feeling a little calmer than usual lately. Everything around me seems slow. I think, it’s a sign of ageing (I prefer to think of it as some kind of enlightenment).
As I boarded the plane, I was greeted by some very eye pleasing stewardesses:D This has got to be the best set of cabin crew I’ve seen for a long time. A very distracting flight indeed. If not for my small eyes, they’d have caught me staring. Haha! For once, I forgot to order a special meal… the food taste crappy.
After clearing the immigration, two porters saw me looking for my luggages at the carousel and carried them for me without me asking. Out of the airport, they asked for tips. I gave them 2 sg dollars for that really short distance, but he asked for more. Honestly, I didn’t like that. I don’t remember having these porters around the last time round.
On my ride to the hotel, I saw the prettiest night clouds. The moon was so bright and it lit up the edges of the clouds. Like a subtle silver lining, against a bluish grey backdrop. So capitvated by it, I stuck my head out of the window to get a better view. I hope, I’ll be in for a treat for my senses in the next few days.
I checked into The Oasis Boutique Beach Resort at Benoa. It’s on the eastern tip of Nusa Dua. It looks really pretty, especially the pool. The room is basic and clean. The beach looks pretty, with an uncluttered view of the horizon. Here’s what I did at the beach… cloning little fat-barrels:P
