No particular reason for taking these photos, just felt like it and like it so I took it. These photos are just “so happened to be”. So this is this, this is what it is. Eh, machiam tongue twister…:P

A little help from nature definitely make things more romantic.
Before I headed for Bali, even for the first time, I heard about the sunsets in Kuta beach. I didn't see it during last December, the entire place was overcast for the whole trip. This time round, I confirm the information was right. Beautiful sunsets almost everyday.
Sunset by the beach is just a stone's throw away from the hotels that lined the streets of Kuta and Legian. The beach is packed with people once again.
The sun sits on the horizon. A sight that is so rare, if not impossible in my country. A pair of kayak-ers drift beyond the breaks to catch a better, perhaps bigger sun, while I made the best out of what I had in hand.
Condolences poured in as Bali mourn the deaths of the victims of the 2002 bombings. Paddy's Pub opened a new joint a few blocks down the street, a sign that the Balinese will not bow to acts of terrorism. The increased tourism says it all.
The former Paddy's Pub, site of the 2002 Bali bombing remains unoccupied. A grim reminder of the disaster and also a sign of respect for the departed.
Finally got some connectivity in Bali. I resisted any form of connection till today. Well, I'm on a 9pm flight back, which leaves me with approximately 5 hours before I have to head for the airport from Kuta.
The trip went well, we had plenty of good food. Mentally rested, but not enough. Physically tired from all the surfing and beach activities during the initial part of the trip. But I'm happy with the tan I got though:)
I'm looking forward to go back and finish up where I left off. 1 week in Bali certainly is not enough, but like those quick charge battery chargers, it will last me for a while before I need another break again.
I hope I’ll be able to catch another sunset this evening at Kuta before I head back. Here's one I took on the 2nd day of the trip.
