LOVE SPEAKTH NOT

LOVE SPEAKTH NOT

Love is silent
It speaketh not thro’ thy lips
For thy lips expresseth not to its heart’s content
It is not valuable
Concealed in thy heart of hearts
Where no one sees now hears
But maybe thro;’ the beat of thy heart
Where no one but the beholders
Knows thy secret
For thy heart keepeth secrets best
Such love that I do bestow my honey.

Not declarations of love
For when doth love speaketh?
Such empty words that deceiveth thy wit
That drowns thy gullible mind
Such futile promises that are never fulfilled
That mars love true beauty
For such arewords capable
To thind thy naked eye
That sees not thy quiet heart
Gifts are but strapped in paper
Beautifully patterned to blue thy vision
Thy display of love are but ornaments
Ornaments that mayst one day wear off.

But true love lasteth where thy eyes do never see
Love that maintains its unfaching beauty
Such love I bare to my honey
Love that whispers not for thy ears to hear
Love that now schoes treble soft
For love is silent in thy heart.


THE CORAL
From Korallen by Katarina Frostenson, poet and member of the Swedish Academy.

The sighing of the first dies away in the dark;

A language rises there and drifts off, close to sleep.

It moves like the speaker, among the trunks and the murmuring.

You that walk by day or night you wander between the trees.

Be not masterful I follow in your footsteps.

Smile you are at BALI

I always heard people talking about Bali. Like it is heaven on earth, fantastic destination for holiday and etc. I didn't know how true it was until I was there........

(Bali Airport)

Left Jakarta around 4pm in the afternoon. When I reach Bali it is around 6something in the evening. (Note that the time difference between Jakarta and Singapore is 1 hour.) Astani's sister came to pick us up at the airport. After dropping our bags in the hotel, her driver sent us to a restaurant for dinner and right after that, we went clubbing.... hurray Friday night!

Clubbers r watching d band from front & behind Fantastic Visual in M Bar Go!


Guess who I met in Skygarden? My agent! There are organizing Visa's Conference in Bali.

Check this out! Makes me and the others laugh like crazy!!!!


Near the clubbing spot, there's a memoriam for the bloody October 2002 where terrorist bomb a famous club in Bali. As you can see there are so many victims and until now, people are still coming here to pray for the scarified souls.....



On the Second day, Roy and I went sightseeing ourself as our friends are busy with work. For your information, Balinese work 7 days a week and they feel like holidaying while working as the lifestyle over there is super relaxing. Look at the fantastic sea view where we had our lunch.



That evening, Roy and I hired a taxi to bring us to Ulu Watu to watch sunset and Kecak Dance.
What a waste that on the way, traffic was pretty bad and by the time we reach there, the sun has gone to his "dreamland".... sigh!



After Kecak Dance, the driver drove us to a seafood restaurant which is famous for beach dining.

Sambal and Steam Crab Cabai Burung and Garlic Grilled Fish

Grilled Balinese Squid, Prawns and Mussels.

And a fresh coconut...of course,yummy

I am not sure why all the waiter and event the band thought Roy and I are on a honey moon trip. The lead singer even ask Roy to propose to me....haha.... no choice lo... have to act like a couple for their sake......

After the dinner I was so full went strolling on the sea side, hoping that it will be me in digestion.


After dinner, the driver drop us at a night spot area - Double O. We both ended clubbing for the whole night long and when we are too exhausted to move anymore, we lie down on the beach and wait for sunrise.....




Children "asking" for donation (food and money)

Men with his dogs.... what a relaxing lifestyle tourist are having....

In the morning, our tour guide came over to pick us up at the sea side and off we go for a one day trip in Bali Island. The first destination is to watch Barong Dance Performance. The usher gave me a flower. Cute.....Check out the Barong Dance Video below:



Continue our journey in exploring Bali.....





Had lunch in a pretty special place - Paddy Field! To alot of people Paddy field is special, but for a Malaysian like me, I grew up in this environment. And the so call Crispy Duck is so expensive and I personally feel the quality of the food is really so so only. The lunch set cost around SGD$25 dollars! Mad!



Stone Toilet? I am sure this is rare right? Anyway I'd really enjoy my holiday in Bali. Bali is absolutely heaven on earth. Hopefully I can travel to Bali again..... tomorrow? Haha.......
