valentines’ away

up up and away…greeted by clear blue sky..lovely!

shady walkway to our room…with lotsa of greenery

an afternoon of doing nothing and just gazing out into the horizon

outdoor shower, totally uninhibited

by the pool side, lazing…

trip round the island...a rather bumpy ride that lasted 40 minutes...

 

a tomorrow that will never come..

favourite thing to do on the island…doing nothing

yum yum...healthy wrap with lotsa of vege

enjoyin a bit of the sun, sand and the sea…

love this shot, one shot one kill..love the way he’s able to synchronize with moi..cam whore pro potential… 

 not a diver like me, can still charter the boat out for an afternoon fiesta

favourite dish of the trip...bbq yellow fin tuna for a mere 13 bucks

miss this little paradise…and i shall be back…

i admire people who live by this philosophy of “work hard and play hard”, and learn to do the same. my life may seem imbalanced from this perspective and to equate the two in terms of time allocation is almost impossible. instead i choose to indulge fully in each of the task at hand, giving a hundred percent of me, work or play. hence with jan being a hectic month, we took off after CNY to an island off the coast of Lombok. for a period of 7 days, i was tucked away from the wired up world, to an island where high rise buildings are of non-existence, and roads are made of mud paths and uneven concrete pavements, just enjoying the nature, the tranquility and breathing in air free from pollution, made possible with motorized vehicles banned on the island. with my mind uncluttered, and my body rested, I return refreshed and charged up, ready to give the best of me at work…that’s how I enjoy living and hoping time will slow down a little at times, if it only could…
