Bali, last bit
“Let’s just spend all our rupiahs, YEAHHH” – We had lunch at Havana Club before our evening flight back home.
Mandatory souvenir to take home, the beer t-shirt
Can’t pretend it hasn’t been gloomy here. I miss my friends!
Someone commented hoping I had some photos of food from Bali, I’m sorry I didn’t take some, I was perpetually hungry and gobbled gobbled away all the time! But I have started documenting the juices I make everyday now – new blender syndrome – so hopefully that turns out interesting. And soups, juices and soups.
G’weekend folks, hug somebody!

Bali, part two
This bunch is a mix of day one and day two. We went surfing on day two which I was the most nervous about. I love the sea and I’m a pretty good swimmer but I don’t like idea of me rolling with the waves very much. While I survived it and managed to stand steadily once!, my instructor actually said I suck at it which means a lot to me, him being so comfortable to speak his mind within the span of an hour. Memorable stuff.
These two photos were taken at the very beautiful Hotel Ayana. We travelled deep into Jimbaran with grand plans of watching the sun set at Rock Bar (check out both links for better photos). But we got there too late and the bar was too packed.
As I previously mentioned, we ended each day with a dip in the pool.
Setting out for a dinner at a five year old’s birthday party (friend’s friend’s daughter if you’re wondering)
This little girl gave me beef for sneaking a shot of her topless, she had every right tho!
We proceeded to get slightly buzzed at the kid’s party which is terrible of us but once again, memorable stuff!

Twigs+leaves
I had some pictures involving these twigs and leaves on the blog before, those were taken during the making process. I’ve finally finished them and they’re now available in my etsy store.
The idea behind it was initially to create a decorative piece that would have movement to it. I wish I could for the life of me remember the exact point in which this idea was conceived though it definitely was a mish mash of several things I was inspired back in November combined with the origami leaves I was already making. Essentially, they’re made out of real twigs, origami leaves, string, beads and some hemp. I kinda do really love them and felt a sense of achievement when I finally figured my way around executing the exact idea I grew in my head (I, for one, don’t always succeed in that area).
I could go on talking about them forever but I’ll shush now. Do let me know your thoughts your feelings anything in your comments? Would love and appreciate that. And oh, clicking on the images will take you to the etsy listing!

4 girls, 2 kids
As promised! I only took one roll of film and used up an underwater camera though, so there will probably be enough for two more posts. Six of us went up to Bali to celebrate my good friend, Farah’s, 25th birthday. It was pretty epic, we did the magic mushrooms, we surfed, we thought we were gonna die when we heard the tsunami alert and we slept under the stars. Well while I failed to capture the fun moments, I did manage some shots I’ll remember for life I think.
My heart goes out to anyone who has been affected by the damage in Chile.
First morning at the beach, dead fish lined the shore, welcome to Bali!
We played A LOT of bridge, almost everywhere we went
A bowl of Bakso for lunch – noodles, meatballs, crunchy something
Sambal chilli for those who can
Legian – shops with air conditioning, yessss!
The lady we bought our drinking water from
And we always end the day with a dip in the pool.
