21 July, a day in the pool and final shopping We skipped running this morning and playing and shoting around at the pool at Villa Seri for the morning before we checked out. Then we got transport to the Kuta Discovery Mall that's the shopping mall for the typical tourists that we believed we could buy some gifts for friends. Oh that's the mall includes everything in the street so you could walked around comfortablely with air-con, without dirt and dust! That could be the check point for our family in September, we also met some HKers there. A quick lunch at the beach front cafe, got back our luggages from Villa Seri and went to airport at 3pm, say Goodbye to Bali at 4pm and we said see you in September!

20 July, a day for surf! Today we still run, but the run along Jalan Umalas 1, with a lot of green, a lot of paddy fields! There are some Villas but some are for half year or 1 year rent, nothing cheap as Seri!! we then jump back to the pool to cool our body! refreshing! Lunch we went back to Bali Bakery Kuta, it just too good, we didn't mind to go there again!! If you don't surf, don't go to Bali, that's my belief. Kuta beach is more busy now, I rent a short board this time as it looked a lot cooler!! Frankly it was 3pm already, the wave was smaller and not moving too quick.... I went for good, but G stayed on the beach and dealing with those annoying hawkers. "No la No la" "later later" that was her words for that afternoon. There is another thing should do after the Kuta beach is to go Spa! So you can wash your body and take a rest! This time we choose another hotel at Kuta area. Then we went to seafood dinner at Jimbaran Bay. Things are still the...

19 July, a day in Grand Hyatt This was the last day in Grand Hyatt we normally spent time in the resort. My usual routine, 30mins jog + shower + breakfast. It was Saturday, the resort was more busy in the weekend, people already queued up for the pool side cafe where were quite quiet in the day before. Background music was loud that didn't seem to fit the morning. We didn't stay long and moved to the beach right after the breakfast. It was still super sunshine, couldn't help to jump into the water to feel the indian ocean! It was the day of full moon, swell was strong, current was also strong that I could feel. Not really for surfing and swimming but body-boarding was fine. We got tanned for a while from the beach then moved to the pool. Many people staying on the pool but they didn't swim, typical resort style. We took a few shots there! Weather was lovely anyway!! Until 12:00, we went back for packing and check-out. Oh the guy served us is a front desk manager! We exp...

18 July, another day to prepare our wedding! My usual routine, 30mins jog before the breakfast. Then we grabbed a taxi to Ritz Carlton for a meeting with Mada Astika, our wedding coordinator, a young and nice guy. He first brought us to the venue Asmara Gazebo, where our wedding would take place, introducing the surrounding and explaining what and how the environment would be setup, we also moved to the very modern decorated preparation room for the bride and the groom, then we sit down for a meeting and confirmed the rundown and some of the outstanding tasks. Oh! A meeting at Ritz Carlton!! G felt another unleash as our wedding became more visualizing! We then ran into the resort of Ritz Carlton Bali and checking in checking out some rooms that we eagered to stay at, well.... So we went to the Aquatonic Pool that another place we've been missing for 5 years! You gonna check it out in the next visit of Ritz Carlton Bali! Better to do it after a day of surfing in Kuta Beach, coz you...

17 July, photo shoting day for pre-wedding! 6:30am, phone alarm ringing, the plan was to take a 30mins jog before the breakfast as the crew from Photo Factory will come to our room at 8am. But why did they ring the bell at 7am? "Hello Good morning Charles we are from Photo Factory, how are you?" Greeting from Photo Factory. "Oh Hi! Good morning, you guys aren't coming at 8am? What is the time now?" I asked. "It's 4 minutes past 8." "Oh really!! It's 8am already!! GOoosh!!!"...@#$%@IU I quickly realized the mobile phone time was in-synce with the network provider as the provider was in Jakata time and it was 1 hour before Bali time!!! DAMN!!!!! But don't worry, as they need to do make up for G, so I went to Garden Cafe to grab some bread for G, I did my 30mins run during her make up. I was ready and prepare for the shot as I trained hard and eat heathy for my body, but G didn't seem to be that prepare even though she tried hard...

Haven't been really go oversea holiday with G after moving out. It was 16 July. We waked up at 5:30am, grabed a taxi to the bus station and headed to the airport. We had a quick breakfast, grabbed a few magazines (Cycle Sport, Men's Health my flavours) then caught the 10am flight to Depensar, Bali, the place we've been missing since year 2003. At the time we boarding we met Nerrida Rigg!! The organizer of Splash N Dash Aquathon and Deep Water Ocean swim series !! She and her family were also going to Bali, Nusa Dua!! 4 hours of flight, landing on the beautiful super sunshine lovely Bali Island at just 2pm! Grabbed a taxi and checked in to room 3258 Grand Hyatt at Nusa Dua at 4pm. After settling down, a quick shower and walked around the resort and checked out the beach!! Lovely! We then sit down and ate something at Garden Cafe and welcomed by the hospitable staff. We were hungry and dared not to eat much as we aimed at keeping fit for the pre-wedding photo shoting next da...
