Song of The Night

Wednesday, November 23, 2011

As I walk this land of broken dreams,
I have visions of many things.
Love's happiness is just an illusion,
Filled with sadness and confusion.
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.

The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down.
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger,
I can't stand this pain much longer!
I walk in shadows,
Searching for light.
Cold and alone,
No comfort in sight.
Hoping and praying for someone to care,
Always moving and goin' nowhere.
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find,
Some kind of peace of mind.
Help me..

I'm searching though I don't succeed,
For someone's love, there's a growing need.
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning,
All that's left is an unhappy ending.
Now what becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find,
Some kind of peace of mind,
I'll be searching everywhere,
Just to find someone to care.
I'll be looking everyday,
I know I'm gonna find a way.
Nothings gonna stop me now,
I'll find a way somehow.
I'll be searching everywhere...

Tanah Lot Temple

Thursday, November 17, 2011

I think this place is the most frequently place I had visited among the other place in Bali. Tanah Lot located about 30 minutes from my place in Kerobokan. The place well known with the temple on top of the rock. To get near the temple you have to wait till the tide is low enough so you can walk from the beach to the temple. We can not get into the the temple since it closed and only available for religious ceremonies.

Beside Tanah Lot temple there also Batubolong Temple not far from area entrance. Just head to the right and follow the road till you can see the temple on top of the rock with hole underneath it.

The best view in this place is the sunset.Just come here before sunset and you can enjoy the place with beautiful sunset in Bali. Most of beaches on Southern Bali have a beautiful sunset like Kuta,Legian,Seminyak beach. If you want to watch the sunrise in Bali,Sanur is one great place to visit.

Oh just remember this week on this Saturday 19 there are Sanur Village Festival 2011 that will be held in Sanur and Denpasar Horticulture Festival 2011.Got to wake up early before sunrise and get going to Sanur to watch Sunrise and Sanur Village Festival. Just can't wait to go. I just wan't to enjoy my live in Bali,everything else is secondary :).

Quote from someone who are really I admire,Steve Jobs

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Amed Beach

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

Finally got a chance to snorkling in this place. Beach with soft black sand and a lot of jukungs park on the side of the baech make this place really nice place to visit. Beside this place there're a lot of beach all over the place. From nice white sand and black sands to rocky beach you can find here if you get down the road along Amed area. What really interesting in this place we can see colorfull jukungs park along most of the beach here. Annually there was Jukung Race held on early October. Unfortunately last month I was't able to attend the event.

Amed beach really good place to start learn diving or just snorkling along the place. The coral and fish quite varied in this location and the current not to strong. But some place the depth about 5 meters or more. So I suggest not to go far away from coast. For me who doesn't have any swimming experience or you can say can't swim the beach with 5 meters depth quite scary.

I tried to learn snorkling without fin just snorkle and mask. You can rent the snorkling equipment(snorkle and mask) about 15k and 30k with fin. But not quite good equipment. If you really enjoy snorkling I suggest you buy a good snorkling equipment so you can enjoy snorkling without worry about saltwater leak on your mask :). But really great time to do snorkling here. I just think about buy snorkling equipment next time. There're a lot of snorkling and diving spot in Bali. Enjoy weekend to do snorkling in the beach really a fun activity.

Daily Earthquake in Bali

Saturday, November 5, 2011

Since I was in Bali I had three large earthquakes. The largest by magnitude 6.8 about a month ago and the last happened yesterday. Don't be surprised at Bali frequent earthquakes because Bali is located quite close to the meeting place of Sunda plate and the Indian-Australian plate. That's why earthquake just like daily event in Bali. But still Bali is interesting place to visit and live :).

Check this map out. I decide to create earthquake map. This is realtime earthquake monitoring base on BMKG latest earthquake event in Indonesia. The red bounce marker is tha latest earthquake event. For more info visit BMKG website.
