TODAY, there’s a man, perhaps in his 40-s, kinda decent looking, approached me.

The Man : Hi, sorry. Can you do me a favour?

Me : May I know what is it?

The Man : Can you help to press on the accelerator in my car?

Me : … (speechless)

The Man : I want to hear the sound of my car engine.

Me : Errr…

The Man : So, can you help me with that? Just step on the accelerator only.

Me : There’s a petrol station nearby.

The Man : Where is it?

(Are you blind or what? You’re coming from the opposite direction, which obviously should have seen or passed by the petrol station DEFINITELY, coz it’s just bout 1-2 minutes walk away only.

Me : It’s just there. (Pointing towards the direction.)

The Man : Oh… I dun want that petrol station. Is there any other petrol station?

(What the hell, if your car have problem, obviously you’ll check with the workman shop, why ask help from a total stranger?)

Me : I’m not too sure. Sorry. I’m in a rush now.

The Man : Where are you going?

(o.O . Does it matter where am I going? We dun even know each other.)

Me : (Took a step back so we have more distance away from each other) I’m going back. I have something to do urgently. I’m in a rush now. Sorry.

*WALKS OFF AS FAST AS I COULD*

Back to my car, I have so many unanswered questions.

What the heck does the man wants? Is he really decent as he looks?

Why can’t he seek help from a guy? Why me?

If his car really such a big problem, why can’t he seek help from those guys at the workman shop at petrol station?

Why does he ask me where am I going?

What happens if I followed him to his car? Would I ended up being kidnapped? rob? rape? torture? abuse? murder? You name it!

.

.

.

Geez… Call me paranoid. I have goosebumps all over me now.

And if you’re wondering if he followed me? NO. I’ve looked at my rear mirror, no one tails me back home.

I’m glad I arrived safely at home now, could it the lucky charm which I have with me?

it’s unpredictable.

it could be so cloudy, like doomsday, like the world is going to end.

it could be so windy, like storm, like everything is going to be swept away.

it could be so sunny, like fire, like you’re going to be burnt into ashes left.

.

.

.

But, don’t forget,

it could be just a fine weather, where everything is so clear,

like rainbow, where you see hope,

where you see bright side,

where you feel calmness,

where you feel peacefulness,

where you feel happiness,

where you see life, again.

.

Mine’s stormy, what’s your weather like now?

Really, Bali is famous for its spa. Whenever you see a travel guide about Bali, it will definitely mention spa.  You think of spa, you think of relaxation, rejuvenation, especially after a long day of walk.

It’s really funny when I thought about our main reason for going to spa for the first night at Bali. We didn’t make any booking for spa, so it was quite tough to find a place which could accommodate 6 of us at once. So, we ended going to Green Grass Spa at Jalan Legian, Kuta, it’s the same row as the hotel we stayed over while mr. BF went to Spa Bali alone instead.

The first thing and the very much repeated question from us to the receptionist was “Does this package include bath?”, “Which package includes bath?”, “I want the package which have bath.” . You see a common word there, BATH. you know why? Coz we were so reluctant and avoided to bath at our own hotel room!  It was kinda late and we didn’t have enough time for those package which have bath. I think they noticed we were desperate for bath(who wouldn’t notice?) so they offered massage package + free shower. LOL.

Me and carryse were in the same room different massage bed for body massage.

It’s my first time having a body massage. Geez, was kinda shy that have to be topless with someone you know in the room. I wouldn’t have been shy if someone beside me is not someone I know. What about you? would you have felt the same? Thank god the relaxing massage have ease away the awkwardness and we were very much too relaxed and snoozed away.

I told you that it comes with free shower right? Meaning you shower in their bathroom with shampoos, conditioner and body shampoo provided as in you are in a hotel. So, we took turns to shower right after our massage.

The massage only cost us about Rp85,000 (RM33.75) which I think it’s reasonably cheap!

We felt kinda paiseh after that…all were so desperate for bath, as if we have not bath in days, weeks, months, or even years.

On our second night, all of us went to Spa Bali, it’s also located at Jalan Legian, just a few steps away from our hotel.

This time, I took Massage and Body Scrub package instead which is about one hour treatment. This place is quite nice, it’s nicer than the one we went the day before. They also have room for couple where couples can have the spa in the same room.

We waited impatiently and very much excited for them to prepare the stuff and room for us.

This time it’s really awkward. I need to be totally naked except by wearing the given disposable black underwear. But it didn’t feel as bad, you know why? Coz they’ll cover your eyes with a piece of small tower most of the time. So, you don’t see them but they see you. LOL. I tried not to think too much and just enjoy the massage.

This is my view when I lie face down on the massage bed.

Then, they use the coconut scrub to apply all over my body, and yeah, ALL OVER MY BODY and let to dry. After about 10-15 minutes, they’ll start scrubbing the whole body(yeah, including the breasts). THIS IS REALLY AWKWARD having a gal scrubbing all over my body. I felt so lesbo but it’s really normal for them, it’s their routine job anyway. I bet they’ve seen all kinda breast like A, B, C, D, E, F, perhaps G Cup, fair breast, tan breast, sagging breast and not to forget different shapes of nipples too. LOL. Anyway, they’re really professional, they’ll ask if it’s too soft or hard for the massage at different parts of areas.

After the scrub was the best part, Mandi Bunga. Not like those you have bad luck then your mum buy the flowers for prayers and put into bucket for you to bath type. This is really mandi bunga. The bath tub is filled with water and flowers. So beautiful right?

Felt really happy seeing that, so big gal never have such bath before ler. Okay, here’s me enjoying my flowery bath~

*Sorry to disappoint, no naked photos here*

They even give a nice cuppa hot ginger tea for you to enjoy while mandi bunga. DAMN FRAKING NICE la! If I were to go Bali again, I will for sure go for this again.

Drying up after a nice relaxing spa.

 These are other packages available at Spa Bali. I still have Spa Bali’s contact number and details. Leave me a comment and I’ll provide it.

I find their price really cheap! The price was supposed to be Rp340,000 but they were having 50% discount and I ended up paying ONLY Rp120,000(RM47.40). Where can you find such good price and good service with great environment here?! It’s really a good experience.

But one thing, did you notice what was wrong with those massage bed? I’m not referring the hole at the top part, that’s for you to put your head during the massage. Notice there’s no soft part or hole at the upper body area. You know how good it is when someone massage your back, especially when it’s harder? The harder it is, the more impact on your back and body, the harder my breasts gotta press flat against the massage bed. That didn’t felt so good though. But I got used to it after awhile of massage. It’s my first time massage, so a bit 3 8 like kampung gal ok?

After days of encountering error “Unable to find the socket transport “ssl” – did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? (0)’ , I’ve FINALLY manage to import the comments and blog post from blogspot to wordpress.

With days of head cracking and nerve wrecking, googling the first 2 page of this error, I FINALLY saw ONE good workaround from 1 of the blogger. Instead of allowing the access of my own domain (emeryn.com) to access my blogger account, I registered a wordpress blog and imported directly from my blogspot (petssionate.blogspot.com) . Then after importing to wordpress, I exported the *.xml file and logon to my emeryn.com admin page to import that *.xml.

BRILLIANT! As easy as that. But, I wonder if after I exported that blogger *.xml, could I import directly to my emeryn.com ? I didn’t try that. It just didn’t cross my mind with that idea. perhaps you could try that and let me know about it.

FINALLY… that I have my own domain which I will not restrict myself on blogging only about animals, but also on life, travel, funny, gossips, busy body, or whatever which you could think of  as well.

***NOTE : I found that the youtube videos on the post which i exported from blogspot is not showing. please allow some time to edit that. ***

GOOD LUCK in trying if u’re reading bout the import of blogspot/blogger to wordpress!
