I'm back from Bali, the land of beautiful sunsets and unbelievable beaches (more about the beaches later). Today, I was walking toward Ikea Tampines when I saw an amazing sight! In the middle of the sky coloured in hues of pink, orange and purple, there was a perfectly round glowing red ball, completely unobscured by clouds. You say duh, that's the Sun! But that glowing ball looked so 3-dimensional and so near that I stood near the overhead bridge for awhile, thinking that it must be a lantern and not the Sun! This is not as silly as it seems as there was one lantern hanging in the distance near the Sun. Haha. I continued my journey to Ikea, looking at this glowing ball all the while and finally concluded that it had to be the Sun, though I've never seen it looking like this before.
The beaches in Bali are beautiful. My particular favourite among those that I've visted is Legian Beach, at which our hotel was located. When I fell sick nearing the end of our trip, I wore a mask and rented an umbrella lounge chair. The next day I felt better and I sat on the sand, lost in the music of the ocean, the thrill of the waves rushing towards shore and my feet and the feel of the soft soft sand. My feet would start to sink into this soft soft sand. It was most surprising that as I walked along the beach, words just came to me and formed a song! It is really hard to describe my attachment to the place, hard to say how it refreshed my soul, and how I long to be back there.
My slippers and the heart that I drew (:
