I get on with my life. I think about how lucky I was to be here, nice place, nice job, nice paycheck.. Oh well, a little romantic problem shouldn’t stop me to have a great time here, right?
I spent the weekend with my friend in Kuta. We chatted, went window-shopping, made rujak (kinda fruit salad with hot sauce), walked to the beach, went swimming, watched sunset... At night, we watched DVD. It’s hard to keep my eyes open, as I was so exhausted with the tiring sweating outdoor activities all day long! But I wanted to finish the movie I’ve been longing to see: Brokeback Mountain. After almost 3 hours watching with my heavy-eyes, the movie just stopped! Yup, just like that! I didn’t know how the story ends. Thanks to DVD bajakan!!
The next day, we planned to go to the beach to learn surfing firstly in the morning. The plan went slightly behind schedule: we left home at two o’clock! Well, it’s Sunday. Who wants to get up early on Sunday?
Anyway, we got on with the plan: learn surfing. We tried to get all the best resource for my first-surf-learning. We had categories for ‘the best resource’: cute surf board and cute instructor!
Sure we had good reason for that. I’ll tell you later…
I went head over heels to learn surfing. I don’t know why it’s so hard to lift my body up to stand on the board. Sometimes the waves were not good to me as it rolled me down before I was able to raise my head. Sometimes other surfers were not good to me as they let their board bumping over my body. Ouccchhh!
Then I got cramped. The instructor led me to the shore to help me with my pain. You see, that’s the reason why cute instructor is SooOo important!
I could stand alright! Oh yeah… a nice two second moment!
Well, it’s still a progress..
Near sunset, the waves were really unfriendly for rookie surfer like me. So I decided to stop. We sat on the beach, waiting for the sunset. A friend brought a camera to shoot the sunset. But we convinced him that we were also a very good object to shoot.
... photo session!
I asked him to take the picture of me, just like the ads in Yahoo! Vacation.. He laughed. He took the picture of me with the surfing board. The result is more like the Quicksilver or Oakley advertisement. I’m quite satisfied. I looked good. The surfer board, too. That’s why cute surf board is soOo important!
When the night fell, we returned home. All tan and exhausted. Full of bruises too!
