A Tuesday by the Pool

The relaxing hours continue, and I'm so relaxed after this day!
We went to Gajah Putih, our friend's villa, and just chilled out by the pool for some hours. Ah so nice!
It wasn't so hot today, part cloudy, so it was perfect to lay down and enjoy the sun!
The sea is just a few meters from the villa so while you're by the pool you can watch the waves from afar. Although the Canggu sea is not the best for chillin' but great for surfing.

Laying there made me thinking of why do I still live in Sweden when there are so many other countries with better weather..?!! Well, I'm not the kind of person who likes to complain...but...you know...I'm not a big fan of rain and snow for the most part of the year!

I thought about my future, that I really want a family one day and a great job that I enjoy, I want to write better songs, caring even more about the world around me and explore it more of course too.
Many thoughts flew in my mind while I liestened to the waves. But the most important thought was that my family needs me and I need them. I'm too far away from them. And the days are passing by, the time runs fast and without knowing it, it will be too late. Well, actually I believe in reincarnation, but I'd rather spend my time now with my family in a space that I know about, then in an insicure future. How funny would it be to spend time with my beloved ones as a frog? I can't judge that now though, haha! But humans sound funnier indeed!

Anyway, I want to be more close to my family, and I will figure it out how soon.
(Today it is even my sister's birthday and I can't be close to her...Sad!)

I heared today that one of the gardners of Gajah Putih is at the hospital because of one mosquito bite! He has very high fiver and slept for 5 days. I really hope he will be better soon. The mosquito is a "tiger one" with white and black stripes, and very hungry..Gaah that is not a good one. Poor guy. I'm really thankful that I have a big gecko under my bed often at nights. So he can take good care of the mosquitos!

Here in Canggu is time to cozy myself into bed, read a couple of pages and fall asleep!

Good Night world!

Relax & Shopping

These first two days in Bali have been full of relax! I have a little jetleg to take off me so relaxing is what fits best now! I came to Bali in the first place to enjoy time with my family, I love spending time with them! So more I can do it, happier am I! I'm glad that my parents are such good friends to have fun with! Now I even reloaded my Indo phone so I can reach my friends here! Bagus!

Yesterday we started the day with a long walk on the beach while we stopped at Echo beach to take a cup of Espresso. (Once italian, always italian!) Lovely to sit by the ocean and just enjoying the view and the great surfing! Two good friends of us came over for lunch, we had a lot to talk about and this couple is so exciting that is always nice to meet them! They are italians too, but lived here in Bali for around 12 years. I can tell you that they are "sun-bringers": People with always a smile on their faces and up on top friendly!! Me and her have already decided to take a Spa evening next week!

I took my relax time and had one hour massage! Ah! it was amazing! My back is much better now! It is so in pain after all the sitting here and there! Bali will for sure fix me up! Hoi!


Today after I woke up six o'clock (jetleg?) and read a couple of hours we went to Discovery Shopping Mall in Kuta. It was cloudy/rainy so it was perfect to just walk around shops! We walked by the beach too, near all the hotels and ate a very delicious balenese lunch! I bought a pair of shorts and some Dvds! Now me and mom are prepared to watch girly comedies and have a cozy time!

Bali, Finally at home!

It's amazing the feeling that Bali brings me. As soon as I arrived yesterday I felt home. Even if my parents were there and wherever they are it's like home to me, Bali is special, it makes it easy to feel welcome. I missed the air, the nature, the culture, the people so much!

The trip started very smoothly from Stockholm to London, actually great served food, and the time went by very fast. I was so worried the night before because of Mr. Volcano. But he wanted to rest, thank god!
London Heathrow was crowded as always. It's funny how people wait in front of the gate planner for their gate number to show up even if their gates open after about 20-30 minutes! I had just 5 minutes until my gate would open, so I didn't have the time to walk through the expesive shops. I like it when I don't have to wait for long, but It's always entertaining to windowshop!

It was a veeery long flight to Singapore. It felt longer for me because I couldn't sleep at all! And I didn't drink coffee and no child cried! Sometimes you just can't, and the time stopped. But I had fun too. I watched Sherlock Holmes, a very great movie, I laughed very often and sometimes I woke up my sitting neighbour because of that...hmmx. It's Complicated was on my instant movie menu too. Meryl Streep is great as always!

The service on the plane was at the top! Singapore Airlans is one of the best flight companies. But they must think that everyone is constantly hungry!! They came all the time with snacks, food, beverages...wow!
Lot of traffic was at Singapore Changi Airport, so we had to wait for 15-20 min. more until we could land. And I just had 30 min to run to the gate for my next flight to Bali. I met a very nice girl from London that was on her way to Bali too so we made each other company. And I'm so thankful for that because when we arrived in Bali we had to wait in a queue for 3 hours!!! Just for getting the Visa, now at the airport they take the picture and fingerprints on everyone. There were 1 person for each queue. So imagine 5 planes that arrived at the same time and they spent ca. 10 min for each person to pass by....Pffff.

But finally I could hug my parents again, my bag was there, and I could enjoy my first night at home!

Saya senang sekali! - I'm very happy!
