"Hope Bali was good. Thank you for coming back."

That was the email message I got from my Boss early this morning.

Of course, I have to be diplomatic. I replied, "Thanks. It's great to be back! I am all rejuvenated and ready to tackle work today! ROAR!"

(Fake! Fake! Fake!)

On my way to work today, I guesstimate that my unread emails for the 1 day leave I took on Monday would be about 100. To my chargrin, it is exactly 98. Hah! Anyway, before I start on them, I downloaded the pics I took from my iPhone. Here's some highlights of my trip:

 

This is a cool new joint called Potato Head, located at Petitengeh.
The exterior (and interior) facade is made up of colourful used window shutters.

 

The inside of Potato Head

Sipping cocktails with a hilarious read by the beach



I took this photo of a sleeping baby elephant (at the Ubud Elephant Sanctuary) for The Toe.
I imagined this is what she was doing while I was away...

Dined at Sardine again. Strange, the menu did not change since the last time I've been there, a year ago.
The night view of the padi field at the back is still as beautiful.

Shame on me for going to a Starbucks in Bali, but I can't  help it; need reprive from the sun.
Oh, and the sign is made of teak wood instead of its usual tacky green plastic!

Also, which other Starbucks has such an amazing view of the Lotus Palace Garden (Ubud)

A new massage place I discovered along Jln Kunti 118X. Think Japanese's shiatsu (accupressure) style. Great for those who likes to keep their clothes on. Each bed gets a private iPod with Buddha Bar-ish music. A
 great alternative to the usual Balinese massage.

Last but not least, this is me chilling out with my gossip mags at my 2 br villa @ Kanishka, Seminyak. Ultimate bliss!!
