Esok Gi Bali!

Tak tau kenapa... tetiba tangan aku ni gatal nak menaip blog. Maybe sebab excited nak gi Bali esok kot. Ada lah dah packing skit2 especially benda2 yg penting untuk travel kene lah ada macam universal adapter, kompas (biasa & kiblat punya), basic first aid kit dll. Aku dah check pasal electricity kat Bali... rasanya will be no problem, maybe tak perlu adapter pun kot. Waktu solat kat sana pun dah print... biasanya aku check waktu solat & arah kiblat bila nak travel ni kat IslamicFinder. Ni tengah pikir ni, apa lagi benda penting yang perlu dibawa... oh yer, kene bawak sandal gak... mana lah tau nak bersiar2 di tepi pantai.

Anyway, aku pilih Bali pun sebab dekat dengan pantai. Ceh... macam dah takde pulau kat M'sia. Ntah lah, memang tiba2 jer decided nak gi Bali... masa tu tengah dok browse AirAsia. Try Bali, check harga not bad walaupun tak dapat tiket flight free, aku still dapat harga tiket yang murah. Lagi pun kalau nak free, bulan Feb ke atas lah kan. Pastu puas pujuk my hubby. Keputusan nak gi Bali ni diambil dalam masa sehari jer. Ni kira budget vacation lah ni sebab kitorang pun bukan ada budget sangat nak gi bercuti. Tukar duit pun RM500 jer. So, untuk percutian ke Bali ni kitorang belanja around RM1500 termasuk flight, accommodation & tax. Harap2 cukuplah untuk makan, travel kat sana & shopping. Kalau tak cukup... ermm... credit card lah jawabnya. Tapi tak mau lah. Tahun ni banyak nak pakai duit. InsyaAllah, kalau masuk rumah baru, rasanya RM7k dalam tangan nak kene spend. Tapi kalau ikut napsu, lagi2 lepas tengok Casa Impian baru2 ni, which Eric hias living room dgn tema Eksotik Bali, rasa macam nak shopping kat Bali ukiran kayu yang hias kat dinding tu... tak pun frame gambar ukiran kayu... kesian gambo kawin kitorang, still tak berbingkai lagi. Bukannya memilih frame, cuma duduk rumah sewa ni memang takde mood nak hias rumah. Tapi kalau memilih frame pun apa salahnya kan... asal nampak kelas... ahakss. Tengok lah camna nanti... lagipun, kalau nak hias rumah kitorang lebih suka modern style. Kayu2 ni kurang skit. Tapi... eh... takde tapi2 lagi. Aku kene berazam cuma nak shopping souvenir. Niat nak gi bercuti sahaja & tengok culture orang. Keep that in my mind.

Aku sebenarnya seriau jugak nak gi Bali ni... tapi ni lah aku... suka buat keputusan secara spontan. Especially kalau aku rasa sesuatu tu murah, rasa nak grab jer terus. Lagipun, selalu dok dengar cite orang, Bali ni macam tu macam ni... skit2 Baliness style... so better lah pegi sendiri & judge myself ye ker Bali ni seindah & se'eksotik' yang dikabar-kabarkan. Aku berdoa semoga aku & hubby selamat pegi & selamat balik, insyaAllah.

Ok lah, aku ingat balik nanti aku nak tulis detail pasal percutian aku ke sana. Babai, semoga kita berjumpa lagi... here I come Bali!!!

We've Got It Going On

... is Backstreet Boys' 1st single. I was a big fan of them. I was 18 when I bought... no... a friend gave me BSB's 1st album as a birthday present. Bukan lagu ni jer yang best... semua lagu best!

1996

Since then I spent my time browsing their site on internet & listening to their song. I joined the BSB forum & chatroom. Memang minat giler lah masa tu. My most favorite BSB was Brian or known as B-Rok... or shall I say 'is' bcos I still think Brian is the most charming guy in BSB. Tak tau lah macam mana nak describe betapa minatnya kat BSB masa tu... hingga lah sampai album diorang Black & Blue. Semua lagu diorang memang best termasuklah single 'Drowning' untuk album kompilasi Chapter 1. Kalau tak silap, masa tu tahun 2001. Then, aku abis belajar... hidup baru bermula... kurang dah amik tau pasal BSB ni. Tambahan plak BSB sendiri senyap after released their compilation album. They are like history in music world. They were gone...

... 2002... 2003... 2004... 2005...

They came back with their new album! They never gone! Yeah... Never Gone... that's the title of the album.

2005

Masa Raya Haji, 10 Nov hari tu, aku sempat layan MTV Hits: Backstreet Boys. How the years go by... I'm not a big fan of them anymore. I already owned their latest album but I didnt enjoy it as much as I enjoyed their previous albums. Now I'm more to Evanescence & Linkin Park. But to watch back their video clips in the MTV Hits remind me to the past. I was very excited. It's like wow... lamanya dah zaman tu especially when I watch vc from their 1st album - Backstreet Boys... bayangkan they were young, beraksi dengan windbreaker... well it has been 9 years! I grew up from a girl of 18 to not-yet-a-woman of 23 listening & adoring them. Even though after that I'm not a big fan of them anymore, they remain fresh in my memory as my most favorite boyband.

Now, I think I've grown up to be more matured, I'm old enough to determine my path of life, so they are. Time goes by... I realized I've changed, I dont know much about BSB now but I'm sure they've changed too. Everybody changed. Our taste, our interest, our comitment, our priority, even our dream can change. We change for good. We strive to succeed. Sometimes we get stuck & stumbled. But as life goes on, there are more to achieve... somehow we've got it going on... yeah.
