Sunday adventure was continued to Badung Night Market

Market life naturally tough and has its unwritten rules. These rules have never changed since the stone era where our ancestors traded their fresh produce with their other needs. All of these complex transactions and "fights" are for a piece of paper that they believe has a value, money. The more papers you have the more powerful you are.

Another Sunday at the Park

Spending time at the park is always fun for the kids and kids alike.. There were cultural performances by children from some schools. Lots of cheap toys and snacks.. Also good to improve social skills of our children.

Sunday fun for these kids

Most of them never been to malls. The fun started at Carrefour playgrounds where they really indulge in the slides and balls. It continued with lunch at Pizza Hut Galleria then shopping for stationaries in Hypermart. A genuine "Thank you Om Nur and Tante Iin"
On our way home made us feel the effort was highly appreciated.

Dirty Park after the shows

Its hard to see so much rubbish were left at the park. Meaning that majority of the public just still do not have the knowledge about sustainable world.

I picked up these rubbish as much, but how can we improve general public understanding?

Dance at Puputan Badung Park

Free dance performance at the Park by 5 years kids. So cute how these little kids perform in their complete traditional custom.

Aurel loves this 'Ning Nong' as how she called it.

President debate

I am proud to see three of the best indonesian to run for presidency. I like Ibu Mega for her motherly easy to read answers. I like SBY for his calm, mature and structured thought process. I like JK for his out of the box thinking and nothing to loose attitude.

Its a lot easier to criticize them, to tell them how to do it better and to pick up their mistakes. But I did try to put myself in their shoes, on the same spotlight, and its not easy.

Invisible beach

We live 5min from Jimbaran beach and we do not 'see' (appreciate) the beach anymore. Its beautiful, nice to swim or even to surf, lots of stalls for traditional snacks like tipat or rujak. It couldn't be better than that. But we take it for granted its there.

Maybe just like how we treat our spouse, we do not 'see' her or him anymore. We take it for granted that she/he will be there and be at home again tonight. What if last night was your LAST night spent together? Would you treat her/him differently? Would you tell her/him how you so still in love and you will do anything just to see her smile again..

I love you babe.
So much.

Aurel says NO to every question

But she still smiles to the camera all the time

Exco Shooting training

Morning pleasure

its 5 am now..
i just wanna say..
good morning..

Its 6am now
Beautiful morning
I feel cool breeze thru my still sleep skins
Birds are chanting high in the trees
Their morning prayers to welcome the Sun
Same like yesterday
Same for tomorrow
Its an appreciation for a new day

If birds understand
Why do so many people take things for granted
They do not welcome the sun rise anymore
Life is too busy for something else
Their jobs, money, happiness, ego,
But they forgot simple pleasures in life

Like the bird's sound
Like the sun rise
Like a sweet smile from a beautiful girl
Or a nice good morning kiss from distance
Life is sweet
Enjoy it
Every breath, every step
Follow me
Be with me

Fish arrives

Group of men the boat.
'Wholesale' lady buyer bargain on the fish.
Fish carrier take the fish to centralized weight scale.
The s scale is paid by taking some fish out of every box.
Then it distributed to sellers

Fish market

Traditional fish trader

Fisherman arrived and his wife sells last night catches next to their boat. What a simple life.

Kedonganan Market

Everybody have their role, thousands of them interact with each other. They have their own language more like codes and signs but everybody understand.
If you see it from distance, its not different than a group of ants interact to each other.
