Last year I was supposed to attend a seminar in Bali... left a few days early so that I can spend some time in Ubud... but the trip was cut short for several reasons...
The night I arrived, there was a bombing in Jimbaran. didn't know about it because i slept early that night and my room didn't have a tv... I suddenly received sms after sms asking about my safety. Then my mom called... sounded very worried... alhamdulillah i was far away in rural Ubud so was not affected
The other reason why I had to come home was because I was dreadfully sick... had very high fever and was coughing like mad... kejap panas kejap sejuk... I knew that something was wrong because I've never felt this sick. True enough.. when I went to see a doctor... "You've got pneumonia and we have to admit you immediately" said the doctor. Seemed that I had lung infection... so in the end I was warded for a week and was away from office for almost a month!!
Apa-apa pun... I managed to snap some shots of the hotel I stayed in Ubud... chose it because of its "kampung" atmosphere... at night there were frogs croacking and crickets err... "cricketing"?? I'm so used to city sounds... can sleep with sounds of cars, etc but couldn't sleep when it was nature's music... hmm, itu lah... gadis kota
I wish I could have stayed on longer... already had a driver.. Pak Nyoman. He understood that I had to come home.. because my family was worried sick and I was feeling extremely sick... maybe next time....
