Up on Melancholy Hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day of another dream

Well, you can't get what you want, but you can get me
So let's set up and see
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me, when you're close to me

So call in the submarine
'Round the world we'll go
Does anybody know
If we're looking out on the day of another dream

If you can't get what you want
Then you come with me

Up on Melancholy Hill
Sits a manatee
Just looking out for the day
When you're close to me, when you're close to me

When you're close to me


this song is just fav forever.

kuta, bali

trip to kuta, bali in early august was awesome. the weather was great, the hotel was great, food was awesome, the beach and the waves are just spectacular. if only my stay there was longer.

made a review of the hotel i was at. review can be found here at tripadvisor.
still have a couple more reviews to share, shall find time for it. :) not forgetting phuket trip.
can't believe i was on a crazy holiday marathon. 5 days of phuket and 5 days of bali.
bali was planned for months in advance, so we had more activities to fill our days. phuket was the peak of lazy. eating and drinking all day..

anyway, here's photos to share of kuta!
