Night Bazaar at Mas, Gianyar, Bali

A friend come today and ask me to hang out with her. Sound good, isn't it? Although tonight rain drops outside, but still we keep going our way. She's a Balinese Muslim woman from Payangan, Ubud. She want me to know more about Bali that's why she ask me to have a visit at a Night Bazaar at Mas, Gianyar. Just about 10 minutes away by motorbike from my house. My friend said the bazaar always held in every end of Kuningan Day's celebration.
The Bazaar is just like other night bazaar in other town. Lots of seller with variety of things, from snack to fashion things. People are streaming down the crowd together with some kinds of music playing from different stands. Very noisy. But I think they enjoy the night after busy days before in the event of Galungan and Kuningan celebration.
What make a difference compare to bazaar in other town, and it's interesting me, is most visitors come in their traditional look. Women are wearing kebaya, a traditional woman's blouse usually worn with a sarong. Men are wearing a shirt with double line sarong and an "udeng", kind of headclothes. Some of them are modifying their costume but others still on their complete traditional style. Unfortunately, I didn't take any picture to give a complete description tonight.
Even in a crowded situation, still I enjoy the night cause it's just so different.

There's Something Inside....

I just thinking about value of a thing, it's not something which appeared on its outside packing. If we talking about something we bought from a local store, we pay a price to have this things. But I think, there's differences between "Value" and "Price/Cost". For example, a girl buy a medicine for her mother in sickness. Price is concern with money, something which economically perceived. The value in this case is they hope mother recover from her illness. Value is something that goes beyond Price.
It also happened when interpreting something in life. Something happened means more than just what come up directly in our eyes. Meaning of something is concerning our feeling, the way our heart feel it. It's not about we see, we touch but how we feel, how we found its deeper meaning, how our sense come in its inside.
For someone, a strike mean pain for a while. Another one, it could mean a lost of his existences while for other one, it could be a starting line to the next stage on his life.
In the context of our own experience, only our self who can feel what's the meaning of it, nothing in general.
How we could change a pain to be starting point for our happiness, and its reverse.
How we could take a wisdom of something and walking our path towards what we really want for our life. The way we perceive everything in our life adding one more value for ourself....and we never be same again.

Bali, Bali, Bali

End of March 2008. A very very tough times for me. I have to make decision that gonna change my life, leave my old life behind and face a brand new start. Yes, it's very hard for me.
Before i never write in my agenda that I will move to Bali on 2008. I only have one chance to come to Bali when I was in high school, only for a week, and know a little number of name, not even a ten fingers to count. But I think it's not so bad to try something new to live my life.

At time I decide to leave my hometown, I don't know it will be good or bad, all I know is I have to move on, going from one stage to next stage on my life.

Here I am right now in Bali, the land of Gods. I have to start my new life, meet new people, come to new places, have new experiences, knowing new things and learn something new to complete my role in life. I have to extending my path and leave some trails in every way that i could make to fulfill my life.

As an ordinary human, I never knew what my future would be. All I can do is try to doing everything that I should do in my life with the best that I could and I'm sure that God will take care the rest.

Bali....the Island of Gods

I live in Bali since six month ago. I meet new people, come to new places, have new experiences and other things that i never knew before have be part of my life today. What interesting me most is about Balinese culture, its people, and their lifestyle.
Bali, which located at located at 8°25′23″South Coordinates, 115°14′55″ East Coordinates, westernmost of the Lesser Sunda Islands, lying between Java to the west and Lombok to the east, Denpasar as the capital of province (http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bali), is one of the domestic and international tourist destination.
So later in this blog I think its good to write about Bali, its places and its people. Lots of great things I found here. I'm gonna share my new life with you in this blog. Hope you enjoy and I wish it will be useful for you who need some information about Bali.
