Everyone is granted more than 1 decisions in the past, and for sure most of us contemplates damn long before making their own choice. And each choice goes down a path, that will provide them a different chance. And different chances results in different outcomes. And different outcomes brings them to a different "Now".
What is more amazing, is how all these past decisions can affect who you have met now.
You might have chosen a different degree, and take the path less taken.
You might have chose to just give up everything, for the sake of others.
You might have chose to not fulfill your attendance.
You might have just chose to live strong and be free, and to realise that how lucky you are to be with the best you ever had.
Or you might have just don't care and start off the conversation with just one word.
Those right decisions could have just bring anyone together even if you were hundreds of kilometers away.
Now that is what I call fate. Something that we tiny humans have control of.

The Art of Char Kuey Tiao
Some people ponder about the greatest world problems while they are "sittin' on da toilet"; well and I got this awesome time of ponder-ment while waiting for my dinner at a local Char Kuey Tiao stall.
Hypothesis: Char Kuey Tiao is the most complicated food to sell ever. (Hell Yeah I am random, 'cause I think whatever I want! It's world changing goddamnit!)
Think about it, I'm not talking about you having the best style of cooking to serve up a plate of awesomeness, but I am talking about the orders.
Why, because the one taking down orders have to understand your options before being able to proceed with your orders:
1. Tauke you want taugeh or bogeh ("no teeth" in hokkien)?
2. You want the "si ham" (cockles) or the no ham (no such thing)? *Most popular question, Highly recommended (like 5-thumbs-up rated) question for the cook
3. Like KFC, the CKT (Acronym la bro, see what I did there?) also has its own "HOT & SPICY" and its non-spicy "ORIGINAL RECIPE"
4. WHAT ARE YOU STILL COMTEMPLATING ON? EGG OR NO EGG?
5. Some people like to complicate stuff, and likes noodles in their Kuey Tiaos.
There, different people different combination. Bare in mind this is no McDonalds, and the stalls don't have Combo A, or B or C.
With that much options to remember, most likely my CKT would still be unwrapped and still be behind a watermark
It ain't easy man, I'm just sayin'

Bali: Island of over commercialization
So 2012 is here and lets summarize this inactive blog, 3 post for 2010 and 9 post for 2011, excellent job to me for still trying to come up with posts to keept this shitty place runnin'!
Okay, my first post of 2012 will be a short-rant-cum-half-assed-review on my recent rrip down to Bali:
1. The view
The panaroma is nice get to see terrace paddy fields at Tegalalang, volcano and its crater lake from Kintamani, but not the goddamn beach. (Pics or it didn't happen? not here now bro, not here)
IMHO, the best beach I saw so far was Nusa Dua. The one at Sanur is too loaded with tourist with rubbish everywhere; Ketewel is an eye-opener for black sand beaches (due to the volcano); Kuta beach with a long-ass coastline of trash and Kedongongan was like an alternative dumping site.
It's like you walk through it and suddenly you wonder, "where the heck did the beach come from to the middle of the rubbish dump?"
2. Traffic
Lots of cars and motorbikes and everything that moves on single-laned 2-way roads that are either pot-holed, obstructed and/or partially destroyed.
Jam till the bikes can't even weave through
3. Super-duper commercialized
a) Due to many tourist coming into Bali at a rate of 112423 people per minute (no proper reference), restaurant, shop houses, hotels, massage and spas, pubs and bars can be found jam packed along beaches or anywhere the tourists might go.
b) Locals appear at tourist hotspots to sell items ranging from sarongs, small sculptures, baskets and newspapers (which are nicely wrapped in transparent bags, showing the latest frontpage but old content behind the covers).
c) Almost everywhere you want to visit requires you to pay a certain amount of entrance fee, especially at temples (with Besakih the worst case scenario)
So would I go back there again?
Meh, Nope, not likely in the forseeable future, although with nice places to see and beautiful culture to experience.
From, the guy who came back from a 4-rainyday, 5-rainynight Bali trip.
Yes, I admit that I went there at the worst possible season too.
Else, everything is nice:
