The Nostalgic days.....

With the movie Tranformers: revenge of the fallen and G.I. Joe just around the corner.... as a child born in the 80's i could not help but to have this nostalgic feeling of my childhood days. So i have compiled a list of cartoons that i have watched as a child. Kids nowadays dont know what they have missed... gone are the golden days of quality cartoons.... with so many channels to watch they eventually wont be able to share the same cartoons with kids from their same generation when they grow up.

My favourite top 10


#1 Transformers



#2 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles



#3 Thundercats



#4 The Real GhostBusters



#5 He-Man and the Masters of the universe



#6 M.A.S.K



#7 Saber Rider and the Star Sherrif



#8 Voltron



#9 G.I. Joe



#10 G-Force




The Rest (see if you can remember the titles)

Its Bali all over again

Its been 2years since the last time i have visited and im still as captivated as the first time i set foot on this island paradise. Some says that Bali is too commercialised, thats a claim that i wont refute but below the underlying surface lies a timeless beauty of nature and culture. While tourism has mainly taken over as the main economy of the Balinese people, some things still remains the same. You will still be able to see hillside rice fields, traditional performances, woodcarving, silver making and art. This alone help keep the identity of the people which does not fall far away from its roots. Without further ado i present to you Bali.

Kuta city of shopping, surf, and booze

Tulamben - Beach of the black sands


Beach made of volcanic rock earning it the name Beach of the black sands



Jimbaran - Beach dinner romance

Beach side dinner tables as far as the eyes can see






Where's my food!!!


Itadakimasu!!!


Menduk Waterfall - Serene waterfall in the heart of Bali

One of the many magestic waterfalls located in Bali


Chilling out!!!

Nusa Dua - Home of the 5-star Resorts and private beaches

Typical white sandy beaches and crystal blue waters.... the perfect resort material


Blending in


Ahhh... the sound of the crashing waves reminds me of home



Lovina - Relaxation Heaven

Aditya the relaxation central of Lovina


Setting off at dawn for dolphin watch


Dolphins spotted!!! the game of cops and robbers has begun.... the chase is on


A pair of silver fins... these playful and magestic creatures loves the attention and chase given by the boat handlers


Manage to catch a close-up shot of the bottle nose dolphin


As day breaks the cat and mouse chase ends with a spectacular sunrise


Nothing beats dipping in the pool for leisure


At days end fishermen returns with their catch


A sense of silence and alienation crept in as the sun sets beyond the horizon



Kintamani - Home of the cliff temples

The Kintamani cliff temple high above the jagged rocks and the crashing waves


Breath taking view from the edge of the cliff


The jagged rocks below.... falling down will spell certain doom


The cliff sides are carved by wind and waves over a millenia


whats better than taking a group picture on the edge of a cliff?


Isolated.... =_=



Tanah Lot - The Icon of Bali

Astounding evening view of tanah lot


A Silly thing to do in public..... aww wat the heck


The temple on the sea projected against the backdrop of balinese sunset

Kampung style view of the paddy fields at bebek bengil ristorante


A patch of young paddys

The sun and sky just above our heads


With the cooling paddy field breeze and comfy cushioning.... a perfect chance for a nap... ZZzZzZz
