I have not had the mood or much time to blog lately. After a very VERY tiring 5 days of work, the weekends are usually spent cleaning the house, doing the laundry, grocery shopping, cooking and lazing in bed. Hence, the absence….. I don’t think I will be blogging much till after November either. Why November you ask? Well, you will just have to wait till then. Waiting is the hardest part of anything. I wish we could just know the answers right away, but what’s the “fun” in all of that, huh? Especially when you know you will be doing all you can but it’s really not up to you to decide. How can someone determine the future of others by a single answer? How do we prepare ourselves for the worst?? We wait and wait and wait for the one GREAT answer and what if it’s a NO? What then? Just stand up, brush our knees and walk away? What if its a whole life planned ahead? What then? *sigh* Why do some people who don’t deserve what we want get all the luck? They say that if it’s meant to be it will be..is it really? Does that mean that no matter how hard we try, everything has already be planned out for us?? I want this more than anything in the world but feel so helpless because there is not much I can do. And if there is one thing I wish I could do in this situation, it’s turn back time. But what if you changed things back then and other things end up different?? I guess you can never have everything you want? It’s either this or that and never this AND that? Must we sacrifice something to get the other??? aRGH….ok…thinking too much here,,,you probably don’t get what the Hell i’m talking about. You will, don’t worry. Like me, you will just have to wait. and pray. yes, pray with and for me/us. =) Thank you…….

Airport lights
We say Ibiza (E-Bee-ta), They say Evissa~ Airport Lights…

Hola!!! =) Back from Ibiza~ It was certainly nice to feel the warmth of the sun again. Sure, London has it fair share of sunshine, but NEVER like this. I tried to get a sun kissed tan but failed miserably. :( Was it that the suntan lotion that I put on was just too strong or that I was just too damn fair? Everyone there has such a lovely tan! And for the first time, I actually wanted to get a damn tan. Haha. The hours of lying on the beach was all gone to waste! *hmph* I think I need at least 2 weeks!

Lovely weather!
Oh how I have longed to feel the heat on my skin! No thanks to crappy London weather

Ibiza was one of those places where we thought we could only dream of going back then. If we never had come to London, somehow I don’t think we would be spending our hard earn ringgit for a holiday there. It certainly is a very expensive island! Our accomodation was cheap though!! Highly recommended! Will share that in a post of its own. =)

I have always always loved holidays to the beaches so I definitely enjoyed this one. We did nothing but relaxed and partied for the entire trip. No rushing to see certain spots. Just going wherever we wanted to go and seeing whatever we wanted to see. How I wish we could’ve stayed longer!

As it was summer time, the balearic island was buzzling with tourists! The area where we stayed at, San Antonio, was filled with British tourists. Ibiza town, about 15 minutes by bus ride away on the other hand, seemed to be filled with european tourists…In my own observation anyway. Funny thing is, there were like only 5% of the chinese that we spotted there. Imagine how we stood out from the rest!!

Travelling Ibiza was made easy as they provided us with frequent bus services. They provide a very useful bus timetable that you can either get from the bus station or the bus driver. Car rental is also available but only worth it if you were travelling in a group. You could also rent bikes and ATVs which WS was so tempted to rent! There are also boats and ferry that will bring you around from the ports. And the best part is, the usual bus services that brings you around during the day, automatically becomes a disco bus by night. I swear they call it the disco bus. Haha. Because of the ever famous huge clubbing scene on the Island, the disco bus mainly operates by dropping tourists at the famous clubs! A one way trip usually costs about 1.55 euro whilst the same trip costs 2.20 euro on the disco bus. Kinda cheap if you ask me. Oh ya, the lines to get on the buses were always long!! So we were always prepared and managed to get a seat most of the time! Hehe.

Food wasn’t exactly cheap., especially if you converted it back to ringgit. Thank god we are earning in pounds! Drinks in the clubs were over the top. Tauseef who joined us from Barcelona ordered a bottle of water at Priviledge and we got a shock of our lives when the girl asked him for 8 euros!! And it wasnt even a 500 ml bottle. It was, my friends, only 250 ml!! You would think it was some sort of holy water promising eternal youth!

Ahh….running out of time here!! Sorry to cut it short….All in all….Despite how expensive it was…I would definitely do it again within a heartbeat. Hopefully the next time we would be able to stay 2 weeks!! Can’t imagine how much thats gonna cost us!! =P More on Ibiza next~
