{a getaway}

hello dearies! sorry for the disappearance. i went for a weekend getaway at bintan, indonesia with my family. it was nice. was instantly drawn to the turquoise beach, white sand and sea breeze.

nothing beats lying on a hammock the entire afternoon with a can of ice cold light indonesian beer, bintang.  the 5% pilsner has a malt and hop flavour. been drinking lots of those! we also celebrated my niece's one yr old birthday. hopefully the parents wouldn't mind me posting a pic or 2 of her in the blog sometime soon.

while lazing in our villa, the hubz and i caught into the wild that was shown in HBO. a film directed by Sean Penn. it had a powerful msg and probably one of the best movies we've ever watched. chris mccandles learns too late that one must love and fear nature in equal measure, and that happiness is meaningless without someone with whom to share it. love!

 the real chris mccandles.

there is a pleasure in the pathless woods; / there is a rapture on the lonely shore; / there is society, where none intrudes, / by the deep sea, and music in its roar; / i love not man the less, but nature more... / - Lord Byron
