Bali Hai! (Hello there from this quiet oasis in the Indian Ocean)

Just wanted to drop you guys a note.. been a long long while since I posted here. But so great here in Bali and well, I’m sorry I didn’t come here earlier :(. We’re staying at the Le Meridien Nirwana Bali Golf & Spa Resort . It was part of our time share program and found it through here.

It’s great so far, alternating with relaxing on the premises, doing a lot of spa stuff, golfing on the driving range, or hooking up with a cool local driver to drive us around to different parts of the island. We’ve seen Eastern Bali (Almapura area), Jimbaran Bay, Nusa Dua (where there are over 20+ top rate spas! and the 5+ Star hotels), Uluwatu and tomorrow we’re heading up the volcano to see Lake Batur and Kintamani (coffee plantations).

I feel better and more relaxed.. away from the stress and minimized the work stuff… it just reinforced the need to be out away from the cubicle/office/Dilbert hell and doing things the way I’d like…

Hope you all are well…

Fooled you!

Short post…. I spend most of my time on Facebook nowadays… so much simpler it seems to just go there.  Of course, it doesn’t hurt that they’ve got the awesome scrabulous game to get me hooked.  I need a 12-step program for that because I get quite irritated when I need to wait for others to play their moves.  Anything more than a day and I get grumpy…. It’s a sign of … something :s.

Getting ready to go to HK again… but am glad that I’ve got at least 10 straight continuous days in Taipei.  I’d been flying every week minimum 4-5 days per business trip.  Was way too much because couldn’t get any work done and totally not productive.  Frustrating to say the least and just barely recuperating. 

The purpose of this visit however is to prepare my move to HK.  Yes, I’m moving… B- and I have spent a lot of time scouring the internet for HK apts – both serviced and non-serviced types.  Fun, but realize now that we need to get on the ground and see in person.  The range is quite broad but we’re going to focus on the east side of HK Island (e.g. North Point, Quarry Bay, Tin Hau, Fortress Hill, Tai Koo, Happy Valley).  We may go out of the way though just for kicks. 

Love the March Madness this year!  Final Four will rock!
