Bali was meant for my alone birthday retreat where I'll enjoy staying in the hotel, swimming at the pool, rest on the bed, stroll by the beach, complete a book by the pool/beach, massage and maybe shopping. I did enjoy most of it except the shopping part.
There wasn't anything fantastic at the shopping arcade across the hotel but there were tons of outlet stores. I've only managed to get 4 top to spare for the trip.
Browsing the other malls around Bali was a bore. Then again, I didn't really had the intention to shop so that was a good thing. However, I went a bit crazy while I was at the airport. I've gotten myself a couple of books just before boarding.
I've noticed the latest book purchase are black whereas the previous purchase were mostly white. This many book purchase, I can only start reading them once my exams are over. I just can't wait.
