A song I learnt in Bali

Our tour guide, Alit asked me teach him a mandarin song entitled "The Moon Represents My Heart" in mandarin which is " Yue liang dai biao wo De xing".He said this song is very popular.So we wrote down the romanised lyrics for him.He also requested for the song "Lao Shu Ai Da Mi", in English which translates " Mouse Loves Big Rice". Alit wanted to learn these two songs so that he could entertain his future chinese clients who come to Bali.

In return, I asked him to teach me a Balinese song. The title of this song is"MEONG MEONG"
Here it is:

MEONG-MEONG, ALIH JE BIKULE
BIKUL GEDE-GEDE
BUIN MOKOH MOKOH
KERENG PESAN NGARUSUHIN

Which translated in Bahasa Indonesia goes:

Hai Kucing, Tolong Tangkap itu Tikus
Tikusnya Besar-besar
Lagi Sangat Gemuk
Seringkali Bikin Ribut

Alit said this song is sang while the mothers cradle the baby or young children to sleep, which is a lullaby.

Where to buy cheap DVDs and "The Notebook"


Two days ago, I watched "The Notebook" at the comfort of my home.I had bought it from Bali, Kuta area.Near my hotel at Aston, a 4 star hotel. Among the movies I bought were Avatar, Ups and He's just not that into you.The price is Around RM4 per DVD, half the price in Malaysia.Somemore, they have this offer, Buy 5 free 2, Buy 10 free 6(Very worth it!) So, ppl go bali and buy lots of DVDS!Hehe...
The notebook is a really touching story I almost cried.It was true love and enduring love shown.I recommend this movie to all couples or singles looking for love.The character "Allie" is a very beautiful young woman, played by Rachel Mcadams and "Noah" by Ryan Gosling.Watch it yourself and you will give two thumbs up. Good acting acompanied by great story line, this is what makes this romantic movie worth watching.For those readers who have watched it, do leave a comment of what you think of it.I'll be happy to hear review from others too. I myself is a romantic person.Everyone needs love.In fact,we would die without love.E.g:If your parents don't love you and mistreat you, you will feel like life is not worth living.In short, love makes the world go round.

Me and the Sunset

Overall, Bali is a nice place to visit, especially the view which is breathtaking.The culture there is rich as well.The people there are friendly, and it is safe to go out jalan-jalan at nite coz there are no crimes.But in KL, if you walk alone at nite on the street, you are in danger of snatch thief and robbers.We bought 17 packets of garlic peanuts to be distributed to relatives and some small souvenirs too.The key in buying souvenirs is to bargain half the price the they offer or lower.
