Lombok - Part 2 (Senggigi)

The Senggigi region is the main tourist destination on the island of Lombok in Indonesia. The main town is Senggigi itself, and the whole area is well known for its beautiful west facing beaches. Journey from Lombok International Airport will take between 60-80minutes and cost about Rp180,000(~US18) on a metered taxi.



As usual, renting a motorbike is easy to explore around. Rental is only Rp50,000 (about 5USD) per day. Petrol is about Rp8,000 per Litre.


This warung (small restaurant) gives out price tag to each dish you ordered. So when you pay, just bring all to the counter. Kind of efficient and easy ?? :-)

Lombok - Part 1 (Fishing Village)

Lombok is an island in West Nusa Tenggara (Nusa Tenggara Barat or NTB) province, Indonesia. It forms part of the chain of the Lesser Sunda Islands, with the Lombok Strait separating it from Bali to the west and the Alas Strait between it and Sumbawa to the east.

While in Lombok, (as usual) I made a trip to interesting places where I can capture some photos of the locals, in this case the fishing village in Ampenan - Kampung Melayu and Kampung Bugis (Kampung means village in local language).




The boys caught some hermit crabs and they were so excited to have a race... pretty interesting indeed...

心中的日月 Sun and Moon of the Heart

To many, Shangri-la simply means "Heaven on Earth".
Shangri-La, or Shambhala in Tibetan, means the sun and the moon in one's heart.




手中握着格桑花呀 美的让我忘了摘下
你的真带着香你的香会说话 你的话好像只对我说
我的专长叫做流浪 你注定要为我绽放
我的心寻找家我的家没有花 我的花却在这山谷等着我

若一开始没有上帝暗中偷偷的怂恿 我们怎知选择相逢
你是心中的日月落在这里 旅程的前后多余只为遇到你
多么想幻化成为你脚下的泥 此刻的无人山谷仿佛听见说爱你
你是我心中的日月光芒

我的漂泊不懂泥巴 你的美丽不堪动荡
你单纯我迷惘你恋家我流浪 山谷中这一切带不走
你爱抬头拥抱阳光 我得眺望下个前往
我走开你留下我回忆你升华 至少我们会仰望同一片天空

若一开始没有上帝暗中偷偷的怂恿 我们怎知选择相逢~喔
你是心中的日月落在这里 旅程的前后多余只为遇到你
多么想幻化成为你脚下的泥 那天的无人山谷(那一天)仿佛听见说爱你

置身在传说中人间天堂 你是我心中的日月光芒
带领我找到你的芬芳 放不下
你是心中的日月落在这里 旅程的前后多余只为遇到你
多么想幻化成为你脚下的泥 那天的无人山谷仿佛听见说爱你 那天听见说爱你

马年行大运,吉祥,平安
