Conquering Fear like it was my JOB!!!!

So today my biggest challenge so far..... ( ps my fingers are totally shaking with excitement right now making it really hard to type!!) so- the MOTORBIKE!! I did it!! and who better to devirginize the driving of the bike then MEGAPUJ! haha here is how it went....

Mel is going to Singapore today for work so she had to go to work but wanted to leave her bike with me so she needed a ride and although i was like- er- what? you want me to drive it alone home?? so then megapuj steps up to the plate and says she will go with me so we can both die together:) haha

good thing tim was asleep- not sure he would have been as happy that puj and i were jetting off alone on those things! but we did it!!! and only with one minor, well possible accident! but it was into eachtoehr- the turn into our house is the hardest part of the whole ride! its like crossing a major road of traffic and then up a hill and meg and i got lucky and some truck stopped for us but then meg stopped at the top of the hill as i was 'caneing it up the hill' and i alsmost smashed into her! but phew- unscathed:)

so freedom is mine! i have mels bike for the weekend and well- who knows what i will do with it! haha- actually ( sorry mom and dad) but i think meg and tim and i are headed to the tattoo plae today! ill take pictures if it actually happens...ten years ago and i still remember the searing pain that made me almost break mels hand:) but hey- conquere those fears:)

last night we ate at warung mura again- hmmmm for 1.50 its like having all of our best singapore amahs cook a huge seletion hhaha( except better:) meg and i tried to hit the go button and ordered arak madu's- arak is a balinese alcohol i think its like a rice wine of some sort .... it was kinda like drinking sun tan oil really....but we had two anyways:) sick!

then to Ku De Ta - we spulrged on 10 dollar drinks ( one each, dont get crazy!) and enjoyed the amazing view of the beach.....we tried to push through and head out to kuta but us oldies decided our beds were better:)

however, i am learning a new skill- twirling fire! apparently i am a fast learner and as mel and jon say "a natural" which can only be because of my carnival-people-bakground. see ally, small hands will come in handy one day ( you like that one dad??) haha so yeah mel taught me some new triks to practice and ive been working it out ( no fire yet, just the poi- maybe next week i will conquer the fear of burning all my hair off;)

and yesterday Guru Puj led a Bikram yoga class for me aand Jon in our house! it was hard! sweaty and painful but felt feally good afterward! she had an I pod recording of the Guru Bikram leading the class whih caused a couple giggling fits because he was being really mean to this one girl he called 'sweetheart'...apparently 'sweetheart' couldnt find her ankles ever....haha

sore and happy this morning! took some pics off the house but i forgot my connector cord to upload so maybe tomorrow:)
