Motormouth From Ipoh – Malaysian Food & Travel

Wait, is this for REAL? Half year on, and I’m STILL rambling on and on about BALI?!!!!

Yeah yeah … I heard you groaning back there. But after a cringing 3 months of hiatus, I’ve decided to bring closure to the BALI 2009 SAGA before my memory fails me in a complete whiteout episode.
