Deliciously Me

“Those wearing specs later must take off their spec. No sunglasses, necklaces, pens or anything dangling.”

We quickly removed all our stuffs while heading to the next tourist attraction, Pura Luhur Uluwatu. I heard about this beforehand from LeeMay and Lisa when both of them visited me few weeks ago, so I brought along my contact lens and wore them throughout my visit in Bali. If not for their warning, I wouldn’t have brought my contact lens along and would walk around half-blindly. Probably just a quarter-blind as my eyesight isn’t that terrible. Haha.

Then Yoga turned to me and said, “Must remove your earrings too.”

Shocked I replied, “Huh? Earrings also need?” as I can’t imagine how the earring can be taken off easily.

“The monkeys could easily take it off without you realizing. They’re very quick!” he said.

I quickly took off both earrings and necklace; leaving only a much secured hair band to tie up my hair as I didn’t want the monkey to mess up with my hair.

As Ailing, Lasker and Steven wore specs at that time, they asked if there’s another way to secure their specs. Yoga suggested using rubber band, but since we didn’t have that so he asked them to hold on to their specs whenever they see a monkey coming near.

Steven suddenly asked, “what if they managed to get that from us? How to get them back?”

“Then you have to bribe them with food or something else for exchange,” Yoga said with a laugh, which made everyone laughed too.

Steven replied, “aiya… then we should have get the bananas just now!” and all laughed even harder.

Soon we reached the place and just as we were about to get down, he asked us to leave everything in the van if possible. So we did, except for the DSLR hung around our necks and wallets and passports where I put in Sat’s pants’ pockets.

The sky was quite dark at the time we arrived, and I was hoping that it wouldn’t rain.

We then went to the side, where those wearing pants or skirts above knee lengths need to wear sarong to cover their legs. The lady there didn’t want to give me a sarong initially because my dress is long, but after few persuasions, she wore for me! YAY! Damn happy that time.

Then we quickly took a group picture at the entrance.
