I go to Bali 2-3 times a year to buy stock.
Word gets around that i am going and any friends who want to join tag along.
November 2000 trip was planned, friend wanted to come (no problem) then her sister wanted to join us (but couldn't get time off work when i wanted to go, so i begrudgingly? agreed to bring my trip forward to please everyone) anyway long story short we soon ended up a group of 8.
So i arrive in Bali first as i flew in from Cairns (the rest arrived that night from Brisbane) and head straight for Matahari Supermarket (jl legian) to buy supplies and heres my very first true love (when i was 12) coming out of the supermarket with wife and kids. After initial shock of seeing each other (and wife not impressed) we went our separate ways.
12 months later my phone rings and guess who it is?
We have now been together for 5 years. And heading back over to Bali this weekend.
So if i had gone to Bali when I wanted to, we never would have bumped into each other.
Or if i flew out of Brisbane instead of Cairns direct and arrived later.
Or if i decided not to go to supermarket and have a swim instead.............
