Can’t Find Julia!

Ever since it was confirmed that Julia Roberts would be filming in Bali for the film adaptation of the book “Eat, Pray, Love”, everybody in my office started to talk about it. Though we’re not in Bali, we’re in Jakarta, but our company have several assets there and regularly send staff to Bali on office duty. So we were hoping that we could match our schedule there with hers. Who knew maybe we could see the pretty woman in flesh! Silly? I know!

I was actually scheduled to be in Bali next month but due to my maternity leave I had to handover my work to my coworker. In my “things to follow up” notes to my friend I jokingly added “find Julia Roberts and tell her I say hello ”.

Last night, my friend who replaced me sent a text message from Bali. I thought he was going to report about his work there. But no he only wrote a short message, “Sorry El, can’t find Julia! lol”.

Anyway, here’s the news about Julia Roberts shooting in a traditional market in Ubud, Bali. It’s in Bahasa though. It said that Julia was tired during the shooting because she had to repeat the scene several times. Apparently the local fruit sellers who played as themselves were too nervous to be in one scene with the Hollywood star, even though they were previously rehearsed.
