last weekend, 4 days... no make it 6, we had a trip to batam, indonesia. from what i am informed, this is the nearest indonesian island from singapore. the ferry travel was only 40-45 minutes. i was sleepy 'cause had to wake up early and the night before i had to pack and then euge played with the computer which made me sleepless.
at around 10 am- batam time, we arrived bay view resort. settled in our rooms and had buffet lunch and at 6pm batam time, had our buffet dinner at kelong restaurant. =) of course, in between the sumptuous buffets was fun fun fun under the sun.
(a) i teased a parrot or was it a cockatoo (who knows the difference?) with my purse, i didn't stop even if its beak dug a hole in my purse. =)
(b) we hit the beach, although it wasn't as nice as the white sands of beaches i've been in the philippines, it was still nice to have picture galore with friends. unluckily, no banana boat and jelly fish made it not possible to snorkel. so we booked jetski instead. it was thrilling! but when euge hits the gas, nyah!!! and the body of water surrounding me and seeing the nearest island is far scares me. in the end, i attribute my headache to be caused by the jetski ride.
(c) then we soaked at the pool. as usual my nose hurt. no matter how i try, water gets in my nose. e ganun na tlga, me nkalagay 'ata na sign na daluyan. =)
it was really 9 ft, kaya mega kapit(d) we had a schedule for the spa at 8pm. scrub-steam bath-shower-massage-facial-bubble bath-drink. left the spa at 11pm still wanting more.
then the next day we woke up early to save good seats too bad the tour guide assigned only spoke chinese so they had us transferred to another bus with english speaking guide. had our lunch at golden prawn. the concept of the restaurant is the same as dampa, built atop the fishpond. then we visited batam's megamall, sigh, nothing beats mega A and B. =) we also queued for the j.co donuts which was recommended by most singaporeans, it is a must to buy the donuts. hekhek.
off we go to the ferry terminal, sigh, no queue so it was a race to good seats. anyway while waiting for the ferry, euge got his loot... kaching
i am saving the photos. i want to play with them first. harharhar
