batam; over the weekend

batam: 12 -13 April 2008

im getting so reliant to the internet that everything is done online. put aside my scary online shopping, ferry and resort is all done online. hahaha.

our ferry got delayed for a whopping 1 hour. the resort had arranged to fetch us from the terminal to our resort within 2 hours. but however, our ferry was delayed, thus we missed the arranged transport. but we were lucky enough as the terminal people called our resort and we were chaffered there! haha

we took the cabana room. it was so pretty! we have an extra resting area outside, and it was so close to nature feeling. haha

my lovely fren got me an amulet before i left for singapore. well, it didnt really 'worked' as my fren prayed that i will not suffer gastric throughout my trip there. however, before reaching batam, my gastric reacted, and it was way way terrible. it only got better after i got to my room. haha. but still, it's the thoughts that count, i did have a safe trip anyway =)

we then booked the bus trip down to nagoya for SIN5 per person. the journey was about half an hour there. u can expect it to be a bumpy but yet sleepy ride. haha. had our lunch at the resort itself as the bus ride is only available at 2pm, indonesia time. which means, 3pm, singapore time. we did have a lil prob trying to get the time correct, but soon, we got used to it.

i was served with knife and spoon?!?!?

fireman took carbonara, one of his all time favourite. it was not too bad, just that the lady didnt like cream base. haha

pan fried fish wrapped in cheese. it was lovely, minus the fact that i took out all the cucumbers and capsicum. haha. but the sauce cooked in capsicum was real good =)

let me give u a tour around the resort.

H Grill in the day.

H Grill at night

this was the resort that i used to stay the last time i was here.

Harris has won many awards over the years. this was just one of them only =)

this was like a lil chilling area outside our room. definately a good one if u come in a bunch of people, whereby u can just chill by the beach at night =)

yes, i was a lil crazy. i took all these myself. place the camera on the chair, set timer, run up the 'table', sat on the edge, and, ka-cha! pictures taken =)

i was so fascinated by the way the toilet is, thus i cannot resist taking dumb pictures in the toilet, by the toilet, with the toilet. hahahaha

the area whereby we hang out clothes was another perfect camwhore area. all i have to do is put the camera on top of the safe, jump onto the table opposite (which is where we are to hang our clothes), set camera on timer, and that's it =)

finally, we head out to nagoya~










and of cause...





A & W
how could i miss this out where it has already faced extinction in singapore!!!!

shop around for perfumes to get for my dearies. managed to get the elizabeth arden green tea that kristal wanted for such a mere amount! haha! Yang's davidoff echo for only SIN50, i got my burberry for SIN50, guess for jace @ SIN50... etc etc etc




headed to sports massage for massage. if u were given the rates
- 1 hr - SIN13
- 1.5 hr - SIN20
- 2 hr - SIN23





what would u take? hahaha! being a typical singaporean, i took the 2 hr at only SIN23 bucks la! traditional massage! wohoo~

headed to golden prawn for seafood






yes, a coconut that was as big as my head!





an all time cant be missed - kangkong






cereal prawns







fried rice

we ordered fish also, but too busy indulging in the food, we miss the fish in hongkong style. i know, we didnt exactly eat much seafood, well. i dont like crabs, cause they are NOT EASY to eat, same as lobster. maybe the next time i will. hahaha!.








breakfast at harris resort. and that kind of sums up my trip to batam over the weekends =)






yes, kristal dear. we will go together again. when u are free! which i think is unforeseen at the current stage!

night jogging last night as i felt super guilty for skipping my ballet on saturday. and i realised, my stamina went DOWN-SLOPE! running  a mere 2km made me breathless. thus i did some sit-ups which is enough for me to feel my stomach muscles working but not yet over strain them for ballet tonight. and as usual, my 14 flight of stairs before reaching my doorstep =)

n...

i feel good =)
