Batam Getaway!




OK. finally i'm here to blog about my batam trip on the 14-15 august.
before that, i just changed my blogskin! haha looks more simpler now i guess.

14 Aug - Day 1.
Our ferry ride was at 920am, so we meet @ 730am @ harbourfront!
As any other younsters do, we ate macs for breakfast. HAHA.
Then checked in early and was at the waiting area to board the ferry.
The ride there was alright, no guiddiness =)

Once we reached, there was a transfer from the ferry terminal to Harris Resort.
The space in the bus was quite small but luckily for us it was just a short ride there.
Upon reaching, we checked in, left our barang barangs inside our rooms and headed out to play water sports!
Not cheap. S$50 for Parasailing/Water Ski/Banana Boat. and we paid an additional $3 for kayaking.

Bathe and we headed out to the city's shopping mall, Nygoya.
Of course we ate A&W! The fries is the nicest!
Then guess what, we shopped at their supermarket and bought lots of karopok. HAHA.
Bought Kueh Lapis as well. YUM.
Dinner outside was great. Dont know what that place is called but is near Nygoya.
I got addicted to their chilli =P

Headed back to our resort, then went for our full body massage.
Only me, YS and Zoey had the massage, Joc and Chen changed theirs to foot reflexology.
The massage was alright, just that i keep hearing my bones cracking sound. (like you know crack knuckles kind).
YS keep laughing 'cus she finds it too ticklish! Actually me too but i just tolerated it. BUT her laughing is contagious. HAHA. so ended we kept laughing for a moment.

Headed back to our room after massage, bathed, and cooked cup noodles.
Seems like everytime when going overseas will buy cup noodles and eat huhh.
Yup and that's the end of 1st day =)

15 Aug - Day 2.
Woke up to have breakfast at their cafe.
It's buffet style and the varieties are there.
BUT their coffee and tea taste weird. yes i mean real WEIRD.
Then after breakfast, while Joc and Chen had their foot reflexology, the rest of us cam-whored and did funny faces.
Then we had to go check out our rooms. Since it wasnt time for us to go to the terminal for our ferry back to Singapore, we headed out to the city again, this time another shopping mall (which i forgot the name >.<)
Didnt buy much stuff, but we shopped at their supermarket again.
haha that's the best place to shop out of the whole shopping mall when you dont want to spend alot. Because it's really cheaper than in Singapore.
Then back to our resort to collect our bags we deposited at the reception counter, and took their transfer to the terminal, and back to Singapore.
And did i mention, this is the first day of school and i missed it!

YUP that's all for the trip =)
More travelling next time!

Gosh it's getting late. Oh ya and still have Bash and D&D '11 that just past on 20th Aug and 27th Aug respectively.
Well, i guess this post will get to lengthy if i continue so those memories shall stay in my mind and heart without writing them here. =)

That's all for now. Hope i'll write more often! Goodnight!
