The Batam Trip
Monday, May 19, 2008 8:29 PM

Day One

I arrived at Harbourfront at about 830AM and I still couldn'y get Yanping. She must have overslept. Received her call I think about 10AM and met up with Lindy and Jaye. We were scheduled for the ferry departing at 12PM. I was sleepy however I couldn't wait to reach there and get the day to start.

Yanping and I fell asleep on the ferry and it was a nice nap. We reached the Batam terminal at 1PM Singapore time. I was feeling hungry and as soon as we reached the hotel we girls had to get food in our stomach. A bunch of hungry girls don't make good company coz we are all groggy. We had to settle with eating at the cafe in the hotel.

After lunch, we slack in teh room for a while and made our way to the Tree Tea Spa to make our apa accpointments. We had about two hours prior to the spa so we head out of the hotel to explore.

We got someone to drive us down to the beach. I saw someone doing parasailing out at sea and we all thought that we should do so the next day. We then went back to the Holiday Inn resort and the gals headed to the jacuzzi before the spa treatment and I lay down on the sofa in my room to nurse a stomach ache.

We can only take pictures of the spa place from outside so this is what I could get

All for of us had an aromatheraphy massage and rose milk bath and it made me feel totally good after that. So refreshed and I was getting sleepy. But we had to get dinner. People have been recommending for us to go to a seafood place near the hotel so we headed there and had chilli crab. It was my first time cracking the shell of the crab to retrieve the juicy meat behind it.

After an hour and we had our stomach filled, we went back to the hotel and Yanping and I indulge ourselves to four hours of TV before we decided to knock off.

Day 2
We woke up and the first thing we did before breakfast was swim. Lindy and Jaye had a much better room. The balcony leads to the swimming pool!

We went for our parasailing, jet-skiing and banana boat ride. It was a mistake not bringing my camera along for the trip. Such a waste. It was really fun especially the parasailig. I have been wanting to do that but I couldn't get the chance when I went to Penang and Phuket.

It was all a rush and we took the ferry back to Singapore at 430PM Batam time. In al the tiredness, we manage to take some pictures in the ferry.
