Batam Beckons

Ah, finally managed to upload all the peektures! Took me while ><

If you've been following me on twitter and Pudding_to, you would have known that we took a little break over the weekend and headed to Batam!
Don't expect too many photos esp. on Day 2 as this is my first trip with this group of friends and I don't want them to have the "everything also want to take" impression :P
For those of you who are interested, our package was booked with Asia Travel (:
$85/pax - 1 night at Holiday Inn Resort (2 Bedroom Suites) + Ferry Tickets

*Spot the man looking at the cards behind FK and FZ. He has this can-I-join-in-the-fun face! Hees, cute!

Yippedoo, arrival at Waterfront Terminal ^^

Waterfront City, Batam.
Quick shots while waiting for the rest to clear custom checks (:

Outfit of the day
HH 2-Pocket Military Chiffon Top - Blue
Pull and Bear Denim Cuff Shorts
Anya Hindmarch I Am Not A Plastic Bag
Ready in 1.2.3..
(From left to right) MY, DS, FZ, FK

Group shots with more peeps!

One of the many rooms (but only one with king size bed ><)
The suite came with 1 room with attached bathroom + 1 twin-sharing room + 1 common bathroom + kitchen + dining room + balcony.
View from the balcony.
WHY YOU TWO SO EMO? :|

Complete group shot!
Love is all around (Y)
Our schedule was very flexible. Had a few options to play around and we decided Go-Cart as our first activity of the day!

Us! <3
Was tricked to think that it will be a "short" walk to the Go-Cart venue haha! But no complaints with the company present ^^

I can't exactly remember the charges but I think it's about Rp200,000 for 15mins?
Reasonable for first-timers but the tracks and vehicle condition is pretty old. Nevertheless, still very excited on my first Go-Cart experience!
All geared up!
Images captured with them in action!
*Spot the mini collision in Picture 2!
We had to split into 2 groups. So while waiting...Camwhore (:
Individual couple shots ><
Doesn't MY and DS have 夫妻脸? I thought they do.

Finally, our turn!!
This is hilarious. My engine died on me twice on the tracks #Embarrassing!
My thigh muscles were aching right after due to the balancing of the accelerator and brake concurrently.
Headed back to the hotel for a dip in the pool.
Just in case you are wondering where are the rest, they were playing table tennis in the Games Room.

A mini-fantasy island we found within the hotel!
The boys had so much fun haha

Check out the various poses #ActMacho :P

All nice and fresh after our shower, we headed nearby (As recommended by FK) for seafood dinner!! Whee ^^
Dinner setting with such a spectacular backdrop, what more can one ask for?

We were SO hungry that we ended up ordering like 15 dishes in large portion somemore:|
Emphasis on "so" because we decided on having a bigger breakfast in Spore rather than have another meal (lunch) in Batam :|
The food was gone within seconds upon serving but food is really fantastic! (Or was it cause we were too famished? o.O)
Not expensive too! We paid less slightly less than SGD20 for so much food.

After dinner, it was KTV session for the next 3hours continuing with post drinks in the room :|

Rise & Shine to DAY 2!!

We headed to Isabella Massage for a 2hours (1.5hours massage + 0.5hours scrub) session. Still think Sport Massage is much better in terms of skills.

Crossed over to Nogoya Mall to get our ALL TIME FAV lunch.
A&W!! ^^
(Right) JT and MY looking very satisfied hees!

Byebye BTM! We'll be back again!
