I'm here to update with peek-tures from BATAM! :)

I go back to Batam like going back to my second home because that's where my aunts live. So everytime I go back there, I will seize every opportunity to drink my juice apokat (pardon spelling errors) and nasi padang, penpek, tekwan, teh botol and lots more! *hearts*


Ahhhhhh. Missing it already. T_T

Day 1

On the ferry don don & zx


zx & zhiwei



meeeeee


ling & kok kok
oops.


just reached hotel!

For the 3 days, we stayed at Goodway Hotel. Well, on average it's pretty okay for a short trip and the whole trip only costs 128SGD including ferry tickets and accomodation.


First stop lunch - Opposite Top 100 Mall




my favourite drink! (:
juice apokat


Next stop - Guess where?


NBA future stars.

When it's my turn, I dunno how but I always
managed to look retarded.

* There were no signs of Ling and Kok Kok because after the fufilling lunch, the couple went to eat AGAIN.

Day 2

Wake up. Breakfast. And off for massaging! :)

For those who are planning to go Batam for relaxation, you don't have to spend over $70 to get a long, nice massage.

Go to Sport Massage Center, which is located at Nagoya, right beside Goodway Hotel! :) I did a 1 and a half hour massage for only 20SGD. Shiok!

There is also this internal joke because of the way the masseuse talked..."Harderrr, sir?"


before massage


after massage


Special requests card to specify the intensity of massage
you prefer.

Like a typical Singaporean, I koped these cards home. :D

Next stop was at Mega Mall! Everyone would know where it is because it is right opposite the ferry terminal at Batam Centre. You wouldn't miss it. :)

Lucky there was my aunt's driver to fetch us there, and we can save abit of the taxi fare, though it's not very expensive either.


me with teh botol! (L)


Ling, eating again!

Walked around the whole day and especially at Hypermart, bought lots of stuffs. Just realised a tube of Yakult costs less than $1SGD *fumes* and all of us bought at least a few packs home. Ling bought 1 carton home. -_-

I wouldn't mind living permanently in Batam seriously. Everything is so damn cheap.

After going back to hotel where we ate our porridge buffet at only $3SGD + , we took taxi to my cousin's place!


my cute niece angel & don don


angel & me
ahhh fugly hair


we were playing blackjack! :D
all busy counting $$$

Anyway, I think it's a law in Indonesia that one cannot gamble or drink alcohol, and you will actually get caught for doing so! Hence, have to do it secretly.


Messy hotel table, 99% of the stuffs belongs to me.
:x

Day 3


before leaving the hotel for
Batam Centre

Probably the only decent group shot out of the whole journey thanks to my not-so-camera-whores friends.


kok kok and zx


:( nooooooo


zhiwei & ling


camwhore queen


emo kia


feeling rich with these.
but then it's only $6SGD. wtf


goodbye.

So after the 3 days of elite lifestyle in Batam, I am forced back by reality into my peasant life here.*sigh*

Have been a busy week. And it will get busier. haiiiii~
