Wooohooo~
Just got back from a short holiday at batam yesterday. The weather there was freaking hot but overall, it’s not a bad place to visit if you intend to go for a short trip overseas. So here’s the post on my trip =D
17th May 2008, Saturday
Woke up in the morning at 7am… Prepare myself, had my breakfast with my mum and left home at 8am.. boarded the train at 8.30 and reached HarbourFront at ard 9am.. went to the cruise centre and meet mie, row, zw, dia and yy at the mac donald’s for breakfast. Din ordered anything as i’m still having a sore throat and wasn’t feeling very well. after awhile, rac, jac, pw and berlinda came..
went up to the boarding area and saw a very long queue.. Our boarding timing was at 9.40am and the gate closes at 10.20am.. we’re still in the queue at 10am.. OMG! but luckily, we managed to get through without queing.. now, the custom area is fully packed and jammed.. at 10.30am, i’m still waiting for my passport to be cleared.. argh~~~ luckily the ferry delayed and i think they expect pple to be stucked in the jam…
finally, boarded the ferry at 10.45 and we left harburfront at 11am..
We reached harbourbay ferry terminal in Batam at ard SG11.45am ( batam timing is one hour later than Sg)
We got a free transport from the terminal to the hotel.. but as the check-in timing is BT1.00pm, therefore they dropped us at the nearest shopping mall while they send our luggages back to the hotel first.
We settled down for lunch at KFC.. their menu are quite different from us as they do not provide mash potato.. instead, they provide nasi (rice)… haha.. 2pc chicken meal with rice? they also provide bento set as well.. we ordered a total of 14pc chicken, with 4 rice and 6 fries. we went over to A&W and bought the curly fries over as well..
After lunch, we went back to the hotel to check in.. but only one room was available so all of us squeeze into a room first.
While waiting for the other rooms to be ready, we played heart attack and it’s so fun and exciting!! haha… lots of laughter~
ard an hour later, the other rooms are ready and they went back to their room.
After settling down, me, zw and yy went for massage while the rest when swimming…
At ard 7pm, we took a cab to nagoya food court for dinner. we split up into 2 cabs and the cab i took brought us to the wrong location.. grhzz!! so me, yy, rac and jac walked all the way to nagoya food court. luckily it wasn’t very far..
Ordered alot of foods and all of them taste great~
Each of us pay ard $4 for this sumptous dinner wahahaha~
After dinner, we went back to nagoya hill shopping mall as there’s a hypermart there.. we bought lots of stuff like tibits, cup noodles, daily necessities and more.. here’s what i bought from there
it’s DAMM cheap la~ hahahaha
went to bed at ard 3am and we need to thank MR MARC for torturing us… grhz….
