Batam Day 2 (TWO)!!!! at 2:42 AMHey people! I'm back! Im pretty free these days as the boy's in camp, so here I am, my post on Batam Day2. (when I look thru the pictures, it made me miss him even more.) I wonder how my baby boy looks like now? Is he tanner? Is he skinnier? Is he pimply now? KNITTING LOVE TOP IN NUDE WHEAT from FLYMETOPARIS!!! :) Have been modelling for them :) Love this knitted top soo much the first time I saw it, so I kept it for myself :P (I NEED MORE BLOGSHOP SHOOTS :( contact me if u need a model for your blogshop kay :P) Using the internet. We slept till 1pm, :p cos we were vvvvv tired. zonked out, so our plan to wake up for breakfast FAILED BIG TAIM. We managed to catch the Free Shuttle Bus to NAGOYA HILL MALL. Its like one of the Biggest mall in Batam? The massage there's the best, and very famous too!! MOST IMPT, ITS DIRT CHEAP. our Tourist-sy photo :p (oh boy, I miss you so.) We had our lunch at Golden Prawn 933 as we had ample of time to spare. Lunch was cheap and good too. Just a simple fare. The menu is EXACTLY the same as the other Golden Prawn's. Cam whore a little ♥ We had KangKong and Sambal Seafood fried rice. Quite good. Actually the package that we bought comes with a city tour. ya know, the usual boring city tour and have to rush here and there. Since we wanted a short n relaxing getaway, we forsake the city tour (not advisable to go if u're going to batam) n we have our free n easy time! Rushed back to the hotel to catch the shuttle bus. NAGOYA HILL MALL next. And here we are, at NAGOYA HILL MALL. Go new place must take photo one :p My sweetheart ♥ soooo loveeeeeee Roamed arnd, and we found something. .................. ............... ............ ......... ...... .... .. . LOL? IMITATION?? Got a little bored, greedy and tired. So we went to a cafe for some light snacks/food. @ Their laksa v special. Not bad, taste different from SG's. Meesiam's ermmmmm. weird? sweet n dry. its like 2 bucks per set I think. with drinks :) After our snack, we walked arnd this big and boring mall. There's nothing to do in Batam, but its the company that made it worthwhile ♥ Witnessed this raid or sth, there were media, journalists and some chief sheriff or sth? Curious ppl crowded arnd this dodgy "ARCADE" place: LAWLLLL. Ben 10? Being a typical Singaporean, my bf and I stood there to watch. We were curious ma, its so dramatic la. they pried the door open but caught no one, the criminals prolly fled by the time the authorities came. Bored again, we found this massage parlour that offers cheap massages for like 14bucks, 1 1/2 hours!!! Leg and shoulder. Just to kill time, we went ahead. Anyway, whats coming to Batam without having to try their Indo massage??? We had headphones on cos there's like a personal TV for each and every individual customer. I watched the Channel 8 show! haha! After the massage, we went for some cheap grocery shopping!! FRIES. LIKE TRUCKLOADS OF EM'. I found it rather unhygienic that there werent packaged properly but thrown in a "ice-cream" freezer for customers to choose like they're choosing fruits. ARGH. first world pains. A&W was next. We had it for dinner. As A&W's extinct in SG, which I have no freaking idea why, we just have to have it. I miss those primary school days when I can just have curly fries as and when I like. Dun nid to wait for MCDs to come out once a yr and go gaga over it. So indonesians!!! u guys are LUCKY man. Shared a meal, cos we werent hungry. but just have to eat A&W to relive the olden days. I sound so old. :x My conclusion??? A&W in Batam is not cheap at all. We went for another round of shopping, and headed back to the entrance to wait for another couple who's also fellow Singaporeans so we could share a cab back to the hotel. And we realised that we were cheated the day before. WALAO. so cheap la. Why we pay so much on the first day. Take it as a lesson learnt. For Batam, its just 50k Ruppiah for a trip back. Went back to our room to clean up and changed out to our gym attire. (LAME RIGHT!!! GO OVERSEAS ALSO MUST GYM!!!) Cos we had NOTHING to do. After gym, we went for a short swim. Actually, just to soak in the dirty pool. THE POOL'S REALLY FILTHY. can see the oil on the surface one wakaoz. After our gym and swim, it's supper time!! We went back to Golden Prawn 933 to feast. Chose our seabass, and what style we want it to be cooked in. a coconut bigger than my face, and it taste horrendous. WASTE MY MUNNY $#$^^@^* Pretend to drink, cos im taking a photo. Hotplate tofu, live steamed garlic prawns and sambal kangkong. the hotplate tofu tastes much better than Day1's. FEAST TIMEEE!!! :P The meal was really really cheap. Totalling up to like 20bucks only? walao. in Singapore, it would have cost us 80 bucks or mayb a hundred. strolled back to the hotel after a satisfying supper. Glutton me just have to snack again. :p and the alcoholic him (IKEED) just have to drink again. And this Bintang cost him 2bucks! I can total shower in a tub of beer cos its really cheap here. Singapore and the tax. :/ I rmb during beer fest, this cost 10SGD. :O:O:O This concludes my Batam Day2!! Hope I did give u an insight of how Batam is :D I'll be back again!!!!! :) P/S: Im glad I felt a little better, there's still 8 more days till I'm in his arms again. I really miss you baby. I really do. xoxo, eexuanthemaos Wednesday, August 17, 2011
BATAMMMMMMMMMMMMM! :D day1 at 3:53 AMA BIG HELLOOOOO!! im sry that i din have the time to post up my HK trip. becos it was a 6d5n trip n i have like 1k plus of photos, need to filter this n that so i din have much time for it :( n no, i dun photoshop cos i dunno how. To make it up, i shall blog abt my batam trip! :) Ppl always comment how boring batam is, bt i beg to differ. i thought that BATAM WAS AWESOMEEEEE. Yes, there's no shopping, u cant go crazy w ur budget like how u will in BKK, (actually there is... but...... ahem. the clothes are NOT VERY MUCH TO MY LIKING) the massage, nails extensions n hair treatments were dirt cheap!!! Its suitable for ppl who r looking for a short, budget getaway! n its the company that matters right? Excited us on board the ferry to Batam Indonesia :) I puked before boarding the ferry, bcos of the dam manual cab!!! Its so jerky that i suffered frm motion sickness. from then on...... I vow, nv to take manual cabs EVER. (bt ok, i just did, YTD. but becos i was in a mad rush. D: ) Welcome to BATAM! what an odd pic, :x ps. on the bus transfer to our hotel. :) The first stop, flying fox n the shooting range which were included in the package we bought from Deals.com.sg :) US Suprisingly n unexpectedly, the shooting range was fun? its like a paint ball shooting thingy, n i fyeahhhh, head-shot the HelloKitty thingy :D Blackshot mode activated. Up next, the flying fox. I couldnt do it becos of a few reasons.
ook. not few reasons, but 2(TWO). This boy went for a second rnd, he used my turn. Apparently, guys dun really care abt their hair cleanliness as much. BUT I DO. cos im a female. LIKE DUH. Full geared, n he's on his way to the "tower". HAHAH. he looks lk he's freaking out. N down he went. it was rather fast. I would have loved the ride if they provided cleaner helmets n also if i was in a pair of shorts. :/ Checked in the hotel after that. The flying fox n stuffs were just bside my hotel. Just so you know, during this trip, my bf and I were lodging in Golden View Hotel. Its a nice hotel, not bad facilities, it provides awesome svcs like a free shuttle bus to the malls. WOOOTS. bt at a stipulated timing only! A tourisy picture of me. We exchanged our bags as my bag was too heavy for me to carry. Our room, it was a corner room. And yay! It comes w a dining table n a pantry area. hahah! not v new, bt its not bad :} This was the dining table i was talking abt prvsly. We were famished as it was closed to 2pm (batam time, its 1hr earlier, which means SG was 3pm that time), n we had nothing to eat. I puked out the char siew bao i had in the mrng, so we ordered rm svc! it wasnt nice at all! the food taste so salty n the wings were cold. :/ but it was cheap n convenient!! oh ya, I did something super retarded. OMG. Bcos the currency in Indonesia is a huge amt, they count everything by thousands. I din chk my conversion card before handling the money. So when the rm svc man came, i tipped him 1k rupiah, and guess how much 1k was worth? 1cents (SGD) i tink? no wonder he looks rather puzzled n reluctant when he rcved my tip. I felt so sad for him. My bad. LOL. I wore this a couple of times alr :D hehe. We took the shuttle bus to BCS mall (Batam City Sq) tgt w another couple, Samantha and Joshua :) The streets in Batam looks rather rundown. Im thkful to be in SG, altho i complained so much abt the weather, but its human nature i guess? ppl nv knew what they had. I guess I'm rly lucky to be in SG, its not a perfect country to be in, bt definitely a comfortable country to live in. We were housed in proper houses, have clean water to drink. A govt that is not corrupted. The police force's not as corrupted as the stories i heard abt other nations. The citizens still live in Atap houses like our old kampong days. I guess that I'm just too pampered in the sense that I wont be able to live in such conditions. Its overwhelmingly dirty. #firstworldpains. And here we are, at BCS!!! I was frantically looking for an A&W but there no A&W in BCS. :( I miss A&W soooo much! the curly friessszxz. We searched hi and lo for the nail shop my friend recommended. Even contemplating to give up the idea and go for other shops, bt they quoted me ridiculous prices. but thkfully, we Finally found the shop!!! Did french classic pedi. I hasz manty dead skin. It feels so shiok seeing these rascals off my feet as the pedicurist deskinned my heels. (i sounded abt bizzare, i know :x ) Oh no, my eye bags :( I did the pink leoprinz n blingz. But i have to remove it soon. becos of my shoot this frid :( sigh! but my nails are in a pathetic state, bcos i was so chorlor n 3 of them broke. fml. My bf patiently waited for 4 hrs w me thruout my nails grooming session. So love. The final prod for my pedicure. French ftw! soaking, foot spa! ahhhh, I love batam. DUN JUDGE TYVM. The freegift from the nail salon. WTS. kiddish looking earrings. Who wants? can email me at eexuan91@live.com.sg. I can give it away. LOL. just pay for postage can le. HAHAHA! Loots below 10SGD. so EFFING CHEAP OMG. SG inflation too high alr. but becos of our standard of living! IM NOT COMPLAINING HOR, And, he's OBLIGED to take alot of photos with me. WHO ASK HIM TO LOVE ME? We headed for our massage next in the hotel. it was my virgin massage. FULL body somemore. It was rather awkward at first as we were instucted to strip. ok, till my panties. wts right? means the masseur can see my nehneh la? waaaa. i was kinda shocked. for guys still ok, as they always flash their upper bodies at home, bt for girls?!?!?! I was vvv reluctant, bt heck, since the masseur was a female. What she has, i also have k! its just a matter of size, thats all LAWLLL. Our massage was for 1hr, so we had ginger tea aftr that. I SWEAR IT SUCKS. it taste so weird. the cup was for bai swee only :P Well, massages ARE AWESOMERIFIC. I dunno why i was abstaining frm it prvsly all my life! WHY?! cos i was actually vvvvv scared of the ticklish feeling. When I was in phuket, the pedicure person tried to massage my feet n i nearly kicked her damn face. Over-reacting much. Was feeling hungry after the massage, so we had our dinz w the other couple (mentioned before), Samantha and Joshua at Golden Prawn 555. Ths restaurants, Golden Prawn 555 n 933 are located just right beside our hotel, n its a gd thing. This is why i love the hotel. So convenient. In batam, its not advisable to go out so late at night. U risk urself getting robbed. So thk god for seafood restaurants near our hotel! 933 was supposedly the famous seafood restaurant in Batam. :) But cos Samantha n Joshua will be having their lunch during the citytour the next day (which bf n i dun wanna join, its a complete waste of time, i prefer free n easy), so we have our dinner in 555 instead. All these triple numbers sounds like gang names. LOL. The restauran system goes like this, u can pick ur seafood from their "tanks", they'll weigh it n cook the seafood in whichever style u wan them in. but pls make it pt to cfm the prices w the locals before u actually order n all. specify how much u wanna pay for ur seafood. prawns, fishes n clams are charged by ons. aftrall, its stil cheap! Din have much cos Samantha n Joshua din wanna overeat, so we had a simple fare of Hotplate tofu, sambal Kangkong n scallops!! I dun like this dish tho. The scallops were awesome. Juicy n succulent. YUMZ. Im salivating. Its nice meeting new friends in a Foreign country. This is good too! After the dinner, we parted ways and went back to our hotel to retire. :) Brought my cute pair of PJs :D it was from an event i did for samsung! got hungry agn n we ordered room svc! this time we tipped the correct amt! hahhaha! my bf likes to do retarded faces. okay! im done for day1!!!! sry if this entry was kinda draggy! :/ Will blog day2 n day 3 soon! :D Will be featuring another blogshop thatn I've recently modelled for :) Staytuned okay!
