I'm like half wanting to write this post now but half of my mind is FASTER PUT THE DVDS IN THE DVD PLAYER!!! My mum took the effort to go to jp to help collect my dvds from singpost which we missed the delivery when it came last sunday as all of us were shacked in the room watching naruto! HELL YEAH AFTER THIS IMMA WATCH SOME DVDS!!
Fun, Joy, Laughter all happened in that short 2d1n vacation to batam with the 2 girls! first time ever we went on a vacation together and that weekend will always be one of the most fun vacation i've ever had! Super impromtu us, decided to one day on watsapp say: eh go batam. then all of the sudden, our ferry and hotel were booked and we were ready to take off in like a few days times HAHAHA!
Kind parents fetched us to the ferry terminal as our ferry in the noon when everyone is already awaked kekekeke! Stupid ginny la give hint to my father cause suppose-ingly both ginny and jiaying have never seen our car before but when we drove to fetch them they waved to the car and my dad was telling me: why they know what our car looks like ah i never drive them before? i had to reply: you drive so many of my friends you ownself also dont remember HAHHAHAH shhh we 3 will take our midnight "secretly drive out" secret to our graves LOL!
Was still slowly strolling, buying mac, and all of the sudden the monitor shows: Batamfast to batam centre last call. FUCK! We 3 ran like mad to check in!!! Never once was my departure a smooth one seriously! Hence, we 3 had mac inside the ferry we must have made other passengers jealous lol they were looking at us as we were eating
Mandatory shot of the sea and sky whenever you're in any transport you dont usually take! but seriously the clouds in batam feels very painted
Reached! Touch down! Batam time around noon, it was already drizzling when we arrived and drizzling when we left HUL! It seriously was like some bad omen! But we are too cool for that shit yaw! Still super love harris's service after so long they still provide the best service with the most friendly staff ever you can find! 3rd time in this hotel and will continue staying in this hotel whenever i'm here! As i've sent in my arrival time to harris beforehand, so our room was already ready and prepared at 11am instead of the usual check in time 2:30pm!
The moment we step into the room, me and jiaying hurried and rushed to the beds LOL and marked our territory that those beds are ours HAHAHA we totally pushed ginny to the extra bed at the window but actually all the beds are the same. Childish fights LOL!
Still amazed by the view no matter how many times i come!
Prepared ourselves and waited for isabella massage to call us and make our grand entrance in a chauffered car HAHAHAHAH! i forgot what we talked about but we were laughing at some china kpop channel and this jiaying keep refusing to leave the room, ginny still taking her own sweet time washing her idk what she washing also!
Isabella moved a few shops away from their previous one and this time their massage rooms are huge and private when previously it was like a shared room with strangers! Thumbs up for the upgrade, but upgrade also means massage price upgrade also lol it became like 1.5times more ex which we are damn willing to pay if you compare it to singapore. Good points- Private room, own toilet and bath bad point- NO CURTAIN so we can see each other naked wtfbbq ahahhahahah i saw them naked accidently when i turned i think jiaying had the most stressful time as she's in the middle lol!
OMG thinking back i think we're all stupid to go book the package please with body mask. freaking body mask they use the brush people use when bbq-ing corn those kind and when the cold body mask thingy went on your body i totally felt how chickens feel when they are marinated damn disgusting! I love the massage and the ear candle though! next time never take body mask people lol
awesome bathroom we all had a bath each after the massage
Ended aroudn 4pm and we were like so freaking hungry we skipped lunch and we 3 are like so picky in the end we chose godiva cafe their food is good except i think the seafood platter abit wasted quite ex also but the fizzy drink,curly fries, chicken wings and my fried rice is daebak!
Jiaying and her tomyum forever seriously go batam also can let her find tomyum to eat. you see this tomyum like nothing and looks like it doesn't taste nice but never ever judge a book by it's cover ok! It taste freaking good. Not thailand kind of good but batam kind of good you get it? AHAHAH
Shopping time ftw! seriously nagoya hill mall improved sooooo much last time there was seriously nothing but this time the whole mall like went through a transformation please we were sooo caught up in shopping ESPECIALLY AT REVLON AND MAYBELLINE that we unanimously voted to skip our seafood dinner and shop instead too broke LOL! this trip made me see how shopper jiaying and ginny are i never thought they were the shopping type at all one
As our last stretch of shopping in nagoya, we went to stock up our supplies for the night in their hypermart! Everything can be found there it's just whether you dare to use it anot i bought like sooooooooooooooo many snacks sigh should have bought more they have more variety there sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
saw many kids touching the fries with their bare hands and playing with it like they're at some beach making sandcastle like that please! gross outtttttttt but i guess they're fine with it if they're fine im fine lol!
Bought a hugeeeee packet of jelly and when i went to weigh the jellies, i was so shocked that the whole bag of jellies only came up to be like $2 SGD LOL! Best buy ever jellies imma fill my whole luggage next time lol! Durians were cheap too we 3 had the itchy urge to buy it seriously but then cannot bring to hotel sigh
Mad?
Driven back by isabella massage to our hotel and were greeted with a card and complimentary fruits by harris!
