My birthday has been a day I looked forward to for the past few yeas because beside me, I have my partner with me. And for the past two years, my birthday was like double happiness for me as it was our anniversary date too ! It meant so much BUT this year was totally different. I am back to single life and I didn't want to stay in Singapore to think about everything so I decided to getaway for just a day. And I am so grateful that I had my very best guy friend to travel to batam with me! He has been my best friend for 9 years and counting, though we haven't been contacting each other very often, he still promised to accompany me to batam. And he paid for our trip as my birthday gift as he claimed that he is working and I'm schooling ! (:
We bought batam deals and it only included hotel stay and ferry tickets becasue we didn't want to go for city tour. We want to chill and relax ! That's our main purpose and so we took the earliest ferry there.
And yes yes, this is my best guy friend for 9 years and counting ! Shawn lee (:
HELLO BATAM !!! We stayed at Turi Beach Resort and so we alighted at nongsa terminal ! The hotel is damn good but there's really nothing to do there. And if you wanna go to the nearest shopping mall on weekdays, the cab fare is S$31-.-!
Checking in! We were too early and decided to walk around the resort first !
Yes, if you follow my instagram, you would have see this picture already. We were so tired walking around without our room and thus, I decided to take a rest at the hammock near the beach (:
In the end, The staff was so kind that they decided to give us our room 3 hrs before the check-in time ! Ikr, we didnt plan our timing correctly cause everything was like damn last min. This is the view outside our hotel!
CLEAN and SPACIOUS toilet !!!
My luggage for this short getaway ! (:
Me and my floral tube dress from korea ! (:
Got changed after taking a short nap as we were damn exhuasted ! And then off we go to our SPA !!
He did a whole body thai massage while I did a fruity scrub. Mine treatment was shorter than his and hence, I decided to head back to the hotel room to wash up and get ready for my birthday dinner!!
I finally got a chance to wear this floral dress which I owned for years ! Still loving it (:
First time having teppayaki ^^ WOW he purposely did this for the third time so I can capture a picture of it. The staffs were all very nice and attentive !
DAY TWO MORNING BEFORE LEAVING!
My hair was shorter then!
My first round of buffet breakfast (: The buffet spread was good ! HEHE!
Second round. Apparently I really love pancakes ! <3
After that we went to to bridge beside the beach for a walk to digest our food before heading to the pool to swim !!!
DATAIYANG ! I cant even open my eyes properly haha
Prepared for some volleyball session before swimming !! Damn long never play volleyball already !! Thankg od he is a vballer too (: Anyway, I didnt know how to swim but I really enjoy swimming at the pool because they have float for me so I was like a small kid according to him ! HHAHA I swam like ten rounds maybe? haha !
Went back to the hotel and washed up then prepared to check out ! Last picture at our room!
This is what girls always do ! HAHAH camwhore while waiting for our shuttle bus to the hotel.
One tone darker after the swim even though I applied sunblock ): I WANT TO BE FAIRER!
i think this picture is kinda cool ! He claimed that he is damn talented in taking photos hahaha!What you say?!
My arms look so much healthier in this picture (: Muscle!
Okay this post is damn lengthy !! And I personally feel that BINTAN is so much better than batam !! And I will probably go bintan again and not batam. Maybe phuket or bali soon (:
Can't wait for mum to be back from taiwan so we can plan for another short getaway, tentatively the plan is to go MACAU!^^
btw, I have launched the latest collection, SO SHOP AWAY ! <3
XOXO
