Bintan


Just came back from my Bintan trip. My whole body is aching.. Arg!! We book Bintan Lagoon Resorts and the rooms were beautiful. The hotel service were great too. Sadly, I didn't took any photos from the beach.

Yesterday was a great sunny day. We went swimming at the beach and afterwards, we went for banana boat ride. The capsize is the most exciting part of the whole banana ride, the first capsize we were thrown off into the sea. The man had a hard time pulling me and Miss Fong up, this is because we were too heavy. Haha! Coming to the end of our banana ride, the man actually wanted to give us a second capsize, but we girls just kept yelling and screaming when the man drive a little faster.

After our banana ride, we went kayaking. As we had odd numbers in our group, I had to kayak alone. So sad, have to kayak myself, it is so tiring. Well, we didn't pay for our kayaking activity. We didn't managed to ask for discounts, so they give us complimentary for our kayaking. We had fun and had a great time playing. As for me, I was way too hungry after playing so many activities. This is because I didn't had my breakfast since I wake up at 5.30am and we had cup noodles for lunch at 2pm. Play and play, no need to eat already. haha!!

In the late afternoon, the girls went for a spa. And for me, I stay at the hotel watching tv programmes and sleep like a log~ So, something happen to Miss Mimi after the spa treatment. Sadly, I'm wasn't there to watch. Haha. What I heard from them is that spa were great, maybe I should try it if I had the chance again.




What's for dinner?


We had buffet dinner at Bintan Lagoon hotel. The food is so-so and it is quite expensive, around $50++ per pax. We were quite boring and decided to go walk around. Amused by the sheesha displayed inside the pub, we decided to walk in and give it a try. We ordered the strawberry flavour and everyone take turns to pose for pictures and smoke. That was really very funny and many who walked past us kept looking and wondered what we are doing. We smoke for a very long time and it don't seems to finish, smoke till I find that I had a little hard time breathing.


Everyone were tire, so we decided to buy take away beers and play heart attack in the room. My hands were painful due to the sun burnt I had during the day, with the additional of heart attack game, my hand hurts more.

When girls starts to play heart attack, don't ever let your guard down. This is becuase they will not let you go easily. At the end of the game, my hands were burning red, reminds me of lobster. Sob~

I bought heineken and it is so gassy.. Can't even finish 1 can. Drink half of it and then brush my teeth. And off I go to sleep. ZZzzzzz...


What happens Today?


It was pouring in the morning, we thought we might have to miss our snorkelling trip. Luckily at 10.30am, the rain has stopped and we can go snorkelling~ I prepared my disposable water sport camera.

So, what happens at the sea? When we were snorkelling halfway, our Miss Mimi starts to feel nauseous. and after that, unknown white substance flow out from her mouth. OMG!! She VOMITTED!!! Oh no!!! To the fishes in the sea, SWIM FOR YOUR LIFES.

After our snorkelling trip, we went to Oleh Oleh pasar. Nothing much to shop and it is very far away from our hotel.

So, what am I doing up there? Posing a picture with the mask. Haha!!


Our birddy here, chirping around collecting honey from the flowers.


Our little kitten here is so cute, I just want to bring it home. From the picture, the kitten looks big. In fact, it is actually very tiny and it looks very fragile. My friends and I love it.

Overall, we had a great time together. The only thing is that there are very limited things you can do in Bintan, and the good thing is, you don't have to change currency. The bad thing is, everything is expensive as they charge you in Singapore dollars. I personally think that spending 2 days is more than enough.

Those who likes adventures or water sports should go for the banana ride, or snorkelling. You can also swim or kayak if you want, and also jet ski. But jet ski is very expensive, inflation of petrol? I'm not sure though. There are spa, massaging service, as well as visiting orang utan or komodo dragon. It rather hard to travel around as resorts are surrounded by forest. Unless you book a cab, and they will drive you to whichever place you want to go.
