Trip to Batam!

After having only 2hours of sleep from the previous night,
I still managed to crawl up from my warm bed and went to bath.
It was only 6am in the morning and we started preparing.

Went all the way down to harbor front.
Had Mac breakfast before boarding the ferry.
The journey is around one and a half hour.




Reached there and was brought around by the tour mini bus.
Schedule was kinda packed & that we have very little time on our own.

1st stop : Branded Polo tee outlet. ( Not interested )
2nd stop : Cake shop to see how they make cake. ( Erm, okay.? )
3rd stop : Dry goods store. ( Bought something to eat )
4th stop : Biggest temple in Asia. ( Who gives a..Okay nvm camwhore there. )


5th stop : LUNCH at GOLDEN PRAWN restaurant. ( Seafood paradise ) & visited the mini house exhibition beside.






Finally we got to the best part,
6th stop : SHOPPING!!!~

But holy mama cow, we were only given 1 hour to walk around the shopping center called BCE or something like that. :X

And we had to proceed to foot massage.
90 minutes of foot therapy that causes blue-black.
Me don’t likey. -.-



7th stop : Another shopping mall called Nayago Hill. ( Biggest shopping mall in Batam )

Regardless it’s the biggest shopping mall; we were also given 1hour to shop in.
Couldn’t really see everything in the shopping mall.
Just walk by all the shops and grab things that are dirt cheap.



8th stop : Another temple called DUA PEH GONG.

Sorry not interested, so we went around the temple taking photo instead of making offerings.
But I did donate 200…Rupiah.
AHAHAHA I'M LIKE A RICH.



And finally we got to our hotel,
Which is a 4star hotel ( the most star in Indonesia ) with a lot of facilities.


Settled down and went for dinner at the hotel’s restaurant.

Had steak which might be the best steak I’ve ever tasted in the past 19 years.
:')



It was expensive and not filling. (But free. Included in the package.)
Therefore we took a free mini bus from the hotel to a nearby eatery for supper.

Had seafood which cost like SGD$2-3 per crab.
A small bottle of beer normally cost $6 in Singapore.
But over there, a big bottle cost $3 ONLY.

Gosh, 不喝对不起自己 !
Ordered one big bottle with a lot of food which cost less than SGD$20.



Back to hotel and had bubble bath.
I can say that the service there was worth 5 stars.
And the food wise will be 6 stars!

Slept at 12am as there is nothing much on at night.
They do not have night life over there.

Woke up at around 8am to go for breakfast.
Their time interval is an hour slower than Singapore so it’s a bit confusing.
(K, it's just me. I'm dumb.)

They served buffet for breakfast with a lot of choices.
Had a simple one and we went to check all the facilities out.
Didn’t play snookers because I suck at it. :X




Played ping pong instead.
Had to skip swimming, sauna and steam bath because I didn’t bring my swimming clothes.
=.=



But my boredom ends when the tour bus arrived and brought us to a new shopping mall.
Bought lots of stuff there!




Had A&W again and took the ferry home.

HOME SWEET HOME! ((:



Overall it was a pleasant trip with family and boy.

Oh, and not forgetting, adding on to my collection...
