Urgh my skin is peeling now, and i cant wear speg strap only tees.
On a happier note, the batam trip had been 3/4 comfirm. We just have not finalise the date. Why batam and not bintan? Because it is cheaper! That's the most impt. Both sgd and rupiah are accepted over there. Swee la. Unlike bintan. EVERYTHING IS IN SGD AND TOURIST PRICE. Even a magnum ice cream costs like near 9 bucks sing.
I went on net and came across this very nice batam resort, Turi beach resort. The pictures look very promising and i hope when we are there, it will be the same. I like the balinese style and everything i search for accomodation i will always find nice bali hut near the beach. (:
Bintan trip as promised.
The 11 of us set off on last friday afternoon to Tanah merah ferry terminal. It was my first visit there. Er I guess so. The journey took us less than 1 hour before we reached bintan. Fking excited when i saw the big big poster of ATV there. I was told we could choose the track, easy normal or advanced and we went on the easy one.
I took this picture! It looks so spooky like it is some place at friday the 13th the crystal lake but it is actually tanah merah ferry terminal. LOL natural born photographer or what. Herhh.The ride was quite fast. I barely doze off then before i knew, we had reached!
Arrived at Bintan lagoon resort. The staff welcome us by performing the traditional indonesia dance for us.
While waiting at the lobby for check in, we took a few shots + cam-whored. It was already 6pm plus indonesia time when we reached there. Fyi, the difference between spore and indo time is that spore is faster by an hr.
I love the room! We upgraded to deluxe garden view.
Esp this small little corner for massage. So cozy!
We were racking our brains where to go. They actually have mahjong there yknow! But it is expensive the rental and stuffs and go there play mahjong might as well stay at home. Most of the watersports are only available from morning till 4.30pm. So we have to wait till the next day instead.
We went for dinner. A freaking plate of mee goreng costs 20 plus bucks. Zomg.
After that went around the lagoon to take pictures and then shesha!
Saturday morning, after our buffet breakfast which was included in the package, we hit on with ATV and water sports! Been anticipating for it ever since the last tioman trip. :DDD
For ATV, it is SGD150 per pax for an hour. Expensive lor! And because of this, we could only play once. It was pretty thrilling and scary, i dont dare to go down slope cause i kept thinking that i will lose control and will topple over or sth. :/So everything we met a slope the guide would drive down for me. LOL.
The bike does not have any power steering, so it is quite hard to turn esp when the track is full of small logs. & the sun is so fking hot la, after this i got very bad sun burnt already.
Halfway thru, we came across this very beautiful beach and stopped by to take pictures. Our guide likes to take pictures alot! He took all of the pictures for us and demand that we took a self portrait each. lol anw we had fun with him being our guide.
Why singapore dont have beach like that? WHY?
Our guide, if im not wrong, his name is ahmad.
The aftermath of playing ATV, Snorkelling and Jet ski. Red like a lobster and pain like hell!
Didnt take any pictures during snorkelling and jet ski because very inconvenient. Snorkelling is SGD32 per pax and jet ski is SGD150 each per hour.
Snorkelling was scary. The person brought 4 of us in a motor boat to the middle of the sea. I began to panic after seeing it was all water with no shore. Then i wasnt mentally prepared and was looking down the water in the boat. The person just grabbed my life vest and threw me in. With so much fear at that moment i cried and kept shouting i wanna go back. Fucking scary lor, i couldnot find nicck and the waves kept pushing me away from the boat. :( But after awhile, i started to enjoy everything. yeah, first experience always sucks.
Jet ski was the best. Fucking shiok, riding on the waves. Damn addictive. Because of it, there we have the batam trip. :p
Back to the room to wash up and ready for dinner.
Nicck's mum in the middle and her sisters.
Was deadbeat after the dinner. The sun drained away all our energy so we had an early night. 
Checked out the lagoon at 2pm. But our ferry was at 630. So we booked a cab and went to pasar ole ole to shop. The taxi was not cheap okay. $80 for 6-7 pax. zzz. Really smart at ripping off!
He brought us to this small fishing village to eat cheap and fresh seafood.
Nicck and his mum.
We ordered so much food and it only costs $110. Cheap right?
Lodge by the sea, only ready next year.
After that the guys went to play go-kart while im in charge of photo-taking.
While waiting for the ferry, heading back home. Hope to go back there real soon. :/
