WeEkEnD In BaTaM

We bought a voucher for $168 from www.deal.com.sg and it includes 2 ferry tickets, land transfers, 1 night stay at Nongsa Marina point in a sea view room and breakfast for 2.
It was a very good deal! The normal rates for the rooms we stayed in are $340++ without ferry!..

This was the only date before 31 Jan that we could all make it and poor Shihao gotta work the night before. So we picked him from the airport at 930am in the morning and headed straight to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal.


While waiting for the ferry Shihao was eating his breakfast - a bao

Shihao was sleeping while we took photos during the ferry ride..
It only took us less than 30 mins to reach Batam

Kenny looks as though he just came from work too

We arrived there at 11am and were immediately allowed to check in!

very clean and white rooms

relaxing in the balcony

Since Shihao did not sleep the whole night we asked him to go take a rest first..
the 3 of us had nothing else better to do but to play 3 player mj haha
rented the table, chairs and tiles from the resort - $25 for 24 hours

A&W!! A must when we visit countries that still had it

I wish they will bring A&W back to Singapore

We shopped and went for spa. The 4 of us did body massage, body scrub and body mask each and the boys added on a foot reflexology and the girls wash and blow our hair. All that costs us a million rupiah = $140 in total!.. We will definitely be back again!

Seafood dinner near our resort
Sambal Chilli Crab!
There was also pepper crab, kangkong, prawns, steam fish, gong gong

and we finished it all!
Dinner damage was on $86!
