so last week... bbbb decided to take me on a short stay over at Batam (our second visit tgr) for some sun, water, seafood and a larger bed... (from squeezing with him in his single bed during my studying period)
.
.
.
.
.
on wanting to be the next best thing to a holiday, i volunteer to get everything done, he had the hotel booked (its Holiday Inn FTW) and i got the ferry book, clothes packed, and camera charged. .
.
.
bbbbb was suffering from a dizzy spell the night before and had taken half a day leave, i accompanied him to his family doc and had him sleep the night away...
.
.
.
.
.
next morning we took a train to Harborfront and had breakfast at Seah Im Marketplace (which i hate cos the air is humid and the food sucks)... but i was proven wrong by bbbb recommendation of a Lor mee and duck KwayTiao which actually tasted really good... go try them some day (but ta-bao pls... the air there tooooooooo humid... ventilation sucks too)

ok i am getting offtrack... anyway we soon arrived at Waterfront City (second ferry stopover... do not get down on the first -Sekupang Terminal if you are taking BatamFast)... Holiday Inn provide Shuttle services and it wasnt long before we were directed to our hotel room
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
it was the exact same room as per our previous getaway (when we first started dating two years back)... here are some pictures
new member of the room: a Ipod docking station to plug in and charge and blast music while pillow fighting with your other half
a huge mirror by the side of the huge bed... for cam whoring purposes

a swinging door to separate the room from the living room.. thre's bbbbbbbbb in another of his usual Jersey lying on the bed

a huge bathroom with equally huge ass mirror...

balcony from the living room... view oversees the pool below... ME LOVES!!!!

standing at the swinging door of the room.. heres how the living room looks like

and heres the swinging door view from the bed

the window by the room has this spendid view too!!!

bbbbbb jumping right out of bed to watch tv... his version of relaxing holiday involves- bed, tv, barefoot and lotsa of sleep if you ask me

so while he check out soccer channels outside here's my turn rolling on the bed,...

we spend the first day at Batam Centre- Megamall... the usual shopping mall you will visit if you drop by batam.. no pictures cos bbbbbbb forbids me from bringing the camera.... we came back to the hotel at 6pm.... and left the hotel to the nearby restaurant to tabao our dinner
.
.
.
.
fact: bbbbb and i do try not to eat out when we go on holiday to make full use of the facilities in the hotel.. hahah......
.
.
.
.
another fact: Batam Seafood is YUMS!!! here's some pictures to share...

from DELIMA seafood... operates by a chinese family... communication no problem


Nasi Goreng Belachan - Fried Rice in Chilli sambal...

Sambal KangKong

Nasi Goreng Special + goreng Ayam= Fried Rice special and fried chicken

Gong bao Ji Ding - dry chilli stir fried with fried chicken

Prawn Nestum - Cereal Prawn..
.
.
.
all that for a splendid dinner for the two of us.. no candlelight.. no specially dressed up (we worn our PJ for dinner)... caught the police show on Channel 8... slowly finished the food... ALL of THEM,.. haha.. and its bedtime.. now you understand what is meant by R E L A X I N G?!~?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
.
.
.

Next morning bbbbbbbbb was in high spirit and ding dang to breakfast *see what i meant>?


yeah... he really DING DANG over to breakfast.... and we had our breakfast by the poolside... nice!


i love the Hello Kitty button on my phone!

Soto Ayam is heaven!

introducing my new slippers which i love... especially when it matches my polka dot toe nails sooooooooo much!!


one of bbbbbb favourite breakfast - Typical Singapore old-skool style
.
.
.
fast forward to after breakfast for i was super excited about the swimming he promise to accompany me


but first bbbbbbbbb bought me to check out the indoor pool....




backup plan was to swim here if it rains.. heehee

back outdoor... i went to collect the towel for us

got into the pool in excitement.. den remember i had my hair clip on... which irritates me



"bbbb would you please leave it on the tanning bed plssssssssssssssssss?"

one more pic before he join me... no picture for a long while until i got up and..................
snap a picture of his headache face.... bbb has small eyes... i know you agree with me....tsk tsk tsk


picture jump in sequence... heck

the weather wasnt all that sunny.. but it also wasnt that dark in the pictures..

bf dancing in the pool.. haha mad cute.. he was swaying his hip left and right

view of the hotel from the tanning bed... pretty right? a little like a very well furnish Condominium in SG but what more should a HDB girl like me ask for right?
after the swim... we walk around the hotel .. not really sure on how to spend the afternoon... i remember tweeting about how we had both agree not to head out shopping on day 2 and to spend the afternoon slacking around.. i regret not long after.. and so did bbbbbbbbbbbbb
.
.
.
back at the room... we were both bored of slacking so i called up the reception and learn that (yay!!!!) there was another shutter bus due to leave for Nagoya Hill at 2pm... we got a slot and immediately prepare ourselves... haha... #fickleminded)



it was quite far from 2pm so we check out the hotel lobby instead.. haha...
.
.
.
.
desperate to show you how the hotel look from afar.. i took a picture of the model that was placed there

some silly picture of bbbbbbbbbbbbb..... thats how a strict and fierce man loosen himself for a holiday....

posing like a normal couple... take #1


posing like a normal couple.... bbbbbbbbb smirk gave him away #2

haha
.
.

we then took a walk about the hotel to take some picture and to idle time away in anticipation of 2pm

decided to plait up my hair =)




he can never behave himself overseas... hahah

caught peeping at others' room...



took this picture cos it makes no sense... can you decipher what it meant?





<3

and then we made the LAAAAAAAAAMEST decision to head back to the hotel room to wait for time to pass.... hahaha.. who is as lame as me hands up!


played with the mirror while he watch Astroboy on StarMovie


i love my lips here =)

..........lazing bbbbbbbbbbb
.
.
.
.
after which 2pm finally came... we board the shuttle bus to Nagoya hill and first stop was lunch

toast with cheese and chicken floss....


curry seafood noodle... which i ordered and regret... bbb finished them up .... i dont take yellow Mee
.
.
.
.
not much shopping done there... in fact we bought nuttin =(
.
.
.
no money spent... no idea what to have for dinner (shuttle bus pickup was at 5.30pm but we were still full from lunch)
.
.
.
.
.
.
sadly left Nagoya.. exhausted from walking.. tad disappointed from not getting anything,,,


.
.
.
back at the hotel... bbbb had me choose dinner from BBQ-poolside, Japan-Teppanyaki-by-the-pool or DragonInn chinese cuisine for dinner......
.
.
..
but i wanted none of it (i am fussy i know)... =(

so after much dilemma..... i came up with the decision to eat from DeLIMA (dinner from last night) again!! haha...
.
.
.
he felt pek-check of course... but we end up paying only S$9 ALTOGETHER for dinner instead of the S$45 per pax dinner he had initiated...
.
..
bbbb i know you want me to be happy and to enjoy a good good dinner with you.. but didnt we enjoy the same.. with S$9 heeheehee. i am a thrifty gf and you are lucky!
.
.
.
.

so for only SINGAPORE NINE DOLLAR i came up with a wonderfully tasty dinner.. *sometimes i secretly think i think i can survive broke... heeheehee
.
.
.

fried kway tiao to share since we are full from lunch

baby Kailan stir fried in oyster sauce.. my favourite dish for the night!

and fu-yong egg!!!!! with prawn inside... i am smart!

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
dinner was as YUMS as previous night... bbbbbbbbbb was disappointed we didnt get to do a romantic dinner tgr... but we had dinner over tv show... and i believe he loves it as much as i did

poor boy concuss for the night............ he had a long day
.
.
.
.
.
.
next morning we had equally good spread for breakfast again... swim in the indoor pool... slack in the room.. and await time to pass... and before we know it, it was time to say goodbye



last picture at Holiday Inn before leaving for the Ferry

on the Ferry... we took a good nap... and it was Singapore it no time...
.
.
.
.
back home.. we went for dinner at Kim Gary again at vivo city..


and this marks the end of the batam trip (as you can see fro the last few picture.. i look really tired from the eye bags... haha)
