standing at the swinging door of the room.. heres how the living room looks like
and heres the swinging door view from the bed

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
.
.
.

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

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
