It is a long while that i didnt update. I was overwhelmed with many matters.
6 Jan 2011
I had a wonderful anniversary. Dear booked a getaway @ Batam (again) to have a celebration. 2 days before the actual day, he informed me to pack my bag. Then i realised his big plan for our anniversary.
It was 3D2N holiday at Golden View hotel package with land tour, seafood lunch and hotel dinner.
Dear woke me up early morning. I was totally excited until that i didnt sleep much on the night before. He picked me up and drove to the pier to check in and have a quick mac breakfast.
Aboard the ferry without taxes. I wonder why.. Tot that im very lucky as they forget to get us pay.
Arrived at Sekupung pier. Quite a crowd alighted. Saw a couple with our same travel agency invoice. When we stepped out from the custom, i cannot see any bus to fetch up to hotel. I saw those ppl who have same tag and one of the couple who had the same invoice as us, were approaching with a local tour guide.
I approached the tour guide and we are in her list. Haha.. dear nvr read properly that we will be fetch and paid the taxes to local tour guide.
I didnt slept well and tot i can go hotel room to sleep and go shopping. Ended up we are struck with a land tour. Intially i tot it was a half day tour.. so i decided to bear with it.
Tour guide brought us to Guan Yin temple, Polo rapuln shop, local tibits shop, Truly Fashion Outlet, miniature park, go kart, lunch at Golden prawn 555, batik shop, some temples and shopping at BSC. SOme tourists wanna go massage and arranged them to go a massaging center @ a hotel. Dear and i felt that the price is too pricy and didnt went for it. Rest of us who dun not want to massage went to BSC to shop.
Dear and i had good time in the BSC. I like the place as there are many stuffs, esp ladies product to buy. Dear felt it is abit boring for him. Nvr mind, i still dragged him to shop with me. =P
We liked the place as there is a cinema on the top floor. It look so grand, even grander than our gold class. However it was only their normal cinema lobby. Price at weekday was merely 15000rupiah, which approx less than 3 sgd. However, we didnt have enough time to watch a show. =(
We like their supermarket. Bought many items which we cannot bought from the Nagoya Mall supermarket. Bought many snacks, drinks and yakult. Yakult only less than $1 for a pack of 5!
The food variety is not as much as nagoya. However we found a western resturant which serve pizza. We order one large pizza ( 8pc) for our dinner. Plan to have the free dinner tmr.
When we went back to hotel, we realised that the dinner is only fixed on that nite. Since some of the tour were on one day tour package, we need to send them to the pier. Also need to send those who were not staying the same hotel as us first. Travelling ard cost us few hours. Hungry and cold due to raining day. We reached the hotel nearly 8pm.
After check in, we went for garden dinner for chicken chop. Since we were the first two guests, it was totally deserted but the atmosphere is wonderful. It is nice to have a good view at the pool from 2nd storey and the garden decoration is really nice and cosy. It seem like Dear booked the whole place for our anniversary celebration. =)
Had a few snap of the dinner venue and we walked ard the hotel before we went back to room rest. The lobby pub have live singing. Felt good with dear together with those songs.

Shopping day!! =) We had our hotel breakfast before we depart for shopping. Variety is little. Dear still prefer Harris breakfast. I miss my honey stars.
We booked a slot to go Nagoya to shop on the night before.Booked earliest bus and latest bus back! Realised that we were the only two people who went for shopping for the whole day! That mean the whole bus is to drive us personally to and back! Wah seh..
Since we went before, we knew what we can do at the shopping centre. It was merely 10min drive from the hotel. This hotel is very good for shopping ard the town as it have direct transportation to several shopping malls via their hotel service. Nice. =)
Shop ard before we had lunch. Tried their local food, rice with fried chicken. Look small portion but we were full when we added the meal with a fruit juice. Yummy.. The chilli is darn hot until we kept drinking our juice. Total bill added up less than 60k rupiah
Shop ard. Dear bought a wallet and perfume. I tried to get one perfume too. Not bad. I like the smell. We went to Isabella for massage. We had the cheapest package - 1h30min which cost us $18 (120k rupiah). Their service is good. I like the way they massage my shoulder and head. Wonderful feeling. =)
It was 5pm. We rushed back to the pickup pt and asked the driver to wait for 5min to buy J Co donut. waited for the person in front of us to order as they order 48 pcs!! Ended up it took longer than usual. Paiseh for the driver to wait. Lucky we are the only two person for the pickup session. Otherwise ppl will stare at us.
Ate cup noodle and donuts as dinner. Overspent and we wanna save for tmr expenses. Watching local tv - showing Cars movie.
Bathe and rest early.

The departure day. We packed up and had our breakfast. Breakfast seem more. Perhap it is a weekend. However the egg station chef didnt cooked nice eggs. Dear complained that he cooked better than him. We lazied ard till noon. Got a call from lobby that the tour guide arrived to pick us up. Also pick a grp of teenagers.
Sent us to Batam center pier. Opp got Mega Mall. We can have lunch + window shopping. Booked with tour guide for 4pm ferry. That mean we need to check in an hour before. We can check in our bags at the shopping centre. Cool service. =)
Combed ard the place and had our lunch at giovia. Portion of western meal are small. Still hungry after the food. Coffee is nice. I hate the smell of smoking. Open to smokers. =(
We went to cinema lobby. Grand as usual. More movie types to watch. 3D also have. Wow..
We tried their arcade. 8 coins for 15k rupiah ($2.30).. wow.. dear enjoyed his game very much. He spent the rest of his time playing his shooting game until i rot at my own. Tried old games like bubble puzzle 2 at price of 8 coins for 10k rupiah ($1.50).. Pa game until time up for check in.
The pier only speak Indo Malay. Dun understand the language. Nearly got hard time to know when we need to aboard the ferry.
Ferry provide a movie show. Dear slept thr out the ferry back. I cannot slept as it rock so hard until i wanna vomit. Reach singapore ard 6.30pm and we had our dinner at the hawker next to the interchange. I miss local food. =)
Took bus back to dear house and dear sent me home via his family car.
Overall, it is a nice wonderful trip. It is a different experience from the previous one. Thanks to dear who brought me there. It is nice memories =)
