1st hiccup for the day
Abbey said that she is a light sleeper, will definitely wake up when the alarm rang.
Jing said she would take MRT to Harbor Front if she can wake up early.
BUT none of them woke up early. BOTH of them oversleep and I, being the usual heavy sleeper gotta call and wake them up -_-"
Bee was still okay as the moment, I called her at 715am, she pick up my call and say she will get ready and meet me down stair.
Jing was a disaster. Called her countless time yet she didnt pick up any of my calls. I still have to called Meixin and wake her up to ask for Jing hse number. Yea, xin didnt join us for the trip as she gotta attend some aunty's concert.
Luckily, the moment we called Jing's hse, she pick up the call...
2nd hiccup
Bee and Me reach Harbor Front at 745am. We realised that we 100% wont be able to board the ferry which we have booked as Jing was still at hm and from her hse to here, will take about 25mins and that lady still say she wanna bath before getting out of her hse. Bee and Me went to the ferry collection office, Batam Fast, to see whether can we postpone the timing.
Fortunately we are able to do so BUT the next ferry timing to Batam (waterfront) was only avail at 1210pm and I also came to realise that I have booked the wrong pier for arrival. There were up to 3 different pier terminal in Batam -_-" I booked the one at Sekupang or Batam Centre. Cant really recall.
Althou all terminals will be able to reach our hotel at Holiday Inn, just that if i have booked the terminal at Waterfront, we wouldnt need to waste monies on the transfer and waste additional time.
We managed to get a ferry to Batam (Sekupang) at 1040am. Jing finally arrived after bee and me settled down in Mac -_-"
Happily eating our breakfast
Jing and Me
The 3 of us
Boarded the ferry and off we goes to Batam.
The gals
Me
It took us about 1hr + to reach Batam.
After arriving at Batam ferry terminal, we gotten a cab and they send us to our hotel. Check-in time was at 2pm yet we arrived at 12plus. But luckily e room were already clean up. We consider ourself lucky as we didnt choose Harris Resort as when our cab bypass Harris, we finds that the outlook of that hotel wasnt as new compared to wad we saw on the webby. Holiday inn were newer instead and the service was not bad.
Room given to us were at 1402
The view from the balcony
and while checking in to the hotel, we also booked our return ferry tickets at the hotel lobby as well as the transfer to Nagoya Hills. The biggest shopping centre in Batam.
Us
We reach Nagoya at 2pm? And we headed for our lunch at A&W =)
Shopping and pedicure was done within the days.
The 3 of us at the Nails salon
Bee with her fav clock in town
Im not being bad but the SA there, really took their own sweet time to bill you your purchase. Had a gr8 dinner at there. The table next to ours was also a group of sporean. they ordered quite some dishes therefore they shared with us as they said they couldnt finished it. Share with us then not wasteful mah. We ordered 6 dishes and it cost only $37 in total! Cheap and good.
Having our sumptuous dinner
Abbey kept saying that don go back to hotel too late as Indonesia seems unsafe but after we finished our food, it was already 10plus pm Indo timing which is SG 11+pm.
Yea, I do agreed that it was kinda scary as upon 10pm, the whole shopping centre switch off their lighting and the road back to hotel was dark and lots of pit-holes -_-"
Back to e room, we bathed and gotten our snacks as well as beer. We didnt chat much as all of us were dead tired but still we slept at 2plus am.
Us W/O makeup
Cheers to our 1st oversea trip.
Xin, a pity that you cant join us else wise things will be more fun!
Funny things that have happened...
- During our grocery shopping at the hypermarket as we were thirsty, I told Jing to get us 1 btl of water so that we can share it. That silly gal went away for few mins and came back taking a 1.5L of coke in her hands -_-"
Instead of a 0.5L btl drink. Both bee and Me was stunned and we asked what is she doing.. Wahahaha - Bee woke up in the middle of night, asking Jing wad time is it. Jing told her 4+. I think she heard wrongly thus she went to the toilet after which draw open the curtains and then asked, how come the sky is still so dark when it is aldy 7+. Den Jing repeated herself, no, its 4+ only. Bee jump st8 onto the bed and slp again. Haa
Our heavy breakfast
Bee
Jing
Breakfast eaten, we went back to our room and change into our swimsuit since it was only 10am as we booked our bus to Nagoya again for some last min shopping at 11am.
Bee and Me
BFFs forever
Shopped around and there goes our 2D 1N Batam trip. But even thou we were there for less than 40hrs, that's' the amount of stuffs that we bought.
Took the ferry back to SG at 530pm.
Reached SG at 7pm thereafter went to have a short dinner together and home sweet home.
To others, it may not sounds fun but to us, it really were. Hehe.. Our 1st oversea trip and more to come. I definitely have a fun and enjoyable trip with them
