Obsession Within The Heart: Batam Trip during the weekends 05/04

So we woke up Batam timing around 9 plus and my hungry husband actually woke me up! He woke up already showered & than woke my up! -.-" WTH!!! 9am only leh! so i woke up washed up & went for breakfast.. the variety was good.. 100 times better than the ones at Bali :)

the spread was worth it for a $50 hotel with breakfast!

after breakfast we wanted to swim..

but we realized that the water was super low!

below waistline for Jason :(
so sad!!

so we didn't swim!

YES!

there is a net above!!

wonder why?

cause i think they're expanding the hotel

they don't want the debris & all to fall on people so ya!

the only minus point in the hotel!

other than that everything else was perfect!

stuff kept greeting non-stop!

when we checked in, the staff actually followed us to our rooms,

switched on all the things & made sure we were comfortable

and than he left..

i was impressed! very sweet people..

so we went back to our room packed, washed up

and checked out at 12 noon..

we wanted to go over to mega mall to watch Need for speed in Imax,

but sadly it was only at 0645pm!

and our ferry was at 0700pm.

so we didn't go!

we took a taxi to harbour bay mall,

had BFC there..

another gross option..

food took forever to come!

and it wasn't that great!

SO EXPENSIVE!!!

OHH MAYYNNN!!!!
ANOTHER FOOD WASTER!!!
:(

After our meal,
we wanted to check our ferry to see if we can book the 2pm one instead..
since it was still early & we cannot watch need for speed anymore :/
so we went to search for the counter..
YES! there was enough room for the ferry!
so we got our boarding pass and went want to look for layer cakes..
the prices really varied for the layer cakes man!
some were as cheap as RP75000 = $8.50 and some went all the way up to RP180000 = $20.45
WOW!!!
That is alot!!!
so were got the cheapest one at RP75000...

THE SHOP WHERE WE GOT IT!

WHEN WE WENT TO QUEUE FOR DEPARTURE,

WE ACTUALLY SAW MANY PEOPLE CARRYING THE PAPER BAG! SO I THINK IT WAS A GOOD OPTION! ;D CHEAPER SOME MORE LA! U THINK PEOPLE COME ALL THE WAY HERE & STILL WANT TO SPEND SO MUCH?

THEY WOULD RATHER SPEND LESSER AND STILL TRY THEIR LAYER CAKES WHAT!

$20 FOR JUST A LAYER CAKE IS TOO MUCH LA! HIYO!

THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS LIKE! ONCE I WENT BACK HOME! I TRIED IT! IT WAS SUPER SOFT & NICE! NEXT TIME MUST BY BIGGER ONES! SINCE THEY'RE GOOD! :D

after purchasing this... we slowly went to walk to the minimart!
jason was crazy over the Indo curry mee -.-"

this is the one, if i am not wrong!
it is about SGD $0.30 per cup!
he got himself so many!!!
and than i bought a roller perfume for SGD $1 :)
escada

quite worth it tho..
in SG u prolly get 1/4 of this for $1.
and u will be able to smell alcohol..
whereas..
for this no alcohol smell..
and i am actually using for work!
not so strong & not too heavy the smell..
like just nice :)

HUBBY HAPPILY SHOPPING
IN THE MINIMART!
WHO ON EARTH SHOPS IN A MINIMART?
JASON DOES!
PEOPLE BUILD HUGE HYPERMARKET TO SHOP, HE WOULD RATHER SHOP HERE!
-.-"

after shopping and all..
we went to the departure lane
the queue was freaking long & we were 20mins before the ferry was about to depart!
OMG!!!
we queued!
while queuing...
i saw an alcohol shop!
i went to check out the prices!
SUPER CHEAP AS USUAL!
ask the man if can bring in to SG!
he said can!
lucky i never buy cause he was actually lying to me :/

WHILE WAITING FOR OUR PASSPORTS TO BE STAMPED!

guess what no sign board, no screen, nobody showing directions, nothing okay!

just a small waiting area with prolly 20 chairs..

this is where u need to follow your Singaporean culture of "MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO"

we saw many people who had the same boarding pass in one direction,

so we followed!

we walked.. kept walking..

and saw our ferry!!!

cause they allowed us to board batch by batch..

every 20 people board while the rest waited..

boarding was a little slow..

so we had time for more pictures :D

i wanted to take picture of him with the beautiful landscape of the sea & sky
(cause the colour very nice)
but it was too bright already :(
but nvm!
still got something better than nothing!
