Bintan! [130112 - 140112]
A short 2D1N relaxing trip.. My first overseas trip with Ms Soon. Haha!
Our names got announced over the PA system early in the morning at the ferry terminal.. LOL. The ferry ride took longer than we expected! A full 2 hours..
The first stop after alighting from the ferry was the spa. Similar to the other time in Batam, it was the Balinese style massage.. But i find this time so much more enjoyable! Not so tickish and painful.. It was good.. hahaa
The vehicle which was supposed to fetch us to the resort broke down on the way and it was very late -.- So we ended up having our lunch at a lokcok coffeeshop opposite the spa place. The food surprised us.. It looked unappetizing but was amazingly nice. Haha! But I didn't take the pic of our food bcos I was paiseh to whip out my camera in that place.. Lol
Finally reached the Agro Beach Resort around 4pm. The exterior looked like chalet rooms but the interior of our room is actually quite good I would say. Someone was very obsessed with the comfortable bed.. Lol. We had a strategic room with the balcony facing the swimming pool and the sea, nice~ Just that our room was located on the 3rd floor and there was no lift. I will grumble everytime we climb the stairs haha!
Went for a walk to familiarise ourselves with the place and we found out that.. there's nothing to do! LOL! "Lucky" us met the low tide when we reach the place, so there's no water at all -.- Was thinking about canoeing and they said their equipments were under repair.. Wins. And so we self-entertained.
The set dinner (which was included in our package) was good. I know it doesn't look appetizing, which is the case with all the nice food we ate actually. Haha! But the sambal kangkong was damn nice~ Found that the food at the cafe is quite reasonably priced, hence we went back for supper.
We had buffet breakfast in the morning and went to the beach since the water is back. Haha.. It so happened that there was this kite surfing competition that day. So it was rather happening at the beach.
We decided to go for this Ocean Mineral Bath at the spa place in the resort before checking out. So long nv soak in the bathtub! Lol.
Went to have our lunch before leaving the place. Ordered that plate of sambal kangkong which we missed! Haha..
Bintan is really a place to relax and do nothing else.. Unless you are really into sea sports. But the sports are so expensive too.. Haha..
Another place checked! Penang in Feb and HK in march~ I should 检讨一下, getting poor.. Haha!

CNY is just a day away.. It came too fast this year. Finally finished my spring cleaning and threw away a truckload of clothes, books and bags. Made way for new ones~ Satisfied!
