short-getaway!
went for a short holiday last weekend. it was quite an impromtu holiday. princess asked me two weeks ago what i wanted to do for our 4th anniversary - watch chicago or spa at batam. SPA LAH!! hehehe.. never really went for spa before and that would also means i could go out of singapore for a weekend! short, but better than nothing. =D
upon arrival at the resort, the guests were all really receive with a warm welcome. there were people serving cookies, cold honeydew milk, cold cold towels and also there were people singing & dancing at the lobby to welcome the guests!! it was really fun. =)
for those of you who have been there and laughing at me for being a mountain tortoise, its my first time there and i really was not expecting anything like that since it was not included the package we choose and shame on you for not sharing with me such a fun spa resort. tsk tsk.
anyway, shortly after we checked-in its time for our spa! we chose a 3 hours spa which includes of body scrub, body massage and herbal or milk bath.
i also realised after the massage that my right ankle was not aching anymore. there is this spot where it permanently hurts since ever and i think she just "unhurt" that spot with her wonder hands. hahaha..
after spa is LUNCH!! hungry hungry.
the soup was not bad just that the ingredients were not fresh enough. and they over cooked the prawn and the "brain paste" of the prawn spilled out into the soup making it a little too fishy.
after spa and a yummy lunch.. SUNTAN!!
once a friend was asked in a "tediouse" questionnaire if i was Athletic? and i think she answered perfectly, "if sun tanning was a sport yes". wahahahaha...
ok, back to suntanning. so we went back to our room, got changed and we caught Incredibles on TV!! but i fall asleep halfway through and princess did not wake me up!! by the time i woke up, the sun was already setting. =(
we decided to try out the buffet at the resort. the food was not bad - spaghetti, soup, salad, loads of bbq food and dessert.
the place we were sitting was a little dark. so the waiter there found a candle for us to brighten up out food a little.
DAY2.
we went for the breakfast buffet after the swim and i made some new "friends".when i saw the queue for freshly cooked eggs was quite short, i went to queue for the eggs too. i was the third in queue and they were serving - sunny-side up, omellete and scrambled. the first in line was these 2 girls who order like 3 sunny-side up, 2 omellete with cheese and 5 normal omellete. they apparently had ordered for their other friends too. while waiting for the eggs, their table mates still came by and asked them to order eggs for them too! what pissed me off the most is after the chef had prepared ALL their orderSS, NEW order came in and they just cut the queue of like 8-9 people. ROAR!! they think this is a primary school canteen issit? want to eat then queue up lah! irritating.. i waited like 15 mins for 2 omellete. the person infront of me more poor thing, 15mins for ONE omellete. in the end i think they ordered like 20+ eggs for their table of 7-8 people. princess said maybe they never eat eggs before.
after breakfast, we took the shuttle bus to TOWN!!
question: how we managed to do so many things in one morning?
its my bobo-ness again loh. i set my alarm for 8 in the morning, though it took like an hour to wake princess up to take me for a swim, i forgot that it was one hour later in batam. so it was actually only 8+ still when we went for a swim. hehehe..
it took like 30 mins to reach town. they had this big shopping mall there, but most of them are selling imitation branded goods, which me and princess dont really fancy. but we saw something which we fancy a lot..

the massage that follow was uber good too..
it was so soothing that i was dozing
in and out of sleep for the 1.5 hours.
i also realised after the massage that my right ankle was not aching anymore. there is this spot where it permanently hurts since ever and i think she just "unhurt" that spot with her wonder hands. hahaha..
