2nd day at bintan


The 1st night we booked a half day trip from the resort..
So we woke up 8 plus for breakfast before the trip..
Unfortunately, my period came..
My appetite had become much weaker compared to the first day..
Nevertheless, the morning looks great..
Btw i didnt miss the breakfast anyway..





 So right after breakfast, we went to catch our mini van for the trip..
Journey was long..
Managed to caught a little nap..

Finally we reached the destination..
Our trip included with 75min tropical massage, refreshment and boat trip at mangrove and free and easy at the beach.. btw it costed $75 per pax for the trip..
Its a min 4 person trip.
We went with 2 australians.


 First thing was tropical massage, the one and only river built kampong parlor at bintan (aroma spa river)

we are served with lemongrass drink while they explained the kind of massage they have..
We took the foot massage cause we don't want to be whole body full of oil again..




It was real tropical massage, no aircon no fan, just birds chirping all over the forest.
Once lied down, you will only feel relaxation.
Oh, i felt asleep for real..

After 75 mins this what you will become.
Just wake up face

After massage, we went for the boat ride..



nothing special cus its not monsoon season for all the reptiles,snakes to appear..

so after boat ride, its refreshment time..
They served us with fresh coconut and their famous nasi lemak.





Taste was not bad but too bad i didnt had much appetite.. :(

Let me introduce the main lead of the aroma spa village.
Miss toby


Mai siao siao hor, shes the owner's dog.
Miss toby..
GOT BLOG ONE HOR!

She is damn funny, she won't bite but when you wan to sayang her , she will make some sort of motorbike sound..
hahahah!
Non stop one, some more very long....

hahaha!
This is Jodi, our driver for both 1st night and 2nd day ..

After refreshment, we relaxed for a little bit..
Bb was lying on the net and the australian walked past and was wanting to lie on it too..
But once he tried lying down, we all heard ' PISSSSS PISSSS PISSSS' the net was torn and he fell on the ground.. HAHAHAHA! we all lol !!
He was way too big size for the net....
his gf also cant stop laughing...




we simply strolled by the beach together afterthat..

We ended there with coconut trees...



 Thats all for our 2nd day at Bintan, Jodi sent us straight to pier for our ferry afterwards.
and HOME SWEET HOME...

Btw, the parking fees at tanah merah was $24 for the whole day.. okay lah cheaper than taking a cab through and forth..

I still enjoyed with bb despite the fucking expensive food!!!

Love love

2D1N at Bintanlagoon

So i got this deal from deal.com , 2d1night stay at 5star Bintanlagoon.
Damn, it doesnt come with ferry tickets so i got another deal for their ferry ticket.
Worst thing, we planned to go on a Sunday-Monday but the ferry ticket is only valid for Mon-Thur..
DAMN!
so top up additional fees for the Sunday ticket.

Must read carefully next time mannnnn...

Nevertheless, we went!

At least this time, we slept till 11am plus as ferry is at 2pm..
Drove to Tanah merah and intended to park there the whole day(imagining the parking fees)


 so this is the ferry

Journey was shaky and bb feeling giddy while i was enjoying the views and snapping pictures..


Then we realised we are really agnes b fan
Key chain, spec,sling bag,back pack adn wedding band..hahah
No wonder they invited bb to their fashion show.



So the journey lasted for only 55mins.
We reached at 1.55pm at bintan timing..

Hotel bus was waiting to pick us up:)
Thats what i like most, no trouble for travelling to the hotel..

Took about 1/2 hr to reach the resort.. 

TA DAAA.
Thats our room..
i think it looked great as it was spacious:)





Our room view
sian(forest) quickly slammed the door cause i am afraid that the mosquito would ome in real fast..

view of downstair

so after unpacking our stuffs, we went to check out the resort activities..
We went on to try Laser quest
$11 per pax
*please note that everything at bintan is charged in SGD dollars.

The quest is for 6 person i think and coincidentally there were 3 girls sitting there, waiting for some other ppl to come in and play , i guess.. So we joined them...
3 vs 2

The game only lasted for 15mins but we were all panting like hell already.
screaming and running all over the place..

And we are out ( checking out the scores )


Guess who won???


Yeah, we did!
hahahaha! we are the power team despite only the 2 of us..

Yeap, just for fun and we did had fun :)
Group shot with the girls also from SG
(see the pink tee shirt girl, sweating like mad also)

Then me n bb went over to the swimming pool cafe for a drink(real thirsty) and we had fruit punch which cost $12 per glass!!
sigh.. they are opened to con Singaporeans $ i think..


After chilling at the cafe, we headed over to have dinner at Japanese restuarant for teppanyaki cause the adverts on the tv looked really yummyy.

i really had a big shock over the menu and cost ( sorry for being like a cheapo ) but i can't help it when i saw like 100g chicken for $20 , fried rice at $10 plus over and tempura at almost $20 again..
i told bb i eat a little bit can liao..
XIN HEN TONG..
hahaha!
But the atmosphere really gd lah, everything so classy and clean.. 
They even served us with superb hot towels and apron..

 this is our teppanyaki chef and he looked like taufik (sg idol)

 playing stunts



Our bill ended up $80 over.
WO DE XIN HAI SHI HEN TONG!!!
In sg i think for the same amount of food ordered is only about $50 over..

its okay, FIRST AND THE LAST TIME!

So after dinner, we called a cab to head over to their town for spa massage..
TMD, cab $22! 
Its like travelling from wdl - paris.
But in fact the journey is like wdl - bishan only lor!
WO DEN XIN HAI SHI HEN TONG!
hahah, i can't stop complaining but bb kept saying come hoilday dont keep grumbling about the $ lahh.

i *hit chest to myself..

Finally something worthwile, the spa massage..
$60 per person for the 2 hour tropical massage/mask and scub plus shower..
I think its worth it.
Funny that what attracted bb to do it its because the name of the package its called SNOW WHITE.
bb always wanted to have whitening..
I think if consistent doing it, it will really have the effect cause we really felt snow white after the whole thing..
The atmosphere was not bad too!



Bb after shower..
So funny bb said ' i felt so awkward taking everything off only left TEH KOR ' hahaha!
After the spa we went to next door salon to have wash n blow , wah another let down.
I think girls there are trained to massage.
But dunno how to do other things.
skills damn weak.
Don is way much better.
I asked the person just blow dry my hair cus if she want to dry my hair nicely i think will take up to 1 hour..
bb also blow dry his hair by himself..
Tak boleh tahan...

After the wash, we waited for the transport to send us back to our resort (included in the snow white package) thats y i say worthwhile..

Actually me and bb intended to go the resort 3degree restuarant which looked really nice ambience but they are closed already :(

so our last resort is to order room service..




Ex again.. $40 over plus for our supper..
The food was normal only...

Okay we sleep off the night quietly with bb .. 
at least everything is off from stress..

Shall continue next day post...
