These few days has been a rather happening one.
Batam Trip
Went on a department trip to Batam last saturday and sunday (26, 27). Sat on a 45-minutes long ferry ride to batam from Harbourfront. Surprising met sy on the mrt, she also on her way to batam as well, staying in a different hotel though.
The trip was all about sightseeing, shopping and seafood.
Sightseeing
Went to see the "famous" Barelang Fisabilliah bridge. The scenery was rather breathtaking surprisingly....
Seafood
Lunch was at some seafood resturant where we had gong gong, prawns, squids, chilli crabs, sweet&sour fish, curry veg and soup. The crab and gong gong were not nice at all.. yucks... Nevertheless, each of us could have unlimited of prawns, we could easily have 10 prawns /person.
Shopping
The afternoon was spent shopping, buying some local products and visit some village kampong seeing them do some culture dance. Not very interesting though.
The things at the hypermart was very very cheap. Toiletries that we buy for $5-$6 in Singapore, was sold at only $1+!!! I think my collegues really spark that shopping spree in me that we literally zoom through every shelf to see what is good-buy-best-buy-must-buy. muhahah i didn't really buy much though because my lugguage cannot squeeze in more items.. haha!
The dinner sucks badly... coz is the same resturant! To make things worst.. is the same dish.. just that is cooked differently. So instead of having chilli crab, it's black pepper crab .. etc..
We checked into hotel at around 8 plus pm. Everyone was dead beat. Ooh.. but we woke up rather early at 9am Singapore time, approxiamately 8am batam time. Here's the view outside my window..
On a side note, i am on MC now. Well, i vomitted on monday midnight. No. It wasn't because of the food at Batam. It was my dinner on Monday. I think i poisoned myself, mama speculated that it could be the veggies that i fried that night was not cooked enough... haiz... How could that happened..
Anyway, i can't wait for CNY to come soon...
