Posted on 09 April 2014 ♥ 2 days after changing my hair color, it was a short trip to Batam with Elycia which is also my first leisure trip with my friend! Got a deal online so we didn't had to pay too much which is good, always wanted to go for a getaway even if it's just 2 days and also to have a mini vacation for our birthdays which both falls on April! :DWe were crazily excited even from a week before the trip and we almost couldn't get to sleep the night before but we told each other to sleep so we have more energy the next morning and glad we had some sleep! Woke up at like almost 7 in the morning and rush out of my house at about 8+ and took a bus towards Vivo while Elycia got up the same bus halfway through the ride! Our scheme works, heheh! To get on the same bus and go to habourfront together! Reached exactly at 10am, went to collect our boarding pass etc and then went for a small breakfast at Toast Box! Best choice ever!  We had the traditional toast of Kaya and Butter, also a Otah thick toast, not in picture because we had to wait like 10minutes for it so we snapped the above first. The Otah thick toast was freaking good, slightly crispy yet otah wasn't too spicy! Slurp! Our breakfast cost only $7.30 with a drink each too! Awesome day starts with a good breakfast! :D Got on the Ferry at 10.30am and that begins our crazy camwhore! Took a few on the ferry because we were totally excited already and the natural lighting in the morning best! Don't need filter man!  HEHE! Ohyeah that's my hair color under light which I really loveeeeeeee! 
And my partner for the trip who is awesome because she gets equally excited like me! As we were happily chatting and taking pictures, 45minutes on the ferry went fast so it's like we didn't wait for long and we reached Waterfront City Ferry Terminal! Got on the hotel transfer and reached our hotel, HARRIS Resort Waterfront in like 2-3mins drive! Shiok, butt haven't sit hot, can alight already! YAY! :D Was served a towel each to clean our hands and a glass of orange juice when we reached! Really felt welcomed just like alot other reviews online! Took a while to check in because there were quite abit of people but just thankful that the people from the hotel are nice! Our room was on the 4th storey and at the block nearest to the lobby which was good since we didn't had to walk that much! Totally on exploration mode when we went into our room until we didn't take pictures of the room! GENIUS! And we went mad when we know there's a balcony like OMG GOT BALCONY LEH! Sibei bimbo! :S  View from our room! CHIO OR NOT! Vacation mood on! :D  And taking pictures from the balcony is the best, lighting damn awesome means mood damn awesome! Spammed like mad but just a few here! :)  Lighting damn good you mei you! Don't even need filter! We then went to nuasai at the bed which was pretty shiok and they even have bolster! LOVE! That means more camwhore! HAHAHA!  We almost want to stay in the room the whole day to take pictures and not getting out of the room! Madness! We had little headache, due to the camera flash and crazy camwhoring so we dragged our feet out of the room and decided to go explore a little! Took a cab to Nagoya Hill for some shopping at 450,000rp($51) inclusive of going to 933 Seafood for dinner and back to hotel! The most pissed off part was when we found out the next day that we could get a shuttle bus from the hotel for free to Nagoya Hill, WTF and no one tells us =_= Since it was a vacation jiu suan liao! Reached the mall at 2.15pm (Batam Time) and we went A&W for lunch because Elycia wants to give it a try! Here's what we had, didn't have the rootbeer because the machine broke down, wtf!  Our meal cost like 71,000rp (SGD$8.10) which incluves 2 pcs chicken, Fish bowl meal (Lemon Tea and chicken soup). Chicken soup was not bad, fried chicken is yummy but too spicy for me, we thought it would be like KFC's hot and spicy but it's wayyyyy spicier! FML! Fish bowl is yummy but the sauce is also spicy! Super fml for people like me who can't take much spicy! And we had a free beetle in our lemon tea, great! -___- Pretty disappointing meal so we didn't order the ice cream waffle! :S Went to walk around the mall and Elycia got herself a bag, partly also because I think it's worth it so I psycho her to buy. HAHA bad friend is me! Forgotten the time and realised we only had less than an hour left before the cab come to pick us up so we rushed to the hypermart and bought some snacks and drinks! Could have bought more but we didn't want to carry until super langbei though the amount we bought was enough to make us langbei liao! Even with the last 15minutes, we ran to the arcade to play! HAHAHA damn arcade addict because it was really cheap like the basketball game was like $0.20?!?! Got on our booked cab at 5pm (Batam time) and went to 933 for our early dinner after a disappointing lunch where we didn't eat much! It's really new and super cool like we choose what seafood we want at 933 then decide how we want it to be cooked! Was lucky we didn't went at dinner time so the place was practically empty! Here's what we had! AND YES, we over-ordered! >_<  We had Crabs (1 in Chilli version, 1 in Salted Egg version), Fried Prawns w Mayonnaise sauce, Gong Gong, Shells and Sambal Kang Kong!! Sambal Kang Kong was pretty good, sambal was just nice, not too spicy for me so I really enjoyed it and the Gong Gong is so freaking fresh omg! No wonder there wasn't much of it left! Also the staffs were nice and honest enough as they took out those without meat aka empty shells then they weigh it! :) Crabs were alright, a pity they were small! :( Size of prawns are really small too but 200g got us this big plates of it that we couldn't finish! Total bill were about 370,000rp (SGD42) inclusive of 2 drinks and rice too! Find the price really alright since the seafood are REALLY FRESH! Just annoying that there were so many flies around so we couldn't really enjoy the meals in peace and Elycia got alot of mosquito bites on her legs which makes her mega pekcek! So we takeaway the Chili Crab and Prawns which we couldn't finish for supper! Back to the hotel at 7plus, went to clean up and spam use of the hotel wifi after not using the phone for a long day! >_< Down for complimentary massage! Elycia did the full body massage, 1hr while I did the foot reflexology for 30minutes because I think it's super awkward when people massage my boobs so I didn't want the full body massage plus I was lazy to change too! HEHE! Went back to rest after the massage then took turns to bathe before we start to get hungry and eat our leftovers from dinner! So glad we dabao something back because there's nothing much to eat in the hotel and even the minimart stuffs are super expensive!! Here's our supper at about 10+   Hello Panda in BBQ Flavour which we got at the minimart for 27,000rp (SGD$3) without knowing at first because they didn't state the price so we didn't thought a packet of tidbits would cost much! It still tasted good since we don't see it in SG! It's always okay to spend abit more on holidays! HAHAHA positive mindset you mei you! Rest awhile at the hotel after our supper before we on Youtube for in-hotel karaoke! HAHA WTF, we super budget can but okay la I really like people like Elycia who agrees with my crazy idea at times! But we kept out volume down and the walls are pretty soundproof! GOOD! Got tired after an hour so we went to nuasai on the bed and although we ask for 2 separate beds, we slept on a single bed because we were cold! HAHAHA! I was like helping Elycia to warm the bed, this is when fatty cyn comes to good use! :D Back to my own bed when she was really going to sleep at like 1-2am! Though the bed were comfortable, I spent quite awhile to fall asleep so only slept at almost 4am! :S  It was a long day but it was fun, thanks to the super steady and siao onz Elycia who always goes along with my bad plans. Hehehe! Day 2 in the next post! :D |
