Sonia woke up aft i finished bathin. i was upset on e bus cos tinkin of her haiz.. we were earli at Harborfront so we sat one side 2 rest b4 boardin e ferry. we oso went 2 e Duty-Free shop 4 awhile. hubby asked mi wanna buy beer anot. i said dun wan cos nv thought of drinkin. i saw Xie Jia Fa or his look-alike, of Yes FM93.3 with a few ladies at e gate~! when e ferry arrived, we went 2 sit at e upper deck. thr was nth nice 2 snap outside e window durin e journey.

we rched Batam abt 45 mins ltr. we needed 2 find e tour guide 2 bring us ard Batam. fortunately, we managed 2 c her aft i went 2 e toilet. it was a long queue at e smelly toilet. we took a bus outside e ferry terminal wif 2 malay families. i saw a cute & pretty baby ger :)

firstly, e tour guide brought us to e Polo Ralph Lauren shop. she said e stuffs were authentic from USA. hubby and i juz went window-shoppin thr cos e clothes were ex to us. we oso saw other branded bags and wallets such as LV, Hermes & Gucci thr. aft tt, she drove us to do massage. she said we could not do in e hotel cos thr were no more slots.

prior 2 e massage, we soaked and washed our feet in a basin. den we went our upstairs 2 gt ready. hubby and i were jz bside each other wif e curtain btw us. e female masseurs were friendly. we lied on a mattress on e floor. e whole process was relaxin and abit ticklish. hubby felt lk slpin lol. e masseur asked mi whether i did massage b4 and i answered mine was lyin on a bed not on-e-floor style. she said den mine was spa nt massage. aft we finished our massage, we tk photographs of e place as it had a nice ambience and decor which resembled e one we went in Singapore.

e tour guide came 2 fetch us aft our massage. she took all of us to taste some layer cakes outside a cake shop. Indonesia is famous for layer cakes. there were 4 flavors namely original, chocolate, prune and i forgt e name of e other one. i liked e Prune flavor e most as it tasted e nicest, so we ordered one box.

finali, we could go lunch. i was v hungry cos i oni ate abit in e morning. we went 2 a seafood restaurant 4 lunch. e place was called Golden Prawn 555. hubby & i sat at e same table with 3 malay kids fr out bus. e 1st dish tt arrived was e chilli crabs (shown on e left pic - centre pic, white plate). next dish was e clams soup (shown on e below pic - top left pic). as u can see fr e left pic, we oso ate chiili oysters (orange plate in e middle), fried fish (top pic) & fried prawns (below left pic). fr e rite pic, u can see calamari (centre pic) & green veg too. my hubby & i lk e veg oni as it tasted e best among all lol. we oso ordered one coconut 2 share. but i din snap a photo of it. i stil fd e local coconut more tasty. e malay kids din eat mch but i noticed they lk e fried prawns n fried fish. we ate all these wif white rice of cos.

aft lunch, e tour guide brought us 2 c a Indo traditional show b4 leavin e place. she said we could gif tips if we were satisified wif e show as it was a free performance. it was short wif e purpose of wanting 2 encourage their own young ppl 2 learn e traditional yet dangerous fire-shallowing and glass-eating acts. my hubby did pass e man some rupiahs aft they finished and everyone applauded.

den, we took some time 2 tour an outdoor miniature house exhibition. e tour guide wanted us 2 guess which house belonged 2 a cannibal tribe in Indo. no one guessed correctli but nvm one. she gave my hubby & i a brief description of all e various houses as we could nt understd e malay words engraved on e small board.

nw, we came 2 e adventurous part. my hubby & i gona play e Flying Fox. e weather was hot and e queue was abit long. nt mani ppl fr our bus joined us. we gt ready by wearin e helmet & harness band 1st. we needed 2 climb 2 e top of e starting point. a man was thr 2 connect our harness 2 a rope & we were told 2 hold onto e handles. he counted to '3' and off we went down e rope 2 e landin point at a far end. my heart was beatin fast while i was in mid air! it was excitin as it was my 1st tm playin Flyin Fox!

b4 we went 4 our dinner at a shoppin mall, we went 2 a Batik shop. we missed e temple and e Factory Outlet cos thr was nt mch tm left. we bought nothing at e Batik shop. my hubby bought a pair of leather shoes at e shoppin mall which was called BCF. we saw mani branded bags thr, so my hubby bought mi one lol. we dined at a cafe and my hubby ate Fish & Chips and me fried seafood kway keow. it was delicious :) we oso ordered a strawberry milkshake as shown below.

Before my Hong Kong trip~!!!

last month, i attended 2 special functions. i was quite bz doin my biz stuff so i oni posted once then.

my colleague, Adrian, invited mi 2 his baby's 1st bdae. as i was free on tt Sun, so i went. i oso wanted 2 c his baby ger. so coincidentali, her name's Audrey which is e same as my Sec sch fren. i went thr myself by LRT. his hse was decorated. he had oso asked my boss, CM, Jason & Agnes. Chin & Goh cannot mk it. in e end, my boss din go cos he had 4gotten abt it. i was e 1st 2 rch! i saw Audrey! she's v cute n pretti. her hair is short n alw puts on a smile. Adrian's wife's nice too. i lk e Thai-styled buffet esply e red rubies dessert & tom yam soup! yummy! e Elmo cake was delicious as well. altho i din gt 2 carry Audrey, i stil had enjoyed myself. i oso found tt Adrian's younger bro is handsome lol.

My 'souvenir' for attendin e bdae party

on 24 sep 10, fri, my Division had a dinner gatherin at Little Bali. Alvin, Chua, Satheesh and i tk a cab thr. we were late. b4 tt, i tk a shower n gt chnged n put on mk up. it's my 1st tm 2 bathe in e office male toilet lol. Alvin was gd 2 'guard' outside lol. i was happi tt Dylan called mi 2 ask whether i was rchin. we were disappointed 2c tt e place was dark n had limited seats :( e food was nt nice too. when it was tm 2 go hm, my big boss gave mi a lift. i was so embarrassed cos it's my 1st tm sittin his car. it's a big car tho i saw a small roach on e seat bhind lol! dunno y but nvm as i din tell him. i tink tis non-airconed restaurant is more suitable for couples. it will oso b more convenient if u drive.
