1st November 2009 - Sunday Batam Getaway
Papa is super nice to fetch us to HarbourFront, where we took the ferry there.
FYI, there are a few ferries and ports: Batam Fast or Penguin go to Batam Centre, Wave Master goes to Harbour Bay. But all are of the same price, that is SGD48 for a 2-way ticket. And it's about an hour journey. Similar to Hong Kong-Macau.
This reminds us of the Taipei's Lovers Bridge.
Stepmum actually planned the trip for us and her brother drove us around. I'm really grateful but at the same time feel kinda bad.Anyway if you're going there, just be extra careful, especially ladies. Their cabs not that safe as gang rape usually happens. Sigh!
We went to DC Mall and BCS (Batam City Square) before lunch.
Didn't enjoy shopping over there, nothing much and it's repetitive. DC Mall was a waste of time, but can get inexpensive underpants (1 buck each) at BCS. I also bought a black spaghetti for only SGD1.50, CHEAP CHEAP! We changed our SGD to RP over there too, cause my stepmum's brother knows the money changer so we had better rates.
$$$
Lunch-ed at Golden Prawn 933. Cheap and nice seafood!
Big and sweet coconut! Slurps!
Skin is crispy and meat is tender and juicy!
This seafood meal only costs us SGD17 each. A treat from us, somehow it makes us feel a little better.
Most of them ride.
One of their popular shopping malls: Nagoya Hill. But again, I find it quite boring. Most of the shops are selling those non-authentic stuffs, zzz.On our way to find Yixuan:
Tadah! I really miss her a lot la!Stayed at my stepmum's house for awhile before we went for our whole body massage!
We had the Indo & Traditional massage! So shiok la, especially when you hear the 'crack crack' sound.It's only SGD11 for 1.5 hours. Tell me where to find this kind of cheap and good massage?! It seems like my body is craving for more, tsk.
Final destination:
To buy doughnuts and have A&W.
A&W is part of my childhood memories. Mummy used to bring me to the outlet at AMK very often when I was young.Due to time constraint, we didn't step into Polo shop. Never mind, there's always a next time.
Sweet dreams people!
