Batam Trip!!!

-
Two to three months ago we decided we were holiday-deprived (even after Phuket) so we decided to go to Batam for a short 2D1N getaway before uni starts! This was a month after Phuket I think. 

I have been to Batam many times but I always stay/sleep at my uncle's house or visit the same malls so this trip was kinda fun!!! I see Batam from a different perspective.

IT'S BEEN TWO MONTHS SINCE THE BATAM TRIP. Time flies. Genevieve and Rachel didn't join us because they together in Singapore don't know doing what la hor HAHA ok inside joke they're supposed to be married but they're divorced but they're always talking about the past.

Please forgive all the really cute photos. I have forsaken my digital camera and my dslr.



LOOK AT US ALL FRESH AND YOUNG 2 MONTHS AGO!!!

After touring Batam for a bit and visiting some factory outlets (SUPER DRY!!!!!!!!!!!) we had a seafood lunch. I am guessing it's all Groupon standard stuff~



I'm quite proud to say at our table we ate the most LOL the rest of the table consisted of couples. Don't shy leh just eat next time.

Cheap and good crepes at some shopping mall I always visit with my mom!!!

Froyo at the same mall~~~




LOOOOOOOOOOK at all the frozen fried stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love grocery shopping while overseas wahahahahaha.

Of course we had A&W for dinner hehe. Weilin and Manjun stayed behind at our hotel so it's just Livia, Yanhong and I.

I forgot which hotel we stayed at already but it was really nice :) The highlight of any overseas trip is always the buffet breakfast. Thank you whoever came up with it. Thank you.





And...that was it?! Sigh it only lasted a weekend. Oh funny story. We tried to dabao A&W back, but at the Sg customs we got stopped and they made us throw all our fried chicken away. :( DAMN YOU BIRD FLU!!!!!!!! Yanhong's waffles were saved though hahaha.

If I were to franchise A&W would it be successful??? Because I really love how they have waffles AND fried chicken AND root beer float in the same place.

Anyway so that's that a really short monthly post time for me to go to sleep because work. I'm really thankful for this trip and for my awesome friends. Everytime we hang out (anywhere) it's like a holiday :D Thank you for making this short trip so fun you guys!!! Time to plan our next trip~ 

Note to self: Melaka post is next.

Hello I'm sitting in the quite abandoned m:idea office (everyone went out for lunch) and there is absolutely nothing to do. We finished our work liao. So here I am clearing my Korea trip post!!!!! Day 9 at Lotte World and Myeongdong The absolutely best part about Lotte World was we only paid $8.90 for the one day special pass :D!!!!! It usually costs 40 000 won (which is about SGD $45) but we got a 30% tourist discount cuz we picked up this brochure from a tourist information desk at Namdaemun, so it was 28 000 won, and then we had this prepaid credit card (which you can use to shop at convenience stores, shops under Lotte  company I think and Lottle World) which has 20 000 won inside courtesy of KTO !!! We did surveys and shit ahaha. So we only needed to pay 8000 won after the discount and using the card. I LOVE KOREA. LOTTE WORLD!!!!!! It was quite empty because we went early but there were still queues and all. Didn't have to wait that long though! The first ri...

I am so lazy to blog about Korea haha it was very fun with 3/4 of the Converse Gang!!! Yanhong couldn't make it but we still managed to meet up in Seoul for a bit ;)  Special thanks to Livia who bought our plane tickets with much difficulty and then planned our entire itinerary!!!! We basically decided to go to Korea on whim wtf but that's old news. Also thanks to Weilin for being a very cute roomie!!! It's very entertaining especially since we have no laptops boo. I almost decided to abandon the trip because I didn't have enough money -_- But I am blessed with a disgruntled mother (who suddenly decided to give me money in the end kns made me worry for a month about how to raise money...I briefly considered selling everything I own) and my very good friends (Livia and Weilin and especially Layching!!!) who kept offering to lend me money WTF T__________T I must have done something damn good in my past life to have accumulated this much good karma. I am really very ga...
