Bintan - Day 1

FINALLY!!!! It's been like 8 years since i last went? Stayed at mana mana that time. Was bored to death and i promised myself never to step into bintan again.

But hor, i found Bintan Lagoon resort, read the reviews and fell in love with it. So, we ditched our Hong Kong plan and went bintan instead. I've told labbit tons of time that bintan could be bored at night. But he seems ok.

And to think i've spent like 1-2 months surfing all about HK, finding hotels i like... and even to planning the itinerary!

All of a sudden, my urge to go HK was gone. I dun feel like shopping there anymore. I just wanna relax. Bintan is the best place.. and labbit's very happy coz he dun really like HK lah. :D

On the ferry. Labbit entertaining himself with ipod and starring at duno-what.

After reaching, we took a short bus ride to the hotel. There were dancers welcoming us when we got down the bus. Can't wait to reach and enjoy my seaview room. Had especially asked for it. I knew something was wrong when the reception told us "west wing". ARGH! I told east wing's nearer to the beach?

There! SUPERIOR ROOM! Was so fiaking pissed! There's nothing to see at the balcony except one big TREE.

Yes, it's fiakstar's fault again. We went back to the counter and argued that we've booked a deluxe seaview room. They promised to check and get back to us later in the evening if there's any room to change.

Think they were pretty nice lah. They gave us the option to stay in superior room for one nite, and upgrade us to suite the next day with free lunch. Wooooooosh!
But labbit doesn't want the hassle of moving our things around..

So, we hanged ard the resort and waited till the last bus came to see if there's anymore room for us.

The good thing abt bintan lagoon is, there's tons of activities to do.. After so much worrying of getting bored on the island, now our worry was "got enough time to play so many things or not?"

The very first thing we played.... golf...

No lah, where got so pro. I meant range nia. labbit quite steady one... duno where he secretly learnt all his stuff

Casual wear was allowed, hence my improper outfit. And this is definitely a wrong pose. Do NOT learn.

VERY DIFFICULT TO PLAY LOR! It's not as easy as i thought. My ball wun fly. It just rolled and rolled and i can even hear "dong"..the ball dropped into the drain. Swinging wasn't easy. And i always hit the ground instead of the ball. PAIN!

nice view of pool and sea..

After tat, we made our way back to the counter, praying there's a deluxe room for us.

We got our deluxe room! So chio as compared to the previous one. Definitely more comfy!!

The difference also lies in the bathroom amenities, bathrobes, minibar...the bed..and the VIEW. We had a part pool, part grass and part seaview room. LOL!

Very very shiok. We promised ourselves to walk slowly in bintan. We, singaporeans have been walking too fast! Everything's in a rush! We must relaxxxxxx....

We went to the pool for a swim and it's dinner time! Tried the buffet and yucks. The food sucks. And it's ex! Aiyah, everything there is ex.

Not only our room number has 44.... even our table number was also 44..

I bought the Lucidol hair dye and brought it there. Always tried loreal and didn't know there lucidol's amount ain't much. So, after helping labbit with his hair, there isn't much left for mine. *wails*.
So pathetic. He had to use those on his hair to comb on mine. HAHA. Lucidol's really good. Nice colour!

We ended the night taking a stroll at the beach and relaxing in our very cosy room watching movies on tv.

Shiok..
