Actually.
I dont think Batam is a good place for holiday. I mean, FOR ME.
But what made this trip fun and memorable was the people who travel tgt.

Just my camera alone, there's ridiculously more than 400 photos.
You can imagine this Batam Trip was such fun.
& obviously, I didnt blog all the photos! But there's 111 photos in this post!

♥ heyo i'll make sure your eyeballs drop. blind you!

Okay, we start frm the morning in cab?
FYI, I was feeling totally awful in the morning. I feel that my throat is aching crazily. & I've got 2 papers to go before going Batam. The last thing I rem in sch is Sharon persuading me to stay in SG. hahaha


Boyf took half day leave to send me off. Lunch at Vivo :D
Talk to his hands.

"CAREFUL!! GOT HOLE"

Aft the first night, SHAGGGGGED. we went back to hotel
I tell you, Steph loves advertising for drinks.


Im resting my elbows on the table. Not acting cute at all; its 2am anw.


Waiting for food. Oh man man man. I realized that in Batam, it takes ages for the food to be served. I waited for 30mins for my fried rice to be served. I mean, they took whole 30mins to cook my orders, there wasnt any other orders before of me.


SADDDDDD! My sore throat was still VERY bad & I got to force myself to drink any herbal tea thats within my reach :( Pls dont ask me if it taste good. Herbal tea where got nice one?


Split into 4 hotels, we're allocated Hotel Utama;
which is consider is a good hotel there.




Whilst walking for supper, Meddy told us that in indonesia, its v dangerous if a small bunch of girls go out in midnight. Esp wit Steph's american-print hotpants. You know why.


How is it possible to miss out seafood in Batam!?
