Sun-kissed Happiness! :D

And i did go para-sailing!! See my happy pic:

Haha it was fun but wayy too short! I think the guy undercut me..coz wl was up in the air for much longer until his hair got permed Fido-Dido style.

Well, Batam was exactly how my lil' bro described it - barren with not much to do - but the service at Harris Resort was excellent! I would even go the extent to say, the service there might have qie-ed all the hotels i've been to in the USA and Europe. No, not might have. Confirm!!

Ok la, granted nobody goes to Batam except bored (cheapo) S'poreans and bored tourists from S'pore. Coz the hotel definitely seemed to have more staff than customers on Friday and Monday. But at least they kept their enthusiasm and almost everyone greeted us all times of the day when we passed by. That's what great service is!

Anyway, we also went to Nagoya Town, the downtown area of the island for a lil' shopping. Well, i wouldn't really call it shopping la. It really was a larger version of Queensway Shopping Centre, like my bro said. haha. But their supermarket was SUPER neat!! It was very funny coz wl noticed that after we took 2 cans of green tea off the shelf the supermarket attendants immediately went to arrange the cans. Check out their overall layout:

 Machiam supermarket ad campaign right!! Either their service is damn good, or they got nothing to do, or will get salary cut if the supervisor sees a dent in the shelves, or there are simply no customers taking things off the shelves. I'll go with the first option. Service Ups man!

And then we saw this on the shelves:

A whole shelf of fireworks and explosives!! Look at WL's excited face haha.

Let me post a closer picture.



Oh, these sure bring back memories of our first DIY fireworks in Texas! Looks the same albeit larger version. Wish we could have bought these back to SG, if only we didn't have so many high-rise flats -__-....among other laws... 

So no DIY fireworks this CNY (haha as if there was ever), but we did get the famous Kueh Lapis that both our moms were raving about. I didn't know that S$20 for a big box of Kueh Lapis was considered cheap, if not we would have gotten more boxes of the really fragrant cakes!

The rest of the time spent in Batam was in their big pool, shooting hoops in the water. We played with the ball so much that the swimming pool attendant gave us the ball when we got towels on the third day. haha.

haha. ok lame. Yupyup, other than that, their massage package isn't much to rave about, maybe coz we booked the 8pm-11pm slot (it was a 3hr spa sensation package) and the masseurs were probably too tired or sth. But they had an awesome foam milk bath thing which was SUPER FUN! Lol. Maybe that's what foam parties feel like! We might actually consider having a big bath tub for foam baths in our house next time. heh heh.



Alrighty, end off with a nice pic of my newly Chestnut-Browned hair! :) New hair, for new career tomorrow!!! Woots!
