Darling did all the booking. He was bringing me to spa and massage cos' I was complaining of severe backache. So sweet of him! Weet! *jumps around in joy* I collected the vouchers, tickets on Thursday during lunch. It was amazing to see that in a corner of Peninsula Plaza, there's this travel agent, slightly bigger than the size of my room and close to 10 workers. Alrighty, collected and lunched at Pasta Mania, Funan. Favourite place for pasta! Satisfying!
The afternoon in office was a killer, one meeting after another. I can't finish the work that I am supposed to clear before I go for my leave. What's more, I had facial at night. Gotta rush there after work. Anyway, brought my work home so that I need not cancel my facial. Ultimate Indulgence...
Next morning, Darling and I woke up early to take go to HDB Hub to take a look at the showroom and models for their recently launched BTO projects, Punggol Sapphire and Compassvale Pearl. Fell in love with the 5 room unit. Too good to be true. Well, yes! we're gonna try our luck! *Prays real hard for a good queue no. please!*
After which, headed to Harbourfront and gonna get ready to board the ferry. Me who will be sea sicked was so nervous. I had to eat sweets, talk to Darling, listen to music to get my mind away from thinking that I will puke anytime. Still had some time before the departure time and thus, we took a walk in Vivocity. Yes, again we went to look at wedding bands. Hee, our dunno-how-many-times le. Just like to go and hear them suggest what to buy. Also, we can take a look if there are any new designs which we may fall for. Actually, we already got our minds fixed, just thinking which shopping mall to buy from to have the best deal. E.g. if you buy at Vivocity, every $50 spent = $1 of free parking. So far, this is the best deal! Anyone knows any better shopping centre deals? The jewellery store deal is same throughout the entire Singapore. We wanted extra perks from the shopping centre. Haha. Well, this is an informed decision made. Cos' it's a big ticket item, we gotta get the most out of it!
Board the ferry, got to Batam safely and was fetched to the hotel promptly. Got to rest our butts after the 1hr ferry ride for half an hour before someone will come and pick us up for our 3.5 hours spa and massage. Waited in the hotel lobby for half an hour and no one came. Darling and I started to get worried. We tried to call the spa but just could not get through. We had to call back to our travel agent in Singapore. Whilst waiting for the coordinator to call us back, we headed back to the room to watch TV - they have clear broadcasts of Channel 5, 8 and U! Yippie!
Received the call that they had a tyre problem on the way and thus was late. Told us to go downstairs in 5mins. We went down and saw a lady and we followed her to the car. Reaching the spa, we were welcomed with green tea. Headed to the couple room, undressed and lied face down on the bed. 1.5hrs whole body massage began, this is followed by 30mins foot reflexology, then 30mins ear candling, 30mins body mask and wrap and lastly a milk bath.
Throughout the process, it was quite painful when the person presses certain parts of your body. But after which, we felt really relaxed. We felt so light. After 3.5hours, we finally could head for dinner at this seafood restaurant recommended by the travel agent. It was so difficult to order cos' the waiters do not speak English nor Mandarin. We told the waiter to get someone who could speak English. Finally, we managed to order 1kg of chilli crab, 300g of golden prawns, baby kailan and hotplate toufu. The guy gave us 500g of prawns in the end! Humph! No way we could finish and we only knew about this when we called for the bill. Cabbed back to hotel and lied on the bed to watch TV till I fell asleep unknowingly. Guess after the relaxing massage, it was just so easy to fall asleep.
Next morning, woke up had the breakfast buffet in the hotel's restaurant and cabbed to the nearest shopping centre - Nagoya Hill Shopping Centre. Bought a lot of daily toiletries there, so damn cheap! Then came across a shop that sell clothes. Only one size per clothing. Haha and it's for S sized people, so bought 2 for my mum and 2 for my bro's gf. Too cheap to resist. So nice tops for only about $5 each. And I bought a Nike Watch. Too lazy to take a picture, show you all next time ba!
Best of all, A&W!
Rootbear float! Ahhh.... I m missing the rootbear!
Darling enjoying the float. See that smile on his face!
Waffle ice cream... to die for!
Argh, I miss this!After that, cabbed back to hotel to grab our stuff and get ready to hit the terminal! Home sweet home. Before we board the ferry, we went to Batam Centre to walk walk again. We ate at A&W again. Hee this time the chicken pieces and had 2 mugs of rootbear! Yummy! Slurp slurp! Bought cheap Wacoal bras and headed to board the ferry. And here I am back home again!
Seriously, I still don't feel like working. Can I have a longer break pls!!!
