Bintan Trip 12-13 June 2009











We went to Bintan with Eugene's colleagues; Yu Zhongm, Elizabeth and Shu Zhen.
Day 1: Arrived around 10 a.m., we went for a short trip outside for lunch and bought snacks.
Check-in at 2.00 p.m. , we went to the beach for kayaking and frisbee and turtle sand making.
Dinner; We cooked Yong Tau Fu Laksa. Played some card games with orange vodka for drinks.

Day 2: Woke up at 7.45 a.m. Went for the breakfast buffet. ATV at 10 a.m. I lost control while up a slope and crashed into a drain and tree within 10 minutes of the session. Fruit lunch back to the villa and went to the sports centre for laser quest. The guys beated the gals team. Snorkeling at 2.oo p.m. Our first time snorkelling, very excited. First time experience with the fishes swimming around us. Although, everywhere is quite similar and the corals are not that colourful. Got bored after sometime. We played frisbee and went for a swim at the pool. We were very shocked when we reached the villa and found out it's only 6.30 p.m. We cooked ourselves spaghetti for dinner. Went to the sports centre to play again....Eugene was angry and scolded me that I did not have sportmanship at the soccer table... ( Ya I cheated but I will remember it one lor) Went back and watched a movie on the spiderwick chronicles till 12... We went to bed.. Totally knocked out.

Day 3: Woke up at 8.15 a.m. Buffet breakfast and packed our stuff for checking out. A ride to our spa at 10 a.m. Very cheap, only $44 for 2 hours massage. I tried the hot stones, the stones were really hot. Not going to do it again. Eugene did the bintan relax (Massage and scrub). Lunch at their hawker centre. Ferry ride at 2.30. We just discovered that there is FOS shop at the terminal itself but too late got the ferry to catch.
