Yeah have a very very quick chat with the custom police[haha weird] then off to the Wavemaster^^ The journey was a little draggy.I spent 45 mintues tilting my head and when i woke up,it hurts like hell.I was kinda freaking out going to Batam after hearing lots of bizarre incidence that happen to our fellow singaporeans there.Freaky!! So the custom was very small and cute. Ok,our trip were very easy flowing as we got a tour van to drive us anywhere. Kinda pumped up to see our hotel:] Had alot of laughs in the van.Tried our best to speak indon haha kinda lame and all messed up.We even messed the drivers name,i believe his name was Pak Mul.Because of lack of ear digging,we the one who give the uncle a name.My mom called him 'Pak Abu'.My bro called him'Paul Mall' and i called him 'Pak Wul'.Haha he didnt seem pissed about it. Journey to the Panaroma Regency Hotel was very interesting and funny. There's alot of massage parlor and people riding on motorcycle with 3/4 passengers. Haha scary and dangerous.There's Seoul Garden there but it looked kinda messed up.So yeah reached the hotel.Looks grand and expensive;ratings 7/10.
The garden outside the hotel were pretty breathtaking somehow.BUT we weren't allowed to check in early because of dont-know-the-reason-was;bittersweet.So yeah we decided to go and sightseeing first before checking in.We went to their 'mall' which looks kinda,haiyo don't want to say lah.The journey there were very terrifying because the streets looked deserted 0.0 Seriously,the shops all were close and the construction site that were nearby were empty. Haha,at the mall we decided to go to the supermarket.My mom and auntie got this mission to buy this Soy Sauce that cant be found in singapore[rolling my eyes] All of the price were very very cheap.I bought nothing actually.Most of the money were spend on toiletries[hahahaha] The shampoo were very cheap and it would be like for guys-who-loves-wax to be there as the price of one wax were like $1 or $2[hahaha] After buying all that stuff.Went to eat a Nasi Padang called the Mak Eteh.I had a bad feeling about going to there.First,i'm not a fan of nasi padang.
Second,i'm very unsure on how they cook the meal
Third,i don't really trust local shops at Batam,especially when they serves food
Fourth,i'm very scared of what i'm gonna eat
So we reached there.When i saw the shop,my mouth fell to the core of the earth.It's not where i really wanted to eat.The place was a little dirty and haiyo,it's very unpleasant.My cousin got the pic of the shop[hope she's updating soon] So we sat at this long table.All were feeling unsure especially me.
Catch this:
We're not suppose to order anything.We will be served with alot alot alot of dishes and the rule is,YOU TOUCHED THE FOOD,YOU'LL PAY FOR IT.So the waiter came holding more then 15 plates with only two hand.Yes let me repeat that,15 PLATES WITH ONLY TWO HAND.They stacked it in a very elaborate way.So,drop,and you're dead.
So the food arrived,and when it were being served on the table,my appetite swam back to Singapore.Omg,it was pretty horrifying[but it's still food] Study the picture below for reference.
Btw,the dish on top of the two eggs,are birds not chicken.Yes,BIRDS! THEY TOLD US WHEN ME AND MY BRO WERE HALFWAY EATING IT.In a weird twisted way,it tasted good.
There cow brains and some black meat on the table.I ate two dishes only which is the egg curry and the BIRD.After an unsatisfying meal,the bill came and wanna know how much it was? 1 MILLION RUPIAH=100+ SINGAPORE! Kinda pissed but at least there's food. So went to the Ralph Lauren Polo shop.Nothing interesting.Pak Mul told us that there will be people selling knick-knacks outside so if you have no interest in buying it,DON'T EVEN LOOK AT IT AND WALK AWAY. CAUSE THIS GUY MEAN BUSINESS.SCARY HAH. After that,went back to the hotel and me and my bro had a nice nap before continuing our journey again at nightWoke up around 5pm[indonesian time].Wash up and took some pics with my bro[i know it's about time] Haha:]
So then went to Mega Mall! Finally civilisation:] We were freaking excited to have a proper dinner.As we step out of the van.The first thing that caught our attention was the A&W. I almost tear up haha[over eh] So decided to camwhore with the bear and had a scrumptious din din:]
NOW TELL ME IF THIS DOESN'T LOOK APPETISING! I SHALL PUNCH YOU RIGHT IN THE FACE:] The Root Beer Float in a gigantic mug,the golden crisp curly fries and chicken and the heavenly taste of its vanilla ice cream sends your taste buds to a trip to heaven^^
15 minutes later:]
Singaporeans was here:]After getting our bloated,decided to shop.Didnt bought anything.My bro bought a Levi's plaid shirt which was uber cheap,comparing the price there with singapore's.It was like $30+ Singapore Dollars.How cheap is that.Not sure what both of my parents bought.I got my eyes on this Burberry sling bag which was very very very very very cute but i wasn't sure that it looks good with any of my clothing so *TEEET*
After a tiring trip we decided to head back to our hotel. Before we check in our room,we went to this gross bazaar which sells everything people don't want to buy.Then head to a closing Indonesian version of tampines mart and bought us some drinks before checking in. *yawn* then we hit the sack and ZzzzZzzzz:]
Day 2
We were punped up to experience some hotel activities which was swimming,jacuzzi,gym and sauna:] I went for a swim and my mom and auntie and my soon-to-be cousin were doing something valled 'Aerobic' which was weird because the music played were a dangdut song:] So three of them gelek-gelek only^^

Before taking a swim,i had my own fun with my camera:]
The view were very breathtaking.It almost makes me feel happy looking at the developing country grew:] So after a few laps with my uncle and cousin and dad,changed and went for a hotel breakfast.We were the only family there so,all of the dishes were OURS MUAHAHAHA. The food was alright.After breakfast,we packed our bag and check out.
But the trip was not over yet.We kanak-kanak ceria took some group shots:]
my dearest cousins/auntie/uncle
The one with the blue plaid shirt hugging my brother is Pak Mul:]
We decided to go to the Crackers/Keropok shops.They were alot of kids begging for money which really hits me.Catch this:
I am the type that usually don't like letting people down especially small kids.So there was this small boy around the age of 9 to 10 y/o,came up to me and ask me for money.The tour guide told us not to give any money or the whole group of kids will surround us asking for money too[i think] The small boy look directly at me and i looked at him back.I said to him 'maaf ya dek' .After hearing that,he gave me the most dissapointed face i had ever seen in a small kid's face.It freaking hits me hard and my brother clarify to me that this kid were actually force to this thing.There were 2 teen that was around our age and wearing really nice clothes there really made me feel uneasy.
So we left the place and the scenario that happen to me still bothers me.Anyway, we decided to be thrifty and have a cheap lunch.My mom were all worked up with Mee Bakso,so we went to this mee bakso shop.The place were ok,not as bad as i expected.Most of the thing in the menu we don't understand but we still tried it and YES IT WAS FREAKING DELICIOUS.The meat were very peculiar to us because the previous time we ate meat,it was BIRD.Not bothering about what we were eating,i just continue eating. Then when we looked to our left,there was this big sign showing the Mee Bakso and there were a big caption above it saying "BAKSO MALANG"
i was like 0.0 we're so dead... haha
Then we head to a mall which the name i don't know.It was for muslimah so my cousin and auntie and mom go cuckoo over the tudongs and kain.So -fast forward- and did i tell you that we met another cousin of ours there haha what a small world indeed:]
Our last destination was at Batam City square.The place was ok and lots of excitement.Decided to walk around its Indonesian version of Popular.I bought a pencil,file and a wallet [hahaha how pathetic can i be]
Catch this:
Me and bro and cousin went to the toilet.Upon waiting for the lady to finish,my bro challenge me to a jumping contest and the objective was to touch the signboard that was dangling.So my bro went first and he did it.Then the pathetic thing happened,there were a group of girls across the hallway,watching us.Then they cheered for me and my brother 0.0 WEIRD HAH. SICKO.
Went to Hypermart and bought lots of Mie Sedap which was so sedap haha:] Then have a late lunch at BFC yes let me repeat that BFC.It's a twisted version of KFC.Best Fried Chicken haha:]
Then bye bye Batam and hello Singapore:] The trip was fun and worth it!And for more pictures please do visit my Cuzzy Ernie's Blog:] lots of funny vids and pics^^
