Jay's Visit - Part 1: Batam Trip ^__^

Howdy friends? Was too lethargic to blog these days. Boooh!

Last Aug 5 - 14 Jay went here to visit me. Well, he had no choice, he's got 33 vacation leaves and his company had forced him to take 13 away as those won't be carried over the next fiscal year. He's already been to almost all tourist destinations here in Singapore so I had to plan for a budget friendly out of the country trip-there's this site, www.deal.com.sg, that I've been watching out for quite some time already. Fortunately we were able to avail a 2D1N Batam trip worth 75 SGD per pax. The promotion is inclusive of 2 way ferry ticket, 1 night hotel accommodation with breakfast, City tour, seafood lunch and1 hour whole body massage. Good steal lah!

Date: August 6-7, 2011

Indonesian currency, Rupiah. With just 145 SGD (5000 php)  you can become a millionaire in Indonesia. 

We stayed at the 7th floor of the hotel

here's one of my fave shots, with my hands shouting HE'S MINE! =)

Our first day was a free-and-easy day. We were thrilled when the tour guide told us that it would only cost us 2.5 SGD (90 php) to see a movie. We've agreed to watch 3 to 4 movies but to our dismay there were only 2 movies that were shown-and we already have seen them couple of month ago. Kaya pala mura. Hehe. =)

So we ended up singing at a videoke bar

havin' some talk over a cup of coffee at the hotel lobby

Jay ordered hot chocolate, while i requested for a milk which dragged me to bed 30 minutes later

Before going down for breakfast I asked him to pose for the camera. This is our 1st monthsary picture and one of the few monthsaries that we're together...Smile!!

Jay's not so happy with the breakfast..no food victored his taste buds :(

Tita and I playing around :)

Taken inside the tour bus. It was freezing cold but for the sake of good photos I had to take off my jacket =)

Forgot to mention, the package is also inclusive of 20% off shopping voucher at this souvenir shop

We ended our holiday with a delish dinner at Queens Restaurant situated along the Sentosa Boardwalk in Singapore. The place was introduced to me by my colleagues. The ambiance was very great! It will really put your feet up while enjoying the scenic view. Thank you Lord for this life! =)

i took a roasted chicken with mashed potato. Really luscious!!

Jay's food - crispy fish fillet. I love the potato fries!
