Welcome to Tanjung Pinang

Dearest readers!!!!!!!!! How've you been?! Busy preparing for Christmas gift exchanges and parties? Madly enjoying???!?!?!? Awwwwwwww let me share with you my short 2D1N trip to Bintan from 22/12/12 to 23/12/12 !!!!!!!!


My very first visit to wulu tanah merah ferry terminal..... I'm heading to Bintan with Seb, Candy and KJ. Candy initiated an overseas trip some time back, KJ booked through Groupon, Seb paid for me and I printed everything I could. LOL kiasi kiasu max. It's our very first friends trip, totally unsure how everything would turn out to be. =/


Da fugggggggg so many people. I didn't explore about cos it's so damn crowded.........................and I was freak tired. LOL


It's the Christmas season crowd getaway on a busy weekend/school holidays...... TOTAL madness. As usual, we started with endless waits since Singapore's Time 7am++....


SG 750am: Waitingggggggggggg and waiting.......................


I was too tired to bother about the gates so Seb went to check it out. Initially we queued the wrong one and then we re-queued. The crowd's just TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHH to handle..... so the mess and lack of proper checking and communication. BLAH. Travel woes.


SG 845am: Mood level finally UPz a little when I saw this SHIOK scene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Already in love by looking at the ship... looks like it can speed.


Seb & I self-entertained while the other 2 sitting behind us just slept.


True enough, Indo Falcon 3 speed is ZOOOOOOOOMZ and I really liked those waters and its droplets splashing on meeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I could feel those waves~~


A little overwhelming wind at the top deck..... LOL DAMN IT IT'S SHIOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The milo/hot chocolate was really thick and good... I love chocolatey stuff. Mehhhhh I was freak hungry yet too excited to eat, haha!


I screamed for shades from a random Indian lady. She must have thought I was mad. LOL


The waters..... just.... so so blue. I doubt everyone visited the top deck... cos there's pretty limited seats!


Windy and vast view..... just like my cruise adventure with Royal Caribbean, Legend of the Seas!


I survived a 1h 15 minute high speed boat ride. 3 cheers to myself!


Hi, Welcome to Tanjung Pinang, Bintan. Being in Indonesia again so reminds me of Batam.......


Indonesia's time is 1 hour behind Singapore's time. *Enters Indonesia Time Zone Mode*


1030am: I felt like we were directed by a few tour guides before we FINALLY reached this car. As predicted, everything was quite confusing at the start but oh well...


Pretty clean and comfy ride still! I thought we would be in minibus but this was sooooooooo upz. Aww is that mario?



1050am: Our first activity - 1 hour traditional balinese full body massage.......


There was quite some laughter and waits here and there because of language barrier lol


I didn't had a thorough 101% relaxed rest but it was still alright


Somehow I felt more tired after the massage


We were served with ginger tea which was like woah so 'spicy' ...


I tipped my masseur Rp. 100,000......... because I don't have any small change. Lol but she's quite cute and like pretty young O_O


1230pm: Hopped onto another car with colourful caterpillar softtoys inside....


For our second activity - "Depot" ayam penyet Indonesian lunchhhhhhhieeeee


So there was blackout halfway through our food and we ate and sweat at the same time....... but I liked sitting down like that~ aww. We also signed up for an optional trip while waiting for the longest time for our ayam penyet.....


The chicken was very hot... rice was soft... vege was hard and soup's sourish spicy. Overall still yummmmmmmmmy!


130pm: While waiting for another random vehicle to drive us to our hotel to drop our bags before proceeding for our OPTIONAL TRIP bintan shopping .........


I just had to self-entertain. This should be the boss..... I think. LOL I anyhow. But she sure does look similar to the one in the picture right??!?!?!?!? LOL


I sure was pretty excited yet slightly bored with the waiting at that point in time... actually I was quite irritated because I couldn't understand their language and menu.... tsk.


IT'S FREAKING RAINING......... ok, should be drizzling.


2pm: On our way for our supposing highlight - 2D1N Bintan 4-Star Aston Tanjung Pinang Hotel Superior Room Stay.

STAY TUNED
