All sorts of fun.

omg. finally ive the time to blog :D
(SUPER LONG POST !)

so over the weekend, nigel &i went to turi beach resort at batam.

took loads of pictures. i guess im fond of memories.
collaged most of them to save space.
*click collages to enlarge.

well, let the pictures do the talking :]

got on our boat at harbourfront ferry terminal.

(btw on the bus ride to the beach resort, we met a 21 year old butch with a 15 year old lesbian going for a holiday at one of the beach resorts too. we were so grossed out !!!)

1), 2), 3) lobby of turi beach resort
4) our room
5) nigel looking out our balcony
6) nigel on his queen sized bed
7) the front view of our hut
8) the road beside our hut

the roof.

we had an entire cosy hut all to ourselves.
with 2 queen sized beds. really gorgeous.

after settling in, we were hungry !

the hotel’s restaurant.

he ordered carbonara pasta &mushroom chicken soup.
i ordered fish &chips.

damn funny :D

all dressed for the pool right :D
cuz that’s our 2nd destination.
(right after a hearty lunch, no less. tsk !)

oh yes. a nice sunny afternoon. &their poolside is so gorgeous !
we didnt swim much though. didnt wna puke right.

just chilled at the pool bar.

1) nigel’s long island tea &my batam paradise cocktail.
+ caeser’s salad which nigel ordered later on.
okay, this is where i totally fell in love with caeser salad !
i never ate salad in my entire life. i hated it. i’m not such a big fan of vege !
at first i was scoffing at nigel “yucks you eat salad one meh. order for what ! waste money !”.
but then, i gobbled nearly half of it x:
so deliciousssss.

hehe.

nigel sitting by the poolside bar, wearing my hairband !

my gosh, its so fucking chillllllllllllllll.
i swear we can do this for the rest of our lives.

a partial view of the pool. love it ?
(there’s another beautiful pool on the other side. pictures below.)

okay the day was still young.
our next destination : beach !

water activities time !

so this is the highlight of my holiday, JET SKI !!!
okay, so its really expensive : SGD45 for 15mins ride / SGD65 for 30mins ride.
&they kinda cheated us cuz we said we wanted 15mins, yet they charged us for 30mins.
oh well right !

nigel the machoman sat in front to drive the thing.
so there’s different levels of speed &we could go til super duper fast.
it was so fun &scary !!! i asked him what if i flew off ?
then he asked me if i wna fly, so i said okay.
(NEVER IMAGINING HE WOULD REALLY MAKE ME FLY !!£$%^&)

so he accelerated the jet ski until the maximum speed &it was sooo fun cuz we were bumping against the waves &flying in the air.
until.

he made a sudden swerve.
that’s when the whole jet ski overturned (we were super far from shore !)
he claims he kicked it back before it fully overturned.
but what do i know ? i was totally submerged underwater !!!
my eyes were closed shut &i had a mouthful of terribly salty seawater.
i grabbed nigel with my arms &legs &wanted to climb on top of his shoulders. LOL.
until he started shouting at me “nicole ! relax relax relax YOU CAN FLOAT !”.

then i was like. oh.

then he pushed me up unto the jet ski again.
&actually a guy rode over to help us, but by the time he reached, we were up &safe already.

i actually cried quite badly !
so scared you know.
thought i was gna die.

hahaha. but it was super fun !
we actually switched positions (while out at sea !) so that i was the one driving for a while :D

anyway, after that, it was already too low tide to do anymore water activity so we said we’ll continue the next day.

pool shower !

my most favouritest picture.

nigel playing with ants. LOL.

okay finally, back to our room.

love the lighting.

bathed, changed &all.

then hotel’s japanese restaurant for dinner !

teppanyaki yo !
i ordered beef, fish &prawn combi. nigel ordered beef tenderloin as usual.
8) teppanyaki chef lighting huge fire on the beef tenderloin !
10), 11) our egg-wrapped noodle
12) vanilla ice cream dessert :D

quite cheap. sgd20++ for full course meal.
i think the food is so-so, but nigel loved it a lot.

jalan jalan after a full dinner.

the same pool during night time.

the pool at the other side of the resort !
this pool is smaller &just rectangle shaped. good for those who wanna swim laps.
the yellow lights are the pool’s waterfall lights.
5), 6) mini lights on the pool’s floor ! so pretty okay.

1st night !

our room is so glowyy.

2nd day !

buffet breakfast.
look at nigel’s plate (opposite), its like so nicely arranged like how they serve at restaurants. LOL.
i only took 1 prata &2 hashbrown because im not so ambitious.
hehe. i ate 1 bowl of cereal &1 piece of french toast aside from that too.

we went to the pool again after breakfast.
poolside bar again too. cocktails +caeser salad again.
actually drank alcohol every day during this holiday.
kept having “red face”, like natural blush x:

then we went to the beach to try banana boat.
SGD8/person/15mins.
its like really boring as compared to jet ski. hahaha.
cuz i love jet ski the bestest :]
can actually request the boatman to overturn your banana boat for fun.
but nigel specifically told them not to, in case i cry again -.-

after that we washed up to prepare for our massage :]
SGD40/55mins. i think its a bit more expensive. cant rmb.

have a blueblack on my shin from the massage though );

japanese restaurant for dinner again.

I L U.

2) my garlic butter prawns
3) nigel’s seafood platter
4) apple pie &ice cream.

hm. actually pple can travel outside of the hotel to eat, but the taxi costs SGD50 one-way to the city. &we just thought its not worth it. but nigel really did want to eat the seafood outside.
we’ll call more pple to come holiday with us the next time ! more fun lah.

after dinner we jalan jalan again.
went to see the island bar.


you have to take a long long bridge that is extended from the shore into the sea, to reach the island bar. damn ulu, so we left.

yes, we realised by the 2nd day (sunday), everyone on the resort was practically gone !
this is probably because, pple will stay 2d1n only (check in on sat, check out on sun morning).
whereas for us, we bought an extension night = 3d2n. we checked out on mon morning.

kinda not worth it. we really should have stayed 2d1n only.
because everything on the resort can be done within 1 &a half days.
by the 2nd day, we felt there’s nth much to do alr.

so anw, we went to the yacht club instead.
played pool, drank cocktails &watched this nice hbo movie til late.

next morning was check-out already.
so fassssst.

reached home about 7plus in the evening then slept the whole day !
tuesday, went to ikea with nigel &bought so many nonsense.
print the nice picture for his mum too.
so finally today, i am really free.
but tonight im going to zouk’s ladies night.
hehe. who wants to go, call me !!!!
