Bintan trip - 21st July

i know it's been long since i've updated...been reali busy wit work & catching up wit my life... well, here's the update:

On the 21st July, my family org a trip to Bintan together with my uncle's family...there's suppose to be 3 families but one family cldnt make it the last moment. nonetheless, we still had fun... but the oni drawback was, it was raining thus our activities were constraint... the oni thing we did was - EAT, EAT & EAT!!!! Hahahahha! yes, we kept eating & snacking... We stayed in Bintan Lagoon where we rented this huge double-storey house... each hse had a buggy so we cld transport ard...

We took the ferry at 5pm & the ride was close to an hr... and guess wat?? the ferry had a mini stall!!! yes... they sell food, drinks, tidbits, ice-cream etc... it isnt the same as the ferry i take to work.. LOL!

the procedure to enter frm spore to bintan is the same as going to the air-port & checking in... once we reach the island,we took the transport to the hotel where my uncle was waiting for us (they went der a day earlier)... and guess who else was waiting for us? the traditional dancers!! they dance while we came dwn the bus.. the music was nice & the dance was beautiful...

so we went to the hse to place our luggage...and the hse was so beautiful! well, the 1st nite pretty slacky... we went dwn to the hotel for dinner at sme italian restaurant... well, everyone had gr8 food all except me cos i ordered sme weird food & it tasted funny... so i ended up taking few bites frm everyone else... aft dinner, we were toking & i was playin wit my 3yr old cousin, priyanka, under the table.. LOL! it was so funny..she ddnt have any1 to play wit so we ended up playing together (all the weird imaginery activities these kids can come up with!!!)... Bed time!! and guess wat? my cousin who nvr leaves her mom's side wanted to slp with me... hahah! all of us were shocked... so we dragged her pillow into my rm & we arranged for her to slp on the flr...in the end, she slpt beside me.. LOL! i ws praying she wnt cry in the middle of the nite..

2nd day was supposed to be a fun-filled day or so we tot... we were planning to go dwn to the beach aft breakfast... my uncle, my aunt, my 3yr old cousin,my bro & me set off 1st to the beach (the buggy can oni hold 4 adults)... my mom,dad, granny & sis will be coming at the 2nd round...

My uncle dropped us off to pick up the rest... while walking, we hrd a loud bang... when we turned ard, my uncle drove head down into a 2meter deep, 4meter wide drain... Boy! we were shocked! i dropped my bag on the spot & we ran towards the drain.. Thank GOD my uncle came crawling out... he had bruises all over his body... we were worried he wld b unconsious..my aunt asked sme of the staff working der to bring him to the clinic & my aunt & cuzzie followed him... i called my Dad (Thank God again i brought my hp along which i ddnt want to initially)... told him to report to the lobby to gt to the clinic... soon after, me & my bro collected the bags & head dwn to the lobby which was so far away.... went to the lobby & an assistant brought us to a clinic...abt 30mins later, the rest came in...

The good thing is, lucky thing all of us werent in the buggy... my aunt is pregnant, my cuzzie wld b shocked (she ws shocked to see her dad inside the drain all wet, muddy & bleeding), me & bro we were sitting outside would hve been badly injured...

after tat,he made a report etc den we went back... my uncle went to shower, the rest to the swimming pool... my family members did temp tatoos...oh ya,everything der are in Sing$ & it's nt cheap...

Lunch time, we went back, ate a bit den my dad, mom, bro & me made arrangements to go dwn to a pasar malam to do body massage... we arranged for a taxi (S$40 for to & fro)...he picked us up & off we went... it was good... but i told the masseur not to touch my lower back cos of my slip disc (it gt worst overtime)... aft tat we were served wit hot ginger tea...it was so refreshing...

we wanted to shop bt it was so ex... i ddnt wan to spend so much...den head back... den dinner!! sme of us had buffet & the rest ala-carte... the was good... (it's a 5 star hotel... saw their achievement cert hanging smewhere)... yes, the service was good...

3rd day, time to go home!!! after breakfast, we went to the beach, played wit sand & head back, packed & watched tv... we had smeone drop by to help us wit the luggage & transport to the jetty.. once we reach the jetty, we waited & gt priority to board 1st cos we had a child & an elderly wit us.. heheheh! finally back hme... it was nice gathering though but reali ex considering we ddnt do much... i wldnt mind gg wit frens for night clubs.. bt nt with family...
