Sabbatical Trip

we have just returned back from our Bintan trip.

will post more photos soon!

Bintan MORNING

Good morning Bintan!!!
Sun rays that shine to my buttocks like the chinese saying goes :
太阳都嗮到屁骨上!

it was so sunny that i had to wake up! and when i saw the clock, i almost couldn't believe the time. It was only 6.45am!
When i'm working, waking up at 8am is so early! And i still wanna go back to sleep. And now that i'm on a holiday, my body just wakes up so freaking early!

*holler* What's the matter with me

Lucky thing the breakfast buffet starts pretty early too at 7am. So i shook mr goh until he cannot groan anymore and pretend to be asleep. Forced him to wash up, changed and walk with me to have our breakfast! hehehe....am i evil or what.

hahah if i can't fall back to sleep. He also cannot!



that's grouchy mr goh surveying the breakfast spread. And giving me the "eye" when i was snapping photos of him waiting for his eggs being done.

Happy me taking my plate of sausages and eggs.

Did i mention that i was wearing my smacking new "yachting" theme anchor print tee and heart-shaped print green shorts!!! *smug*

That's my breakfast that morning! Egg omelette with 2 sausages and cucumbers for greens. For energy, i opted for a bowl of congee topped with spring onions, anchovies, a teeny wee bit of salted egg and chai-boh. *happy smiles*

3rd photo on the far right is mr goh's breakfast. He's having egg omelette as well, piece of toasted baguette with ham on the sides and a cuppa fresh orange juice.

i'm having my regular dose of coffee that morning as usual. Besides the usual spread of breakfast served, there's also cereals, nasi lemak, some oriental dishes like fried rice and beehoon with grilled potatoes; salad, pancakes, tarts and pastries; scones and crossiant; 3 kinds of fruits: pineapple, watermelon and oranges. Not really a wide variety but i guess for 2 days of breakfast. I can live with it. hahah...am i picky or what? *sniggle*

After breakfast, we strolled the meandering path back to our chalet and ahren is already waiting for us with his underwater camera!!!

IT"S TIME FOR SNORKELING!

Bintan Day 01 - The arrival

Taduh! and we are at the Lobby of our Resort! So Pretty!! everything and anything! hahaha...so good to get a quick holiday really.

I just find that a weekend that includes saturday and sunday is so not enough rest for me. Saturday usually i will sleep late, clean the room, wash my clothes and if i have enough strength, i might catch a movie, get some shopping done and finish up my whatever's left of errands.

Sunday is usually waking up pretty early to spend breakfast with my parents at maxwell market. Down to the market to buy meat for the dogs. Edit my photos, probably have a quick lunch at tanglin, pack my messy room yet again. Lay on the bed till evening and maybe catch some telly. And soon, dusk falls and it's time for dinner and before u know it. it's monday. SO BLUE.....

BUT....
today is friday!!!! muahahahahha and it's only 8am Bintan time and im facing the bright blue sky, the crystal clear seas and the big wide sandy beach!







Pretty flower series.

Just gotten our keys from the reception and we are heading towards our new home for the next 2 nights! - Octopussy 4!

white sandy beach. Freshly trough. Balmy breeze. WONDERFUL.

That's our chalet! And just outside of our porch are 2 personal sundeck chair and a swinging hammock! SWEET!



will post the afternoon soon!

Our room!

that's our key with a very big keychain with our room name on it!
Making sure that we wouldn't lose it man...so big! Dun think we will ever forget about it!

anyway, we managed to get an early check-in! and so we quickly got ourselves over to our chalet, put our bags down, inspect the room, especially the toilet...and shucks! They have a bath-tub in there!!!!
And i didnt bring my Bodyshop bubble bath! SOB! SOB!

i think i'm pretty pleased with the overall hygiene of the room and it's very spacious for the 2 of us. TV abit small though but nonetheless, we are here for the sun, sand and beach; not the black box! Although they do have HBO....hmmm.... okay okay, let's not get diverted from our real intentions here!


view of our balcony facing the beach just within steps away!!!! And our pretty window sunscreen! engraved in an octopus shape. Beside our window is a lovely rattan chair in meditarrean colours...very cheery indeed. Can you see the coconut trees outside????

Righty, this 3 photos will give u a better overview of our room/chalet.

as you can see, the middle photo has a door that leads to the walk in wardrobe and bathroom.

To the right is the tv cabinet plus a day-bed where we left our barang barang...

ritey, and of cos to finish the inspection of the room is my very own typical bed-shot! *wink*
