The Bintan Trip

I have to say that the Bintan trip was a great one, everything was so natural, so relaxing...

On 23/4, a saturday, we mk our way down to tanah merah ferry terminal to tk a ferry to Bintan. The ferry was rather shakey initially and my poor girlfriend exprienced seasick but it wasn't really bad afterall. 45mins ltr we arrived at our destination, Bintan. Everyting looks simple and there wasn't alot of ppl. We walked out from the custom and were approached by this frenly guy from Angsana resort. He lead us to the bus the would bring us to the resort. We alight the bus and check in to our hotel, the staff there were exellent in their customer service. Ive stayed in so many hotels in singapore, but i have to say tt the svc provided wasn't as good as wat was provided in Angsana. I requested for a queen size bed, but im not too sure y we were given a twin room instead. Probably i did not inform the travel agency properly. The staff at Angsana immediately to hv the 2 beds to combine them into one, and trust me tt it still feels really comfortable lying on it.

On the 1st day we jus kinda laze around n the room, n explore the beautiful beach. The water was so clear tt i can see my feet clearly when im in the water. There were all these rocks making the beach so beautiful. I stroll along the beach wif my gf, and everyting jus seem so relaxing and simple. We had our dinner at their lotus cafe, its quite a nice place. Not air conditioned, but the admosphere is gd, other than lotsa mosquitoes. My legs and arms were implanted wif 20 over bites, all contributed while im having my dinner at the cafe. haha!

The best part abt the room is actually the balcony... a balcony tt faces the sea?! can u imagine every morning when u wake up and walked to the balcony to hv a smoke, viewing the beautiful sea, listen to the sound of the waves, smelling the sea and the sand.... I wish that was my house. The time at Bintan passes slower, i duno why. But tts wat me and my gf reckon so. Probably their time is 1hr behind Singapore's time..

We played Jet Ski, canoeing the next day. Jet Ski was fun, expecially when u really speed up n when u almost fly off ur jet ski. Canoeing is fun too, coz i get to paddle around wif my love one. Its romantic n hilarous too.. After the seasports, we saw these hermit crabs and darling got so fasinated by them! We stopped and played with them lik some big kids. We den went for a swim in the sea and of coz the pool too. Right after all these, i begin to feel sick. Before that i was oredi suffering from a bad sorethroat. I was feeling really weak and right after dinner i collasped. My poor gf gotta take care of me the whole nite, change the wet towel for me to put on my forehead. And i can't kp the promise of bringing her to the beach at nite n hanging out at the seaside drinking area. I felt so bad, coz i was really half dead, n everyting seem so imaginary to me. haha! But im really thankful to my patient and caring gf, if nt i wud hv died in Bintan i guess.

Now that we are back in singapore, we miss Bintan so much!!!!!!!!!! Now we gonna look forward to our next trip n sept... Hong Kong!!
