The restaurant was just beside and we were getting hungry.

Chanced upon this on the way to the restaurant, so cooooooool ... !

Got to the restaurant and was greeted with free wi-fi, surprisingly fast as well :)

Best Indo cuisine I ever had

We lepak-ed and chilled in the restaurant so we could enjoy the food. My cousin and I made full use of the high-speed wi-fi to access facebook and do some last minute app-downloading etc.. #typicalkiasuSingaporean haha.

After lunch, we headed out for some fresh air and to explore around

I didn't realise they were in the wrong order until now >.<

Our luggage, which were helped on to our rooms by the staff

We were offered a ride on their buggies to our rooms

My unit, 812

My cousin's unit was up this slope. Super annoying, every time wanna go back there must climb up, damn tiring!

The reason for the f*cked up contour?

Cause his unit was freaking 3-storey!!! Though mine was bigger, it was only 1-storey. But in the end I didn't complain because there weren't enough beds in my unit, so I had to sleep with my cousin's family in his 3-storey unit for the whole trip. Muahaha.

His unit - 806

Stairs to access his Basement (Lvl 1)

Entrance/Exit of the basement

Balcony(which was linked to the bedrooms)

Bedrooms and bathrooms -
(Level 3)

Our room that my cousin and I slept in. Looks cozy and definitely felt that way too! ^-^

We had our own bathroom just outside our room. It was sorta like a mini-corridor outside our room.

Master-bedroom(a.k.a the most awkward word ever to read out loud) that my cousin's parents slept in

(Level 2)

Staircases that led to the main entrance

The main entrance...(from outside)

Living room / kitchen -
(Level 1 / Basement)

Spent most of our time down here :) There was Ethernet cable and cable TV :P

After all the housewarming, we headed out to enjoy the scenery and explore.

Wut.

View of the villas from the beach

Lovely panorama of the beach

View of the beach from the top

Greeted by a playground when we reached the top

Hahaha!

My mum and I

This again hahaha, why was it in the opposite order?!

It was a floating restaurant. I love floating restaurants.

I was rushing to finish dinner cause I had a football match I didn't want to miss. Turns out the villa had ESPN and Star Sports, I even checked online via the Indonesian satellite channel guide to check if they would air it or not. Turns out they would, but IDK why when I got back, they weren't showing... It was a super important match between Man Utd and Man City so I was desperate and watched it via live stream on my laptop. It was super laggy but that was the only choice I had :(

It was all worth it in the end though, cause the final result was City 2-3 United ! I was left in ecstasy afterwards cause it was a 90th-minute goal ! :P

We spent the remainder of the night chatting, playing cards, watching tv, enjoying the view via the balcony etc..




Well that pretty much wrapped up a long & tiring Day 1..
Went back to shower and sleep and got ready for Day 2.

Day 2 (Tour around city)

Woke up at 7+ a.m as we were scheduled to go on a mini-tour from morning till evening. I was struggling to fall asleep the previous night cause my body clock was still screwed, but the bed was so comfy I couldn't help it (luckily). Haha.

We then headed to the town side via the tour van.

Our first destination was to a local Buddhist temple.

After that, we went to a Ralph Lauren shop selling Ralph Lauren apparel, wallets, etc..

They were selling these fake Beats Headphones for $40 SGD. So fail can, 1/5 the price of authentic ones, you think people will fall for it meh? LOL

After buying like almost $200 worth of chocolates(including gifts), our next destination was to the nearby provisions shop for a quick stock up on snacks and food.

All the chocolate I bought

Following this quick stop, was a visit to the Batam layer cake(Kueh Lapis) factory.









 All the Kueh Lapis made us hungry, luckily, lunch appropriately followed.

You know your food's fresh when it's being kept right outside the restaurant

GIANT coconut

After filling our stomachs with delightfully fresh seafood, we went to walk around this place which was like a exhibit of Indonesian houses(in miniature form of course)






















After a tiring day so far, the best part was saved for last. Shopping!
We were given 4-5 hours to shop to our hearts' content before going back on the bus to the resort.

Started off with traditional Indo merchandise/souvenirs










Then another Ralph Lauren shop.. but with more variety












Then finally the main, proper indoor/air-conditioned shopping mall. It was a good opportunity for us to chill.












Just slacked around in the arcade, food court & pretty much just walked around for 4-5 hours. During my way out, however, I noticed a sports shop selling sports apparel and I had to get them. Ended up delaying the bus cause they were waiting for us =x, but totally worth it!

Full set of MUFC jerseys ^_^ !!!

That pretty much wrapped up the day's tour and we were to head back to our resort and it was already dark.

Day 3 (Departure and Home Sweet Home) 

Saw a group of turkeys on our way to checkout. First time seeing a turkey in real life =0

Chilling in the lounge for the last time

Playing pool while waiting for our departure bus to pick us up

Last "family" photo together :)
