Bintan now feels like a long time ago and I am desperate to go on another trip before school starts. But for now, I'm stuck working again. But it's a good thing right? Time converted to money is so much more precious.
Caught The Expendables a few days ago. For a movie so testosterone laden, it is rather good despite all the big bangs. I love action movies with a touch of humour in it. If not it's just
abt men and their big explosions.
Especially love Jason
Statham!
There's something
abt big, bald, rough-looking guys.
This weekend I decided to be totally domesticated. Bought groceries. And make rice
krispy bars:) I think the chocolate I use is not sweet enough. But overall. It turned out quite well.
Haha. But washing the pot after melting all the
marshmallows is seriously hard work! I chipped a nail with a ll the vigorous
scrubbing.
Haha.
Have a nice week ahead all:)

BINTAN TRIPWent for a short holiday with Feroz after I stopped working. Was damn last minute I booked everything only a week before. Haha. But it was fantastic! So happy:) Also concluded that if we travel I have to be the one that fills in all the damn forms. Blah. And I forgot the bring a pen. FAIL! Had to buy a pen at the ferry terminal. Haha. It shall be my travelling pen from now onwards.
Favourite photo of us!
This must be my best VS buy ever. Super useful huge travelling bag. It can fit more stuff den my puny luggage. With matching small bag somemore. Haha. But I look so bimbotic carrying matching bags. BUT the bags are really good ok.
Waiting to check in. Already sweating alot coz it's so sunny there.
I positively love my hair in this photo.
Hello there. I was bored to death waiting.
Feroz brought cheeseballs in a ziplock for me:)
Our rather large hotel room. It is rather large for the smallest room rite? Haha.
Totally redundant space that became very useful to put dirty clothes/shoes. Haha.
We are super happy we finally have air conditioning. And Feroz is not grumpy anymore coz he feels "homeless".
Went to ride the ATVs!
Had an accident but now I can't find the pictures of our ATV that fell into the ditch off the bridge. Our rides were for an hour but I think it ended up becoming 2 hrs. Replacement ATV broke down as well. I was attacked by insects.
We look stupid with our red helmets. Haha. I think I look more stupid coz the helmet is bigger den my head. It's like a mushroom is growing out of me.
Rode behind Feroz coz I'm afraid of driving all things with an engine. Haha. But in the end I drove for awhile back anyway. I'm not a very good driver at all. I have no sense of speed. I just press the accelerator and freak out at how fast I'm going. Haha.
Yay we are on our way to go up a very steep slope that was very hard to get up.
Feroz manoeuvring his way up. Can't even see me behind him. Haha. I'm being completely covered by him.
We have reached the top and my helmet is slanted from all the bumpy riding. Decided to wear shades coz all the sand kept flying into my eyes. When I was driving my own ATV I got whipped by all the twigs and it was damn painful.
Climbing ard some rocks on a cliff-like thing to get a good view. It was super high up k.
This picture looks like we are just beside the sea but we are actually way above it. I really think that all the grass and colour of the rocks makes me feel like I'm in Jurassic Park. Haha.
Surrounded by grass as high as me. I din think abt it den but dun snakes reside in places with high grass? Haha. Shivers.
Shrub that was appropriately situated behind us. Haha.
We were prob talking to the guide at this point. But he speaks Malay so most of the I dunno what he's saying. Haha. But he's such a nice guy. The Jurassic Park place is like a bonus. He even wanted to bring us to the kampong. Haha. But it's real far away and muddy so we din go.
I can't get over how stupid I look with the helmet. Haha.
Lovely waters. I think there's some coral there so you can snorkel to see the fishes but we didn't go there.
I'm fascinated by this portable deck chair thing at the beach with I have never seen before. It's like a box den you prop it up and it becomes a chair. So smart!
Sunny morning at the beach and we are getting ready to head out to sea.
We are gonna snorkel in that water. NICE. Always liked snorkeling coz it's relaxing and the waters are cleaner coz it's far away from the beach.
On a small yellow boat. My life jacket looks very small compared to Feroz's. Haha.
Our nice secluded deck when we upgraded to the suite. More abt the suite laters. But you can see a small part of the pool from here. Totally forgot to take a picture of the really large pool there. It was so big and the best part is you can find a quiet spot and just soak there. Heaven!
Lying out at the deck with magazine and loads of tanning oil. I like the shine:) But I prob sat there for like less den half an hour and den decided to get back inside.
Photos of the suite! Upgraded to a suite on the second night:) The first night wasn't available. Blah. The upgrade is totally worth it. You get much better stuff too like fluffy robes. Lots of toiletries and towels.
My favourite. Super comfy satin slippers that came in his and hers! You dun get satin slippers in the normal deluxe rooms.
The beautiful wooden door that welcomed us. I'm very tanned here.
The gigantic living room! Didn't spend much time here but the space was nice. Haha.
The closet which had a dressing table in it as well. The door beside it leads you out of the suite but it can't open. It's like a fake door. Haha.
I love the four-poster bed! I wish I have a four-poster bed at home too. But I think you need a really high ceiling. And alot of space as well. Ain't it pretty?
Our own deck which came in useful when we didn't wan to walk all the way to the beach or pool to bask under the sun.
The really huge bathroom which looks out to the deck:)
Feature of the bathroom. Jacuzzi bath tub! It is so great to have that! After a whole day of activities you can soak your tired body in the green tea scented water which jets of water hitting your body. AWESOME!
Rolled down the blinds so that the neighbours dun peep at you. Haha.
Had dinner at the same Italian restaurant both nights. It was good plus it was at the resort and we were too lazy to go anywhere else to eat by the time it was dark. Haha.
Going out for dinner:)
I think this is a very good Indian boy photo. Haha.
Picking what to eat. Too hungry and lazy to take photos of our food when it came. But they serve such huge portions there. It's funny coz we didn't eat Indonesian food there at all. The most Indonesian we ever got was mee goreng at breakfast. Haha.
Time to leave. All packed and ready to check out. I'm gonna say this again. My VS travelling bag looks so awesome. Haha.
It was a great holiday and I can't wait to go on another one again! Becoming totally obsessed with finding another place to go.

How adorable are we? Haha.
Despite all the time that has passed. Everytime we meet up it's like old times when we were still lil kids in secondary school. Obnoxiously loud. Straightforward. No fronts.
These are the ppl I know and love:)

Hi all!
I haven't blogged in a loooonnngggg time coz I have been so busy with work and everything.
Now I have stopped working and am officially on break:)
Back from blissful holiday with Feroz and will blog with pictures soon of my eventful trip!
Now i have developed some sort of holiday addict thing I keep thinking of the next place to go! Haha. But it's fasting month for Feroz so no more travelling this month. Boooo.
On my last day of work I got a whole load of free products! Haha. Whee. My colleagues are so nice. They shared all the free stuff with me. I love working in aesthetics. I'm addicted to beauty. I enjoy working but I decided I will not work in the coming school term. I shld focus on my academics:) Make sure my parents money don't go to waste.
Enjoying my time off now! Happy Sunday everybody:)
