Timely Getaway - Batam


Booked ferry tickets online! - $48 to and fro 

All ready to board! :) 




Decided to stay in Harmoni Suites!!!
Relatively convenient and the staffs were very friendly! :) 

We reached batam about 9 plus and the staffs were kind enough to allow us to check in early! :) 


Our room came with 2 connecting rooms.
1 room is for the mini kitchen, living room, dining area and a toilet!

The other room is the sleeping area, consists of a king sized bed, we added an extra bed as well and a toilet! 
So, 2 TOILETS :) 

Settled down in the room and we headed out to Nagoya Hills Shopping Mall.
Just 5 mins walk away! :) 


We are here!!! :) 

Must have! :) 




Went for grocery shopping in nagoya hills :) 



All you see is Maggie. HAHAHA 




Crossed the road from the main entrance to ESKA Wellness Spa & Massage! 

I really like how this place has lockers! :) 
and the massage was sooooo good! 


We were entitled to a free ride as we spent more than $1,000,000 rupiah! (approx. 100SGD)  

So, we headed to Batam City Square. 



Batam City Square 




Beef ball noodles! :) the broth and beef balls were so delicious!!! :) 


HAHA! I accompanied the rest to watch Minion (even though I watched it the night before in Singapore) just because we had extra time till our nail appointment and the ticket was only 
$4 SGD!!!! 

Plus the movie theater is not those lokcok lokcok one leh. Quite comfortable and clean! 
So much so that I slept for half the movie! HAHAHA


Layers Cake! bought some kuaylapis back! :) 


Had my nails done!!! :) GUESS HOW MUCH!! HAHAA 

Classic Gellish Gradient Nails for only $17 SGD. 
I did the EXACT same thing in Singapore and it costed $45 SGD!!! 

We took a cab back to Harmoni Suites, unloaded our stuff and took a 5 mins walk to
Windsor Food Court for seafood!!! :) 



We ordered: 

Chili Crab 

Salted Egg Crab

Garlic Kang Kong - it was sooooo good!! 

Oyster omelette - Best i've ever tasted! 

Sweet and sour sotong - not a fan of it.. 
Plus we ordered Stingray, Mantou, Rice and Drinks 

And the best thing was that the bill only came up to approximately $50 SGD!!!! 
For so much, so fresh and so delicious food!!! 
Will DEFINITELY be back!! 
the food was so good! not even kidding! :) 

Had durian after that as well :) 


Back to the hotel and had a good night rest! :) 

Day 2 - Going home 

Hotel breakfast! :) 

Egg stations are the best! 



They had a Mee Soto Station as well :) 





It was raining outside, so we've decided to stay in the hotel till 1pm and we headed straight to 
Harbourbay ferry terminal after that :) 






Harmoni Suites' Swimming Pool and the gym was right beside :)







Till next time batam!! Will be back again for good seafood, good massage and cheap nails! :) 
I love trips like that!!! I really do.

Disneyland - A day filled with pixie dust


Disneyland



Disneyland's new area: Grizzly Gulch
We headed straight to Grizzly Gulch first as it is the newest area! 




Off to Disneyland!! :)

On the train to Disneyland! 

Price of a Disneyland ticket is about SGD 87 now. 

WE ARRIVED with me holding 2 bottles and a selfie stick. 


It was extremely warm that day. EXTREMELY 

Toy Story Playland


Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop 

Unforgiving weather 

Slinky Dog ZigZag Spin
Megan is afraid of rides, even this - we just went in circles... 

Our ever-awkward group shot. 
Maybe Hanlong and Maxim do not know each other then. 

RC Racer!!!! Best ride in Disneyland for me so far! :) 


Closing the gates to my castle. 

Thanks for visiting my castle, friends! 



I'll be happy to be Belle for a day. :) 

More of my castle... 


Yup, that's our castle. Which princess do you want to be, Mabs? 




Just too warm. 



Trust no one, Fear no one. 

The weather drove me nuts 

Left Disneyland early :( 

We were suppose to wait for the fireworks display at 8pm but the weather was SOOOOOO bad that we gave up at 5+pm. 

Everyone just wanted to get back to the hotel to wash up and rest before our steamboat dinner that night. 

To be honest, Disneyland doesn't feel the same when its so warm and humid. 
But I know that I'll just keep going back no matter what because it's Disneyland!! HAHAHA.
