We took the noon ferry from tanah merry ferry terminal. Of course, not forgetting to buy some booze before hoping onto the ferry!
We reached Batam around 12.45pm and took the arranged transport to our chalet at Nongsa Resort.
The transport that would bring us to our chalet!
Our chalet!
First Floor:
Living room
Kitchen
Bedroom with 2 single size beds
Common bathroom
Second Floor:
1 Bedroom with queen sized bed and attached bathroom
1 Bedroom with king size bed and attached bathroom with bathtub
After that we arranged for transport to bring out for seafood lunch, sightseeing, shopping and supermarketing.
I must say that the transport service is really quite bad. The driver made us wait for an hour, attributing it to bad traffic. WTH.
The driver FINALLY came to fetch us!!
And when we asked him if there were any place good for sightseeing, he was not able to give much suggestion, until we asked him about the Barelang Bridge, all thanks to my iphone I was able to surf for information just before we went onto the ferry. At the end of the day, he even charged us extra money because he brought us to the bridge. I mean, we do not mind paying but at least he should have informed us of the extra cost before hand right?
Seafood lunch was alright. Less than $20 each for the amount of food we ordered was really dirt cheap. We order steamed crab, chilli crab, steamed prawn, stir-fry tapioca leaves, chilli kangkong, steamed fish, mee goreng and grilled scallops.
After we had out fill, we went to the Balerang Bridge, which is apparantly the first bridge in Batam.
After that we went to Nagoya Hill Shopping Centre, the biggest shopping mall which housed their Matahari Department Store. Although it is the biggest shopping centre, there really wasn't much things to shop! :D But, the biggest buyer was Candy because the diapers were really cheap!!
Shopping and supermarketing.
Anyway it was close to 1030pm when we returned to the chalet. Some of the guys wanted to eat supper so we prepared maggie me, fried egg and canned sardines.
Alvin preparing supper.
Then it was chit chat and booze time. Drink we did, except Siew Ling and Alvin. And vomit we did, with the exception of Kat, Marcus and me. But I had a terrible hangover the next morning. Damn giddy la, could not take in any breakfast. Rested awhile, pooped and felt better. Haha...the others vomit to rid the alcohol while I pooped. Weird ya?! :P
Booze and chat time!
Checked out at 1pm the next day. Again, the driver was late!!!
Went to collect our tickets at the ferry terminal and then proceeded to Mega Mall for lunch, shopping and buy kuay lapis.
Bee hoon soto, sweet and sour vege soup and Nasi goreng. The sweet and sour soup and nasi goreng were nice but the soto was way too oily!
Gado-gado and MINI ayam pengnek. The gado-gado was nice! I like the ayam pengyek but some said the chicken was too dry. Of course still cannot be compared to Singapore's ayam pengyek though.
The LOOT for Candy! :)) Marcus was the extra.
Our tea before we head off to the ferry terminal.
Final group shot!
