Last year Xmas Eve we spent 2D1N at Batam.!
Yeap! Double couple trip.
I am much a nature lover.
I could go sightseeing, i dont need to do shopping.
I love relaxation, away from the busy city.
Meet up with Ver at habourfront in the morning and had breakfast together.
After which, we checked in at the ferry terminal and wait for departure.
Departing!
In the boat.
Nice isnt it?
We reached Batam about 45mins later.
Quite fast! I tot 1 or 2 hours lor.
Like that we could go Batam every weekend in the morning then go back in the evening.
So after custom check, there's a van to bring us to KTM Resort.
By the way, i booked the package online @

That the web, if you are interested! :)
Beautiful views greet us when we reached the place.
We checked in to the resort and walked to our room.
The water is actually quite clear too.
This is my favourite pic!
My cam can take beautiful pic too! ;p
Enjoying the scenery at our room balcony.. :)
Our shared balcony.
Neighbours.
Went for our lunch first at the restaurant.
Favourite camwhore pic!
BF trying out Ver's camera.
After our lunch, we went for our 1hr massage!
We spilt into 2.
Ver and I together and the guys together.
Soaked in jacuzzi and then we had massage.
Almost fell asleep seriously~
The massage is too good! Shiok MAX!
Because they used oil for massaging and we felt uncomfortable, so we went to wash up first before we go out.
Hired a cab down we went down to Nagoya Hill Shopping Centre.
We came because firstly, we wanted to eat A&W as there's no more of this outlet in SG.
Secondly, we wanted to explore outside if not we would be in the resort and will be bored to death.
The outside of the mall.
Its actually not dark when we reached there.
Before we went outside, we seek advise from the receptionist of place to go and where will have A&W.
To our disappointed, they said that A&W has moved.
However, when we reached there, we were surprised to see the outlet still there!
In case you have forget the icon of A&W or for those you haven not seen before. Hehe..
I remember i ate once at Bedok outlet when i was very very young.
Cant remember how old i was.
My mum brought my sibilings and I there to eat.
It was near my grandma house. Haha..
We werent hungry so we went to explore around the place.
Actually, there's nothing much to explore or to buy.
Most the shop sell fake branded.
We didnt buy anything.
Then we had A&W for lunch!
They say that the chiken is a disappointment.
I guess the waffle is still the same.
We decided to go to the supermarket.
Saw FIREWORKS!!
Its legal there.
We were so happy and excited!
There are many types of fireworks.
And some are NOT CHEAP lor..
Continued to shop around for food for supper. Haha..
As that night, there is 100 Pound Beauty being broadcast so we decided to eat while watching.
By the way, it was shown on Channel 8 which means Batam can watch SG TV shows and even Malaysia TV shows.
Random shot i took. Haha..
Our buy!
There were still time before our cab driver come to fetch us back so we sat down at a cafe drinking and playing iPhone.
Luckily there's wireless there for us to surf net as well. Cool~
Someone got surprised from Somebody... LOL!
Heard and saw other people playing fireworks and we cant wait for our turn!
We saw our driver came early and we left the boring place earlier. Thank god!
SO back to our resort, we went to put our stuff and off we went to set fireworks.
Even before, there's already people setting them up.
Below are 5 videos of us setting the fireworks.!

Actually its quite dangerous playing.
We almost got hurt, especially Ver, because the other family were careless as their firework flew the wrong way.
After the fun, we went back to our room to wash up.
Ate and watch the movie that Xmas Eve.
On the 2nd day, we woke up early.
Check out and had breakfast.
The buffet breakfast is not really that fantastic.
After which, we waited for our tour bus.
Yes, we had city tour on the 2nd day.
They bought us a few places.
Go Kart, Temples, shopping mall, Polo Ralph Lauren shop and Makan at Golden Prawn 933.
In the coach bus..
If i am not wrong, the first stop is at Go-Kart.
I didnt tried.
It cost at SGD15 if i am not wrong. Is it expensive???
Anyway, i didnt join in the fun.
So i took photos.
Cant remember how many laps they went.
Briefing on precaution.
Hmm i guess they had fun..
Cant remember in between have we went to any other place or not.
Anyway next we went for our lunch at Golden Prawn 933..
We set in a table of 10.
Means we shared with another 6 people for that lunch.
Abit awkward but still manage to eat well.. haha..
So after our lunch, we went to a few place.
Polo Ralph Lauren shop.
Didnt buy anything there because i wasnt really into that brand.
I dont wear polo tee cos i dont look good in it.
They brought us to 2 temples.
But boyfriend and I didnt go down and we stayed in the bus.
It was raining outside as well.
Lastly, they brought us to Batam City Square Mall.
We should have gone there on the 1st day.
Its bigger than Nagoya Hill Shopping Mall.!
Bought Texas Chicken to try.
Actually there are so many fast food sell something like KFC.
For example, Texas chicken, ChicKing and Popeye.
Actually out of all, i like KFC and Popeye.
But KFC still the best lah...
After that, we left some time, we went to shop around.
And i saw small bottle of OPI!
So tempted to buy as each cost like ard SGD$1+!
However, i guess its fake so i didnt buy it.
Ard 6pm, the bus sent us to the ferry terminal.
Took the 7pm boat back to SG.
So yeap, thats how i spent my XMAS in Batam!
