there's the mommey!

the dad!

and the pretty siblings.
-hakeem&nurool(:

so we set off on the ferry on Saturday morning. it was all breezy and windy and rainy alil. and it was cold cold cold. thank god i brought my Puma jackies along! we cabbed down to Harbourfront at around 10am-ish and got into the ferry & everything at 11am.

the whole ferry ride was cool. it was raining though so i didnt get to go to the back of the ferry to enjoy the breeze and scenery. but it was alright, i plugged to my MP3 and grooved to my favourite tracks.

as i shut my eyes - to keep myself from getting sea sickness - i had thoughts. well, deep thoughts that i've always had. it was getting sadder that i could feel my eyes almost wet but i managed to erase them thoughts in time, and thankfully brother wanted to puke. (because with that i have something to do)

poor little botakhead, he was feeling really sea-sicked. & he had to puke into the dustbin. we havent had breakfast though, so his puke was all plain and colourless. probably just water he had. but anyways, hes fine now. ahaha..

oh, we had a "chauffer" to drive us around Batam there! so when we reached, the car took us around. and first stop, LUNCH. dad & mommey were freaking hungry i could tell by the look on their faces everytime we passed by a food restaurant.

but anyhoos, lunch done, we headed to the hotel. we seriously had no idea which hotel was good and which wasnt so.. oh by the way, the chauffer's name was Hendry/Hendri i dont know which spelling but yeah.. so Hendry took us to Merlion Hotel. & i must say, the hotel looked scary.

from outside, it looked like a place for some.. i dont know. but we checked in anyways because "it has a swimming pool" - Hendry. so when we went in, the hotel was fully booked. i was like, "what?! so you mean we have to go hotel hunting?".. because i was really tired and all. i needed REST.

but thank god, one room was cancelled and VOILA, we got it. at first i didnt really care what kind of hotel it is, but when i found out there wasnt any lift, i started to get suspicious. wahahaha.

& you wont want me to start climbing the stairs.. and then on your body to slap your face. (:

skali, the room only 2nd floor la. hahaha, so it wasnt that bad. we got in and, tada..

the room.

cool? cool. it was not bad for a, what, 2 or 3 star hotel like this? haha, im not being bad but it's really not bad. at least the bed was comfy.. ..despite knowing someone else might have "made babies" there. okay, erase bad thoughts.. ewwk.

so then we watched the telly alil and i fell asleep..

when i woke up, we were already setting off to go round Batam! wheeee. i dont know why i was excited but i was. so much so that i changed out of my top and skirt into my babydoll & leggins. ahaha, arousal method like that laa. lol.

we went around Batam, hit them malls. but i think it was more like we went Nagoya Hill to check out the place. or was it Mega Mall? okay no, it's Nagoya Hill. so we walked around and went into Matahari (which means "Sun" in malay) . it's a departmental store we have it here in Singapore, like Isetan or OG, or Metro kinda place. so yeahs..

we browsed around and i tried on tops. saw two of them pretty tops. a grey one and..

this one

but i couldnt decide on which to buy & that light brown one was funny looking after a while, so i decided on the grey one. sorrey no peechure.

then we walked around somemore and guess what i saw?

Summer by Kenzo

YES. YES YES!! this is the fragrance that ive been looking for like for AGES. reason why i didnt buy waaaay back then was because i DIDNT have the money plus i didnt think i'd like it anyways, but i did. Kenzo kept coming up with something new but their "Summer" just had to leave.

so i was all HAPPY HAPPY when i saw this la. yay. imma happy boogey. but i had to bug mommey to get it la. heck, i got it still. like, FINALLY. so lalala~ (:

then we walk around and around aimlessly because the place was pretty HUGE. then suddenly i got a text. i was shocked la because i didnt expect anyone to be texting me when im like in Batam? but yeah, and guess who? haha, it was Hannan! & i got more shocked.

he left a "hey, are you in Batam Nagoya Hill?" and i was like, damnnn. he's here too? OMG, please dont tell me he saw me doing something stupid or anything. but nah, he said he thought he saw me on the ground floor earlier on. hoho.

so yeah, we texted and then met outside a shop at Level 2. awww, it's really nice to see him again after quite some time. and his cousins were there too. haha, i was SHY for once la. i didnt know what to say but luckily i didnt stumble upon my words :P

we didnt talk for long. ..more like we couldnt cause i had to go. i mean, my parents wanted to go somewhere else so we exchanged goodbyes and separated. ahaha, i was still quite surprised that we could bump into each other in Batam, of all places.

but it's nice. it's good. (:

night fell & we went to have dinner at KFC. ..next to Hannan's hotel. HAHA! what a coincidence. but by then he was going swimming or so he said, and after dinner we went to a Karaoke lounge! my whole family including Hendry/Hendri sang. okay, except Hakeem la.

Hendry/Hendri (okay let's just stick to Hendry)'s not bad a singer, though. he's not shy. and that's good i guess. i mean, it'll be just a waste of money to be shy if youre going to a Karaoke lounge to sing. i mean, it's all paid for, so just hit the mic! hahaha, and he really did.

he sang two songs and gave up. haha, i think he was abit shy la. but he sang two songs at the beginning and two songs at the end. so it was all wrapped up pretty nicely. & the singing thing was really good for me because i could get to de-stress! really really funn.

after that we headed on back to the hotel and ended the day.

oh, Hakeem was hungry again so we ordered room service. haha, it's cool because the food was quite good i must say. yumm, and i was too full also la. but i just "gave it a shot" like powershot. not bad but really spicy! my lips, eyes, nose, ears were burning la because i thought the cili padi wasnt that hot but it was swelling up my FACE! ahhaha. so i quit.

it was a new day, the next day and we all had breakfast at the hotel. i was craving for cereals. so i went down happily to find that there isnt no cereals. just really really heavy breakfast like fried rice, noodles, laksa. and bread toast. so i just had a bit of alot of food ahaha and yeah, swore not to have the same breakfast on the second morning. (:

Hendry came with the car and we set of for Mega Mall. okay, it really intrigues me how the malls are pretty huge and what not there. i wish Singapore has the same big, huge malls too man. but anyways, there wasnt anything much there, though. but the familie had a heirkut! hahha, yes, a haircut.

at first it was just dad. but then mommey and i were itching for a hair trim too because my hair ends are splitting. so we did. we had hair wash, hair cut and hair blow. COOOL.

it's been so long since i washed, cut & blow my hair in a salon. and it was fun. i realised my weakest tickle point is my.. head? my goodness, my goose pimples just suddenly came out when the man was washing my hair and you know, shampooing and all. i was aroused for that 5 minutes.

HAHA. just kidding (:

so then it was all done and i look like this.

ta-da!

i dont if there's much difference though but my previous hair was inches LONGER.

there.

but i guess it's fine. I REALLY LOVE the way the man curled my hair with the brush though! (: pretty! ..but it didnt last, so.. pfft.

haha.

after all that jazz, we went to eat Ayam Penyet. its really nice there, i heard but it wasnt that nice at the place that i went to try it. and my chicken was damn small. dad said it was a bird and i freaked out like totally la. i was like =O straightaway.

man, he's mean but no, it's not a bird. hahaha, i'd have puke-n all of that BIRD out la if it really was a bird. EWWK.

so with our full stomach, we went back to Nagoya Hill to just look around again. oh, and mommey wanted to get the smaller luggage bag because we had pretty much things to bring back now. so we got the luggage and guess what? we stepped into Matahari again.

and i saw pretty pretty polo tops! omgomgomg and i wanted it so badly. and, heheh i got it la after much persuasion of course (:

Polo polo-tee & Polo top(:

with those two tops in my hand we walked around and around and mommey got herself a top also. but we went back to the fragrance counter which we were hogging on the night before and tried more perfume. ahaha, then i thought we're done but mommey was finally convinced that it was really nice. what is?

this. FCUK - for Her fragrance. (:

hahaha, i guess girls really cannot stand not buying something they know they want. :P but these are bad bad shopping habbits. but it's really relieving i guess. hoho.

then we got hakeem a pair of sandals and finally we were really done. paid for the things and headed back to the hotel.

ahh, nice comfy bed and cool tv shows. it's xmas eve so hurray to all the nice movies on Ch 5. thank god there's Ch 5 there, or else i'd have died of indonesian shows. i cant really understand alot alot of it so i get sick of it very easily.

while watching tv, mom& dad went up to Level 4 to SING! hahaha, karaoke freaks i guess. :P and i watched tv til the tv watched me.

it was drizzling when we were heading to the ferry terminal. & the breeze was really cooling so it was a chilly trip home. i was so tired that i slept like a pig. hahaha, unlike Hannan who slept mouth-opened. LOL.

so we finally reached Singapore and all of us were feeling really tired but we cant go home without something so we sat at the Harbourfront coffee centre and had cup of tea. (:
then it was home sweet home.

sorry for the lengthy post!
`Bee.
