Yesh Bintan trip again..its ok for me cos this time thanks to Susan who gt lobang can stay in the 5 star luxurious Banyan Tree Resort le totali FOC..though its only for 1 nite. Hw i wish can stay thea for at least 1 wk.

Went over on Fri after work to stay @ her hse.. we set off in the morn havin bfast near Susan's parents hse.
Yeah..when i reached TFM, it seemed like DEJA VU again. Nevertheless, its the same ferry oso!

After noein her for 15+ yrs too..1st time going short trip with her and family. All my long wishes going travellin with my besties had been granted. If i was still attached nw..duno hav to wait hw long liao!

1 hr later reached Bintan Ferry terminal, tpt had been arranged to send us to the resort. Viola..when i reached, i was like whoa man! No wonder 5 star. The surroundings reali had a kind of serenity view and atmospehere. Their welcome drinks were ginger tea.. we seriously dint noe hw to appreciate. Same thing or i tink applied to all Bintan resorts, a buggy came to pick us up. See pics and u would noe hw breath taking the resort was.

Its reali so relaxing... we xplored their couple frens rm as ours still nt ready. Nice sea view ...authentic scenery..me , Uncle Vin (ha Susan's hb oso called Vincent) and his fren PQ of cos kept taking fotographs la.. Their bed reali facing the sea..so romantic lor.. and they had a jacuzzi open area de.. =) I bunking wif their maid..she so xingfu rite oso can come along.

As u will see in the pics..the layout of our resorts oredi told me it all man =p

After 20 mins..one of the staffs gestured us to OUR resort. To our astonishment.. ours so much bigger and even more luxurious den the latter rm lo. We oso had open area jacuzzi..both me and Susan's rm were separated in betw by a big swimming pool..with beach benches le......arghhhhhhh..OMG OMG! Our sea view even better! There was a pantry, a large hall u can sit dwn to relax TOTALI and jus chat thruout the nite. Either come as a couple..cfm wont regret..wad no mood for love will prove u wrong.. as for big grps of frens oso will get to njoy! 1 nite stay ard $1500 per nite. Muacks Susan for this trip! It reali helped me to unwind cos too many things happened liao!

Susan had 2 daes complimentary spa and massage lobang..of cos dun wanna miss it la. We felt like princess thruout the massage session. Good massues and imagine we facing the sea...relaxxxxxxx dao.........felt so heavenly!! After dat still gt fruits served. 1 word after massage - SHIOK! ^__________^ The guys oso had theirs.

We decided to go Pasar Oleh for simple dinner.. zhu chao lor.. the menu offered to us per person ard $15 or so..so its still affordable. Food was nt bad..if ur taste buds nt dat kind of fussy type. They hav ppl singing for us as entertainment..wad a romantic evening rite! =) Ya walked ard though i had been thea 1 wk ago..

Oops..while walking and waitin for tpt to fetch us bac..me & PQ walked ahead of others.. den we happened to jus hav casual talk as in: eh this place nt bad etc..suddenly he held my hand and said the van here liao. I was a bit shocked , but lucky reacted fast.. i said eh my hand..he den realised..he said sorry to me and i dint take it to heart. @ this time..the rest were catchin up with us and PQ's wife happened to be behind us.. I openly joked and said sorry to his wife her hb accidentally held my hands..lucky she nt those jealous kind if nt i dieeee! *awkward smile*

Den we went bac to our resorts to rest. Nikki wanna play water so all of us except the couples went to "pao shui" =p Changed into my bikini..and the maid Yani so cute lo..do not dare to expose herself to swimming costume so she wore a shorts..duh! hahahha. Den we jus relaxed in the jacuzzi..i wanna hit the pool but the water was damn cold so we aborted the idea! I managed to see a few stars in the sky while lyin dwn to jus relax and played wif Nikki. Mayb i dun see her often..she still nt very used to me lo.

U cannot imagine the bath rm was so spacious..we had 2 individual basins and a long mirror. Outside my rm thea was a mini shower place open air de.. the whole resort was so freakin spacious and quiet. Only the bathin area was abit crammed. Of cos @ nite kinda scary when i walked frm Susan's rm to my rm to take somethin alone!

Me and Yani waited for Nikki to zz den we went bac to our rms. We were given sarongs to wear to zzz..of cos i tried on dat hee..but i nt totally naked la..hav my shorts on..hurhur!

Nxt morn..took buggie to hav our bfast.. so many varieties, jus cornflakes...they had all kinds lor..sushi, fruits, cakes..but hor..enugh said abt all dis..the food was nt up to our standard le..tasted so-so only. Nikki wanna go to the beach ..i was excited too..can see a diff part of Bintan sea view!

The beach was was was........so so so...................BEAUTIFUL..sucha baby existed in BINTAN!
The guys wanna conquer the top so they dared each other to climb up the top and take pics. Lucky the weather was gd! I jokingly told Susan my future hb mus propose me here or i wanna hav my weddin outdoor shoot here! Hmm duno gt dat dae ma.. haiz!

Me and Susan continued our part2 massage. PQ's wife nt able to join us as she was few mths preggy le.
The rest went bac to rest and to pack up ready to go bac SG in the noon.
Dis time round, nvr face the sea , jus a norm view lo but gd enugh liao! =) B4 checking out..Me and Susan had a quick relax moment in the pool..no more chance liao..while Uncle Vin helping us to take pics..Nikki wanan use her water gun to shoot @ us and acidentally slipped and tumbled into the pool. Lucky Uncle Vin v fast to react..carried her up. *close shave* and the maid was away bathin..haiz abt this maid long story..only can say she is lucky de. After dat ready to set off bac lo..reached the ferry terminal..hao she bu de leave bintan le..hahaha..ya we oso went to Factory outlet. I bot another Tee again. Can see many ppl going bac too..more crowded when i went earlier wk. Yani had some prob @ the immigration counter.. we were all so tied up with our luggages. Susan was carring Nikki and Uncle Vin carrying all the things. I volunteered to go out with Yani to see wad happened. She had filled up the wrong "white card" but den after dat..i wanna vomit blood ..cos she duno hw to fill up she dint bother to ask, jus stood thea and kept quiet. More and more ppl coming den she oso panicked askin me wad to do. After some hassling...she managed to fill up all and went bac to the immigration. I had to show my passport in order to cut queue for Yani to chop her passport. Den got some probs again..dis time Uncle Vin and Susan went to check with the officer. They , as employers of Yani shld prep some docu..den miscom here n thea..the officer relented and told them this time jus let them pass. Den the ferry came..the couple helped to lug all their luggage and chopped seats for us. Thanks guys! a small hoo-haa bac thea haiz.

Upon reaching SG, they went to check with the officers wad exactly went wrong..its jus dat indon and SG system nt same..as Yani was an Indon , her clearance shld be much easier ma.. haiz.. Nw u noe le..our svc still better @ least ours bothered to xplain wads wrong..theirs jus said wrong , cannot lidat =(

Went bac hm with them..then we drove to Bishan to hav dinner...and they sent me hm after dat. 1 dae trip so fun.. hope more to come. I njoyed myself too !!
