I'm back from bintannnnnnn =) woohooo!!!
ok to be honest this is my first trip out of sg besides seafood in JB in like 1999 yes yes LAUGH if u want to laughhhhhh HMMMPH! and yes i packed like 1 weeks worth of clothes =x PTP:"if u carry one week of clothes for the next 3 day holiday i'm not helping u with ur luggage" *note PTP = Pearlyn the Tortoise Princess.* and yes it's that much clothes i was excited mahhhhh!!!
pearl's parents came and picked me at 8.30am and we went to tanah merah ferry terminal. i didnt even know tanah merah had a ferry terminal... =s then breakfast and pass immigration.
when i passed immigration the guy actually said oh ur first time leaving singapore. have fun! =s feel so damn sua ku... took the ferry. took pics =p felt seasick at the start but fell asleep anyway.
Us on the ferry.
Outside.
reached there was rainin and rooms not ready so pearl's parents booked a cab and we went sightseeing and seafood eating. not really much to see double the size of sg with 80% grass =s.
oh and u can actually tell the difference when bintan resorts end indonesia starts. sooooo much difference. the driver brought us to this kelong place far away from nirwana (where we stayed) food was gooodddd and fresh! (egg omelette, kang kong, gong gong and sweet and sour fish)
den after eating we went to the nearest town from the hotel which was a 45 min drive... hmmm nothing much to see... it's so poor over there feels like i've been transported to another time =s
A street in the town.
Us at a fruit stall.
went to pasar oleh oleh too some singapore tourism market bought some stuff like keropok, durian kueh, bubble gum and beer. beer is like 3 cans for S$5. -.-" so cheap but bintang beer is disgustingly terrible.
went back to the hotel checked in and then went for more seafood!!! (i should stop eating but muhahahahaha it's a holiday sorry jie =p) (brocoli and beef, calamari, seafood soup, chicken brinjal and prawns)
came back pearl's dad went to feed the koi and tortoises in the hotel pond. ppl feed the fish but I need to "protect" tortoises since the princess of the tortoises is my best fren. there's 4 tortoises there but we only found the 4th one on our last day...
namely, LAZY who sits there and not swims/crawls because he's too lazy he stretches out his head just to he can gobble the food. STUPID [pearl's fav] who wants to fit in with the fishes so he swims where ever they go resulting in the fact that he doesnt get to eat much. USELESS [my fav] who cannot swim properly and always sinks to the bottom while trying to eat and NUT (New Unidentified Tortoise) who we dunno much about. ok so so back to the room to watch tv and slp.
This is STUPID being pushed around.
LAZY soaking up the sun.
From left: USELESS, STUPID, NUT.
Pearl says if i feed them too much they'll explode... *BOOM*
The green iguana.
Me and my cousin =p
My baby cousins. hahahaha pearl's dad was joking with us saying that if u keep feeding house lizards they become baby ignunas then bigger igunas then crocodiles then godzillas!!! hahaha
next morning pearl's mom woke us at 7am to eat breakfast =s and yes we did wake up!!! had buffet breakfast ate alot again...(international buffet if i actually named it all the entry would be too long)
and after down to the beach to play with water, i managed to drag pearl to kayak, jet ski and snorkel woohooo!!!! kayaking was fun the water so nice and clear but man it was tiring my arms are still sore, after that we went jet skiing best experience of my life ever!!! (might be one of the worse for pearl thou hahahaha)
woohooooo i was driving at like 273 wadeva the rate was but man it was damn fast my hair was actually dry after 15 so u can guess and pearl was clinging on to me for dear life hahaha she nearly fell off a few times but hahaha i am a reckless driver lalalala pearl also drove but a lot more safely hahahahaha
after that we went snorkelling around the dying coral reef but we managed to see a lot of fish, some half dead corals, alot of seaweed and drink ALOT of seawater oooo and we saw a jellyfish or at least i think it was... hahahaha but man snorkelling is tiring and so unglam LOL!!!
after that we back to the hotel room on the way back we saw 2 iguanas basket DAMN big lar one was next to me and i didnt even know it was there bout a metre long then in the canal i thought it was like a black water snake or smth but turns out it had feet so it was a HUGE BLACK SWIMMING IGUANA thats like more than 1 metre wide LAR!!! scaryyyy but it swam away before i could snap a pic.
bathed went for lunch at the korean restaurant ate again sooooo much!! (5 plates of appetizers, 1 big wok of some chili pork thingy, 1 bowl of ox tail soup, 1 plate of some spicy pork thingy again) then pearl's parents left so we went to swim again for a while then off to kelong to watch the sunset, take emo pics and eat. yes eat again. sunset was lovely but since we were bz taking pics didnt really get to watch it hahaha ate... prawns, crab, calamari and crayfish yum yum. went back to the hotel fed LAZY STUPID USELESS NUT again then then we for soju which pearl got drunk hahahahaha =p funny but scary!
