Day 2 at Batam

Rise and Shine and it's my Birthday!!!

Went out for a walk while the rest are still zz'ing. Yeah... the bed's real comfy. The sea view there was not wow just as expected and water visibility as poor as over at Turi Beach. Still it's a nice place with fresh air that filled my lung with peace and joy. The short walk was really a nice break from the kids' hankering n crazily tight schedules i'd been living in recently.

Once the kids were up.. we went to the cafe for the complimentary breakfast buffet. Jem enjoyed turning the knobs and see his cereals tumbling out onto his bowl. So much so that he had 3bowls of it. Jay rather go for his beloved sausages and fruits. The coffee wasn't that bad but not as good as those in Malacca.



Went for another walk witht he kids this time before took the 11am shuttle service to Nagoya Town. This shopping mall is not as new as Megamall but it has a lot of fake goods. The fake goods looks real good tho unlike those available in Singapore. We wanted to have KFC but was lured by a Bak Kut Teh shop there. The soup had mixed offal in it and the owner, a guy with gold draping all over him, offered pig's blood. It's one delicacy that i used to love especially from the hawker stall back in Queenstown church but surprisingly i no longer have the guts to consume. We ordered a fish head curry and beansprout w salted fish to go along. Too bad Mark didn't really like Assam Pedas but the salted fish from Batam was a delight.

We went back with the hotel shuttle service and changed for water time at the hotel's beautiful swimming pool. My two water babies enjoyed themselve thoroughly and continued their splashing fun in the room's bathtub. I tried the green tea mani lulur during my shower n smell really nice. With the smooth skin and soothed soul from the scrub, we went to the cafe for the dinner bbq buffet and my birthday celebration.
