A bird was chirping as early as 5 am therefore we managed to get at least 4 hours of sleep that day ONLY! That irritating bird stopped chirping around 6-7 am, by the time I'm so wide awake already. Started preparing after receiving morning call from bff and her bf.
Definitely Two / Three Bedroom Chalet are way bigger (different room layout and lighting) than our room but still, our room is way better and so much better - At least you wouldn't have that feeling of living at Downtown East Chalet when you're actually in Batam right?
Back to our room to chill and pack our bag before we set off.
Ride to Batam ferry centre took 35 mins of our precious shopping time.
Shopped at a shopping mall nearby and settled down for local Malay cuisine.
Had such a bad experience for queuing for ferry next. Hundreds of people queuing and cutting queue at the same time and you wouldn't know if you're out of the exact 2 lines queue untill you reach a certain point with divider. If people consistent cutting queue in front, you will never reach the check out point even if you're an hour early to queue. Fortunately, when the ferry arrived, the security guards will at least informed and allowed the ferry passengers to have the priority to cut the queue.
Keratosis Pilaris (often called "horny plugs") started appearing on my forehead the next day, maybe due to a new and not so good environment and the whole entire rushing trip (get up and down the bus).
Some of you might not know what Keratosis Pilaris is, so am I (in the beginning). Look at your nose and cheeks area, some of you might have lots of spiky "dots" and you thought these are pimples or blackheads or whatever you call it. As for me, I feel as though I have permanent goosebumps. It is definitely not serious or harmful to skin but just appearance may be annoying (to me).

It was a pleasant surprised in term of a different view of Batam. Totally brought the enjoyment to a whole new level (positive one). If you have such perfect plan like mine (most importantly, the resort/hotel have such good services), totally you'll enjoy the trip there! I don't even have a single mosquito bites, or itchy-ness, furthermore it was on a rainy season. Perfect place for a getaway - provided you must did some researching before going there because it wasn't safe if you have no idea where to go, what to do, etc etc.
P/S: There're actually more activities that were being lined up but due to rainy season (really raining there), we couldn't get to experience those activities such as performances, more shopping, etc.
Would like to share again; Despite having a busy schedule this year(Internship + FYP (final year project)) and Y is working hard in his work, as well as studying at the same time in order to have a great move in his career path, but both of us managed to squeeze a short getaway(somewhere nearer to Sg) in between, SO...
we are going to Batam again this coming March with more people this time round because Y's friends joining us too! Can't wait for another short getaway! This time round, will be Hotel and not Resort! Hahaha! This will be the last trip for a getaway there till years later I guess? Stay tune!
