bintan....

first time there... stayed at angsana resort and spa... and inevitably got drawn to the lovely sun and the number of sun-tanning chairs around the pool, and gotten myself tanned, yet again! :)

i simply cannot get over my sea-sickness... the trip there was, well, bad... the minute the ferry bobs up and down or sideways, my insides does the same. and the nauseuos feeling just comes back in waves. reached there at noon.. had lunch..i love my gado-gado! :) thai green chicken curry was great, so was the yakitori.. which came on a mini bbq pit... then we immediately went to the pool! haha... went over to the beach too, sat there, played with the sand ... looked at others... then went back for our jacuzzi! :) shiok lah.. the room we had, the family suite, is really cool! had a mini kitchen, nice sofa, 2 rooms... :) great balcony... and there's the personal jacuzzi! wah i never thought i'll get to enjoy all these. :)

then we headed down for dinner, which was by the beach, and... really dark. was a bbq buffet... but nothing much was bbq. so.. i don't really know why it's called BBQ. food was.. so-so.. but their banana fritters were good! so were their desserts.. haah.. maybe we just have this sweet tooth :) mussels in white wine cream sauce was good too... hmm.. let's see... what else. yea.. then went back to the room, and watched a bit of tv.. and the rest fell asleep before 10pm.. and i stayed up ... my mind was awake, but my body was asleep.. so it was pretty scary lyin on the bed. cos i wanted to move and i couldnt. i was so thankful to have my ipod with me..

woke up pretty early in the morning, parents went to walk along the beach, supposedly taking pictures of the sun-rise... haha.. :) me and sis lazed around in bed before waking up. breakfast was... ok lah. haha.. okok it wasn't the best breakfast i had i must say.. nothing can beat those in germany! then... it was close to 4 hours under the sun haha.. :) madness lah. i know we shouldn't stay out too much under the sun, but i just can't help it! it's too beautiful! hahah.. then sit under the sun till i felt burning hot, then went inside the freezing cold pool... swam a bit, came up and "sun-ned" a bit more.. and yea.. repetitive cycle. :) finished reading some book that i found at the limited collection of english books they had. ( they had more korean and jap ones,, and some other foreign languages).. went back to the room for some jacuzzi and then had lunch in the room :) ahah.. slacked a bit more, then, what for go to "angsana resort & spa" if we never go to the spa? :) haha.. so off we went, all 4 of us.. to the spa! what a lovely experience. haha. mum, sis and i had some angsana facial.. while my dad had a massage.. went to 2 separate rooms, me and my sis sharing one.. oh man. i love the place. the sea breeze, the tranquility... damn relaxing! it felt as if i didn't deserve to be there heh... too bad no photos of that place. oh man... and first time doing facial... ahah.. might be the last time too man! just one facial takes 60-90 mins!

by the time we all came out refreshed, i realised that all of us have turned slightly lobsterish red. :)

all in all... we had fun doing nothing but sun-tanning! hahah.. :) food was ok only... but nonetheless, great ambience. loads of "ang-mohs" around... some with really little kids.. i will want to go back for its facilities.. but given a choice to stay there a bit longer.. i doubt i will want to too... nothing much to do there.. it's linked to banyan tree... but nothing much leh. :)

lobsterish ahah. :) pretty happy about it. now is the time for it to peeel haha. :) but i don't like peeling. so.. yea :)
