Bintan was ultra fun ! Ya if can go again I WILL. the scenery and landscape at the resort is seriously breathtaking. Its like paradise for me, considering I'm in love with the sun and the sky. Anyway, met Jerome Omar Ryan and Deepak at the Tanah Merah Terminal on Saturday morning. the toilets had condom dispensers :p . Then there was this sign " I am responsible. Are you ? " After everyone came, we took the ferry to Bintan. here are some of the pictures during the ride. ( I was like the resident camera-man :) . and I like that )
Well after we reached there and check out we took a bus to the Loola Resort. After we reached ...
had a decent lunch and we went to check out our huts and the resort. the place itself is not v. high tech but it is fun itself. Liddat then can really appreciate nature i think. Here are some of the initial pictures.
We came back and went for tree-climbing and obstacle course. It was quite fun. Then we had archery. KT couldnt shoot the board everything fly over LOL. After that, we had some beach games amongst ourselves. a good captions ball game feels quite shuang , but with omar and Zero-Kia (Chin) on your team you must really run alot more.
That was done it was relaxing time. Hanged around the huts emo-ing while the sun set. It is seriously a damn nice feeling.
Around 9+, bright and beautiful stars were appearing in the night sky. It was really mesmerizing , like a dream. Its really something you won't find in the city. So we chose to sleep under the starry sky. Coupled with the cool sea breeze, it was quite a beautiful and comfortable night.
The next morning. Had some warm milo to wake us up before the water activities.
After breakfast, we went for flying fox! We crashed into the water and got all wet. So we wrestled and played in the water before proceeding to kayaking. I kayak-ed with Kuan! We were quite in front of others. Kayak-ed to a nearby island and back. After everyone was back it rained and we all played in the water. Jerome made me eat sand while wrestling ! It was quite a fun moment. Relaxed for awhile after that.
After lunch went for a hill-trek. I think this is one of the more meaningful parts of the trip. Although the trip uphill was quite tiring and dirty, the view of the sea atop the hill is strikingly beautiful. Got damn high up there. I wrote in my reflection " there is a beautiful sea view above every Bintan mountain."
From there we went for boom-netting! Jumping into a big net from the tp of a moving boat is fun! We all spent a few hours jumping and screaming out crap.
" Damn Hairy Omar Khalid!"
" K Praveena"
" I love Vania Long"
" Boys Home "
" Chio Bu"
"Zero-Kia" !!
We visited a nice island after that, That is my favourite part of the trip. It was sunset. The water was so clear and glistening. and we floated around looking for nice coralas to share. Its such a beautiful scene and we were living in it.
Had a bonfire and beach BBQ after that which was quite ok. Their food is heavenly I swear. Had a long chat with Omar and Jerome about Star wars until the middle of the night . Jerome seriously knows damn alot and we have the same thinking. I guess I have a new friend to share this stuff other than Omar and Xiu Ming. after that we all went to sleep.
The next morning woke up and had some nice breakfast again before going for rock-climbing. Left the resort at 1. I was quite reluctant to leave. We threw a stick with all our names into the water as a memo. Left for the ferry terminal on the way home
Said bye-bye to the resort guys and took the ferry home to Singapore. After we touched down, Mr Ng offered to treat us to Pizza Hut !!! ( WOW !! ) Took MRT to Tampines and had a nice dinner with Mr NG, omar , jerome , ryan , deepak , kuan ting and cheeboon . Taxi-ed home with jerome after.
THANK YOU MR NG FOR THE GREAT DINNER AND THE NICE TRIP YOU HELPED US ACHIEVE !!
Overall It was a really fun and memorable trip for all of us.
