I was in Bintan, Indonesia for the last weekend. Even though, I would say
it is a very short and tiring journey, it did relief a lot of stress and unhappiness
in my mind. It cleans out my heart and my brain. There is a saying that your
money is most worth spending when you spend it for a memory; not for luxury car
nor a thousand dollars bag.
Travelling needs time and money to be accurate. However, I am at my point
of time where I have lesser money and lesser time. :D I am happy that I can
still squeeze out some time and money to travel even though it is not very far
from Singapore.
Let me share some of my experience and memory for this 2 short days. On the
first day early morning, we (as a group of 10) went to the ferry terminal to
take the ferry from Singapore to Bintan. Once we reach Bintan, the mini-van
from the resort is already waiting there to take us to the resort. For info,
the resort that we are staying is Agro Resort and it is 1.5 hr ride from the
bintan ferry terminal which I would say is a very long car ride.
Once we reach there it is already around 9 am SG time and 10 am Indo time.
As the check-in time is only at 2pm we have some time before check-in so we
went to a restaurant to have our early lunch. This is some tummy-licious time
that we had. :D The seafood was yum and cheap. At least it is cheap when
compared to Singapore. For 10 pax, we paid around 100 SGD only for all the 1 kg
chili crab, vege, chicken, a lot of rice and some fruit juice.
Afterwards, we went back to the reception to check whether the rooms are
ready. It was at 1 pm and since the rooms are ready they allowed us to do early
check-in. The room were clean and tidy, very spacious and new, too. We stayed
in a family room where originally have 3 beds and they add in 1 more bed so
that 4 person can share. Some of us stayed in Couple room (which I think is at
a more romantic location; where the rooms were built on top of the Ocean water)
and add 1 more bed so that 3 person can share.
After check in we went to the beach and walk around and plan to do some spa but only some of us decided to do
because of the price. It is not that expensive but yet still some choose to
sleep as we had to wake up early morning. In the evening we head out to the
beach to play water in the swimming pool and a dinner afterwards and this time
we tried some Satay!!!!!! Which I think is really nice. A lot nicer than those
tini-tiny satays from Singapore. And bought some fireworks to play at the
beach. It was really fun doing whatever you cannot do in Singapore. xD
After a good night sleep we wake up early morning at 7am to catch the
buffet breakfast which is really nice with a wide variety of food. And it is
just next to the swimming pool. We were just eating until we can’t be stuff in
with more food :D hahaha and of course, enjoying a nice breeze from the sea and
the beautiful morning. Then we went back to our room to change and rest for a
while before we do some sea sports.
For a SGD 40 package, we were allowed to do 4 sports which were really fun
but very tiring and torturing at the same time. I had a full body ache in the
next morning. I would suggest to head to
the spa after the sports but since we had no time, we had to go back for a
quick shower pack and wait for the van to fetch us since we want to go to the
city and look around. It was nothing much really but instead of stoning at the
hotel reception we get to buy some cheap clothes and some bracelets as souvenirs.
After a few hours we head out to the ferry terminal and on our way we had
some very very cheap and tasty crispy and grilled chicken with spicy indo
sauce. After we eat 2 or 3 chickens and some fried kang kong, it only cost us
SGD 40 in total. And the chicken in Indonesia totally taste a lot better. That is
no joke. The chicken are with less fat
and taste sweeter with a nice smell no matter it is fried or grilled.
After that we continue our car ride back to terminal for another hour and
then ferry ride for almost one hour that when we all feel sad and emo since we
are back in to our robot zone where we work, eat and sleep like robots.
Bye for now. And thanks a lot if you finish reading everything. Hahahhahaha.
