This is the last episode of my escapade
I must say I have had a wonderful time with my loved ones
Bintan is a nice getaway for sure
My experience there was a pleasant one
and I will definitely go back again
if I have the chance...

Our Escapades - Part 5 (Day 2 cont'd)

Day 2 (Continued...)

Having checked with the hotel, we found out an alternative place for spa

cos we think that the spa @ angsana resort was way too expensive

This is a place near Pasar Oleh Oleh

where you will find Martha Tilaar Spa...

We were greeted by polite staff at the door

We chose the milk spa treatment and

was ushered up to the second floor to wait for our room to be ready

Here's Dearie and Nicole

Dearie and I

The fountain outside the spa rooms makes it look more inviting.
 Thumbs up for ambience!

Dearie and I each had our individual spa room
as they were fully booked that evening...

The happy customers

This hawker centre was just opposite the Martha Tilaar Spa
and we just had to have their local food...
the adventurous us decided to try out their local delicacies

Here's Dearie with the chef of this stall

We bought mee goreng back to the hotel for supper
and was surprised to find that it tasted very good.
Tho' this chef looks pretty young, he is sure a good cook!

This was what I had for dinner at the hawker centre
Nasi Padang
Verdict: Nice
Sambal chilli was fantastic!

We ordered their rendition of the roti prata
but our lil girl didn't like it becos of the veg he added into the egg
Nevertheless, we liked it

Here's a close-up of the roti prata with fillings.

After lunch, we proceeded to the help desk to ask what other activities they offer at Bintan.
They suggested going to Pasar Oleh Oleh and
there were stipulated timings for the bus to come round to pick us up to the place.

Things I Love Doing...

I love kite flying.  I find it very therapeutic when I see kites flying high in the sky.  These pictures were taken at West Coast Park.

Not sure if you could see my kite...it is the topmost of this picture.

Mum wanted to give it a try, so I passed it to her.

She said, "I didn't know flying a kite is so fun."

Knock Knock...am I still around?

Ha! I am back for more updates...my apologies to my readers who kept coming back to a very quiet blog. I have been busy with school work and exam duties and of course, my very own exam. Now, I am back to post all the pictures I have taken the last few months...bit by bit ok?


Escape Theme Park

Nicole was trying out the 'F1' car but she is afraid of losing control of the car...

trying out the smaller jeep...

we queued for half an hour for the go-kart.

It was worth waiting cos it's fun!


While waiting in-line for the ride at Go-kart

Finally...nicole was next to me...

but she was strapped to her seat so can't exactly move to pose for the camera...

Flying Fox...we went it 3 times..both nic and I...brave girl isn't she?

Pasir Ris Animal Farm...nothing much....just a fishing pond for kids.

Fish Farm

Pet shop....saw this fat bulldog walking around

Where they train the dogs...so happened we saw one of these dogs fainted and remained unconscious after one of their exercise regime. It was later sent to the animal hospital.

Poor thing!
