Weekend Getaway 2

Despite what everyone said, leng n me went ahead with our bintan trip booked almost 2 months ago. It clashes with my nephew's 1-year old birthday celebration, n the tsunami just hit indonesia like a week+ ago. I woke up super early since we had to book the super-early ferry. Typical kiasu singaporeans. So after the rocky sea journey to bintan, we checked in at 10am n fell asleep almost instantly.

The next moment when we woke up, the bright n sunny weather has transformed into a thunderstorm! Damn!! It was time for lunch anyway so we went to eat. The food was lousy yet expensive. While waiting for the rain to stop, we decided to walk around the resort, wherever was sheltered. N the rain still didn't stop. So we went back to the room n i continued my scramble while leng watched 爱. I dunno which was worse. Anyway, it was not until 4pm when the rain slowed to a drizzle. Not wanting to wait anymore, we decided we're just going to swim at the pool since we'll be wet anyway. After the mild swimming exercise, it was time for dinner. I decided dinner can't be a screw-up again, so we made reservation at their most posh restaurant. Things just refuse to go smoothly though. They only had tables available al-fresco style, but it was drizzling! Sighz.

The second day was bright n sunny. I happily went out to the beach n looked for jet ski. Guess what? They said the water was too choppy n all sea sports are cancelled. I'm like !@##$%@#^$#!@#$%#. So i grumpily went back to the pool. More swimming.

On hindsight, i should have just stayed in good ol' singapore. Seriously, the sea water was not any better than pasir ris. The one n only sea activity i looked forward to was jet ski, n it wasn't available. Before i know it, it was time for the ferry back to SG in the rough waters. Double sighz!
