Weekend getaway in Bintan!

Went to Bintan for the first time (how less travelled am I! sigh) and boy, it was FUN FUN FUN! *jumps ecstatically* Spent around $250 for a 2 night-one day trip but it was worth it. This time I really felt really relaxed during the short trip. The sun,sand and sea was so amazing! Janette and I were blessed greatly during the trip!

  1. Free upgrade to a deluxe room for no apparent reason (so blessed!)
  2. Got a free drink at Asmara Spa (coz I asked them some questions regarding the Lemongrass-Honey drink....the oh-so-nice guy at the counter decided to make one for us,on the house!!!)

Tried jet skiing, well, I was the passenger *teethy smile*. Janette was the driver, so I just sat behind her and enjoy the sea breeze! Definitely going to try it myself next time. Had a good time maximising the presence of the sun aka TANNING! I did not get really dark on the parts I wanted (my arms,legs) but my back was really tanned. Thank goodness my mum did not see it, otherwise she will start to nag *rolls eyes*. Ooooooo..I wore my bikini for the first time! haha, you must be thinking,"Bikinis are so common nowadays, why get so excited?" Well, i bought the bikini since 2003, but but..did not have the courage to wear it lah. As you see, your dear friend here does not possess the 'bikini-babe' figure. Honestly, if I wear it in Singapore, am going to be a laughing stock esp if familiar people see. Come on, I am just being real. In Bintan, the environment is so conducive to wear a bikini. No one will stare at you coz it's a common sight.

Actually, in Bintan, the survival of the tourism industry there is heavily dependent on the weather. If it's raining cats and dogs, do not expect crowds to be there. Without the sun, what can you do? Stay in the room and watch TV? Play games and pool? Eat? Get what I mean. Anyway, I stayed at Nirwana Resort Hotel. Good service and ambience.

Had a head,shoulder and neck message at Asmara Spa. WONDERFUL! The ambience and service is excellent! The massage was really good and it was a heavenly experience. I did not feel like leaving the room after the massage was done..hehe

I promised myself to visit Bintan yearly.....hee
