Riders Cafe

Finally I suggested to have a nice brunch with my lovely gal friends at riders cafe last saturday. It was such a cosy place and was crowded on weekend. Thankfully, I booked the table 2 days before. It took us quite a while to reach there passing by so many avenues. The waffle is a must - try! Yummy!

//Definitely will go back there for breakfast soon with anyone who wants to go with me!

Mini Batam Pin Hole Album

Took my LX3 along with me to the trip. Love the mode of pin-hole feel of the pictures. Hope you like the pictures just like i do. I will make it a point to do an album like this.

Batam Trip '09 - Day 3

0900 - Finally took a picture of our Cabana room surrounded by trees.

1000 - Went for our free bowling game. Ended up playing up to 3 games. We never try to bowl in the dark before. There was a power failure when we were in the midst of the game. The "power" resumed back reasonably fast. But it was still scary though. 

1200 - Went for a quick dip before we check out our room.

1410 - Took the ferry back to SG. Goodbye to Batam. Think I will not go back there again even it was still a good getaway afterall.

Batam '09 Day 2

0800 - Woke up early to have our breakfast. Get ready for our free 1.5 hr SPA(full body message + milk bath). Love their concept of the villas.

1500 - We were too hungry at this time and was pouring very heavily. We decided to call in their pizza. Surprisingly was not that expensive(SG15). Skinny Hawaian Pizza was yummy!

1600 - We were too bored. Walked around the resort and decided to call a cab out to the city(SG 15). We went to the Mega Mall and had coffee and tea . To then, Mega Mall is a more high class shopping mall.

1900 - We were feeling tired and hungry after our walk at the Mega Mall. We decided to pay the taxi driver for another 6 bucks to drive us to a nice seafood eating place. The food was great. (5 chi zhar dishes for only 10 bucks per person.)

I post this picture as we were locked outside our room. The access card was spoilt due to I placed near my hp for the whole day. The card lost its magnetism. Luckily, the hotel staff was friendly enough to help us resolve quickly.

Batam '09 Day 1

0750 - Took the ferry from Habourfront. The ferry was disappointing. Looked so old at the inside. Thank God that the ride was smooth.

0900 - Reached Batam and got onto a shuttle bus to our Harris resort. Checked in to our cabana room. 1100 - Took their free shuttle bus to Nagoya Hill. Had our lunch there. A&W and 933 seafood(recommended by Karen). The Kway Teow (Wet) was delicious. A&W does not taste as nice as before. Only for its root beer float

1430 - Went back to the hotel for a swim.

1730 - Getting ready for our candlelight dinner buffet.

2000 - Snooze Off Mode. More on the Day 2 coming soon.

Batam Trip '09

I'm just back from a short getaway. I already long for a holiday again.

Mid Week

Like what I always say, weekday dinner with a friend after work is a blessing. Especially with a best friend.
