Batam Retreat 2009

Best hotel ever
you pay for a suite, you get the whole hotel!
only 3 other rooms were lit by 10pm.upon arrival
Sir, pls pay 1.12 million rupiah for the room

because the four millionaires only had about 2.5 million, so paying the full amount will cripple our fund>>

can we pay a deposit first?
yes sir
how much is the deposit?
1 million sir
-.-
or sir, you can deposit your passport with us
XIAO...
no, we will pay, is half of the total enough?
ok, 0.6 million
The frontline staff look at us in a weird manner as the millionaires take their money out from their wallet.

your room is at top level, 4th floor.
pass KEYS to millionaire#1.

millionaire#2 casually asked, 'where is the lift?'
no lift

lift - not working
fridge - spoilt
so we wanted to call for housekeeping, we need our liquor to be chilled.


phone - spoilt


aircon - adjust to 16, but maintain at 26

in the morning, we saw a cleaner walking around the edge of the pool, sweeping the surface of the water using a BROOM! fuck, who dare to swim!


frontline staff at the lobby greeting us early in the morning.
Acacia is not even near the beach! so millionaire#2 call up a friend to ask for Harris Resort's contact number.

backtrack to1st night, went winsor beer garden to have dinner! anyway, the moment we reach batam, the fella who picked us up at the ferry terminal asked if we want to go disco, estasy available at S$5. And the driver doesn't know how to speak english, so whenever we call for free hotel transport, the driver comes with a translator.

first night dinner was good
food was good and cheap!

just that they serve shrimps!!! cheater bug! so bloody small can!

angry !!
*you may wish to zoom into anei's face*
HILARIOUS!

titbits for the night.
beef flavoured chips was damn good! (we didnt notice it was beef when we bought it)
millionaire#1 munching on chips, 'hmmm, very nice, what flavour is this'
turn package and it screams BEEF FLAVOURED POTATO CHIPS
taboo!!! millionaire#1 took the forbidden beef!
and he got downgraded to 'ahnei', no more millionaire.
upon seeing the additional bed not being able to accommodate the fat nei, being the usual nice me, i let nei have a walkover, void the voting and offer the comfy bed to him, while i sleep on the extra bed.


early next morning, after qw managed to push get lazy nei to wait up, we went searching high and low for the legendary curly hair that hairy nei drops while asleep.
the one that will round up into a CIRCLE after dettachment.
went for buffet breakfastwile waiting for Harris people to come fetch us.
we cancelled our second night booking at the hunted hotel and book with Harris instead!
btw, 2nd day AM frontline staff is same as the PM frontline staff on the 1st night. I think she stays in Acacia.

the expressions say it all

restaurant without aircon, they use ceiling fans like this>>
dirtier of cuz!

we ordered 2x chrysanthemum tea and 2xgreen tea.
but the restaurant staff came back to us and say they only had 1 can of chrysanthemum tea left.

WHICH HOTEL ONLY HAD A CAN OF CHRYSANTHEMUM LEFT IN THE STORAGE?!!

3 minus 2 stars hotel

we are leaving for good!

Goodbye to batam and hello to Harris!

In bahasa, harris staff#1 asked driver, 'from where did you pick them up?'
driver, 'Acacia'

I think we are not the first case, picking up guest from Acacia to Harris could be a common practice.

WE LOVE HARRIS!


they give welcome drinks and chilled towels to clean your hands!
and the number of frontdesk staff is actually mroe than the number of guests!

we saw alot of singaporeans there! so happy! feel so safe!

i dont know why we came up with this pose


GO-KART!



parasailing!!!

2 flying millionaires!



beauties and the beast


contest! my last shot, i had the same points as millionaire#2, they dont allow me to win her, so they keep disturbing me! in the end i got the same score as her lo! they are as erxin as nei's curly hair!

this is what we call breakfast!

we played different games! and the loser with the least points will be the secretary and will have to make plans for our future trips.
qw endorsing the documents..


nei, the biggest loser!

finally bought something at the departmental store!!


happy batam retreat 2009
