Baby Bear and I went to Batam for our 11th month anniversary! This is the one of the biggest "surprises" I've ever gotten in our whole relationship together. =D ("surprises" is in inverted commas cuz he ALWAYS wants to spoil the surprise for me by telling me beforehand one!!) The sweetest thing is, he paid for everything and took damn good care for me, making sure I had enough food to eat, that I can buy all the things I wanna buy, that I'm safe and sound!
I felt like he was my mum! XD just kidding. =D
We went there for 2 days and one night. We had a great time cuz everything was quite relaxed and we just did what we wanted and could do. Though honestly speaking, there isn't much in Batam to do. But the company was priceless. We went to Nagoya Hill to look around at the shops (which I still honestly think Far East Plaza is a way better place to shop in.)
The food in Batam is DIRT CHEAP!! One meal for the both of us can cost only $10+!!!! And it's not like it's some cheapo roadside stall. It's proper restaurants at malls. Pizza Hut there is also only like $10 for the BOTH of us! The best thing is, THERE'S A&W THERE!!!!! Reliving the memories man!!!! Getting to eat the waffles I had as a kid. I still remember how last time my mum would bring us to the A&W at AMK on a good day when we visited our grandma. Those were the good days. =') But sad to say, there was no curly fries on sale. Sigh...
One thing that really interested me in Batam was the very different lifestyle of the residents (no shit). There were dirty looking roadside stalls everywhere selling daily fare. But it's just amazing that people who eat there on a daily basis probably don't get diarrhoea, but if we ate there, we confirm will get diarrhoea. Confirm chop chop. Maybe it's all in the mind. Cuz Baby Bear ate from roadside stalls in Thailand and he didn't get diarrhoea. But then again he's ALWAYS shitting non stop. So perhaps he got diarrhoea but he didn't realize it.
Okay I shall post photos up tomorrow. I'M TIRED!!!
