Batam Adventure - 7 to 9 Aug 2009
Happy Belated 44th National Day, Singapore!
Am late in my well wishes on blog not coz I was not in Singapore this National Day but simply that I was too busy to go online after I got back from Batam on Sunday. Havent really touched my computer the whole weekend coz I went to Batam with H and S, to leech on H and her family's hospitality.
We met up at Harbourfront after work last Friday to take the Wavemaster Ferry which departed at 8pm plus. Only 45 minutes ferry ride and we were picked up by H's brother, chauffered to their shophouse (where we stayed for 2 nights) and brought out for dinner.
Shiok ar! No brainer...I just followed and act like "sua-ku" a.k.a. mountain tortoise coz it was my first time in Indonesia. I am not really a fan for visiting neighbouring countries, will go when the opportunity arise but will not seek to go visit, my vietnam trip also lidat mah.
Anyway, things in Batam is cheaper than in Singapore and reminds me of Johor Bahru last time before it became so commercialized. A 2hrs KTV session for 3 pax in Batam cost abt 280,000 rupiah (est. S$41+) inclusive of a drink each. 2nd Night we also went KTV and only 2 of us ordered drinks and the bill only came up to abt 215,000 rupiah (est. S$31+). Cheap lor.
We did a 90 mins full body massage for only 90,000 rupiah (est. S$13+) per pax! Plus a bit of tips still cheap. The manicure and pedicure there was in the region of 100,000 rupiah (est. S$14+) and 80,000 rupiah (est. S$ 11+) respectively but we ran out of time and money, so cannot pamper our fingers and toes...awwwww.....wasted!
And though we have Breadtalk and J.Co donuts in Singapore, they are Halal certified in Batam and of course cheaper! I managed to get 6 donuts for only 31,000 rupiah (est. S$4.50+)...hmm, must remember tat I still owe S for the donuts.
I even managed to find A&W fast food restaurants in Batam! Gosh, I miss A&W!!! The root beer float, chicken and waffles...yummy....enjoyed the chicken and root beer for old time's sake...waffles would have to wait.
As the usual lousy blogger I am, I didnt bring my camera (coz I thought there is no sight to be taken) and so no picture to show here. S did take a few shots though...maybe I can get from her. "S!!!!! Can email me the pictures u took in Batam?"

Honorary Credit Card User
I was clearing my stuff a few days back, lots of old bills and receipts tat I have kept over the years for god knows why. Had abt 3 clear folders full of them and they date all the way back to year 2002! Can u imagine? - 7 years worth of receipts and bills!!!
Ok, tat sounds like mountains, I correct myself...they are only credit card bills and receipts.
I had a great time going through and remembering where I have been to, what I have bought, where I have eaten, etc during this past 7 years.
I got my first Subsidiary Credit Card (from my Sis-in-law) in 2002. I was going for my very first overseas trip by PLANE!...yah lah, age 23 then take plane for the first time in my life. PERTH, AUSTRALIA - QANTAS AIRWAY - WINDOW SEAT. It was a great experience watching the landscape getting smaller and smaller, then finally disappear under the clouds.
Realised tat certain important events in my life can be seen from the receipts and bills.
2002 - 1st trip to Perth, Australia
2002 - memorable dinner at Equinox, costing $150+ for 2 pax
2003 - enrolled in SIM 2 years part-time degree course
2005 - permed my hair for the first time (digital perm @ $300+)
2005 - 2nd trip to Perth, Australia
2007 - bought my PSP
2007 - joined True Yoga membership for 2 years
2008 - 1st trip to Brisbane, Australia
2008 - Firm's trip to Hanoi, Vietnam
2008 - Trip to Hongkong
2008 - Family trip to Genting, Malaysia
2009 - 2nd trip to Brisbane, Australia
But the most amazing fact I discovered is tat...abt 70% of the receipts are for F&B - food and beverages! I dun mean the total value of my spendings but just by the number of receipts. Scary. And also its eye-popping to see for a fact how much a person can spend in a mere 7 years, I dun even dare to total up the spendings.
Have u checked ur bills too??? Go on, its rather interesting.
