Relax, Recharge 'n' Rejuvenate 2

Part Two

It's time to hit the lanes!

Before this, Blamer was telling us abt her previous bowling experience and showing off her bowling socks, she issued a challenge for us to meet her at the bowling lanes.

That's Blamer with her lucky bowling ball.

I picked mine too.



Blamer's bowling attempt




Yen's (nicknamed 滚球王)bowling attempt




My bowling attempt




Lastly, Winston's attempt.


The scoreboard. No prizes for guessing who's the champion. Do note the score of the challenge issuer aka Cai on the scoreboard though. Wa ha ha ha.

All smiles from the champion, with his 'mock' trophy. Yen was quite disappointed that he couldn't retain his 滚球王 title.

After such a string of activities, it's finally time to hit the main highlight of our trip. SPA time!

The catalog showing all the different types of massage for us to choose from. Our package was initially for the hot stone massage, however, the person at the counter told us that there would be very little actual massage involved, as it would be just rolling the hot stones over our bodies, instead, she recommended that we go for the traditional massage or the aromatherapy oil massage.

So here we go choosing the oils for our aromatherapy massage.

Following the masseuse to the cute little huts for our massage.

Me and Blamer sharing the couples' room. Too bad for Winston and Yen but I'm sure they wouldn't want to share a couples' room anyway.

Just as we were proceeding with the body scrub before the actual massage, rain started falling. Nice cooling breeze coupled with the soothing sounds of raindrops falling on the thatched roof, puurrfect.

So it's off with the clothes! If it had been a few years earlier, I would have gladly show u my body, but 岁月不饶人, haiz... ....

The masseuses really did their job well. Look at Blamer's arms and neck, all red from the body scrub. Must have felt really clean.

After the aromatherapy oil massage, it's a dip in the jacuzzi with essential oils and more aromatherapy oils to chase away the blues. Relax, recharge and rejuvenate!

See Blamer is all refreshed and charged up after the session.

A farewell photo before leaving our hut.

Looks like Winston finished his session pretty early, while Yen is no where to be seen. Maybe he is receiving some "specials" hee hee hee.

While walking back to our room, Blamer came across this structure, had to take a pic here.

Time for dinner. We took this photo not for cam-whore though. As we were going to travel out of the resort, this photo was so tat in case there's any mishap, any kind soul to chance upon this camera would be able to come to our rescue. However, the photographer forgot to include the all important License Plate of the cab. faint* : (

Yeah destination reached! According to the locals, this is the most famous seafood place on Batam island, and if I remembered correctly, the first time Blamer and I set foot on Batam, we came here for seafood as well.

Look at all the live seafood. Yummy yum!

However, u got to scoop ur own seafood before the waitress can show us to our seats, Blamer here was pretending to scoop only.

While I'm the one tat's really scooping loh... ...

Our catch! Dun be mistaken by the empty green basket, it is actually there to prevent the live prawns from jumping out from the blue basket underneath it.

Some appetisers. I realised Batam people like to use crackers as appetisers.

A refreshing coconut before our meal. Hopefully these were not from the archery grounds. Ha ha.

Finally the food's here, chilli crab, sambal kangkong, garlic fried prawns and pepper crab.

Followed by BBQ prawns, chilli lala, fried calamari and Blamer's fav cereal prawns.

All these for a mere SGD75. Wow. This sums up Day 1.
