Batam Day Trip with Fantastic FouR!!!

The alarm went off at 6am and off i went to get myself dressed prettily!! Hehe..

We are taking the earliest ferry to Batam Island, Indonesia for our long awaited Massage and Shopping!!

Despite the time, the terminal was packed with MeN, families and Friends like Us! The ferry was supposed to leave at 0801 hours but we waited for more than half an hour before it decided to leave around 0835.

"Error carried forward", our driver and massage centre was calling us to check if we were reaching. So pai seh to make them wait so long.. but they were compensated by $tips$ as well as additional services that were not mentioned in the appointment :)

CHEAP is the only word that I can use to describe... If i had the time, i would probably spend a day there - Massage, waxing, eye-lash perming, Hair treatment, Mani/pedicure, facial...etc.

After much consideration with timing and discussion with everyone, here's the menu for each of us:

Korina:

• 2 hour Massage - Sea Salt Scrub, Javanese Massage, Seaweed Scrub
• Half leg Waxing
• Eye-lash Perming

Wei Tat:

• 3 hour Massage - Scrub, Massage, Steam, Jaccuzi (Not sure of order or if there were other services rendered!!)

Ms T:

• 2 hour Massage - Sea Salt Scrub, Javanese Massage, Seaweed Scrub
• Hair Treatment

Ms P:

• 2 hour Massage - Sea Salt Scrub, Javanese Massage, Seaweed Scrub
• Half leg Waxing
• Eye-lash Perming
  

I paid only S$76 for the above services and Tat $57 for his massage. So you can guess roughly how much i paid for my waxing and perming!!!

Next was off to Mega Mall for Makan and Shopping! If we managed to get a hotel, we would have gone to Nagoya Hill and also enjoy our Seafood Feast... next time!!!

Anyway, here are the shots within the mall and also our Makan trail...

Note: We reached MegaMall around 1515hrs and we were to take the 2030hrs ferry back to Singapore

The first thing upon arrival was of course to fill our stomach. We had the recommended Malay Chicken Rice. The meal for 4 cost us Rp 99,000 which is $15.50 equivalent!!!

1700: We concluded that there was not much shopping to do and so off we were at Singapore's Long Lost A & W!!

Then we were off to their supermarket and it was CrazY... My favourite was TISSUE PaPer... haha!!

It cost only $0.20 for the small pack and less than a dollar for the bigger one...Yeah. Even Mentos was only $0.20 per tube.

Lastly was to Batam Centre to see if there was any shopping. Disappointingly, there was none and SO.... Food again!!

1930: We were at Pizza Hut!!

Set menu for four was Rp $60,000 which is SG$9.30. Mind you it's for four and not per pax..

It was a wonderful trip (it was eat all day trip) though we were dead beat having to wake up early and to plan well in order to maximise our shopping time!!

I look forward to the next one... Hope you too!!
