2D1N Bintan Getaway - Day 1

The much awaited bintan trip is finalli here! Haha.. this is the reward i decided to give moiself after moi long mths (which seems endless) of working without break and leave. So off we go to bintan!

While on the ferry to bintan...









Shortly after 45mins, the ferry arrived at Bintan Resort Terminal! Getting lost at the bintan ferry terminal is totally impossible. After getting out of the arrival gate, we can see the hotel staff from various hotel welcoming their guests. We are taken to our hotel direct by the hotel shuttle bus.

Once we arrived at Nirwana Resort Hotel, we are welcomed by the local dancers. On top of tt, we are given a complimentary drink. Indeed, the feeling is so warmth and welcoming. What a great start to the bintan getaway!!!


Cheers...


Wow.... sweet sweet pineapple

The makan place


The super nice pool tt overlooks the beach!




The white sandy beach, the cloudy blue sky and the clear sea


I'm a bird


Snakes?


Of course, while on the beach, trying out the jumping shots is a must!
Wee...


Ninjia?


Seriously, i am the onli suspended in air!


This damn cute and useful.


While waiting for ivy to arrive at bintan (she took a later ferry), the 3 of us went for a swim first. Despite moi laps of swimming in the public pool, i realised i still have a water phobia. I just cant seem to swim properly without moi goggles. However, i insisted not to wear the goggles which king wanted to lend mi as i feel tt it is too ugly! Haha.. yeah i am vain! Nvm la, king and jiehua will save mi if something realli happens... Haha.. i hope so...


~Twist~


The pool experience is realli enjoyable. It feels good, relaxing in the water and watching the beach in front of mi. In addition, i gotten a nice tan! Yipee!!! After our swim, ivy jie jie arrived and off to lunch!


Jie Hua looks scary...






After a fillingly lunch, we went for the highly anticipated activity - All Terrain Vehicle (ATV). As the name suggest, we will be riding either a dual buggy vehicle or a motor ride across different terrains - the forest, sandy roads, the beach, muddy areas and even bumpy roadS!

Making sure we know how to handle the vehicle


The dual buggy


The motorsists




And off we go!!! We went through...

The sandy roads....


The beach...



Stuck...


Ivy started off as the driver. It was certainly not easy controllin the vehicle. The buggy has no power steering wheel so to change the direction of the vehicle requires bull strength. It doesnt help at all when the roads has so many slopes and bumps. Throughout the journey, i was literally screaming at the top of moi voice . I was afraid that the branches might just scarred moi already not veri nice face and i was totally freaked out when at a point, our vehicle was balancing on 3 wheels instead of 4!!! Ya... i had the 生死一线 expression on moi face.
Enjoy the way up!


Finalli, we made it to the halfway point.


Tired sia...


The veri veri bumpy road....


From midpoint onwards, i became the driver. Haha.. i tink ivy was more frightened den mi becos i dun have a good sense of the accelerator. Most of the time, i just press it hard and of course, the vehicle just surged forward! However, i still made it to the next resting point!

Enjoying our nice coconut drink


I biked the journey back to the starting point. Seriously, i feel tt the dual buggy is far more difficult to control but definitely more fun and excitin den the motor bike. A super 惊险的 one hour! AWESOME!!!



I tink we are just trying to burn ourselves out. After maybe less 45 mins of rest, we are chaffeured to GO KART!



The track was empty when we gotten there. So we had the track totally to ourselves and it was a race between the sexes - 2 gers and 2 guys.

Contestant 1 - 包face li ling

Contestant 2 - Act Cute Jie Hua


Contestant 3 - Calm ivy


Contestant 4 - Thought he had won king

Let's RACE!



The track was veri good to race as there were a couple of sharp turns! I can totally feel the centripetal force acting one me! Haha... yeah expect tt phrase from an engineering graduate. Accidents do happen. Ivy and king had a hard collision which leaves both with bruises and for a moment, i thought we are playing bumper cars.

The track

Fierce looking contestants except... king (so off!)


Good things just come one after another in this bintan trip. I tink as we had check in too late, we had a free upgrade from a deluxe room to a suite! The name of our suite room is called - Prabakara. The suite was huge with a living room, bed room, bathroom (attached with shower area, bathtub and poo poo area) and a balcony.



We were so tired from all the activities tt we just nap anywhere!


After getting a rest, though not adequate, we went for dinner.

The heart- shaped nuggets


Pizza and satay

More Pizza


We were treated to a cultural show with music and dance.


The performers came down and mingle with the audience. All of us received a frangipani each including the guys!

The performers and us!

Pretty gers!!! (okie i self proclaimed)

Erm?$%^*&(*


After dinner, all we want to do is to head back to the nice and comfy suite for a good night rest!
