Batam Retreat!

Surprise..surprise..me and my 2 girlfriends, Fizah & Maria went on a day trip to Batam. It was to celebrate Maria's so belated birthday. Fizah's getting married soon & we have yet to go on a trip together! So, even though it's just to Batam & we only had 1 day, we decided to just make full use of it. Had so much fun..the company was great! Who says 3 is a crowd? Not always... :)

Maria is always entertaining us with her antics. The 3 of us updated one another of our lives in the ferry that took us to Batam Centre..

We planned to venture to the nearby area..but it was raining! So, we spent the WHOLE DAY at the shopping mall just opposite the ferry terminal. If you wanna go to this Mega Mall Batam, do bring a sweater. Aircon is like FREE in there..

They have these so-called animal rides that children can take round the shopping mall. One service staff will hold on to the side while a child ride the "animal". Gosh..the sheep makes the most irritating noise!!!

Wanted to go for massage, but couldn't find anything good at the shopping mall. Maria spotted this nail parlour coz it looks posh, yet interesting. It's called "Miss Lazy". Indeed..we felt lazy & so at home..

Fizah & me treat Maria to her ever first manicure & pedicure! She was so excited. The 3 of us had Dark Chocolate Paraffin Wax for our feet ...The smell of the chocolate is soooo yummy!!

The lady boss herself did the manicure for Maria. She's friendly and talked about the decor of her shop. She said it's "half Da Vinci & half Laura Ashley". She played sentimental love songs on the stereo & the 3 of us almost fell asleep..Shiok shiok..

Fizah reading a magazine while waiting for her feet to be rubbed off by dark chocolate wax...Lotsa LV bags in the shop too. Apparently, lady boss travels a lot & bring these branded bags back home to sell...

Couldn't decide on the colours..so in the end, all of us got the same SQ like colour on our toe nails..

We saw A & W and couldn't resist the curly fries!! Bought them for take-aways & went to this cosy cafe called ChocNutz to have a drink. (Couldn't stand the thought that chocolate were only rubbed on our feet earlier!) Their chocolate drinks are delicious!

We also took away the ice-cream waffle...

And Maria insisted on buying another ice-cream waffle cone..

I didn't had enough of the chocolate drink so..I bought this bottle tea while waiting for the ferry back to Singapore. The tea is thirst-quenching & the bottle looks cute! Wanted to buy 1 more for Superhero but I was told that there will be additional charges for the bottle. Forget it larr..

Hmmm..by the way, I have made another decision. Will make some calls later in the day. Let me cross my fingers..
