Dear blog

I've just returned from my 3days trip in Batam!!! *everybody goes weeeee*

Purpose of the family outing there was to celebrate CNY with my uncle's (mother's brother) family of ern ern 8 and to bond with them better as well. So let me continue...

... We woke up at like 630am on Sunday and drag our feets to Harbourfront to wait for the 830am ferry to Batam. The boat ride was a blink of an eye, cause i just went in, cosy myself on a chair and closed my eyes till reached. Hee hee. As soon as we've checked our passports out, our uncle we address as Batam ah gu (mother's older brother in hokkien) came to fetch us to iHotel!!!
Yesh, the name sounds fanciful and it's really called iHotel. And no, it's not really high tech to our standards. Ha ha. Lets see, the "high tech "stuffs are like a tab in door, security measures tab in lift and a fridge in our rooms (yes it's considered high tech). Soon after, we met up with our cousins, all 5 of them. They are Awi, Ahua, Aki, Haidi, and Achai. All those with an "A" are males and pronounce as an "ah".

1st activity was indoor swimming @ iHotel. All except Grace (my sis) didn't suffer the chilling breeze along with the icy waters. It was fun fellowshiping with Awi and Johan in a toss-coin-and-find-it game. Oh there was a mini bubble pool beside with warm water and surges of bubbles kept shooting out. Ha ha. That was more appealing for me i guess XD

And our reunion dinner? It was totally AWESOME! Okay, for me at least =P Adults went to buy take-aways and children were at both hotel room playing. Dinner time came when they came back and we started eating on top of newspaper on the floor! It's like 14 of us all sitting around each other having the food in the middle and rice in front of us. Very cosy and fuzzy feeling you'll have. The food we had consist of sting ray, satay, garlic fried chicken, sambal fish soup... The best part is, we all ate with our hands!!! That to me was an unforgetable experience =)
Yeah and this lasted for 2 nights when we were there. Eating with hands is kinda tough okay, not as easy as it looks. Ha ha. Maybe i'll need to train more for next year?

Night activities...

... yeah we had fireworks! It's like OMG. How i wished i could bring all my friends there to play and "battle" with each other. Since this is illegal in Singapore, my family really had a great time setting off explosives and shooting fireworks. AWESOME DUDES! Some of the explosive includes the butterfly (cause it'll fly upwards), mini bomb bag (just throw and boom), mini fireworks (light up throw and watch fireworks on the ground sizzle), flash bomb (self-explanatory) and bumble bee (similar to the butterfly).

Yup, these were the more impressionable activities. In-between we had sleep, shopping, resting, arcade, dozing off, eating, napping and as well as lazying. Ha ha, not really interesting eh?

When i reached back at SG harbourfront, i switched on my phone. Ya, i left it off over those days. It was around 355pm, and i received an sms asking me whether am i back in a very child-like and innocent manner. I kinda felt warm and individualistic inside, i'm remembered? And the timing was divine. Thanks, really really appreciate that sms BF!
