batam trip from 30th Dec 08 till 1st Jan 09 (part 1)

ok! here are the updates as promised. earlier on last month, which is as a matter of fact, about a week ago, chui yee, wen yang and i went on a short getaway trip to batam. initially, we wanted to go with more pple.. but none of our friends can make it. so in the end, it's just us. nonetheless, we still had a lot of fun! :) we met up at buangkok station at 0700. thereafter, we took the train down to harbourfront station. we managed to collect our ferry tickets and had breakfast before boarding the ferry at 0850. it took us about an hour plus to reach our destination (cannot remember the name of the part of batam which we put up at) anyway, we thank god that thou we had to wait for the 2nd bus to arrive at the ferry terminal at batam; a shuttle service provided by the resort which we put up at, nonetheless, the journey from the ferry terminal to Harris Resort was only about 1-2 mins drive. as soon as we reached the resort, in order to beat the crowd that's streaming in slowly, we decided to join the queue as soon as we reached the resort. and by the grace of God, thou by right, we were supposed to only check in at about 1200, but, we didnt care, and continued to join in the queue. thank god that as soon as it was our turn, they already have a room available for us to check in and we even booked the return ferry tickets over the reception counter.

Thereafter, we went up to check our room. think if i'm not wrong, we booked the delux suite. hee.. yup yup.. so here goes.. these are some of the pics i took of our room. somehow, it never occur to me to take the bathroom.. but it's ok.. thou i must say that the bath room's super clean and up to standard! we dun even feel like we're in indonesia can? lol..
