You are my Lord, you're the shepherd of my life, you are the lover of my soul: batam trip from 30th Dec 08 till 1st Jan 09 (part 5)(day 2)

my god.. this is a really long entry.. anyway.. i have got no choice but to continue.. so yup.. this entry is a whole entry of our trip out and back to Nygoya shopping mall.. this time, we set off in the afternoon after our morning breakfast and swim :) no pics taken at the pool again.. hee.. but breakfast was a fine spread! esp when there's my FAVOURITE SUNNY SIDE UP!!!! *SLURP!!!* anyway, we paid the resort S$15 bucks for the 1/2 hr taxi ride to Nygoya. when we reached, we went to play some games at the arcade and won ourselves some pencils and sweets.. hee.. and we had A&W for lunch, and had a yummylicious burger (shared among 3 of us) for snack? lol.. while we were shopping for clothes (which is not much of choice either.. cuz their fashion sense's not very *ahem* up to date either.. so ya.. anyway, we entered a small shop only to be greeted by the shop owner semi-shouting at one of their customer (a young girl all dressed up "ah-lian" type) of shop-lifting. cuz they were communicating in their own language, so i have no idea what they were talking abt at all.. but! from their body laguage, it was so obvious tt they were accusing her of shop theft. thereafter, we went to a massage palour just across the road and all of us got a full body massage for S$10 or less! but! it sure was a painful experience! super painful when i was doing the foot reflexology.. thou painful, but after the whole massage, i was feeling really relaxed and much much less tenser. thereafter, we were rushing to the supermarket again in search for alcohol. we wanted to drink a little during countdown. so there were none sold in the supermarket. so we went into one of the pubs in the mall and bought a bottle of absolute vodka shared among the 3 of us. then we had to rush back to the resort cuz if not nightfall starting soon and we try as much as possible not to travel back in the dark. anyway, we got back the same taxi driver. so after we've reached the resort, we deposited our stuff in our room and rested for awhile before heading down to the dining hall area for buffet dinner tt comes with the package we booked with the travel agency. :) it was a good dinner. great variety and nice spread. but we didnt really want to stay for their prog. so after a quick dinner, we went back to our room and again, i switched on to my MTV channel and watched MTV while yang and yee mixed the drinks. and we played UNO as well. after which, we switched to channel U and watched the countdown prog.. wanted to see TUZI perform.. but in the end, i found out from san when i came back to singapore that TUZI got taken out of that night's performance.. dunnnoe why also.. they were assigned to sing 5 songs tt night actually.. anyway.. i was amazed tt we could actually finished the whole bottle of vodka by the time the clock strikes 1.30am.. and i was quite bloated and high aldy.. but still sober la.. thou i puked a little (2nd time in my life tt i puked after drinking) but was cuz i felt really bloated.. after tt, we slept all the way till the next morning..yea.. we had countdown in the comfort of our own room.. it was quite fun too! no crowd.. and actually.. we ushered in the new yr according to singapore's timing. cuz apparently batam's timing's one hr behind singapore's timing.. so yup.. and yea.. i recalled calling nat at 1am.. and had a short chat with him.. as i was using yang's phone.. so didnt dare talk for too long.. :) anyway.. here are the pics.. :)
