Double dating at Batam was great, just a simple getaway to relieve stress before heading back to books & the upcoming bridging exams. Jet Raider the ferry brought us there, with waiwai & me happily munching on sandwiches by Hati. Enjoying the sea breeze with occasional strong winds which almost blew my cap away! Temperature taking upon hitting the shores, skipped the extremely long queue of custom checks with my ever-so-convincing acts ;) Apparently, they're having elections thus the long queues but nevertheless, 4 of us managed to skip through it because of my wits! HAHAHA!
The cable ski park was just a 5min drive away, applied sunblock & get changed before briefing. Pat applied thick layers till she became MJ? Freaking hilarious, she's white like a sheet. Briefing about the rules & what to do, what not to do etc. The person in charge ask who cant swim & im like the one & only pathetic sole who raised my hand :( Anyway, that will not deter me from trying to wake board! But the weather was not to my favour, Mr Sunshine refused to shine on me which means the MJ Pat didnt put the sunblock to great use.
Started off with knee board & among the 4 of us, I did the best in the first 2 rounds, probably because I was more cautious since I cant swim? We practically knee board the entire day because we didnt managed to try wakeboard & were trying to complete rounds with the double knee board. Pat controlled while I tugged her tightly but we still fell into the waters even before reaching muddy no.2! With the never say die attitude, the boyf decided to do the double knee board with me! Whoa, my left leg slipped off den I was like yelling & boyf told me to let go of him :( As soon as both my legs went into the water, my red shorts got ripped off by the waters! Freaking hilarious man!
Drizzling thus we decided to head over to Harris Resort for free sauna & jacuzzi. The staff there were friendly thus I felt slightly guilty as we were trespassing! Pat & I were enjoying in the female area while the jacuzzi over at the gents was under maintenance, we decided to pop by the male area so that we could sauna together! The challenge was 30minutes of staying in the sauna room & you wouldnt want to know who was the first who gave up! HAHAHA! Jacuzzi with photo taking resulted in cramps on the boyf's leg! :x But 3 of us ignored him & carried on with cam whoring.
Ferry back was bad, almost puked but the boyf grabbed away my plastic bag & insisted that its a psychological problem. I hate it when my life revolves around plastic bags, damn it! Netball at SIM was awesome, training's a killer especially when its NSE coach again! :x Arms ached madly but encouraging & friendly team mates made it way better :) :) Looking forward to more competitive games with them :)
Ciaoing to bed after this super long post, haha! Enjoy peeps & pardom my hiatus for the previous month, ultra busy!
