Dip in the Pool
Next morning we woke up bright and early for a dip in the pool!
Weather was really good!
After the dip in the pool, we checked out and went to the Harris cafe to claim our free lunch.
I had lemon butter fish with rice. As you can see, it's damn oily and unhealthy. But it tasted good!!!
姐ordered the veggies soup with rice. Lesson learnt, when in Batam, never order any soupy stuff.
And that's our 2D1N rendezvous.

Rush Job
Along the way to Nagoya for some shopping we spotted these very interesting way of sending your congrats to a new opening mall! The whole road was literally lined on both sides all the way to the new mall!
Anyway we were damn hungry so when we reached Nagoya, we zoomed in looking for food. Finally settled on this.
I have no idea what she ordered already...
but they have MILO DINOSAUR!!!!! yum!!!
姐's main course... some chicken soup thingy which looked quite pathetically little.
How can you not have ayam penyet when you go Batam! It was nice!
My main course... I was somehow in the mood for mee rebus! And check out the serving too!
Since 姐's main course was so not filling, we ordered this eggplant thingy which is damn nice too!
After that I was too busy shopping to take much pics. It was quite rush because we need to keep track of the timing when the bus will come fetch us back to Harris.
Yes, we bought a lot of junk food since we're most likely to skip dinner for the spa session at night.
Since we had a little time before our spa session, we went for mani & pedi~~~
Me trying to tell the lady how to "press and hold" to take a pic...
Finally spa time!!!

Girls Night Out
After much planning and all, we finally decided on a short trip to Batam just to suit my schedules.
We woke up bright and early to catch the ferry!
The weather was so good, I was able to capture a really good pic of the ferry with my Eximus
Acting all touristy... This was captured with my Eximus too! Not too bad right? Love the colours and the lighting.
It was rather boring in the ferry so we starting taking pics.
Finally we reached Harris Resort. I love it! It's my first time there and I love that it's so new, so clean and so pretty!
Check out the view from our balcony! Such pretty colours captured by my Eximus!!!
More in next post...

Drunk on Shiraz & not having to worry about hangovers...
I've been away for some time... lots of things keeping me busy too :(
Anyway I'm back! Guess where's this~? A very pretty vineyard which we visited last month. More pics to come~
Ponyo ponyo ponyo sakana no ko...
Movie of the moment: Ponyo
credits:wikipedia
I've been wanting to watch Ponyo for the longest of time but haven't got the chance to. Ever since I went to Japan and visited the Ghibli Museum, I'm even more determined to check out Ponyo.
I wasn't disappointed! The plot might have been very simple and straightforward, but the execution itself was beautifully done. I believed Hayao Miyazaki has outdone himself with Ponyo! There's nothing not to like about Ponyo!

Longchamp
Because Jo's been asking about my Longchamp Le Pliage bags, and I've also received quite a number of requests, I'll be addressing them all in this post~
Long Flights
I hate long flights. In fact, I hate flying. There's something about being in the air with nothing under your feet that always gives me the jitters. It makes me feel damn insecure. And then there's the helplessness when you encounter turbulence. So now is the time to say I wish I have some magical skills... teleporting would be great.
Anyway after sitting still for almost 8 hours behind this inconsiderate Jap ojisan who pushed his seat all the way back, and me literally having the tiny TV right in my face and my food right on my lap, this was a very rewarding view. Not rewarding enough though.
But something about seeing the first sunrise in Japan, even though knowing damn well it's the same old sun, it got me excited.

New Year
In Japan, the start of a new calendar year holds much more significance than just the start of a new year. It is much like our Chinese New Year, where most Japanese return back to their hometown to celebrate the new year with their family.
The day begins with a trip to the local shrine. Usually you can see many Japanese women deck out in their exquisite kimonos as they make their way down to pray for safety, happiness, or longevity. Already while I was there in Decemeber, some random few obasans were spotted in their beautiful kimonos at the shrines, after which they dropped by the local kimono shop to have their new year outfit made.
It's the time of the year where it's really cold in Japan. While I was there, almost all parts of Japan were experiencing heavy snow except Tokyo. It was an exceptionally cold winter for them.

Dreams Do Come True!
Up till now I still cannot believe that I actually went Japan! I've always wanted to go, but somehow, never gotten round to it. Thank you Mr こいびと for making it possible and helping me realise my dream!

Melaka Road Trip
Going for a 2nd round of wedding for Felix & Chernin in Melaka.
Along the way, our van broke down on the highway somewhere between Johor and Melaka. So I was able to take some nice pictures with my Eximus.

The room smell damn nice... because the aromatherapy oil was already burning in the room, waiting to welcome us.

Feel so unprepared. Haven't bought the films for my underwater camera yet!

Tummy tummy be gone~!
I've decided to start my diet plans already. Otherwise I won't be in time for our upcoming Phuket trip. How to appear in a bikini with a protruding tummy? But before that, I gotta go satisfy my craving for crabs first!!!
The things aging does to you. So sad...

たのし！
♥ the service apartment we stayed in. It was big, has a kitchen with microwave & all the works! The best part about it is... that a lot of shopping malls are all within walking distance!
