Thanks everyone for the well wishes! As I grow older, birthday celebrations are also getting quieter. This has been the trend in our group for this year. Gone are those days where we have to club and party all night long on birthdays. Nonetheless, I'm glad the circle of friends remain the same and friendship still last. I love all of you guys and thanks for being there for me and for tolerating me. Muack Muack Muackzzzzzzz!!
Dinner was at Artichoke@Sculptor Square. One of the newly established chill out place. It is where the old Secret Garden was.
Even though we tried to book earlier, we were unable to get a table inside (actually we see many empty reserved table during our dinner time there). It was so dark outside, we could barely see what we were having. Every dish that arrived looked the same with the rockets on top of it.
Basically, I think the food were overrated. They are not cheap too! When asked what was good, the guy told us that everything is fantastic. He mentioned that this is a cafe that actually serve fine dining quality food! hahaha seriously, the only fine dining thing about the food is the small portions served.
Feeling a little unsatisfied, we moved on to Ben and Jerry's @ Dempsey for ice cream.
My cake from Hotel Intercontinental. Thanks peepsssss :)
As for my weekend... It was spent in Batam!! haha This is my first time staying over at Batam for 1 night. And according to elf, I spent it with my "true friends" hahahah. It was an enjoyable experience and I think I really needed it. Thanks for listening to me and I'm seriously glad you guys took the time off... Seriously la!
In the living room of our 2 bedroom suite. We had a free upgrade from Holiday Inn. Cool~
The pool area
Dim Sum lunch at the hotel's Chinese restaurant, Dragon Inn.
Snack time in between at A&W. Check out the pathetic piece of chicken! We were super disappointed! hah
Oh and the massage is even cheaper than Thailand's. But the masseur there uses so much strength, I had to keep asking the person to use less force. After massage, we had seafood dinner at Golden Prawn.
Our night activity was ... drinking! hahah We had nothing but beers and chips
Well for anyone who wants a getaway near Singapore to do nothing at all but chill and talk about anything under the sun, Batam is not a bad choice considering it is quite cheap. The buffet breakfast at Holiday Inn is also pretty good. Surprisingly, there was a rather wide spread. In total, I spent about $160, inclusive of hotel stay, boat ride, taxes, massage and all meals over there.
