Bintan Outskirt!

Sunglasses = Beach time!


05-06 May 2012 was a holiday to Bintan with love and her friends. The main objective was to do nothing at all if we can. Teleporting ourselves to Bintan and lazing around in the sun and frolicking on the wide sandy beaches. And true enough, the friends around you build the experience. Be it Maldives or Bintan, as long there are great mates around that creates the fun matters most :D .


A little review here: 

The sky is uniquely beautiful which reflects perfectly on the imperfect sea. Honestly, the sea wasn't the best I have seen, nowhere close to clean and clear. If there is an example I must illustrate, then East Coast Park would be the best in line that resembles. However on the surface, the seamlessly blue sky gave the poor conditioned sea a nicer picture.

Would I return again?
The sky is beautiful, the staffs are friendly, the rooms are nicely furnished and maintained. However the objective of going to a beach has not been fulfilled as the water there is really poor. Long travelling time, 6 hours to and fro by ferry and land transfer. Considering it as a 2D1N trip, we have wasted 6 hours on just getting to and away from resort. Furthermore, it takes 1 hour from the resort to get to town. Its another 2 hours wasted for return trip.

The sand is dirty as well, nothing compared to redang's fine sand. There isn't a pub where there is live band for people to chill at night. So staying in the room seems to be the only option. Moreover, there are no stars! Anyway, we wasted that 2 hours going to town and there wasn't much that we have found. It was a long journey and we were famished when we actually get to eat, the food were nice but in terms of hygiene rating, its really bad. They are food stalls combined together in the middle of narrow road that sells seafood and other food we would normally find in newton circus hawker center.

To add some fairness, I have to say they have one of the best sunset and sunrise I have ever seen. The moon light that reflects on the water is a view greatly not to be missed when visiting there. However, whether I would return again?.... seems to be a no when weighing the uncomfortable factors. Total spending was $200, maybe using this money plus some $50-$100 topup to Redang would be more ideal :)

Nevertheless, Love, thanks for bringing me to this trip with your friends. I believe we enjoyed each other accompany :) Many funny incidents along. Chendol, the 'i want cook curry' and many more incidents filled this holiday with beautiful memories!

Homesick O' No

Despite all the fun, I admit I am homesick. A common cycle one will go through in a different environment '4H': Honeymoon-Homesick-Hate-Homesweethome. Missing my mum alot. A scene today when i passed by a temple, saw an old lady, probably in her 60s. Could barely find a black hair on her, could say all white. Me and my friend, both of us were looking around for directions. Happen to met her, showed a benevolence face with wrinkles and of about 150 height. Somehow somewhere i could find a resemblance of my mum. I looked at her closely, and the thought of that mother would aged like her one day killed my strong front that i have to put. I was secretly tearing out of nowhere. She just resemble my mum alot, not very much on the look but the way she talk to us and how nice she was. Everyone ages, many know this but dont understand and i dont too. We can do all we want in life but there is a time limit to filal piety. I just think i am not a good enough son.

We had once upon a time...

Once upon a time, There was a village where some humans are equipped with wings and unfortunately some do not. There was an ordinary little boy who is one of the unfortunate ones without the wings, he was playing in the backyard of his village, he was running around with butterflies. Running after those butterflies, made him ran further and further from his village, he soon discovered a cliff. The little boy was curious what lies at the bottom of the cliff, as he went closer to the edge of the cliff, he then soon realised it is a very deep end, where he could hardly see any visible sights of ground. Then came a gentle female voice that seems to come from the bottom of the cliff, "Hello, you are? Wanna be friends?" The little boy made friends with the anonymous voice from the bottom of the cliff and came by often to the cliff to chat with her. After a week, both the little boy and girl enjoys each other accompany. One day when the little boy makes him daily routine visit again

Decision.

A dream that may turn into reality. Nothing much today, Same old routine at home. However, another big decision i have to make. About the Singapore Youth Flying Club. It all started with my friend, shawn. I have not played habbo for sometime, around two months. Also, i have not keep in touch with my habbo friends, whatevers clique since January until last week. But due to my curiosity i went back to habbosoup to help and engage myself in habbo everyday for at least 10 mins per day. Then, on saturday, 4th April, i happen to met one of my friend in the whatevers clique, shawn. He suddenly talked about PPL. Then engaged me to know more about it. He then told me SYFC - Singapore Youth Flying Club, that he is going there to apply for flying application. After he said that, i recalled 2 years back, my maths tuition teacher did told me about the youth flying club and urged me to join. Back then i didnt really pay much attention to it, but it did left me a deep impact. To be honest, since yo
