Hey there!

I am back.If you actually go to my sister's blog,she has already wrote down what exactly happened at Batam.But her views and mine about Batam are sort of different so I'll just blog about Batam anyways aite?

So woke up early in the morning.Had a shower and took a cab to Harbour Front.Boarded a ferry,Penguin Seletar around 9 plus.It was raining all the way from Singapore to Batam so we didn't get a chance to move to the top level,outdoors in short to have a good view of the sea.So instead I slept in the ferry.It was nice to actually sleep in a moving boat you know.It feels like as if you're being rocked to sleep.Aww such a baby! Lols..

So we reached Batam,still raining.But I guess it was a good thing cause Batam tends to get really hot and the rain kind of help cool the weather.After a few years of not meeting someone,you tend to get shocked when you see that person change.In terms of gaining weight,a beard or anything for that matter.

That was my reaction when I saw Abang Danial.He's our personal chauffeur you see.He drives us around Batam,to shopping malls,restaurants and stuffs.So first,we went to our cousin's kampong.They said they missed us badly.Aww,we kind of miss you too.I think..

The house they were currently living in was a lot smaller then the previous one.You see they had to move as their plot of land was bought by I don't know who.Only the remains of the tiles can be seen.So we put our stuffs there and then sat down an talked for a while.Then we went to have our lunch at Pondok Kuring.It was a nice place,serving nice food.So after we ate,we went to Nagoya Mall and went shopping.I only bought a shirt and other personal stuffs.Things there as you already know is cheap so yeah.Then we went to A&W and buy ourselves drinks.I bought myself a vanilla milkshake.It was absolutely nice man!It was served with a vanilla ice cream as the topping.Delicious,and it's cheap.It's about 1.50 Singapore dollars.Pretty cheap yeah?I told my grandfather,if they had this in Singapore,I would buy it everyday.And his reply was,"Yeah,and then you'll gain weight and have high blood pressure or diabetes." Haha.

Then we went back to the kampong.It was seriously dark there.After 6 pm that is.I manage to sleep at night.Trust me,the night felt long when I was there.I woke up at 5.30!Thanks to the rooster.It's like a walking alarm clock that when you press snooze and it goes off every 5 minutes.

When we woke up,we had a bath.Water from the well.Nice and cooling.Pretty much remind me of Sec 2 camp.Ohh how I miss it!Ok back on track here..
After I had a shower,I sat around.Played with the cat.Talking about the cat,it's white with one black spot on it's body and the tip of its ears are black.It's a male cat,clean and cute.I think he's about a year or 2 years old.It keeps following my mother around.My mother,being the person who are petrified of cats keeps running away and gasping,screaming,yelling every time the cat nears her.It was a pretty funny scene to watch.I said to my father and grandfather,

"I think if Mama were to leave here for a week,she'll die of heart attack.And the cause of death?Shocked by a white tabby cat that meant no harm."

Went to the beach around 8 plus.We were in hunting mode for crabs every time our feet touches the sand at the beach.And yes,we caught crabs.Big ones and small ones.2 or 3 of them are about the size of your palms,maybe a bit smaller.Other can be as small as a house spider.We dig,dig,dig.And they got caught,caught,caught.Put in an empty bottle or a thrown plastic cup.Most of the crab were caught by my 4 year old cousin,Norman's his name.I actually asked him to teach me how to catch crabs.And he showed me,but still unsuccessful.I guess you'll need skills.Some of the crabs I caught are the ones that were spotted in the water or were an obvious enough target.Haha!

We were called back up cause our far away cousins/relatives came to visit.They were like determined to bring us back to see their house at Kapeling(don't mind the spelling) and there I was,putting a fake smile and wondering,"I don't even know you.Who are you again?"

I rejected their invitation,politely of course.And somehow,when we were there,people keep saying that me and my sister are twins.At least they thought we were and we told them no.We're 3 years apart.They're shocked,obviously.

So we went back to Singapore(I'm just shortening the story here).It's nice to be home.Hahaha,if you want pictures.Click on my sister's link.

Goodbye! :)
