Through It All: back from holiday

First things first, thank God for the wonderful trip to bintan. Thank God for safe trips to and fro, though dad really dislikes sitting ferries cause he'll get seasick. Thank God for the polite people in bintan. Relaxing trip...Thank God that i could put down all my worries and troubles and just relax. We left S'pore ferry terminal at 8.10am on sat and reached bintan after an hour. At least i could catch some sleep on the ferry. checked in the hotel. oh oh, the diff between a deluxe and a superior room is that deluxe has a samsung LCD tv and the superior doesn't...hhahha...went to swim in pool and sea. The pool was awesome, its clear and its not crowded! haha...dinner-ed at poolside restuarant. And oh my, the prices there are in Sing and its way way more expensive than s'pore. 6 satay costs like $8-9 whereas in S'pore, its only about $3-4. And there's 20% extra charge! wah...really spend alot just on food. On sat night, there's soccer and we were able to recieve the channels. So watched until we slept! haha....no joke...alright, sunday was better. Breakfast buffet was ok la...then we rented a volleyball(free) to play..mum and dad ended up with injuries on their wrists. So changed sport and rented table tennis, haha...even though we just anyhow play but we still perspire alot. haha...rested by the beach, wind was real good. haha...about 2pm(s'pore is 3pm) we played archery and rifle shooting. 1st time carrying a bow and shooting an arrow. haha...the target was 10m away from us i think. haha its pretty near but arrows flew all over the place. haha....it was really tough and fingers hurt. haa i still manage to get 2 bull's eye! hahaha...ok la i know i'm very noob, 10m only but its a good start for a beginner. Dad injured his arm while shooting arrows. Rifle shooting was equally fun. Never shoot bullets out of guns before. Those in uniform groups will get a chance but i'm always in a sport cca so never got a chance. Targets were cans so when a can drop, it feels good but it isn't really fun when you hear 'piang' but no cans drop. haha...went for swimming again after that..the pool had even lesser people. So i practiced my freestyle and butterfly strokes. not that bad but no stamina, so after reaching from one end to the other, i gotta rest. hahaha....chia lat. But at least i exercised!!!hahha finally did abit of exercise. Wanted to watch soccer again in the night but ended up sleeping again. then came today, monday. wasted alot of time i must say. wait and wait and wait...cause the bus leaves the resort at 3.30pm(s'pore 4.30pm) and had to check out at 1pm. so for that 2.5 hours was just waiting. so sleep lor haha...i really get to catch alot alot alot of sleep during the trip. Had some delay when the ferry was reaching S'pore port cause there was no place to berth the boat. Reached S'pore about 6plus and cabbed home and by then its around 8pm. yupp, my brief trip to bintan. Really tired now...but i gotta study, got test on wed. sian man...come back home then have to chiong work. How i wish i could stay in bintan longer. Its so relaxed there, no hurry, no rushing, no troubles, no worries and don't have to think about screwed up life. Its just enjoying nature. really nice. i think i'll post pictures another time. now, study and rest and tmr got school. wah damn sian...hahaa oh oh...and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RACHEL!!!
