On 23rd and 24th May, my school's PSG has organised a Batam trip for 2 day 1 night. I had a lot of fun and made many new memories. It was also the first time I held a million dollar in my hand. XD
On the first day, we woke up early to gather at YCSS. We then took a charted bus to the ferry terminal. We board a ferry to Batam and then transferred to another bus. We met our tour guide. We started our city tour to different outlets such as chocolate house and branded outlets. After the outlets, we went for lunch. The food was delicious and nice but there were too many flies. Before we know it, 'see who can catch more flies' game began.
After our mini game, we continued to go to a few other outlets before going to Nagoya Hill shopping center. We get 2 hours of free time and we used it to shop around. After that we went to the top floor where Old Town Kaya Toast is at for a break. We met other families there and joined the tables so that we could talk.
After a while, my sis and I decided to go to the arcade center to throw some hoops. After throwing hoops, we decided to play a few games of billiard. Touching a cue stick after so long was relaxing and fun.
After Nagoya Hill, we went to the BCC hotel to check it. As we have 5 members in our family, we got an apartment. It has 2 bedrooms, 2 toilets, a living room and a small kitchen. It also has a nice view of the hotel's swimming pool.
After putting our bags, we met the others at the lobby to take the bus to our dinner location. Our tour guide told us to try eating using our hands. Even though not all tried, those who tried said it was a new experience and it was interesting as we had a new experience.
After dinner, we took the bus back to the hotel. My mum and I decided to explore around the hotel as there was a shopping center nearby. We decided to explore their Supermarket. We bought cup noodles and drinks. After that we went back to the hotel to rest.
On the second day, we woke up early to go eat breakfast. Breakfast was okay as it had what I wanted for breakfast. After breakfast, we get free time to ourselves. Some went for a massage session, while my family went for a swim. Even thought I did not swim because I wanted to catch up on my sleep. The previous few week have caused me to be sleep deprived and those few extra hours was good medicine for my body! Still, I managed to spent some time by the pool with my family and snap a few pictures.
After that we packed up and got ready to check out. After checking out, we took the bus and went for lunch at a Chinese restaurant. The food was okay but the dishes were all mainly egg related. After lunch, we went to a few more outlets before going to our last stop, Mega mall. During the bus ride, we played a game called 'What am I?'. We got the whole bus to participate and we had a lot of fun. After reaching Mega mall, we went to shop. After walking for a while, we went to A&W to eat. The root beer float and ice cream waffle was delicious. Also the donuts are cheap and nice. I also got to drink Starbucks at a cheap price. So worth it! After that we took the bus to the ferry terminal to take a ferry back to SG. On the ferry, we continued to play the game to keep our mind off our motion sickness. After reaching SG, we took a bus back to YCSS.
It was a fun and memorable trip! I'm so looking forward to the next trip!
