Trip to Batam

Finally a time to jot down on the blog.

Right after Cait had recovered, they were skeptical whether if Cait is able to take the trip to Batam or not. Because, the whole family of 6 will be going for their spa session, while the kids will be taken care of by one and another.


After a long decision and discussion, they finally nodded and go ahead. It will be good for Cait since she will be travel via boat. As Chinese say, cross the sea will be good; especially for the family.



Before the day of the trip, they went for some enjoyment first.

She fallen down due to lost balance on the rubbish bin at home, therefore the injured part explains.



To bring the kids over to Batam is not easy at all. You have to ensure that there are sufficient food, water and tibit for them to eat; not to forget luggage and security too.

There are so many things to look after and beware of. But all these does not stop them from going ahead. Hubby sister had booked for massage and thanks goodness there's transfer from terminal to shop.

So, on the day itself, everyone have to wake up pretty early to get it prepare. They were ready to set off by 8am, and sad to say that the carpark at Harbor Front was full, thus the cp they can park is at Vivo City.

This is an interesting trip for the Ongies because it had been a long time since they had stepped out of Singapore! The last time they went aboard was 4 years ago - to BKK!

Clar with wifey, while Cait moved to the back and sit with her grandparents.

Soon they were on board of ship, both princess fallen asleep until they were about to reach their destination.

Once everyone had landed, hubby sister quickly went to look for the person in contact, whom the one that is suppose to fetch them to the massage center.

The plan: hubby, wifey and father will go first, while the rest stay put with the kids. Although hubby's sister friend were around, but it is not nice to request for help, especially when they are not so close.

Entire massage took about 3hrs; timing are pretty packed because they need to reach the terminal by 6.30pm, and hubby sister massage will end at 6pm!

Hubby and wifey had been transferred to another outlet, which is right opposite, because they requested for couple room. But the entire atmosphere was quite bad: noise pollution and waiting time are quite horrifying. Not when you have to wait for one jacuzzi! This was not told before; giving a thumbs down.

After the massage session, along with dad and wifey, they brought the kids for a meal. But let's fill up the adult tummy first - the famous Ayam Penyet (superb chili)

The bandung that Cait holding is way too sweet to digest!


After the food, they went for a walk around the building. It was a nice place to walk around, as to spent time. But to buy things... it's really nothing much. Food is nice, that's true.

They went to a supermarket and hubby was tempted to get a carton of instant noodle back home! But they decided to get different flavor in loose packaging first.

When they wanted to head off, Cait saw this cute trolley, and she insisted on getting it. Along with Clar both of them totally went crazy over it!

How long have you not seen A&W? Time to dug in for curly fries and float! These are one of the fav for people who know about A&W. It's a pity that it closed down in Singapore.

On the way back to Terminal


By the time they were at Terminal, the check in had been changed to 1930 instead. Thus, a quick walk at Mega Mall, which is beside the terminal.

The kids really enjoyed themselves, despite the tiredness everyone had. They knocked out after bathing at home. Cait hope to go back to Batam again!

Nevertheless, the trip is memorable.

As there are too many things to carry, hubby decided to snap the photos using S3, instead of LX3 or brought his monster cam there.
