It was a very impromptu and last minute trip to Bintan with the 2 cray cray women.
Was excited that I could travel with Mr Lah for the last trip of the year.
His job requires him to be busy for the CNY period, so this short getaway was just the great way to end the 2014 with him.
Yah, as always, the forced face when asked to take picture!
And fast forward! Our first selfie on the island of Bintan!
We stayed at Nirwana Resort Hotel Bintan, and there was a free shuttle which too us from the ferry terminal to the resort.
The resort was a stones throw away and we literally took only less than 5 minutes to get to the resort lobby.
As we arrived a tad too early, we weren't able to check in, so the typical tourists' calls for activities in the resort. Headed to the resorts' Recreation Centre to check out the activities that they offer.
As it was about 10am Bintan time, most activities were not open (BOWLING!!!)So we had to chill by the cafe before we decided on the shooting range.
FYI: the pricing of the F&B are all comparable to the pricings in Singapore or even Sentosa!
That's the only setback though.
The rest of the experience was great.
Finally! the bowling centre was open.
The front desk did give us 2 coupons for bowling, so free of course play luh! hahaha
Team Chio Bu! *HAHAAHHAHAHA*
Team Enemy!
Im not telling you who won! hahahha
Played some ping pong before it was time to check in.
We changed and got ready to check out the beach nearest to our resort front.
This is awkward. What you don't see behind the camera.

They managed to catch a mini hermit crab and was very amused by it! There were so many little hermit crabs around.
My scary back view. hahahhahahahahha!
Took the darkest ride of our lives into the village area and to the end of the island, to reach a really delicious kelong place.
Thinking long and hard, what to order, as all the dishes seemed delicious!
The happy couple ordered!
FOOD IS SERVED!!!! WOWOWOWOWOWOW!
I know you're having a very bad craving and am thinking of heading to chomp chomp this very moment right... *Raise eyebrows*
Kangkong
Cereal Sotong
Butter prawn
salted egg crab
this ended off our day 1 in Bintan!
The dinner was great, and I'm still yearning for it till today!
