Wonderful Spa Retreat @ Batam!!!

it was 6.30am when me and hubbie woke up and get ready to meet juwit to go habourfront ferry terminal to take ferry to batam...lol...

i was freaking tired bcoz the night b4, hubbie couldnt sleep...so we were like watching tv on the bed..talking and having pillow fight!! hahaha...most of the time, our pillow fight starts with me disturbing him (e.g. sticking my foot into his face while he's watching tv..or when u pulled his 脚毛 etc etc, and in "return", he would pin me down and start tickling me all over!! hahaha!!! so in the end, i only get to sleep at abt 3 plus am!! and i only had 3 hrs of sleep!! kaoz!!!

so after we met up with juwit and kahfei, we went to get our ferry ticket and head to MacDonald's to hyave our breakfast...i was watching the tv commercial for so long abt this macgriddles ah... from the pict and the commercial,, it looks so nice..with honey syrup inside the pancake!! lol...looks yummy...

BUT.....

this is the worst MacDonald's breakfast i ever had!!! YUCKS BIG TIME!!! the pancake was like so soggy and looks so "soaked" in the honey syrup!! it tasted funny too..the meat patty was salty but the honey was so sweet!! i was totally confused with the taste!! and dun know wat the hell i was eating... best part was that Ms Juwita had eaten this Macgriddle shit before and she finds that it taste bad..but she didnt even warn me abt it!!! wah kaoz!!! Win liao!!! me and hubbie was like stuffing down the whole burger..and we eat simply bcoz we were hungry... i wasnt even really sure that this lump of thing that i am eating was edible or not...

a lump of !~&%$*@!!! YUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

our ferry timing was at 0930...so we board earlier to take some pix inside...lol...

ms juwita and ms andie... the lovely lady...

andie and hubbie...


juwit and her hubbie, kah fai..

surprisingly, this time round, the ferry ride wasnt as nausea as previous rides...maybe bcoz i was chatting the whole time with juwit...lol...

my all time fav donut...lol...we only got 2 donuts..bcoz juwit and kah fai say they dun want..but when we went back to the hotel and they tried the donut, they regret not getting it...lol...

we then checked into our rooms...this was our room...1 bedroom suit... its has a dinning area,

a living room...



a balcony area...


the prefect view from our balcony...
really see the whole swimming pool ...

next to the living room were our bed room..its quite an open concept, and the bed room and living room were juz separated by a sliding door...
our toilet...

our room were smaller compared to juwit's room...they upgraded for us 1 of the room to a 2 bed room suit..so its really bigger...there were 2 bed rooms and 2 toilet, one inside the master bedroom, the other one was outside..and oso a dinning area and living room!! its really huge!!

after settling down and resting our tired feet, we head straight to dragon inn for lunch..the food there was superb!! its was a chinese restaurant serving dim sum in the morning and oso ala carte menu...
this were wat we had..
siew mai!!! (with fish roe on it!!!)
my FAV chicken feet!!! this one was GOOD!!! one of the BEST chicken feet i ever tried.. can really compete with the chinatown dim sum restaurant that i always visit!!!
yummy sweet and sour pork!!! this one was hubbie's fav!!! its was so crunchy but yet, its not dry..u can taste the sweet and sour sauce in every piece of meat!!! highly recommended!!
this one is my FAV!!! Egg plant with minced pork cooked in claypot!!! super nice too!! and best part, its not bery oily...usually they use alot of opil to fry the egg plant..but this one its not bery oily!! DELICIOUS!!!
from the outlook, u already can savour the "greeny" taste within these kai lan!! its really FAT & JUICY!!! and the stem was so!!!!!! crunchy!!! usually hubbie dun eat any veg with stem!! but he finished every single piece i gave him!!! if u dun believe my words, look at his actions!!! no one can force him to eat something he dun like..but if he does eat something that he usually dont, it means that its REALLY REALLY GOOD!!!

this is wat we had...lol... all these juz for S$ 50!!! and its in a restaurant!!
Kah fai's last piece syndrome!! lol..he was forced to have the last piece of veg.. but i think he really dun mind!! hahaha!!! lol...

after lunch, we decide to have a walk by the pool side to aid in digestion...prior to our spa treatment!!

initially i was quite septical abt it..but after i went thru the 2.5 hr of spa, i was totally convinced why it deserve an award!!!
before we start our spa, we went to soak ourselves in the jacuzzi first..then after that we went to the recep area and register ourselves and fill up some forms..then we were given a cold towel each to wipe our face!!! think they soak it in some aromatherpay stuff nahz..then it really smells so nice!!! its really shiok lohz..imagine u juz got up from the hot jacuzzi then ppl give u this nice smelling cold towel to wipe ur face!! wah kaoz!!! shiok!!
after that we were led into 2 different couple rooms...our therapists waiting inside for us to arrive...lol... then we were asked to change and juz wrap towel over..we were be naked inside with only our undies...then after that we were ushered to a seat and there they washed our foot with warm water with and some aromatherpay essence...
after that, we were asked to remove our towel and lie facing down on a big massage bed with nice comfy pillow and towels around u and they cover me with another towel... then they start by laying warm towels on my back, hands and legs to relax my muscle first..it feels really good!!! then they applying some body scrub on me and start scrubing my back.. the scrub that they used was Avocado scrub..it was not those like commercial creamy scrub that u can get outside..its really those like they grind themselves one..it looks like those green green paste like stuff...and really got those leafy smell... the way they apply the scrub was so pro lohz..and they scrub and massage me at the same time.. totally relaxing!!! after they do my front, back and both hands and leg, they used warm wet towels to clean off the scrub and then now they are ready to apply body mask on me...
the body mask that they used was MILK BODY MASK!!!!!!!!!!! it smells really nice and its so warm when they apply it on my body...then they apply and rub and massage it onto ur skin!! OMG!! heavenly!!! they will apply and massage the milk mask all over my body and after that used several big towel and wrap my body up.. i felt warm and relax during the body wrap..and they covered ur eyes with wet warm towels!! wah kaoz!! its really SHIOK lohz!!! hubbie even doze off several times and i could hear him snore lohz!!! lol... after abt 20 mins, we were led into the bath room to wash off the body mask..its really milk smell..and i almost wanna eat it!! lol...
after shower, we were led to the tea table again..and there we were served hot herbal drinks to cool and detox our body!! not sure wat the drink was..but it taste really nice..abit sweet sweet and sour one...lol...looks like lime juice..but its much sweeter..lol...
after the drink, we lie back onto the massage bed and then they start apply warm massage oil on our body and start give our back a good massage!! wow!! its really good lohz... and they were bery attentive..constantly asking me whether the pressure was oki or not etc etc... bery bery good service!!! they massaged my back, front and all 4 limbs...super shiok lohz!! while i was facing down rite, they have this hole in the bed and directly below the hole, there was a bowl of warm water with those aromatherapy essence inside..so while they massage ur back, u breath i those aroma therapy and it really helps to relax ur body alot alot!! lol..they oso played those natural sounds like birds chipping and those raining or water fall sound!! wah kaoz..u close ur eyes rite, u juz think that u are in the woods with a huge waterfall near u... BEST!! then after that they massage u, they let u rest ur body..and start doing facial for u!! they will cleanse ur face first then apply some facial stuff on ur face and give u a good face , head and neck massage..and applied some warm sand bag on ur eyes..to rest it...then after that they use warm wet towel to wipe it off for me then they applied the mask for us and start give u another good massage...wow..its juz so nice lohz!!! then they cover ur eyes again then they let u rest and doze off abit..and after abt 15 mins, they woke us up and clean our face for us with warm wet towels again... then it comes to the end of the spa session... they help us get up and give us a final massage over our tired back and shoulders... and then serve us drinks again in the recep area!! wah kaoz!!!
the total experience was HEAVENLY!!! i neber done something like this b4 lohz!!! wah kaoz!!! we were totally relaxed after the session!! SHIOK is the only word i can use to describe the whole experience!!!
