#12 - Short Getaway

 안녕! 
Chinese New Year have also ended and on the third day of my CNY, my friends and I went over to Batam and had a short getaway trip to relax ourselves. It was a short 3D2N trip with them. 

D1 - 10/02/16 
Harbourfront Centre > Harbour Bay Terminal 

So we took the Ferry that we booked through BatamFast and we chose to terminate at Harbour Bay Terminal because it was nearer to our hotel. So the ferry trip was about 40 Minutes away from SG and then we reached Harbour Bay Terminal.

So we cleared the immigration and stuffs and took a cab to Nagoya Shopping Mall because we reached Batam at about 11+ and we were only able to check in at 2pm. So we walked around and went to have our brunch. 

 After filling our tummy with food, we decided to walk around for a bit and then we came across a Cinema in the shopping mall and we decided to have an impromptu movie plan because it sounds like a plan since we don't have anything on for the rest of the day. We decided to cab to our hotel from Nagoya and we managed to check in early so YAY!  The hotel we stayed in was davienna boutique hotel.  This is their website: http://www.davienna.com/ 

After checking into our rooms and had a short rest, we decided to cab to Nagoya again to catch our movie. Cabs in Batam is easy to find! Hehehe.

After our movie sesh, we went on nearby to have another impromptu K Session with the girls as we weren't really hungry. After finish singing our hearts out, we decided to head back to nagoya shopping mall to have our dinner. 

 YES!!!!! IT'S A&W!!!!! MAD LOVE FOR A&W WHOOOOOOPZ 

After having our dinner, we made a short trip back to the hypermart to get drinks and such and cab back to the hotel. 

D2 - l1/02/16
Go Kart > Spa Massage > Barelang Bridge > Seafood Dinner

 Fast forward to second day after having our breakfast in the hotel, we went out for a Go-Kart session! YAYYYY. It was my first time playing Go-kart (Facepalm) and it was fun!!

After that, the pak-cik decided to drive us to get our Layer Cakes and we saw this guy eating this with the fire. Wowz. 

After getting our Layer Cakes, we decided to go for our Massage session at Secret Spa. Remember to make a reservation before hand or you can also head down to have a massage session! Here's their website: http://www.spasecretbatam.com/

So we chose the Balinese Aromatic Massage and head on for our massage session for 120 Minutes! It was very relaxing until i fell asleep HAHAHA. :/   Then after our massage, we went back to the hotel to take a short rest before heading out to the Barelang bridge. 

The sun sets in very early so we were there at 5pm looking at the scenery until we saw sunset and decided to time lapse and recorded the whole process HAHAHAHA. It was worth the pain because I managed to see a beautiful sunset in this nice bridge :)

Then we decided to have our seafood dinner nearby before heading back to the hotel. The seafood, YUMZ!!!!! (Y)


D3 - 12/02/16
Mega Mall > Batam Ferry Terminal > Harbourfront Centre 

So on our last day after our breakfast, we went back to our room to pack up and then we fell asleep and woke back up at 11am and started packing up again and checked out of the hotel. Then we took a cab to Mega Mall to have our lunch since opposite the Mall is the Ferry Terminal. Guess what was our lunch again? YES!!! A&W for our lunch again HAHAHA.  So after our lunch we decided to walk around till we have to check in to catch our ferry. And tadah, Goodbye Batam!

It was a nice experience to be in Batam although it's a bit boring but nevertheless, I had fun and enjoyed myself. Hehehe, I'll be back for the massage, Go-Kart and Seafood although I am never a fan of seafood. HEHEHE. 

#11- End of internship

 안녕! It marks the end of my internship on last Friday. These past 5 months had been a great one and have been a good learning experience for me.

Those who know me know that I have been dreading so much about intern for the first few weeks when I have just started. There are times and days where I'll literally drag myself out of my bed, get up and make it for work and there are times and days where I'll get up feeling excited and make it for work as well.

But well, as time goes past, I've stopped dreading and started to enjoy my internship without me knowing. There's always a reason and the main reason is because I have nice colleagues like the seniors, engineers and other interns! I loved having afternoon shift the most because I don't have to get up so early in the morning and I can sleep in a little and head to work in the afternoon. I have always the best bunch of people on my shifts! (Y) So much much love for them ^^. 

I have learn a lot these past 20 weeks and am glad to meet everybody. Of course, to everyone who have helped us a lot with the 20 weeks, a big thank you! I think we will have a harder time learning if there wasn't any help from you guys. Hehehe. I'm gonna miss this company, I'm gonna miss the favourite bunch at work. Nadiah//Ain//Nisa//Dev//Sufiyan//Khai//Atika//Joshua//Daybet//Davin//Syazwan//KhinYi//Lokesh//Uncle Patrick , I'll miss you guys and other people! :'(

Hopefully we will all dapat together. *prays*

Thank you, S3. :) 

Goodbye 2015, Hello 2016!

GOODBYE 2015 , HELLO 2016!!!!



A N N Y E O N G  H A S E Y O   H E Y  !!!!!

2016 is here, say hello! Whatever that i have went through in 2015, is enough. 2016 shall be the year i start to keeping fit, to start loving myself more and the year to allow my dreams to start coming true. In any other words, I will only allow all the good things to happen in 2016! Speaking of this, internship is coming to an end soon. Okay, shall stop here. Will be back soon, stay tuned! :D

I've learnt how to stop dreaming like I'm in a fairytale story. I've learnt how to stop thinking about the future. I've given up hoping.

#8 - Overdue Overseas Trip

안녕! Sorry for the long overdue post. Was busy and lazy to get my ass back to blogging. So the previous March holidays, I went for my first overseas trip with my high school buds, All the way to HongKong! :) It was a 5d4n trip and hell the weather there was awesome!!! 

Of course, firstly we had to get our air tickets which we purchased back in January and then settled our itinerary and stuffs by end of February to March. Who says we no need itinerary when we head overseas although it's a free and easy trip?! And we countdown and countdown untill ........

........

13th April!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Our check in time was 4am in the morning (heck yeah very the chor i know) but still we had to. So we did all the check in procedures and blablabla till 6.05am and tadahhhhhh, we boarded the plane! I managed to watch sunrise on our way to HongKong ^-^. For now, i'll let the pictures do the talking. 

Day 1, 13th April 

| Singapore // HongKong |

Pretty Sunrise by the plane! 

#PlaneWefielol 

#PlaneSelfielol

So after 4 hours of flight, we've finally reached our destination! After getting our luggages from the belt, we went outside to get our Sim Card. The ones we bought was just plainly data plan because we think that we won't have any use for calls. Next we went to have our lunch and head to our place by the express train and then the MTR all the way to Yau Ma Tei.

We've touched down! 

@ the express train to Tsing Yi 

After reaching our place, we headed out to Mongkok and walked to the famous sneakers street (Fa Yuen Street). Ohmy ohmy, that streets is really filled with shoe brands like Nike, Adidas, New Balance and other brands. So we walked till it was about 5 and headed to the peak via the MTR. The MTR in Hongkong is very common and it's easily accessible as well!!!

MongKok

One of the Nike Store which has 3 Stories!

The buildings at Central

On our way to the Peak! 

We've reached the Peak Tram Terminus! 

 Upon reaching The Peak Tram Terminus, we went to queue for tickets in order to get to the peak. Yup, it's a must to get tickets in order to get there. Then we waited for the tram to get us up to the peak :)b

Taking the tram up to the peak!

The Peak! The city lights are beautiful right? :)

The Peak 2015!

It was chilly up at the Peak and we watched the city lights of HongKong at 16 Degrees! Yes, you heard it right! We conquered the coldness at 16 degrees with all the cold air being blown to us! Then we went to have our late dinner nearby at Tsui Wah Restaurant and head back to our place. 

Day 2, 14th April 2015 

| Ngong Ping 360 // Citygate outlet // Causeway Bay |

Based on the itinerary that we had, 2nd day was supposed to be our shopping day but ended up, we went for another adventure :P So we had our breakfast @ Mido Cafe which was near our place before heading to CityGate outlet @ TungChung. We headed to Citygate at first but all the shops wasn't open yet and we happened to see the direction to taking a cable car to Ngong Ping Village... which means, an impromtu adventure for us! So we decided to queue up for the cable car tickets to Ngong Ping Village and we chose the Crystal Cabin! 

@ the mido cafe for breakfast

Our purchase for the crystal cabin cable car

It's the crystal cabin car!!!

After finish touring around the village, we took the cable car back and went back to CityGate Outlet but left soon as there wasn't anything much at the outlet. Next, we went to causeway bay. Causeway Bay in HongKong is just like Singapore's Town area. We went to places like Hysan Place, Time Square and other malls and spent our time there and then headed back to our place for a rest. 

Day 3, 15th April 

| Ocean Park | 

Headed out to Australian Dairy Farm for our breakfast and damn, it was yummy (for us at least). Their toasts, Macaroni and Ham and Iced Milk Tea!!  But maybe because we could speak in canto, we had a laugh with the waiters there hahaha. After breakfast, we went to Ocean Park :) 

Yes, we took this cray ride!!!

Caught this beautiful sunset :) 

After everything, we went back to Yau Ma Tei and decided to head to Temple Street since it was near our place. Thereafter, we headed to the HongKong's famous dessert shop that pops up... HECK YES HUI LAU SHAN!!!!!! *inserts yummy icon*

 

Day 4, 16th April

| Tsuen Wan // Macau // |

As planned in our itinerary, we decided to go for one more last adventure instead of staying in HongKong - Yes, M A C A U!!!!!!! :-) Went to Tsuen Wan for breakfast and then head to the ferry terminal to get our tickets to Macau! Walked around The Venetian then headed to Galaxy Hotel and then to Ruins of St. Paul before heading back to HongKong and went back to Mongkok to get some more stuffs.

@ The Venetian ;)

@ Ruins of St. Paul :-) 

Streets of Macau

HongKong's GongCha!!! *Slurps*

Day 5, 17th April 

| HongKong // Singapore |

Woke up early and went for our breakfast. Wanted to head back to Australian Dairy Co but the queue was too long and we were too hungry :( From Jordan, we went back to Mongkok to get our last minute stuffs before lugging all our luggages back to the airport. Our flight back initially was supposed to be 6.45pm but ended up there was a delay and reached Singapore only at 11+ close to 12ish. 

Just like that, it was the end of my first overseas trip with friends. Looking forward to more trips but first, save moolehhhhhhhhh.
