1st Team ~ The potatoes in the curry chicken does not adsorb the curry flavour well enough

2nd Team ~ Understand it's 'Pepper Duck Soup' but it's too spicy liao okie! Pls be careful when u pour the pepper in..! This chef confirm fail... HAHA~ keep Pouring Pepper in sia... Think his taste bud a bit of problem, need to arrange check up urgently.

As i mentioned previously, coming to Bintan suppose to be a relaxing trip, however it seem that it's not different from the one i had at the beginning of the year when i went BBK.

~Totally worn out~

At BBK - Walk, Shop, till you drop.

At Bintan - Sun make you drop.

Bintan Lagoon Resort 16 - 19 April 2010

The tropical paradise of Bintan Lagoon Resort offers a world of choice. Ideally situated just 55 minutes by high speed ferry from Singapore, the resort overlooks the South China Sea and archipelago of the Riau islands. Sparkling azure waters, gentle swaying palm trees, sugar fine white sands and warm personalized service.


Went on a short getaway trip with a group of 10pax on the 16 - 19 April.
They are - Jeremy Chong, himself & his mum, elder sister, elder sister's baby boy - Shawn, Crystal Heng, Winston Choy, Joanne Chia, Alexis kwok, Shi jun qi & me..! =)

'BUGANVIL VILLA'

The place where i stay...!!! =)

It's double storey with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a BBQ area. There's a personal buggy tagging along every Villa, so everywhere you go, you will be driving your buggy around. Nice~!!!
No License required for driving a buggy..! =P

There's an extensive range of activities both in and out of the water at Bintan Lagoon Resort.
Fun in the sun and the sea abounds.

Basically you can't escape tanning since the sun is working so hard everyday =)
I liked the weather at Bintan, the sun always wake up daily and shines up the whole island. During Night time, the entire island is cool down by the rains and it's a good time to get some sleep on the bed! Zzzz~

first time getting my eyes on the blue sea~
went to the pool almost everyday,
getting my hands on the laser quest & golf..!
Pro right...? playing Golf... haha... went for the driving range.
First time experiencing it...

$8 for 80 balls

Try hitting the ball to 200m. Not easy okie..! Trust me, some of them actually got blister after a few tries. haha...
Where else I only managed to hit the ball once to 200m and that's my greatest achievement for that day and i sweat like hell~ =D



I enjoyed this entire trip very much.
Before boarding the ferry, we went Sheng Siong to buy some groceries, food to bring over coz the foods & drinks at Bintan is damn expensive.!

Imagine a 1.5L of coke selling at $9..!!! lol...

We took turns to prepared dinner for the first night, had a little competition among ourselves. It's was fun, everyone putting in effort to come out with a edible dish which turn out to be a nice and fruitful meal.!

But the process of preparing the dinner was long~ Almost starve to death... hahaha...
Everyone took like an hour to prepare the dish... Omg~
Start preparing at 5pm & started eating at 8pm... =P

Most importantly, we took turns to wash the plates & bowls as well.. haha...

We had BBQ on the second night, enjoying watching soccer at the same time.
Eat till you drop... lol...
After which, everyone sat down together and watch 'How to Train Your Dragon' on the Big LCD Screen provided in the living room. I can feel that everyone was just struggling to open their eyes and trying their best to finish watching the movie.. haha..

On the last night of our stay, we had Mee Hoon Kueh for dinner.
Everything is self-made, cook your own and enjoy your self-made dinner. =)

This trip should be a relaxing one, however, everyone seen to be very very tired everyday... lol...
Seem like I'm tasked to wake everyone up everyday..!!!

Regretted not taking OFF on Tuesday as well.
It was so tiring for me to wake up so early for work, almost late =P


Afterall, I enjoyed myself and don't mind visiting this island again in the future
Cya~ =)

1st April 2010

Wef 1st April 2010, I'm officially promoted from 2LT to LTA

It's not an April fool joke~! It's real..!! =)
-2 more month to go..!

Suffer a small crack in my right fibula since Sept 09 and haven't been running since then. Excuse all sorts of sport activities include parade as well.

It's time for a check back on my right fibula.!
Had tries running short distance these days (chasing after bus) =P
Somehow feel weird after the run. Maybe it's the psychology barrier that occur since the incident. Need to overcome it..!!

I want to pick up jogging once again~
Someone asked me whether i still can get 'Gold' for IPPT after so many month of resting.
hmm... hopefully i guess?! haha... only can find out the answer by going at it...! =)

Anyone interested in taking part in this year AHM..?! =D
haha.. wanted to go at it once again.. Didn't managed to complete the run at my best physical last year as i was injured back then. Want to have a go and see what's my best timing this year.

So..... Hopefully the doctor clear my injury & i can start training again! (",)


It's Good Friday,
Hope everyone has a Happy GOOD Friday!!!



Clearing LEAVE & OFF soon before Ord~
Anyone planning to visit any places...???

TRUE FITNESS

Missing for 2Months!!! =P

Anyway, Guess where i went this evening..?!

I went to attend YOGA lesson at True Fitness.! (Pacific Plaza)

Can you believe it?? =D

It's true... my friend register my name w/o informing me.

And i went...

Well, Yoga seem to be some sort of stretching exercise to me after attending the lesson.

Every moves that the instructor teach, it's all abt stretching your muscles.

From head to toes, none of the muscles group can escape from it.

It's a 1hr session, just nice.. any longer than that i don't think any beginners can take it..lol...

(talking abt myself) =P

Never underestimate the power of YOGA.!

Always though it's just a relax & simple exercise.. haha...

Although No Running, carrying Weight involved.

You will still sweat by doing those stretching moves.!

However it definitely relax your mind but not your muscles..

I suffered from cramp just right after the first few moves... lol...

Not easy... really... maybe my muscles is kinda stiff..

After the session, it makes you more refresh and feel lighter..

That's why i can't get to bed yet.. lol...

Wondering whether i will get muscle ache tmr? =D

Counting down to ORD~ =)
