Managed to squeeze out some time despite the hectic work schedule for a much needed getaway with my Honey Pie which both of us badly need.

Ready to set off! Boarded the ferry and after one hour, we arrived at sunny Bintan island!

We were greeted by pretty Malay dancers and served with chilled drinks while waiting to check in at the lobby of Nirwana Gardens Resort Hotel.

Headed to the cafe for lunch. Place was huge, with not many customers. Delicious food they served, with a big serving as well! My Honey Pie was up to his tricks again.

Was darn eager to start our activities! We went rifle shooting! Really cool, especially so for me since I have not held a rifle before. Shooting was peanuts to the boy as he used to be a marksman during his NS life. The adrenaline rush from firing the shots was woohoo! Bang bang bang! I shot down a couple of targets and was pretty impressed with myself. Lol!

After which, I went horse riding and elephant riding! Was such a pity that it rained while I was riding the elephant! Nevertheless, I went ahead with an umbrella and my elephant rider really took great care of me. It was truly a different experience riding the elephant in the rain!

By the time I finished the elephant ride, I was soaked. Went back to the hotel to change and the weather became sunny again! Changed into our swim gear and headed to the swimming pool for a dip! Followed by our shioky pie massage session in the evening!

We were treated like king and queen and had the whole garden to ourselves. Massage in the wild, after which we took a shower and rested in the lounge before we headed to the kelong for dinner!

Only took these pictures as I already started gobbling some of the dishes before I remembered that I forgot to take pictures!

By the time dinner ended, it was already 11.00pm. Headed back to the hotel to rest for the day and woke up for a sumptuous and hearty breakfast buffet the next day!

Before long, it was already time to check out and head back to Singapore. Although it was only a short 2D1N trip, I totally enjoyed it. Away from office, no phone calls, no mails. Carefreeeee!

Work has not been easy. Really feel so tired, vexed and bothered by some idiots that I feel like giving up at times. Have sent out my resumes and I am keeping my fingers crossed!

On a lighter note, will be going to NATAS to check out the packages with my Honey Pie tomorrow. That means...we are planning another trip again!
