❥ ♡ ❤ ❥ ♥ ♡ ❥ : The 3D experience!
What hopeful faces we have before our nightmare begins!
Our Batam experience was none other than... the 3Ds,
DELUDED.
DISAPPOINTING.
DISASTROUS.
Those blogs and forums that recommended the 1-day-itinerary in Batam ought to be shot. To hell with avocado milkshake, A&W and Nagoya Hill Shopping Mall. We spent SGD 80 on 2 return ferry tickets and 45-60min ferry ride later, we found ourselves desperate to leave.
The miserably-sized chicken from A&W was soggy and the curly fries were cold. The Root Beer Float was additionally charged as Root Beer + another surcharge for 'upsizing' to a Float, despite the enticing photo of a Set Meal which includes chicken, curly fries and the root beer float.
Avocado milkshake. Each of us had a sip and off to the rubbish bin it goes.
A construction-in-progress opposite Nagoya Hills. I cant make out what is it going to be.
A carpark? Another mega mall? I foresee the huge structure's gonna be a wasted investment again.
The mega Nagoya Hill mall had absolutely n-o-t-h-i-n-g worth shopping for. Yes you heard me, MEGA MALL. Yes I repeat, N-O-T-H-I-N-G. Well, if you are a fan of pasar-malam fashion and POLO imitations (or 'authentic rejects' if you wish to live in denial), I guess you'll find yourself in heaven.
We gave up on the idea of a seafood dinner because we have no idea how to survive the hours before dusk. No thanks, no more Batam for us, not even the resorts!
Our Batam experience: one photo sums it all! HAHA!
HAHAHA!! This photo always crack me up!
It felt really good to be back on the Singapore shores and even better when we stepped foot on Sentosa that evening. What an island-hopping experience!
Singapore-Batam-Singapore-Sentosa!
MAD CULTURE SHOCK. =D
We were just in time for a dinner at Coastes while watching the gorgeous sunset!
Coincidentally, birthdays at Coastes always bring me great memories.
It was Yach last august, and now, the boyfriend and a beautiful sunset!
Awesome scenery, great company and good+affordable food by the beach.
I ♥ Coastes!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! HELP!! MOLESTER!! HELP!!
Thank goodness beloved Sentosa saved the day! The beach walk after dinner marked the end of our long illogical weekend from 20-22 Aug! Initially I thought it was illogical because there was going to be an overseas getaway i.e. BATAM and yet a night's stay in a local hotel. You get my cheap-thrill contradiction? -__-"" HAHAHA!

After we checked out of The Club,
its time for my favourite Dim Joy at Neil Road,
and a highly anticipated play later in the evening!
We were just idling around and
taking silly photos of everything pretty
after the satisfied lunch!
There is so much going on in the vicinity that
we'd like to capture with our lens.

This pretty swing is hung on the facade of Red Dot Design Museum!
a seemingly juxtaposed one-point perspective of
the distinctive green trees and red dot museum

David's self-proclaimed award-winning shot. HAHAHA!

Boeing Boeing, the longest running comedy in the history of French theatre and London's West End, was the second theatrical production we attended after The Necessary Stage's _Can Change. Directed by Glen Goei from the acclaimed Wild Rice theatre company, the play revolved around architect Bernard and his three air stewardess girlfriends who doesn't know of each others' existence.
David's favourite was Junko, from JAL but I love Jelly, the stewardess from Cathay Pacific! The play was hilarious especially with the exaggerated japanese, cantonese and singlish accents from the ladies. I find Adrian Pang's British/American/Singaporean accent quite disturbing at times.
While the play might appear to be a tasteless cultural joke when Janette, the SIA girl, kept emphasizing on her tai-tai desire to marry a rich husband, David and I were wondering if there was a tinge of sacarsm mocking at our SIA ladies. Overall, I think its a play worth watching, regardless if u are a theatre buff or not!

❥ ♡ ❤ ❥ ♥ ♡ ❥
The past week had been eventful!
I watched four great movies on DVDs,
had a luxurious one-night stay at a boutique hotel,
visited two islands and watched a movie and a play!
Here's The Club along Ann Siang Road,
its interior designed by Colin Seah's Ministry Of Design!
Instead of the usual door hangers, there is a round spinning board where you can spin to fill in the blank after the words, 'I need'.
Everything is in monochrome and kept to the very minimal, as you can see from the room's card key! No prints, no colour, nothing.
Even the toilet is so beautiful, isn't it? The elegant handheld shower head looks like a retro mic though!
We were so comfortable in the room that we decided to splurge on their room service. The food was above average with a decent serving, in particularly the tuna caesar salad, which was fantastic!
heehee. me and my happy toes ;)
Earlier in the day after we checked in, we went to my favourite boutique patisserie nearby the hotel to get a slice of their double pralines chocolate cake!
YUM YUM YUM YUM!
(hahaha, do you play BBQ Pro on ur iPhone? YUM YUM YUM YUM!)
We also went to Kki to get their japanese inspired cakes! Anyway, Kki is located inside Little Drӧm Store which I've mentioned here.
You gotta try their Chocolate-Banana, white choc, dark choc and cheese cakes!
We ended up gobbling 5 slices of delightful cakes (thanks to $#%@&*!)
that night and the next morning!
And that was ⅓ of my long weekend!
We have hundreds of pretty photos to share now!!
what else can i say but
"THANK YOU, MY BOYFRIEND"?
So, for the 1001th time,
♥ THANK YOU LAH! ♥
