Indonesia Trip (Batam Island)
The Ba-re-lang Bridge
Another view
Starting dance
Indonesia's lion dance, in my opinion, haha
Using his teeth to peel off the coconut shell
Trying to get a piece of charcoal to put it into his mouth
Too slow, he already jump through it
Cuttlefish with sort of like spike thing
Converse slipper?
Monday went to Indonesia, went to their Batam Island. Was very tired, slept at 03 30 and woke up at 05 00. Take taxi down to Harbour Front Centre to meet up with the others. I skip school, haha.
Reach Harbour Front Centre and waited for the ferry and boarded it. Reach Batam Island at about 10am.
1st stop we went to the Buddha Temple. There are 3 altar, each of them have at least a huge stattuees inside.
2nd stop we went to the Ba-re-lang Bridge, which is their landmark. Those who went to Paris must go to the Eiffel Tower if not it is counted as you had not been to Paris before, same goes to going to Batam Island not going to the Barelang Bridge.
3rd stop we went to watch their local show, but i think it was more like a acrobatic performance. The 1st 2 was their local show, but after that was not. They used their teeth to peel off the coconut shell. Light up the charcoal and and put it in their mouth. Jump through the fire ring. Lastly, they crack the glasses and chew it.
It was lunch time, we went opposite to had our lunch, the Gloden Prawn Restaurant (555). Lunch time over head for the next stop.
4th stop we went to the Polo clothing shop. Those who don't know, the logo is a man riding a horse holding a club stick. Went there to get some clothing, but i didn't bought any, compare to Singapore the price was much more cheaper.
There was very funny part, a few man were outside the shop selling the mango and they ask us to buy from them, but we didn't want to buy from them. We went up to the bus 1st to wait for the others who were queueing up.
The man was holding the mango follow us to the bus door and still asking us to buy. He keep on saying, " ok larh, lelong, lelong, 4 for $6." then we still didn't say anything. After a while he say again, "ok larh, lelong, lelong, 2 for $3.", I was thinking wasn't it the same as 4 for $6, haha. I think the guy was like not happy cursing.
Okay so the 5th stop we went to a shopping mall, Nagoya mall. Went there shop around for 1 and 1/2 hour, in the end only bought a wallet and a 3/4 pants. After a long day it was time to relax.
So 6th stop we went to a hotel to had a full body massage. The massage cost us $32 each, from head to toe,1 and 1/2 hour, not bad. At the beginning it was a little bit weird, a stranger touching your body, like get rape, haha, slowly get to relax. Eventhough some of the parts they use too much force making me quite painful, but i got to admit that in the end my body muscle become very relax.
The time now is 6 plus time for dinner, went to the same place that we had our lunch but beside it. The restaurant have the same name but different number behind. The 1st one is 555 this one is 933. After our dinner it was tme to go home.
7th and the last stop we went to the mega mall, still have some time so we go there shop a while, only my brother and I. I went to a shop and get a pair of converse slipper? It took us 15 minutes and it was time for us to go to the pier.
Board the ferry at 8.45pm, reached Singapore at 11pm, and reached home at 12pm. Feeling very tired but stay up till 3.45am to post but i fall asleep. Forgot to save all the things that i write all gone so I post again today. Thats all.
i know that i have loved you ... at 9:42 PM
