stayed at The Hills which is only a two-minute walk to Nagoya Hills, the biggest shopping mall in the area (or batam itself, i'm not too sure). stayed there the previous time, had no complains, found it extremely convenient, and with a 30% discount now, we obviously went back there. Like a true Singaporean, i found 2 things to complain about now. the bed wasnt very comfy and the breakfast wasnt great, however the room is simple (good enough for 1 night) with free wifi, tv had many channels (as long as they have soccer its good), and most importantly, they had a hairdryer whoooo. so, if you're looking for a reasonably-priced place to stay which is conveniently located in the middle of spas/massage palours, you can try out The Hills. havent tried other hotels since this is only my second time visiting batam. will definitely be back there for more short overnight trips and cable-skiing (because baby like).
when we reached the hotel, i realised we were right beside one of the top and highly recommended massage parlours - the spa secret and indothai. definitely had to give it a shot even though it was $10 more expensive than the usual massage prices. $32 for my aromatheraphy massage and $22 for babe's mixed massage.
honestly, am still not used to massages so i found it ticklish and painful ): didn't exactly enjoy enjoy it. in fact, i felt sore after the massage and i dont know why. dont understand how he could fall asleep. ah wells.
was planning to go for a pedi as well but decided to give it a miss and go for $3 movie instead. 50,000Rp for two persons. that was my guess. for ONE person. hahah. movie was good, screen was big and clear, cinema wasnt crowded, ticket was cheap. what more could we ask for? oh. that they let us bring food in to the cinema instead of putting it into the locker.
had an early night to wake up for an early brekkie before wakeboarding. was hoping to go one round on the wakeboard but didnt manage to. was very frustrated that i faceplanted so many times. i still think i have a concussion and that my stomach and intestines have exchanged places. dont know if i want to go back there again to get more innards rearrangement. as much as i want to master it, i wish i were more skilled in this so it's not so painful a process to go through. ):
succeeded in going one round on the kneeboard but that wasnt even challenging. what was awesome was riding with babe on his wakeboard and catching a whole video of it. loved it. he's so awesome heehee. he managed to land after an obstacle too! so proud of you, dear! muackssss
now, 1.5h of sleep before brazil vs mexico. (:
