Alright, Pictures from the Batam Weekend. Uncle Teng's the designated photographer so I don't have any pictures of the man behind the camera.

Glenn and I at the check-in counter.

Our Family Villa! 2 bedrooms, with a small dining/kitchen area in between. The balcony (you can see part of it on the left) extends all the way from there.. to.. the.. right of the house :P

This is the view from the balconey. It was a rainy Saturday, as you can tell. In the distance... is Singapore. We were like 'what?! We took 45 minutes to travel here by boat and look it's so near!' I dared Glenn to row his own boat into the country to see if he gets picked up by the coast guard.


The boys had a good time looking at fishes swimming near the rocky beach (?) There were bright colored ones in the nearby lagoon. Glenn loved this bright blue spotted one. My favourite were the yellow tails. They swam in convoy. hee~ Pity we couldn't get a picture.


These are the beach front huts.. Though, technically, the spa huts are in between these and the ocean. The spa huts are LOVELY. They dangle out into the ocean in stilts. When you look down from the hut's balcony, it IS the ocean.

On our way to the spa..

We were allocated spa huts next to each other! 2 in each hut. You can't see in this picture, but there's a jaccuzzi right next to the balcony.. yes.. looking directly at the sea.. I imagine it must have been awkward for Glenn and Uncle Teng to share a jaccuzzi tub though. Glenn was pretty much 'I'm not sharing a tub with my dad!' but since the spa people provided nice batik shorts for the oh-so-modest men, it turned out alright. I got to wear a batik sarong too!

Well that's all I have for pictures.. of course.. if I was in charge, there'd be more pictures of the spa itself.. but oh wells.. No pictures of Melvin drooling in his sleep on the massage table then.
