Bintan Trip day 2

After breakfast, we head to the beach for some sand play. Well, at least Kae was having fun.

After a while, Kerri decided she's had enough. And she came to join me to sit and stare while having some bread.

Oh and I forgot to mention this in my earlier post, Bintan Lagoon Resort went through a transformation and the hotel's deluxe and deluxe sea facing rooms are actually refurbished. But our corporate villa still looks the same and I assume each company is responsible for their own villa, hence refurbishment is under their sole discretion.

Our lunch was at the newly opened Rice, the newest addition to the resort, poised on a stretch of the beach. While the food is of standard, the price is also not cheap.

And we are off for our daily rest in the afternoon! Before heading to the pool.

Bintan Lagoon has 2 swimming areas. We went to the smaller one yesterday, so we thought we would head to the main swimming pool today. The main swimming pool is more crowded and we had to walk one round to get my deck chairs. Hah!

Bintan Trip Day 1

Dar threw in his application for a company Bintan Villa stay for fun and he got it! Which was quite unexpected because usually it is very very very hard to get. And so, we are off to Bintan for a last minute weekend stay!

This time round, we booked our ferry tickets through Journeyful.com and took the Mozaic Ferry Lines. This ferry will bring us directly to the ferry terminal owned by Bintan Lagoon. Previously, when heading to Bintan, we would book tickets under Bintan Resort Ferries and arrive at the main ferry terminal at Bintan (Bandar Bentan Telani) and from there we have to wait for transport to the various resorts we are going to.  So, can you imagine the amount of time saved from traveling? However, instead of the usual 45-540 minutes taken by the Bintan Resort Ferries, we took nearly 90 minutes to reach Bintan Lagoon Resort via Mozaic Ferry Lines. So this doesn't work well for me as I hate taking ferries!

A brief walk from the Bintan Lagoon Resort Ferry Terminal to the resort itself.

The villa hasn't changed one bit since we were last year in year 2007.

And we spent rest of the day (late afternoon) having fun in the pool. Well, at least my 3 water babies did. I dig my deck chair.

Project Open House 2013

For this year, the project theme for Kae's class is Sand. And so, we were treated to a feast of sand related art and craft work about sand!

2nd time at Tim Ho Wan

And so, Clarice and I went for our 2nd try at Tim Ho Wan. No queue again at 330pm for the 2 of us. Yum!

Eyelash extensions

I did something radical today. Okay, maybe not that big a change. It's more of an addition.

Eyelash extensions! The whole process was tedious! I mean lying down for about 1 hour is fine. The worst part of the whole process was the opening of the eyes after the glue has dried. I think my eyes are auper sensitive. But it took me another 20 minutes more to just open my eyes even though the glue has dried. You know the feeling of sand in your contact lenses touching your eyeball? Well that's the awful experience I've had while opening the eyes. 

I'm never doing this ever again! And by the way, I thought that I looked so much more matured and older with the extensions!

And this is what I look like when I wake up in the mornings now!

This is my without and with extensions comparision. Very different yah?

So what do you guys think. Yay or Nay?
