26 July
Weather: Raining
Mood: Disappointed

The weather was so off. "Will the weather be the same for the whole trip? There goes by watersports and sun!"
By the time, I board on ferry to Bintan, the rain became smaller but it seemed continuous though.
On the bus transfer to Angsana Resort, it was still drizzling.
But wonder came when we checked in. The rain has stopped but sun still hiding.
The room was cosy with a balcony. Nice!
Went for strolling at the beach, the beach was not that terrific and water was not that clear. Maybe the plan of snorkelling was not that wise and we saw people playing Jetski, wow, seemed so thrilling and exciting!
Ok, we shall do that on our second day.
Had a swim in that beautiful pool with jacuzzi. No sun but cold wind! *grrrrrr*
Night fell and went to Pasar Oleh Oleh, a small tiny shopping area to eat. The trip was short but cost S$3. Food was so so, a good thumb to the satay and calamari but fish tasted weird. Suddenly, felt weird in stomach. Oh shit! Is gastric, then i realised that we never had anything since morning breakfast. So went back quickly to room after a look at the night view over at resort.

27 July
Bright and clear morning! Had breakfast at Lotus cafe. Breakfast was great with variety of choice. I like the "a-la-carte egg". U could ask the chef to cook any type of egg u wan. Be it scrambled, fried, half-boiled, full-boiled!
The afternoon's Sun was good good, god was so kind to me!
went for an hr of canoeing, fun. Hey was my first time! Thankfully, I had a good teacher. Next suntanning at the poolside. Haha.. think i did get tan bit. Yes i did got tan!
Lunchtime, haha, prep meal in our room. Not terrific, just instant noodles and self made sandwich. Budget!
Next, was the best part. Jetski!! The drove was so thrilling. No strict rules of stopping on stop line, stop when red and yes no pedestrains. I can drive at the top speed and nobody cares. The bumping due to tides are sure a wheee wow great fun!!! Lucky we tried that!
Dinner was by the beach with yummy pan grilled pizza, ikan pepas and home-made ice cream dessert!! Yummy-my-licious!
Haiz, second day over, means the trip gg to end soon means back to sg and wait for school to start means stress coming.. so many meanings. shall not go on further. haha!!!

check out on 28 July
still early to our ferry departure time.
so we shall go and get our complimentary "welcome drink" lemongrass. Not too bad and ordered snacks to spend time till bus come to bring us to ferry terminal.
Dark cloud came, rain along the way. Lucky no activities today. arrive SG safely with a slightly tan skin. whahaha!!

no spa for me cos Annsana was damm steep rated at US$100 plus. The car driver told us there was another budget one over at the golf course during the ride back from Pasar Oleh Oleh. But too bad i dun know where exactly it was... and guess what! was only US$35.. such a difference! Nvm, if got chance to go there again, i shall try and yes maybe try out the snokelling trip.

The lucky us:
We are a last minute lot. Forgot to book 1hr advance for the trip to Pasar Oleh Oleh. Haiz, thot it will be end of us but lucky the PR helped us. And yes we got our trip.
Next was the Jetski: forgot to book again n the marine centre (where u rent the water sports equipment) was closing. But lucky the good guy gave us a chance to slot us in!! yippeee
But we are not so lucky on the 2nd night. We planned to have buffet but they only have that on weekend night. Too bad!! We thought they have it on everyday cos during the first night there, they did have. Haiz, after asking the waitress we then realised that the prev night one was opened due to overwhelming response form other guests. Nvm.

The People over there:
Nothing to complain but just a good thumb up. ever so welcoming, warm and polite. A*
