Trap on an Island...

Decided to stay clear of the supposingly loving street...
Its more like a competition out there...
Every couple dressing to the occasion and glazing around to see which lucky girl is carrying the biggest bouquet of flowers....

So is love just about a big bouquet of flowers and some fancy restaurant???

Decided to live out of it...
Was kinda last min thingy plus the fact was extremely busy with presentation...
Somehow luck was on my side...
Manage to book eveything in discounted rate even on such peak period...


Everything was pretty much in tact...
Was shaking throughout the presentation...
But all went well...
Got Gold for it and off days too...

Rushed back to do some last minute packing and we are off...
45mins ferry ride isnt long at all...

1st time on Bintan!!!



The resort was pretty isolated from the outside...
Goodbye to the bustling and nosy streets...
Once footed on the resort, we were greated by a tradional dance...
There seems to be a AW to everything...

Nice Bali setting, massages by the sea, clear blue sea and of cos the PRICES...



Everything was overly commercialized...
Even more $$$ than those in SG...



There wasn't much to shop except chains of Polo Ralph Lauren...
Real or Counterfeit...
Its up to your eyes to decrypt...

Bandung Factory Outlet, the only place that sells in Rupiah...



And Pasar Oleh Oleh...
Pretty most for dining and grocery...
Thats about everything they have there...



Goofing around the serene and beautiful golf course...
One of the sports which i yet to master...


Anyway being a total noob...
We just hang around the golf course...
Watching time pass...


And of course, being in an island...
What most people did, was to have your sunglasses on with a nice magazine and a cool cocktail by your side...

But sun was not on our side as my tanning session was shortfall...
Nevertheless, a total detoxification for your mind with the nice sea breeze blowing pass your face and messing your hair up...


Capped the trip with a sumptuous feast and "live band" by your side...
A nice short getaway but maybe my first and last time there...
