The Bintan Escapade

We're back from Bintan, burnt like bright red lobsters! This short get-away has been perfect, much needed for us to recharge and spend some real quality time together, with just us in the bubble for that few days. No work, no Internet to distract either of us.

Suffered major embarrassment on the way there though, where I got so sick from the ferry ride, that I puked my entire lunch of mee siam back out. Haha, sorry for that. But it was a really, really horrible journey there. The waters were so choppy due to the monsoon period, and when I heard the people around me started puking, I followed suit.

Damn gross, damn loser of me. I do get sea sick, but I think this was the first time that I threw up. When the captain said thank you and hoped that we had enjoyed the ride, one guy could only point his middle finger in response.

The Floral Suite was pretty nice, though I was kinda all psyched up for the Banyan Tree experience, given that Banyan Tree was our first choice. I guess being next to the beach does speed up the wear and tear quite a bit. Overall, it was a spacious suite with a very lovely, private sun deck where we spent a lot of time lazing on.




Only managed to get a little bit of suntan when we were lazing by the pool and walking on the beach yesterday. But in the end, it was not too little, judging by how red we turned out.

I realise that my skin condition has changed ever since I started developing eczema - in the past, I would turn brown, never patchy red (with white spots) like this. I suspect that the eczema has caused my skin to turn so red and itchy.

Looks like I can't have a healthy skin colour as long as I still have eczema. Looks like I'm destined to be white forever. =p


The Boy enjoyed himself so much, doing nothing, that he's now eager to plan the next few trips to neighbouring resorts. He says it's the best type of holiday, cos "got no shopping". -_-

Meanwhile, here's a snapshot of the Jemej Bintan Escapade!
