First ever Bintan trip!

If you would say what is the best oversea vacation, i would say this kind of relaxing, free and easy resort stay is the best. This trip was a impromptu decision between both of us, as we felt that we shouldn't go with the traditional mindset of dating and just, let live, laugh and enjoy. Booked our gateway from Groupon and it all starts from there. It was a fabulous 2day1night thought it would be better if we are given more days to play there. Nevertheless, I am contented enough because nothing beats having a staycation with your love one.

So the first day was pretty easy, reached Bintan and was sent to message first. Message was not really great as she was rather tough with cracking my knuckles and finger bones. It really hurts...... to think of it. Both our neck got twisted and I had a terrible phobia now whenever people wants to touch my neck area with both hands.


Pardon for this photo cause i totally look funny haha.


Rented a motobicycle for our adventure!!! It was super worth it cause we rented it for $10/hour although the hotel staffs admitted that they only paid $5 for moto-oil and they can earn $5SGD per hour. That's alot considering in Bintan.... however, dear lost his wallet and we are both devastated for a moment. But we are quick to recover and continue our tiny adventure haha...


The wind blew my hair and everything starts to fly................


So in this area nearby there's this spa resort with all the facilities such as outdoor spa. However, it's SUPER DIRTY. The water is rather cloudy and filled with beach sand. Was contemplating to enter the pool but decided not to after looking at the water. HAHAHA


Being really sociable us, we went to say hello to the kids who waved happily at us. The moment is indescribable because they are just so innocent playing around the fields while their grandparents worked. Mom washing the clothes and the whole family just gathered together and play!!!

They are rather shy when we approached them but then slowly they started to open out after we left their home. Definitely a great experience interacting with the villages and looking at kids being contented with what they have.


Dear was trying to take photo with the granny and the kids so happy!!!


Having my OOTD shot at the highway as mandatory.


Dear's shot on the highway as well.


Trying to flip hair as usual but failed terribly.


Found this casual restaurant beside the kellong (those hubs that fisherman build for their family) and i think the place is wayyyyyy too romantic!!!!!!! Ate salted egg crab with never-ending big plate kang kong with our rice. Ate there till 7plus and my horror began.


HAD TO WALK BACK TO THE RESORT OURSELVES IN DARKNESS.

Honestly, the place back then was so dark that i was holding so tightly to dear's hands all the time. It was really scary because you wouldn't know when somebody will just grab you from behind and kidnap you away.

Day 2 woke up and went to rent our motobikes again. This time we went to kelong itself to explore! It was really a great experience because the tides are low and you can literally see fishes swimming around. The tides are so low that you probably can walk till the half of the beach itself. (No joke)

Was looking around the sand and something caught my eye.


IT WAS A CAT. Ok kidding, obviously not. But the kittens there are really tiny and light....


It was the seashells. The seashells there too gorgeous. Was feeling tempted to go down the water just to claim the shells but my boyfriend volunteered!! #bestboyfriendaward. It was a reluctant affair as i was so worried that the tides might come like tsunami.. you never know cause it's really scary to see them in movies.

But nevertheless, i was so happy when he got not 1, but 7 of them!!!!

We went back to the hotel, get changed to rent our bikes again to the small island in the picture below. Can you see it? it was amazing because i never thought i could walk there all by ourselves!!! The tides that day really shallow and the water barely reach my legs, only feet.

Took off our slippers and started walking. It was then I realize we shouldnt because there are sharp edges/pricks that might hurt our legs.


By then the sun already scotched my face and..... i was sunburned. :( Decided to take some pictures by the beach since it's so pretty but something misfortune happened. Dear slipped while attempt to catch me when i fall. Felt really guilty cause he had to stitch his leg and had to walked back bare foot with the deep cut.

Everyone is so worried except for that hero who thinks that he's fine >:(



Really love this shot of us! :)



That's the hotel we stayed during our vacation.



The really yummy Ayam Peyang.


FYI- We both first attempt in riding motorcycle and it was dear's attempt in fetching me around. If my parents found out such dangerous act i'm dead...............


Swimming pool while enjoying the magnificent view in the morning.




The resorts we are staying.$158 plus taxes and everything for the whole package. Worth it! Massage+ private car + ferry tickets + hotel + lunch.


Really adorable......


That's all folks. Hope to go there someday again, really a great experience to be in.
