1 Million children each year do not pass their 5th birthday. 40.3 Million people in the world are infected with Aids. Every 5 seconds of your life, a child dies. 1 Billion people do not have access to safe water which causes death. There is only 6 Billion people in the world.

These are totally preventable. Do you want CHANGE?

REPORT : TRIP TO BATAM!! (:

I just came back from Batam yesterday evening. So, this is my report!

Many people say that there is alot of prostitutes in Batam right? Actually i didnt see any la. Maybe they just come out at night? But i notice that they are really poor. Their houses and everything is hard to imagine.

DAY ONE! 10/6/2007

We woke up early and took a cab to HarbourFront centre where the ferry is. Then we had our MacDonald breakfast before we go to the ferry.

In the Ferry, near the window.

Paying alot of attention to the tv because they are showing emergancy exercises. LOL. How to use the life jacket, where is the emergancy exit and stuff. Feeling quite scared. We might sink and drown you know.

Halfway in the ferry, we decided to take a picture. No idea why we look so orangey pink, i think it's because of the sun?

Woohooo~ We finally arrive at Batam SAFELY. The boat kept bouncing so i was feeling quite giddy. Then the hotel guy came to fetch us to the hotel. HOLIDAY INN HOTEL (BATAM). I thought it will be long, but it's only a 2 minute ride la. -.-

The Lobby of the hotel. We reached there at about 12, but check in time is 2, so they gave us complimentary drinks at the Piano Lounge so we can wait for the time to pass.

View of the hotel in the Piano Lounge.

Then we finally checked in, our room number was 2406. My mummy's birthday number! :D The room is quite big. This is the living room part & the balcony.

This is the bedroom. (:

The toilet, where we do our bigs and smalls.

This is the view from the balcony. It's gorgeous la. I love it. As you can tell, everything is very beach resort like.

The after that we showered and went to call a cab to a place call Nagoya Hills. It's a shopping centre in the city. Takes about 45 minutes to get there. On the way they saw a school, UNIVERSITY OF BATAM. My mum said she want to send me there because it is cheap. -.-

We shopped then went to eat seafood. On the way back to the hotel, a guy popped out from nowhere and started playing his guitar outside the taxi, and even put his face to the glass and look at us! I freaked out. He wanted us to give him money. SHOCKED LA. Thought he is a robber or something.

In this entire part, i forgot to bring my camera. ):

DAY TWO! 11/6/2007

Woke up early just to go to the gym. -.- They say so they wont feel guilty because of over-eating. lol. So early how to do exercise? So i just walked on this thing. Just walking and walking.

something else in the gym. Nobody used this.

Then we went to have our hotel breakfast. (: Not guilty of over-eating at all. LOL. So yummy.

Then they went to the tea tree spa to do sauna. The hot air thing in the wood room.

I waited in the locker room, doing nothing. Cos i'm scared of sauna. Too hot. Like as if cooking me. -.- Read and doodled.

Then we went back to the room and washed up. Took a taxi and went to MEGA MALL- BATAM CENTRE this time for more shopping.

This is the food court. But you get a menu and people take food to you. So, why is it a food court?

We walked around the mall and shopped. Then head back to the hotel.

This is my darling donut, his name is Black Jack and taste so yummy!! You can never imagine the taste la. Unless you try it. lol. YUM.

We bought these donuts at the mall. This is the first box.

Second box, still full at the point of time when i took the picture. After about 10 minutes, it's all gone.

The brand of the Donuts. (:

Then we washed up and i sat at the balcony. Cos the room is too cold. lol. Starting to freeze so i went out. Took this night view picture. Very beautiful.

Also night view. But this one too dark. Only can see the lights.

We went to have dinner at the hotel's sushi restaurant.

Really tasty. I had Tempura Udon. :D

Went walking around the lobby and i took the picture of the whole hotel. lol.

We went back to our room, watched teev and slept.

DAY THREE! 12/6/2007

The hotel is nice but outside the hotel, it's a big patch of land of nothing. I can see it from the corridor of the hotel. Looks like desert.

Then we went to have breakfast. This time it was raining heavily. Then i saw this super cute ang moh shuai ge. LOL. His eyes are so damn nice. Then i started laughing to myself. lol. My mum even wanted to help me to ask his name. -.- I declined her offer. aw. the eyes.

We took a taxi to the MEGA MALL again because our ferry terminal is right next to it. We're going from a different terminal from where we arrived. Then we went to the donut shop to drink caramel and eat sugar donuts!! :D

We went to wait for out ferry at the terminal. My ferry ticket. (:

Inside. It was a bigger ferry than the one i took from singapore.

Window. So i hope it might be a little bit more stable.

Another picture again. This time we have to cover one eye. lol.

My notebook where i write down everything about Batam so i can remember to blog about it. I have a poor mermory. lol.

Drew this on my sis's hand with a permanant marker. lol. she didnt mind. I used a palate kind of thing.

Then drew this on my notebook.

I was super bladder urgent. But i dont want to go use the ferry toilet. Cos at any time, there are many uncles queuing there and it's unisex. eeeeee. What if they got bad aiming how? So i rather not use.

Hold my pee until i get down the boat. I think it almost burst. lol. Was super urgent and running to the toilet like mad.

So took a cab and went back home. Feeling quite sick since yesterday. lol. Keep feeling giddy and tired. And now, my chair seems to be shaking. lol. Funny feeling.

BYEBYE!
