Bintan!!
For this year's celebration, Raphel planned out a short Bintan getaway just for me. (Yes I had an extra celebration apart from the birthday cake he surprised me with!)
So there we are, on the ferry towards Bintan. I was quite afraid that I would get sea-sick like I sometimes do. Thankfully, it wasn't that bad, as I slept my time away (as usual).
We arrived earlier than the check-in time at Bintan Lagoon Resort. That's when we explored around the place, bum around, had a nice chat, as well as cam-whore just to kill time =D

After quite a long wait, we finally checked into our room! It's quite a nice and decent room, and the little rest corner right at the end is really comfortable! A nice place to chill out and relax...
Our room is also located on the 5th floor, hence giving us the chance to use the stairs as a form of work-out every time we return from the pool as the lift was too far away. Besides, the resort is 'infested' with quite a lot of lizards on their ceiling!! Every time we walk from the lift to our room, Raphel had to endure my 'screams' whenever we see lizards crawling around. (I am afraid of them falling onto me because I've encountered that twice!). Hence, to bypass all these, I prefer to take the stairs that is nearer to our room.
Anyway, back to the entry, throughout the time that we were there, we mainly bummed around at the deck chairs by the pool side, hoping that the sun will be kind enough to give us a tan. It was quite interesting to be by the pool side also, as one can people watch and observe many interesting happenings! =D
But as much as we were busy people watching, we did not forgett to capture a picture of us together =)
And, when you are in Bintan, how can you not explore the beach?? Having spent most time by the pool-side, we felt that we needed to at least explore the beach area. However, deciding to do that on the second day, which presented us with gloomy skies, it was quite a shame that we had no chance to spend more time there.
But as usual, that did not stop us from grabbing a last couple picture before we had to call it a day and make our way back to Sunnyland... And for all it's worth, it was a nice short trip, of which I am extremely grateful to Raphel for planning it all, and cracking his head so hard as my birthday coincides with all the F1 drama =)
