I just came back from Bintan yesterday.. and mann did i have a terrific time there or wat!
But first, pictures from my b'day surprise in the office last week..
My delicious cake..
Blowing the candles..
They gave me a pair of Aldo shoes that i've been eyeing but always thot it was too expensive to actually buy it.. :P
It was also Syu's last day that day so we presented her with a gift too..
A Guess wallet..
The team with some new members..
More pics from that day here.
Now back to the Bintan trip.. It was a short 2 days/1 night trip but it didn't seem that short coz we did plenty of activities. Did i mention i thoroughly enjoyed myself?
I even got a b'day gift from them! A pair of earrings and a bag which came to be very useful during the trip..
We stayed at the Mana Mana Beach Resort and it was no high class resort but it was comfortable enuf... Each room resembling a Kampung house..
We spent most of our time on the beach.. and in the water..
On the first day itself, we managed a few activities..
Like Archery... It's not as easy as it looks... a lot of strain on the shoulder and arms..
And banana boat.... which turned out to be soo thrillingly fun... Definitely got our adrenalin pumping. 5 of us on it, being pulled by a speed boat... Me and Sani was right at the back.. and that turned out to be the scariest position coz if u didn't hold on tight, u cld be flung off. Sani fell into the water once.. i almost did too but managed to hold on.
The next day saw us doing JetSki!! I've always wanted to JetSki but never had the chance to! And now i finally did it and mannn do i lurve it or wat!!
Our last activity for the trip was a massage at the Kedaton Spa located at the Mayang Sari Resort... which was soo relaxing i fell asleep during the massage... :P It was also a good time for the massage coz our bodies were aching from all the activities..
We all had a wonderful time there. The food was darn expensive though. Nasi Lemak costs a freaking SGD$8! Imagine that.. things there are not cheap coz they mostly use US/SGD currency.. but once in awhile, it's not bad for a holiday..
We had trouble going back to werk today and I decided to take leave since i had to clear 4 days leave anyways. haha My body is still aching all over... but it was worth it.. :)
