5 Days Getaway

I am a piece of dark choco. 100%. 

After 2 days of sunbathing and water sports in Bintan Island, we both suffered from serious sunburn, skin peeling and muscular aches, damn...BUT, we had so much fun, so it worths!
I had my first time snorkelling and wake-boarding on a "way-too-sunny" day (that's how i get burn, haha) over a wide scenic ocean, it was just great and refreshing.

Snorkelling is fun, i saw beautiful sea corals and tropical fishes swimming around me. I swam as fast as a shark with my flippers on!! wakaka, i felt so great to swim so quick, it's fun :P
Wake-boarding. Not easy. I kept falling, falling, falling and falling down. I could hardly hold a second standing on the board...all i did was just crashing onto the sea over and over again, and at the moment i was thinking "oh fuck, the water is so salty, and the strong sunlight is blocking my sight, shit! Where am i? Where is the wakeboard rope? oh god xxx"
And Bennett, he was doing good, at least he could stand up straight and ski for a few second, yes, few second, maybe 5.
well...it was a nice try anyway. "You did very well already!" said Amy. Oh, that's really encouraging, thanks.

Beside sunshine beaches in Bintan, we did some sightseeing in Singapore too. Highlights include the newly-opened Universal Studio in Sentosa, the vibrant Chinatown, colonial landmarks, Orchard Road, Little India, the iconic Merlion, and Clarke Quay. Yea, i like Clarke, situated along Singapore River, it's a colourful kaleidoscope of restaurants, outdoor wine bars and entertainment spots. We sat alongside the river and had a nice beer moment, cheers bros!

Whatsmore, we did have gourmet cuisine like famous Hainanese chicken rice, Chili Crab, Laksa, Satay...and, the well-known "Krupuk" (Indonesian prawn crackers!) yummy yummy!

That's what we did in our pre-summer vacation, a nice one, a relax one.
Thanks brother, Amy and Ben, we did have a good time! :)
