Batam Diaries Part II

Here it is ... Batam Part II. I was so not looking forward to this trip considering the hotel fiasco the other time. Moreover this was a working trip (the legitimate kind!! What are you all thinking?!) so BORING!! But I must say that I was pleasantly surprised! The hotel was not up to the standards of some (I overheard some grumblings) but to me .. it was FANTASTIC! Don't believe me .. take a look at the pics. We had a pool view from the meeting room aka torture chamber, it's located at the top left hand corner of the picture, the one with the blinds. And most memorable of all was that we were entertained by no other than the hunks from Il Divo!! No, they did not have a concert in Batam especially for us, we watched their VCD and most of the ladies were drooling by the end of one song. More, more!! Me no understand what you singing but me don't mind watching!!

The great thing about our room was that it opens out to the garden. Pretty right .. I took the pics above and below from our patio.

And what's a stay in a hotel without ordering room service right?? We had pizza and fruit. The pizza had a nice thin and crispy crust. Even the fruit was delicious and this coming from a person who hardly eats any fruits. We also went for a spa treatment. Oh what bliss, the masseuse was tiny but her hands were like steel. First they washed your feet in some aromatheraphy water then you get to lie down for the rest of the hour while she massages your body. It was great. By the time she finished, I was so reluctant to get off the bed and I felt so floaty and dreamy! Next time I will definitely try the spa package and let them pamper me for 3 whole hours!!

So my time in Batam this time was not totally wasted. Madam L was talking about coming back during the Sept hols. I'll join you babe! Anyone else out there want to make it a great big happy family of friends outing??
