Batam Getaway

What a trip!

9 of us set off for a 3days, 2night getaway to Batam and it turned out to be a blast. It was our first ever attempt at organizing a class getaway and even though 9 responded this time round, I still felt that this trip was a quality one. At the end of the day its not about the numbers but rather the quality of the company and friendship we get through it all.

We each spent about $300 for the trip but considering the fun we had, the food we indulged in and the adventures we splurged on, the cost was reasonably reasonable! Here's a breakdown of what we did during the trip:

1. Adventure package of:

- parasailing

- jet-skiiing

- banana boating

2. Seafood dinner (2 nights)

- black pepper and steamed crabs

- nestum prawn

- garlic fried chicken

3. Cable Skiing (8hours - abt $40)

4. KTVing (1hr)

Personally, it was a cool time. Just being able to go on a short getaway and do some of the water sports that I won't do in Singapore because its just so expensive! So I just played to my heart's content. Sigh...didn't manage to stand and get my balance on the ski thingy but the experience was awesome! I will be able to do it the next time I try it again. For sure. :)

Anyhow, I do hope there would be more of such outings/trips. Afterall, we only have 2 yrs, rather 1.5yrs left together and we should really make the best of our time together before we head out into schools, where we will find it harder to meet up and play games, chit chat and chill together. Enjoy the good times while it last peeps!
