BINTAN TRIP ohseven.

OVERALL REVIEW by BELLAgirl-

hahas,looks like i'm the last to post :x

juz finished watching a series of shows..

Before Trip preparation:
we went to carrefour at plaza sing to shop for the various groceries. It takes planning okayy.i can still rmb we did the first Bintan trip grocery planning at Far East, in one of the restarants/eatery.KJ was busy plying with his PSP and sis not even give any comments-.- It was mummy's b'day.opps.*I forgot how old she is* hahas. she'll forever be my 'sister'.I dun have to know her age. hahas.i'm used to hearing such comments.hahas:)mummy muz be very proud:D i'm proud too!
We need to do last minute shopping for the stuffs because some fresh ingredients can't be kept for long. VG kept reminding me to get the list for our last min shopping done.hahas:) i DID it.with the help of my thrifty brother(kept nagging and saying that the ingredients were enough and that VG was too ambitous to finish FOUR loaves of bread.my brother suggested 2.hahas.but we bought an additional loaf.RAISIN. coz it was my mother's favourite. (anw. VG kept telling me not to finish all the raisin bread on the second day of the trip -.- hahas.in the end still have leftovers-.-''' very diaos rite.And the very last min when I was going back into the car with mummy after buying those fresh ingredients, I realised that i didn't buy the most important thing. MY SPAGHETTI SAUCE!!
oh my gosh luhhs.I'm cooking the dish and i totally forgot to buy the MAIN ingredient.hahas:) so i went back to get it. AND i remembered to inform mummy that my hp. was totally flat.so she would not get worried while waiting in the car.hahas:) I bought the spaghetti sauce with the help of a very friendly and helpful NTUC staff.(coz i couldn't get the sauce that i wanted.they only had the spaghetti sauce in glass bottles and not the usual canned ones.she even helped me check with a senior staff luhhs.) she kept calling me baby and dear.she was like:"yes baby, trust me.this brand is good." funny luhhs she.juz like my mum.everytime call ppl that.hahas:D
went back home to pack my LUGGAGE for the next day's departure.
*note that i use the word luggage and not bag.coz its really a LUGGAGE.super heavy* :p

okayys,enough of my long essay on the before trip preparations.hahas.i'm not even to the trip yet.hahas:D

-FIRST DAY-

hahas:) woke up at 9.00am in the morning coz i was not donw with packing.as usual.hahas.too many things to bring.And i already stayed up till 4:30am juz to try on and see what clothes i was going to bring and wear.hahas:) so its easier for it to get ready faster on the day itself, and would not waste everybody's time waiting for me get ready.those who know me. I'M ALWAYS LATE. much much apologies to ppl who had tried to wait and waited for me.hahas:)

we arrived at the departure hall.We were later than the time then we were supposed to reach.hahas.but the ferry did not leave yet.hahas. Jen jiejie,Jo and YeeChuan reached there earlier than us. coz they didn't had to carry the ingredients stuffs.hahas:)) Saw YeeChuan's dad at the ferry terminal also.hahas.first time seeing him.He's very funny.According to Jo, she laughed like mad in Yee Chuan's dad taxi.hahas.imagine Jo's unstoppable laughter.hahas.If i were his dad, I would have thrown her off.hahas:) noisy mad girl.hahas. When mummy asked who were to be responsible for the eggs, no one dared to take on.hahas:) I carried them last year luhhs. I VOLUNTEERED to carry the eggs but my mother didn't want me to carry them.hahas.coz i AM careless and butterfinger.hahas.

so the first person to carry the eggs is YEECHUAN.

hahas.Actually i suggested Jenjiejie to take the eggs.hahas.she seemed to be the most responsible person.hahas.dunno why.she juz gave me the impression.hahas.but she didn't wan to take on such a HUGE responsibility.hahas.she was afraid that she may break them.LOLS>.<

i can understand how she feels though..hahas.

then we had to fill in the imigration forms. At first only me and JO writing. then more ppl came to help.hahas.the rest went to help with the checking in of bags and stuffs.hahas:D

i filled in for myself then I'm used to ticking the gender: FEMALE.

when i was filling in for YeeChuan I accidentally ticked female for him too.hahas:D funny cann.anw i cancelled it.the immigration officers must be laughing at my blurrness.hahas:)

we didn't have to wait for the ferry.hahas.coz we were ON TIME.(for boarding)hahas:D the system changed.last year they had this 'ticketing officer' to tear our boarding passes.Now our boarding passes came in the form of a card,had our name and all our particulars imprinted on it.So we juz tap like an ez-link card and go. We actually wanted to take a photo of them de luhhs.But we didn't know they collected them so soon :x sad case.hahas:D nvms.i'm sure we'll get to take a photo of them next time:)

The ship was rocky. Could not have stepped into the ferry with the help of two strong men standing by the side.hahas:0 wun they lose their balance?pro lehs them.hahas:) that's why they were meant to help ppl to get on the ferry.hahas.especially ppl like ME.LOL:)

okayys.in the ferry. I sat beside the window.Beside me was jenjiejie,followed my MOJO girl.Then in front of us were jinsternoob and yeechuan. In front of them were VG and mummy.VG wanted her as far as possible from us so she could have a good rest(away from all the possible noises we could have made)A well deserved one.hahas:D coz she packed all the food. WITHOUT any help.pro-ness.hahas:)

we took quite a few pics.hahas:D i wanted to take a video of the video that was playing on the screen then VG kept sticking out his head and block my camera luhhs.hahas.He at first really didn't know.Then when I told him then he purposely come disturb me already.GRR~

hahas.then when VG was gone and i can finally take in peace, Yee Chuan's head was blocking.BUT the difference is that Yee Chuan really didn't know.hahas:)

the ferry took about 50 min to reach. An indian man behind was like having sudden snores...scary luhhs:) Jenjiejie and me looked at each other.We were wondering what weird noises.hahas:) then the indian man also quite inconsiderate.He stretched out his leg so long and below the metal arm rest which was juz beside me luhhs.I clearly remembered that his sock was greyish black in colour.hahas:D Thank God it did not stink.Or else the ferry trip would be UNBEARABLE.hahas.okayys.SO we reached there.light-hearted spirit. Probably because everybody did rest.(I didn't though)hahas.

we went to buy 2 packets of sour plum slices at a shop when we arrived at the ferry terminal at Bintan.hahas:D

We boarded the bus to our villa very quickly. Mummy was like telling me: "ehhs Bella, tell them where they could see giant lizards and gorillas." JO was like: HUH?! real ones arhs?" hahas.Actually wanted to bluff her.hahas.But i'm not a good liar.hahas:) IN the end I didn't see the huge models of animals also. coz i was not sitting at the window,hahas.Jo saw it.But she didn't tell us coz the bus was moving too fast.hahas:)

WE REACHED the villa.As usual, i'll be the one to ring that super loud bell.hahas.I like that bell:D how I wished that was doorbell was outside my house too.hahas;)

my mother then showed us the various rooms that we were gonna slp in for the next 3 nights.hahas.The first room, which was the nearest one after we climbed up the stairs, belonged to MOJOgirl and Jenjiejie.then the next room which has the single bed, is VG's.hahas:) then the room beside it, is YeeChuan's and Kj's room.Lastly, the MASTER BEDROOM.hahas:D Belongs to MUMMY and ME! woot~ if that room wasn't ours, I wonder where i'll have a big dressing mirror and a BIG cabinet to place my clothes.hahas:D so, i NEED that room.LOLS.

first day we didn't really do anything much,coz of the travelling and stuffs. I was looking forward to the dinner that was going to be prepared by MUMMY.hahas;0

tasting her cooking after around 8 or probably 9 years? hahas. I could only rmb her cooking the marcaroni soup with ikan bilis,hahas. i didn't like ikan bilis though.hahas.the message i was getting across is: it is rare that my mother cooked.hahas:D We played around with the buggy and drove it around the villa. The staff of the villa told us not to drive on the grass. coz they wanted to maintain it.hahas:) looking at the way we're driving the buggy.I'll pity the grass too.hahas:) somemore MOJO the TERROR driver(named by Jenjiejie) is like going to bang into anything she sees.hahas.she ALMOST killed the poor short tree that was trying to grow into a big,tall and strong tree.hahas;) hope it'll grow healthily:D hahas.I was like trying out my piaoyi.then jo kept complaining that i almost drove into the bush or fence.hahas:D but i like my piaoyi:D Jen jiejie was very confident with her driving skills.Time for her to show to the passangers.hahas;D then KJ drove like a SNAIL.i'm serious.hahas.okayy luhhs. But at least its SAFE.100%.hahas.its slow till i can say 100%.hahas.maybe he caught my father's virus.SAFETY 1st.hahas.then Yee Chuan's turn to drive.okayys.it was like no comments kinda thing.hahas:D he got go arcade play the racing car and Initial D de mahhs.hahas.so should not be a problem.hahas:) then VG and me went to rent the mahjiong set. One day $17 luhhs.so EX! hahas.The board games are FREE.but have to pay $20 for deposit.hahas.PER game.We borrowed the game BOGGLE.I first time play this game.hahas:D it was quite fun.but at the same time hard to pin point out the words.A test on our english skills:D yeahs.noobsterjin came up with some crazy words luhhs. dun even know what is it.he was juz writing it down in case there's such a word in the dictionary -.-'''. hahas.lame lorhs.

hahas.so dinner was served.First day DINNER:

-Rice(super sticky.looks like can stick on the wall that kind)hahas.but taste nice!

-Chinese Pizza (what my mum named it.hahas:D she said gua ma taught her how to do it.but she hasn't gotten all her skills.hahas.it was delicious:p yummy!)

-YongTauHu soup- I LOVE IT! hahas.

-LongBeans with shrimps.(no words mentioned. thumbs up!)

hahas, But everybody complained that the rice was very little.I didn't had a good time distributing the rice too okayy.hahas:D

after the dinner KJ did the washing,hahas:) then we swam.in the night.was shiok luhhs.the water supersuper cold.Me and JO were like shivering.hahas.only mummy and jenjiejie did not swim.coz mummy didn't wan to.And Jenjiejie,coz she had her M.hahas:D

then they were sososososososososo nice to make for us coffee and milo.hahas.VG even suggested steamboat.hahas.okayys, we juz wanted to get a little warmer ya?hahas.then i was talking abt truth or dare and ask everybody about their experiences of playing and stuff.hahas:D

then i could only rmb i lie on my bed and i was in lalaland.

-----END OF 1st Day-----

Yee Chuan's fried Bee Hoon.hahas:D the chef plus helpers are: Jenjiejie,Jo and YeeChuan.hahas:D It was nice! :) Yee Chuan was like very worried that it would not be nice.hahas:D But its was luhhs.He better not cook that for Anshao camp's breakfast.hahas.Or else i'll lose to him...hahas.jokin:p Mummy and I went around the villa to take pictures. hahas.on that day there was strong wind...hahas.I rmb that my hair was in a mess.there's a picture of it.hahas:D

Noob KJ always do his action half way and expect us to understand OMG lor!! How to understand?? Can't forget the La Me jo do the square box action to describe the Sponge box word.. why isn't there any pic of her doing that!! that's so funny..
i think all got a good laff at see our superb acting skills.. Esp when i did the TITANTIC action and the "you jump, i JUMP!!" action.. only YC understand what i was doing hahaha kj and bella never watch the show, that's why they don't even know that word.

Shino the never cook before for me de.. finally cooked this time!!! Her braised chicken, soup, cabbage with dongfen all very nice right~~ hahaha dun care u must cook every weekend!! How can say masak masak only must display ur skill at all times ma..

This trip, 3 of our ladies all wear bikinis!!! wah lau.. all grown up liao.. want to show whatever they never show before!! lol jk.. well they are growing everyday, and hopefully be more refined hor.. dun so chor lor.. if not hard to find bf wahahahaha..

well, we had mahjong, charade, swimming, cooking, eating.. and it's like a super relax holiday for us la.. if can, i will wanna go there every year despite we need to carry so much things.. but overall everyone enjoyed to the max la..

Bintan ooh-la-la!!! (Nov 29 - Dec 02, 2007)

so happy to have a chance to "haolian" my COOKING SKILLS during this trip .. haha! actually, i only like to "masak masak" with the food, not really someone who can cook! But if YAN CAN COOK, SO CAN I!!! lolzzz.. LA ME!

Yee Chuan's bee hoon was yummy..... Jen's mayonaisse egg sandwich tasted good and Bella's omelette was great toooooo ..... Well done kids! Jo's a great helper in the kitchen and for ONCE, was glad to see Jinster Noob washing the dishes~~~ yay!!!

am thankful also me this mother hen did not have many headaches with all 5 kids + ONE OVERGROWN BABY (you all know who horrr.. SSSSHHHH!) ALL considered pretty much well behaved.

enjoyed the charade too ... had soo much fun and laughter!

should also thank Uncle Vince for "babysitting" the kids, keeping them busy with games and activities so that i can concentrate on my "fun in the kitchen" ... hehe ....

the only worst thing that ever happened was the ferry ride to and from Bintan ... IT'S SUCH A TRAUMA .... wanna puke but dare not puke (to save embarrassment!) and the lousy feeling SUCKS BIG TIME! (duhz ... don't want to think about it or it will spoil my mood and appetite!)

Anyway, hope all of you enjoyed yourselves and thanks for the great fun and company! LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

hugssssssssss, gugu

P.S. Running short of time ... will post more pics next time round~~ cheers!
