1Day Batam tour

Organised an 1 full day tour to Batam island for the 3rd year students. Actually it was meant for the students from p5 (those studying in school and just completed their exams). Then during the Krabi briefing, there were quite afew frpm pbp p6 ppl also interested and asked if they can join. I personnally feels that to allow students from both programs to mingle is excellent so i ask those who wanted to join to commit themselves fast n accepted the booking.

In the end a total of 30 students signed up from both sides plus Christof/Allen + wife + Sonny + myself...35 pax!! nice big group!! thanks for the support- fun seekers!!

Morning we need to set off by 9am and this is really a challenge for me. Bukit Timah / Clementi is rather jammy at that time. Then when the traffic is finally clear when I ram up the elevated road in West cost...only to realise i can see habourfront but no way to drop off...until I reach marina south!!

In the end we (Christof/myself) have a really good tour of the IR sites and finally rached n park at habour front at 8.45am....really close shave.

Good to see students has already arrived and happily chatting away. Boarded and sail to Batam without proble...but then YY have some difficulty clearing custom. Wasted 30mins to wait for the right time to settle the problem finally. Next time smile n be quiet n dun wear slipper n singlet when go batam ok?


1st stop : Go-cart!! Many tried and have fun...some are more dangerous than the others. Student S if you are reading this...you will be glad to know that u are no longer the most dangerous driver anymore, this semster, student PP dethrone you!! (See video attached).

As promised we do racing among afew good ones...only manage to overtake JL (he claimed his cart was super slow...I claim mine is the same too). YO!! JL- you still have not pose the agreed pose with me hor!!! The rest of the lucky 4 with faster cart (Landy/Aug/WS/YY) - they ride for free. :(

In the afternoon after a simple lunch we visit the watersports centre. There is cable ski / parasailing / banana boat and side activities like pool, mokey feeding and tooth pick poker available.

It also started drizzling too, so that put off many's slightest idea of joining the water sports. I did a round of rather slow banana boat. Also play some poker and win some tooth picks. wanted to try parasailing but we are rush for time so have to move on for 3rd item - Shopping!!

On the way to the shopping centre, we are offered to try the traditional Indo massage. Thought there should be afew takers...but in the end all opt for the massage instead of the macho 6 guys. Surprise to see so many want to realx rather to shop till drop.

It was the cheapest massage for sure...plus the most entertaining and noisiest!!! Many of the students are trying for the 1st time, and they can't hide their excitement along the open corridor and broadcast their every move to everybody in the whole floor.

“我脱了上面了，喂喂， 你脱到哪里了？？“
“我脱到下面， 喂喂， 你脱完了没有？？“
“EEEEEEEEEE...I dun want to be naked in front of stanger!!"
“喂喂，我包上面了，你包了没有？？“
“喂喂，你包上面还是下面？？“
“Hello hello...I here got wound, pain pain..AHHHH ...ouch!! ouch!!"
"hello, I here very sensitive...hahahahahha...very very itchy lah...ahhahahah"


and it goes on and on...wanted to pretend didn't listen also cannot.....
got live entertainment when massage actaully cannot complaint lah. where to find?

Then my insider just told me Student H make funny noises throughout the session....AH AH AH AH AH AH.....

Then also Student W refuse to take off clothing....I'll let u imagine what happen throughout the 90 mins...i think he plays charade w the massage girl.

In the end I guess It was a very fun and enjoyable outing. 8am-8am full day of outing together and there is various acttivities to make everyone involved and active. Only if the cart quality can be better...that will be really a perfect spot for regular visits.

Hope u have as much fun reading this entry as i am writing n recalling the fun myself. :)
