Happy 2nd Year Anniversary To Me & My Lovely BabyBoy ♥

I've been waiting for this meaningful day for pretty long and I'm glad that we spent the day together. The day before, I was planning this "last minute trip" with babybaby at his place. It was considered as a "last minute trip" because we only booked the package one day before. Thanks goodness that the package was still available if not I would be so disappointed. This SGD$119/pax package consisted of 2D1N stay at Bintan Lagoon Resort Deluxe Room, 2-way ferry tickets from Singapore which is inclusive of the taxes & Fuel Subcharges, 2 ways land transfers between hotel & ferry terminal as well as breakfast buffet for 2 at Kopi-O. This package was pretty much affordable but when it comes to dining at any of their restaurants/cafes, you will probably spend a bomb there. As you stroll down, you would probably understand why I even say so. Well, we had our breakfast at Bedok MacDonald before heading off to Tarah Merah Ferry Terminal. Our departure time was around 2pm but we had to reach 1.5hours earlier. Upon reaching Bintan Ferry Terminal, we waited for the shuttle bus to bring us to Bintan Lagoon Resort. Anyway, Bintan's time was one hour behind Singapore's time. By the time we reached the resort, it was about time to check in and I love their deluxe room.

Taking a stroll down the resort, you would realize that it was shrouded in greenery, with the beach in just a couple of minutes’ walk away. Whenever you chance upon any of the staffs, they would greet you with their welcoming smiles. Besides that, you would probably see several polo ralph lauren stores. Basically, the prices fall within the same range except that they are having sales of 20-50% store wide discount. In the midst of exploring the resort, we started to feel famished and we patronized their 3 Degrees Signature Restaurant. Unfortunately, it was a totally disappointing start of our food hunting. Firstly, I felt that the prices of the food were pretty expensive. Secondly, I was pretty unsatisfied with the small servings because it wasn't filling at all. Nevertheless, the ambiance was great. After lunch, we literally spent half of our day at the pool. If you know me well enough, you would probably be wondering why I would even appear in the pool when I don't even know how to swim. That's because my babybaby was a potential lifeguard and I don't have to worry about drowning with him around. In other words, I feel safe whenever this boy is around with me. The pool was clean and you would see some Caucasians playing basketball in the pool.

That's our room (:

Rise and shine, the birds were chirping away and we started off our day with the breakfast buffet at Kopi-O restaurant. There was a wide variety of food choices ranging from Asian to western food for you to choose from. Those with a sweet tooth would probably find themselves at the pastries and snacks section. If you are seeking for sweet stuffs, you are in the right place because the food here was high in sugar content. Even their porridge was sweet; I love it but sadly, my boyfriend doesn't like it. We didn't waste our time as we would fill our plates with different kinds of food once we have cleared it. On a side note, this restaurant wasn't air conditioned but we could feel the cooling breeze as we were sitting near the window. Since the windows at the side were opened, you could see some hungry birds flying in the restaurant. Talking about hungry birds, we actually saw a bat flying past us when we were walking back to our room the night before. Don't be surprised to see all the dead/alive flies/ants here and there when you are strolling back to your rooms.
