Holidaying In - Holiday Inn

Yeah! We went to Holiday Inn Batam for a short break. It was fantastic! The company was great! Food was great! Rooms were great! Here's a list of what fun stuff

1) Played tennis! the court was nice, cleverly blocked from the sun
2) Tea Tree Spa! It was gorgeous. There is this huge jacuzzi right inside the spa. We brought choya and chatted and chilled out! the ambience was superdamn!Balinese decor, nice music in the background and in the evening they had romantic lights all over. we did a couple package in this lovely hut like thing. massage, javanese lulur, body mask, eastern massage, foot reflex and a nice cup of warm ginger tea after. the masseurs were polite and professional (as can be by their standards). The open air hut had attached bath and a tub! so romantic!

3) upgraded room! we got the 2 bedroom with a cosy living room and dining table. so coole! 2 bathrooms! it was nice!

4) Buffet in the hotel: Food was good! Nasi Goreng istimewa, comes with satay, ayam goreng, sambal etc.... Pasta and Rotisserie buffet, lovely lamb racks. INdonesian food made by the experts

5)walk to Harris: food there was good and cheap too! the place is full to happy orange people. we went to check out the cable ski which we decided not to do.... hahahaha....

6)pool:lovely freeform pool with jacuzzi and water sprouts, even a slide too! so nice

7) Number drinking game party: it was fun, a bo liao game but good for a party of 9. Baileys, choya, red wine, Bintang beer. overwork the liver a bit. good thing i had ss. hahahahaha

8) Cable TV! so many channels!

9)Shopping at Matahari, so cheap!
