Relax, Recharge 'n' Rejuvenate 1

Day 1

Part One

Blamer's Big Bro organised a Relax, Recharge 'n' Rejuvenate trip to Batam over the weekend.

We had breakfast at Mac at Habourfront.

Before we proceed to the cruise center to board our ferry.

Our trusty fleet -- Jet Raider

Yup that's Caihong's bros. Yen and Winston.

After nearly an hour, we set foot on Batam for our 2 days 1 night stay at... ...

Yup Yup good ol Harris Resort!

Our welcome drink. (remember the last time it was pink in colour)

Some cookies and a refreshing cool towel.

Fooling around while waiting to check in.

And in the the midst of everything, Winston and Yen were whipped off to do some welcome dance. I managed to escape by volunteering to be the camera man. Ha ha.

Got our hands on some handy maps which contains details of the activities we can do in the resort as well as the various shopping centres in the vicinity.

Took some more pics of the surroundings, pretty cosy little resort dun u think so?

Finally checking in on a non-smoking floor.

Our beds. Yes two single beds as Blamer complained I took up too much space on the bed : (

A couch by the corner.

The small but very clean bathroom

Couldn't resist going out into the balcony for some cam-whoring. Blamer looks like she's got a good hair day today.

After we have rested, it's time for our very first activity. Following one of the resort staffs to our first destination.

I got pretty good hair in this pic too : )

Know why Blamer is so happy in this pic?

Cos after quite a long walk, we finally arrived at our hunting ground.

First activity, archery!

Since all of us aren't robinhood, we shall practice with a coconut on the head instead (bigger target). Ha ha

Our instructor here trying to explain to us how to put on our gear.

Blamer all pumped up and ready to go!!!

Her first shot.

Focus... ...

Took a shot of Blamer's back view. More sei right?

But pattern sui sui only. No arrows on the board leh.

Next up is the ex sport sec of Blamer's hall, Yen.

His pose oso not bad, and he got onto the score board though. Ha ha, better than Blamer. However both of them failed to hit the yellow centre. The instructor promised to reward us with a Harris bandana if we can hit the bull's eye.

So it's up to me and Winston to do the trick.

Yen: Bro must get the Bandana for me hah.

Do I resemble... ....

Wa ha ha, I bet Blamer craves for me to I look like this... ...

Ah hah! Nearly destroyed the board with tat shot.

My authentic archery results.

The rest with the-not-so "authentic" results. Wa ha ha ha.

Doncha think Blamer's score board looked strangely familar?

We din managed to get the free Bandana, but we sure had a hell of a time blasting our arrows.

Taking a break after our archery session and while waiting for the transport for our next activity, tried to soaked in the Chinese New Year festive spirit at Harris. (Yes, this was before CNY, thanks to Blamer for hogging the photos)

Finally our transport arrived. Blamer was holding onto the tickets for our next activity.

Vroom Vroom! It's time to pit our skills on the race track. No amount of Daytona can beat the real thing.

To make things even more realistic. We need to put on the same head gear to protect us from all the heat and sweat while racing.

Dear Winston specially prepared this "headgear" to protect our hair from the smelly helmets that we were going to put on later.

The pro-looking trio.

However, is it me or does Blamer's helmet looks a bit 不搭?

A group photo after the race. No prizes for guessing who kena lapped the most no of times. Wa ha ha ha.

Time to break for lunch. Complimentary crackers as an appetizer.

We ordered our pizzas which was included in the package. Deliciously baked in a traditional oven that uses wood as the source of fuel. In my opinion, I think the pizzas are the most value-for-money items to order from their menu. Be sure to try them.
