Transformation of our house!!

A week has passed since we have confirmed the colors for the painting and the dimensions for all the carpentry works. Hence, we went to our house to check on the progress of the renovation.

And the painting of the whole house was completed!




The false ceiling at the living room and master bedroom were completed as well

The re-location of the entrance to our master bedroom were completed as well.

The color of our guest room cum future baby room. Both of us love the color of the room!

The once empty unit is slowly transforming to our ideal home! We could not wait to check on the progress of the renovation every week! Hopefully when the renovation is completed, it will look like the 3D design. =)

2D 1N in Bintan (Part 2)

It was a surprise that we were able to wake up quite early after a nite of boozes. As we had some free time before meeting the rest for breakfast, gal and I took a walk down the beach.




This part of the beach looks nice in this photo !


We spotted squirrel again!
looks like we really have an affinity with the squirrels!!


Some shots of the food we had for the breakfast, which was an international buffet.




After a hearty breakfast, all of us took a little stroll down the beach, taking some photos before we head back to our rooms for check-out.
 




Shubin was melting in the sun!!! =p


I love the sky and the beautiful clouds ......




(^_-)


And we are releasing the hermit crab back to the beach. Ah Heng caught it the day before. It was hiding in its shell all this while until we start taking photos of it !


they look lost ! =p





P . E . A . C . E . F . U . L .

Last shot before we headed back to our rooms .....

some poses before we get rough and fight it out !


It was a rush day for us. After reaching Singapore, we immediately hopped onto a cab and headed straight down to the ASA Tour Fair at Suntec to check out the different tour package for our honeymoon.

And yes, we finally settled on our honeymoon location, 14 days tour in Europe!! We will be travelling to France, Italy and Switzerland!! Looking forward to our trip! =)

2D 1N in Bintan (Part 1)

Our initial destination was a trip to Kukup together with my Poly friends. As there were insufficient people for the trip, it was changed to Bintan instead.

For most of us, this was our first trip to Bintan.




The hotel rooms that we have booked were not ready yet hence, we were given a choice of a Villa instead. After viewing the Villa, we decided to stick to our hotel rooms.

There were 9 of us, but the Villa only has 2 toilets. And also, though it has a private pool, it does not seems to be as cosy as the hotel rooms.



A group photo at the Villa !



Back at the hotel reception, we were told that our rooms would only be ready in 2hrs time. To pass time, we headed to Pasar Oleh Oleh for our lunch and little "shopping".

All of us have the same thought initially, would 2 hrs be enough for us to spend our time at Pasar Oleh Oleh? Well, upon stepping foot on the place, we all concluded that 2hrs would be more than sufficient. 



This is the only decent eating place, Cafe Helo Helo. It's something like the Zi Char place back in SG. And in Bintan, they actually use SGD, hence things are not cheap either.


Feasting time !! (^_^)


The star of the day !


We ordered a set meal for 10 Pax. Food was pretty normal, and the price was considered reasonable, as we had a big crab.


After our hearty lunch, went around to explore Pasar Oleh Oleh. And it only took us 15 mins to cover the entire place. Boring place !




This place is really a kampong !


I supposed this is the mascot of Bintan?
See this logo at quite a number of places in Bintan.


Half a day has passed, and we finally got our rooms! A little rest and exploration on our own before all of us meet up again for dinner in the evening.


Dinner at Jap Restaurant !


Couple expression !?!?








After dinner, we were supposed to embark on a night tour in the swamp. There was a mixed-up between the agency and the local company, and the tour was called off. We have booked a tour for 9 person, but the local guide told us the confirmation he received was for 3 person instead of 9 !

Luckily we have planned some games and we retreated back to our rooms.


Lots of titbits, beers and hard liquor !


The rowdies !!!


and the "demure" gals ! =p


And so the game begun! Shubin taught us a new, fun game, with scribbling of faces and drinking of beers/liquor as punishment!

The game master drew first blood, getting the opportunity to draw Tze Liang's face. But what goes around, comes around ! She kena karma and got punished as well!


Draw Draw, Scribble Scribble !!


The most De Yi look !
and he was actually quite photogenic with the scribblings ! =p


Helena: "Ah Heng, u saboh me! I will remember deep deep!!"


Punishment time !! =p


The "Perfect" Couple !!! =p


Guilty look on Shubin's hubby when he was caught stealing chips ! Guess Shubin was ashamed of his actions as well =p


Finally i got an opportunity to execute my revenge !




We have came to the end of the game, but some of the faces were still relatively "clean" !


The Top Hits !
The 4 most drawn faces !


Contestant No. 1 for the most photogenic drawn face!
The Modern Bao Qing Tian !


Contestant No. 2......
The Naruto-wannabe


Contestant No. 3 .....
Rocker Heng !


Public Enemies !
The cleanest face award !


Same goes for this 2 !


How can we tolerate those people with clean faces?!?!
Bring them here and punish them !


Caught ya !
No where to run !!


wahaha, scribble scribble !!!!


no use struggling !!!


Shubin: "Oei !?! Am i on camera ?"
Me: "Opps, I think so!" =p


Helena: " Wahahaha, i caught her! i caught her!"
"Quick draw her !!! "


Artist at work ! =p



Now that's more like it, no more clean faces ! =p


The biggest losers for the night were Helena, Tze Liang, my gal and I. The game was played in Shubin's room, and the 4 of us had to walk back to our rooms, which was at the end of the other wing ! Boo !
