In my swimsuit from my Taiwan trip last year... The flowery top can be removed and it is a Tiffany blue bikini... Love it! And only NT999 which is about sgd40 plus... Good support too

Then after that we went for a couple massage in the hotel itself.. Ex though.. I think it was sgd60 plus each for a one hour massage... Not exactly that cheap compared with sg but we were too lazy to head out...

After which was dim sum buffet at the hotel too...

Batam Trip Day 1

Our first overseas trip! Though only by boat! 

Baby had to go batam to visit his company's factory in the day so suggested we did a short weekend getaway! 

As my office was just 2 train stops away from habourfront, I took time off hoping to catch the 530pm ferry over... 

But blur me left my passport in office so missed the ferry so had to take the 730pm one! Sad! 

But I ended up buying a bunch of rubbish at hello kitty fair to kill time! Will show off my buys in a seperate post... If I ever get to it... Lol!

Joke of the day:
