National Day Spa Retreat @ Batam - Day 2
Sunday, August 10, 2008

Surprisingly, I am able to wake up on time at 8.30pm. That's how I am without my bed. Went down for a disappointing breakfast - plain porridge, hash-browns, orange juice, fried rice, Guo-tiao, sausage and vegetables. Was munching on my preserved plums when I'm back in the office after the dissatisfying breakfast buffet. Sad...

Being positive, the 2nd day is definitely a better day to look forward for the trip after all the delays and hiccups on the 1st day. We prepared and went to the concierge at 9.30am to confirm our pick-up timing at 10am and check out details for out 11am massage at Spa Villa. Thought we'll be sent back to Hotel after massage but luckily we checked as we are supposed to check out before setting off as we will depart directly from Spa Resort to the Ferry terminal. Checked out successfully and started to wait...

Tick tock, Tick tock, Tick tock! 10.30am and we are still waiting! Getting impatient, we waited at the front door and the bus came only at 11am. Yes, please imagine the time wasted. Chill~ Everything will be fine once we reached? Things will be over soon and no more waiting?

No! It's another nightmare, 1st thing that was being informed was that they are still trying to be a return ferry for us as the ferry are all fully booked and they are trying their best to get a ferry back to us. Relaxing, I left my fate for them to settle and all I want is to have a good time out.

Let's enjoy the scenery...

Again! yi bo san zhe!!! There was a delay due to the last massage timing, we have to wait for a while before it's our turn. Excused me.. it's already 11.45am! Waited till 12.30pm and was told to take our lunch first... here you go, the lunch (before spa - how weird)

After lunch at 1.30pm, was being told that Ferry is booked for 5pm and massage can only last us till 3pm. Need to rot for 1.5hours again? No man... left with no choice, we spent an additional of S$38 each for a body scrub of 45mins. At very least, it's finally time for the massage. Dozed off while waiting with thunderstorm... nice weather to zzz~

How upset, unnecessary time are being wasted, additional money are being spent and nothing but delays for the whole trip. Time, people management and allocation is definitely a big problem from what I can see and experienced. Not angry, but just.... disappointed!

Despite the delays and disappointment, I guess it's still a great trip for us as it's the companion that matters most.

At least, work is not our topic for these two days.

I guess, I'm plain unlucky and not meant to take a break. No matter what, the spa session compensated back the unsatisfied delays that have taken place since the 1st day. The scenery was nice and clam... soothes one's mood.

The heart's cold, it's just another beautiful mistake. 2:27 AM
