Bayu Marina Resort @JB

 
 
I don't like to DRIVE to JB ,the fact that OMFG THEY ARE SO HAZZARD DRIVERS AND YA.. I AM THAT FINE SWEET LITTLE LADY THAT ALWAYS BEING SCOLD BY GUY DRIVERS OK.
So that one fine day while I'm still attached , we drove in for some snack and an impromptu last minute stay. Based on our feeling we ended up at some resorts and decided to check it out.
 
It was a fantastic stay too. Apartment is big and apparently its a residences and resort apartment.
Yes. meaning the locals bought and stay there and developer leased out partial of the development.
 
In the day when you were at the pool area, you could see the big sea and that was why it's called RESORT. BUT! however its not a beach.
You got yourselves relax in the living room area with nice TV channels.
( OKAY I MEAN NICE CHANNELS IS FOR PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND MALAYS, EXCEPT DISCOVERY CHANNEL.-.-")
 
 
 
 
Well ,so this was supposed to be our supper I guessed?
Grab these cause these are the MOST SINFUL BUT DELICIOUS SNACK JOHOR BAHRU IS FAMOUS FOR! - LOK LOK.
 
Take the most spicy chili if you can take it!
I bet you will enjoy it...
(AND DONT FORGET TO BUY OR TAKE TISSUES BEFORE YOU DO THAT OKAY?)


SO I HAD MY FAVOURITE FROGLEG PORRIDGETOO.  *YUMMY YUM YUM.
 
They could cost as much as SGD$20+ for a meal like that.
(SINGAPOREANS WILL KNOW LOK LOK IS NICE BUT NOT CHEAP TOO YEA.)
 
DRIVE IN TO JB NOW!!!
OH YA! BUT REMEMBER TO REGISTER YOUR CAR BEFORE 1ST OCT.

BCC HOTEL@ BATAM

 
 
 
Alrights, I must not deny that sometimes I'm crazy , when i got bored of staying in Singapore , I love to go OUT.I mean like Johor bahru or Indonesia HAHA. I JUST FELT IM OUT OF SINGAPORE.
 
Okay, so this is BCC @BATAM, also within the period when I'm out of love! I went on a 2D1N trip with an impromptu friend whom can last min take a one day leave.
We were supposed to book a normal room ( BECAUSE OF BUDGET YOU SEE? ) but not sure what happened we had got upgrade to BCC SUITE. And I though it was cheap. it cost us SGD$110/NIGHT only.
 
LOOK AT HOW BIG THE ROOM WAS!
 
 

YOU HAD A JAZZUCI IN THE BATHROOM!
Just too bad im not travelling with Boyfriend.
Thus I did not use that BIG JAZZUCI.  ;(
(YEA YEA CAUSE I SCARE TO BE ALONE IN SUCH A BIG BATHROOOM.HAHA)
 
 
 
LOOK AT THIS BIG BIG LIVING ROOM.
AMAZED RIGHT ?
I mean If it was to be in SINGAPORE, IT COULD COST 5-6 TIMES THE PRICING.
You could practically ROLL IN THE ROOM!
Yes. Hotel is clean and tidy and is comfy.
 
Go for this if u want a day in a big room. including the ferry SGD$40+
Per pax is around SGD$100-$150 INCLUDING DRINKS AND EAT.
 

 
 
This trip we went to BCS as it was just a one day trip.
We had their spicy kang kong, their nice steam fish as well as the zhuzhu.
The fish is delicious. BIG AND EAT TILL YOU ARE SICK OF IT!
And it cost us like SGD $30+ ?


 
 
GET A CHEAP GETAWAY WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU NEED
 TO GETAWAY YET NOT MUCH BUDGET ;)
 
 
PS. I have a few more batam posts. because each batam trip I went, I want to stay different hotels. thus for more places ,I will mentioned there.


PENANG TRIP @ HARDROCK HOTEL

 
I've decided to upload those latest trips I've been first compared to those past old trips.
Well , I've been out of love (I MEAN LIKE I CANNOT BELIEVE THE GUY LEFT ME WITHOUT ANY REASONS? ITS NOT LIKE I BUILLIED HIM OKAY?) . So I'm really depressed. I cannot figured out WHY! and so I pulled a lot of friends and buddy out for short trips.
That include this PENANG TRIP.
I shall say this is my FIRST TRIP.( haha its funny! but well, i'm a frog in that small well luh)
Virgin trip to penang with good friend. That guardian angel who will not leave me la. ( OH YA HE SAID HE WILL WHEN HE FOUND HIMSELF A GF ,  I WAS LIKE ...ZZZZ OK FINE)
 
 
The heritage country with a lot of history the moment we touch down airport. And I only took ONE pic from airport cause the rest of the tourists was like occupying the whole wall of Penang airport.
 
 
THE SNAKE TEMPLE.
Address: Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, 11900 Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia

Once we touch down and outside the airport ,we are lucky to get this famous UNCLE LIM.
HE is so friendly and kind ( JUST THAT A LILL TOO PROUD OF HIS OWN ACHIEVEMENTS LA ;X) But well, cause in penang theres 30%of them are millionare.AND HE IS ONE OF THEM.
His Taxi service is great. He passed by that snake temple , which is the most famous temple with real snakes sleeping in trees. DONT PRAY PRAY OKAY.They are real and poison snakes.
The pictures are not with me . but ya its located very near to Airport .
PRAY FOR SAFE AND LUCK!
 
 
Then the taxi driver will definitely bring you to their island famous TOURIST SPOTS.
COFFEE AND TEAS.
Trust me , coffee lovers , prepare $$ for all different flavours of coffee inside,you will be amazed!
range from traditional to latte or tiramisu coffee.
but each packet of coffee cost us about SGD$13-14/PACKETS.
Well,  first time anyway....
 
Then ,to our nice and big relax hotel @ HARDROCK.
Okay, supposingly I wanted to sun tan to tan away all troubles and sadness.
WHO KNOWS THAT PENANG BEACH IS NOT CLEAN AND FILLED WITH JELLY FISHES!!! OMG.
So PLEASE, don't expect that all beaches will be cleaned and there is sun everywhere.
the sun in penang is as weak as a mouse. haha. but okay lah, I understand that its the weather. I CAN BLAME NO ONE.
Take a look at the hotels below......




 
Okay, I must say this is a good one!
Their spa. Its a SGD$100 FULL BODY SCRUB , 1.5HOUR MASSAGE AND SOAK BATHE.
TRY THIS IF YOU ARE THERE.




 
Of course other than staying in the hotel, there are a few nice bars and bistro I have to recommend
WE Been to Uncle Lim's recommendation.
 
 
Ferringhi garden

I got the above from internet and so linked it back;)
That place was indeed beautiful. And trust me if you are a couple, relax your mind and have a drink!
(ITS LIKE $8/GLASS OF WINE)
 
 
This is the beach bar near to our hotel. both bars are accessible by a 10-15 min walk.
You find it very far? trust me grab a bottle of beer, before you could finish you've reached!
I didn't take / snap any pictures because by the time we went it was too dark.
But look at the sign board up there while searching for this place, you might missed it as it's in the inside of all night markets. the beer there is like 6 bottles (SGD30++)
 
 
 
Then the last day we went to their famous STREET WALL HERITAGE.
THAT IS OUR SINGAPORE CHINATOWN!
BUT THEY DREW PICTURES EVERYWHERE ALONG THEIR STREET.
And best is their citizen maintain it instead of vandalising it.
I cannot imagine if it was in Spore, there will be full of vandalism.
That was why I was quite amazed by the small population in a small island .
Or maybe that was the reason they could maintain their heritage well ?


This was one of the shop selling ICE POPS .
DONT BE SHOCKED BY THAT BIG POP! (I TOT IT WAS NICE AS WELL,BUT IT WAS TOO BIG! HAHA)







Before we left that beautiful island, we had all their delicacies as well as their locale pastries.
Look at how fresh it was. It was located somewhere along the street art . Opp a Chinese temple.
 
 
You don't have to spent much to be there. a short getaway with your friends or partners is more than enough ya;D
 
A small island with beautiful memories.I love penang and will be back as well!
