Batam Getaway with BFF | 19 Oct 18 - 20 Oct 18

Breakfast at McDonald's with le bff cos we're heading off to Batam for a short get-away

We bought ferry ticket from Majestic Ferry that departs at 1040hrs but keep thinking it 1050hrs. So when we check-in at 1040hrs, we were denied entry cos the ferry has already departed. We end up paying additional $3 to change it to the next available ferry.Reached & heading to the hotelAmaris Hotel Batam - Conveniently situated behind Nagoya Hill Mall. Left out stuffs at the concierge & off we go! First thing first, lunch at A&WConnie Dog w/egg, curly fries, friend chicken & root beer float!Next, nails time at Konad Nail & Beauty SalonLe bff is not doing it, so she sits at the side & be my maid. After a while, she is bored & went grocery shopping on her ownThe amount of colors going onto my nails!Unicorn on my finger & bear on my toeBubble tea before we head back to hotel for check-inBought this mini hair straightener while on the way back to hotelFoot massage after done with checking in hotelDinner at this Ayam Penyet Restaurant at Nagoya Hill MallBut check out the size of the chicken.
