Batam & Zoo

So much happened since I last posted. Once again, its my annual Batam View Resort getaway, from the 5th to 7th November. Not much changes, only higher & more charges on their facilities... Even the table tennis are going for $2 per 30 minutes... Total crap! Didn't do much, watched some DVD-s(Piranha 3D & Reign of Assassins) , ate lots of junk food, basically just chill and sleep.

And I guess the highlight so far was going to Zoo with Lynette yesterday. Our plan of stepping into Zoo at 8:30am was disrupted by some... Okay, it doesn't matter anymore, shall not elaborate on that. Anyway, we managed to get there by 10:30, bought our tickets and off we went, with the blazing hot sun upon us. The tall, huge trees managed to keep us in shade most of the time though. To be honest, I had not seen so many animals awake in my umpteen visits previously. Saw lion feeding, nothing much actually, the trainer just threw some meat into the enclosure, that's all.

Had lunch at KFC in Children World, I was pretty shocked by how small it'd become. Rain started to fall heavily after awhile and we just chilled there, looking into each others eyes :D
After about an hour or so, the rain turned to a slight drizzle and we decided to carry on with our journey at Fragile Forest. Had some 'close' encounter with the animals, pretty fun!
Caught the "Splash!" animal show thingy, nothing much, just an solo performance by Stan the seal. But its back flip did amaze me, hahaha! Had Ben & Jerry's at the entrance area before heading home. A thunderstorm came from nowhere when we reached Khatib.

It was an real enjoyable day. I had fun, but... Sigh... Might post some pictures next time... Till then.
