Batam Trip

Went Batam on 22 June with my parents and brother to attend my cousin's wedding. My dad is from Batam so most of his family are there. We only went there to stay for a night. Though its a short trip, but its quite fruitful. We manage to shop at 2 shopping malls and the Tees are so cheap!!


At my uncle's house when the bride and groom arrives


Provision shop owned by my uncle - just next to his house, saw many titbits and small toys I used to eat and play when I was young!!


We stop over along the road to buy durian and rambutans.


The hotel we stayed was also not bad though a bit ulu. My dad know the hotel boss, so he gave us a 60% discount!! Hopefully, can go there to shop again!!


We also went to my Ah Ma's house and my uncle's house. It may look good from the front door (2 storey house) but when I go the back door, I can't imagine. The back door faces the sea, it may sounds good but its quite dirty. My uncle told us, they will just throw whatever rubbish outside!! OMG!!


The wedding dinner is a bit different from here. Its more like a 七月歌台 to me. (Though sounds a bit inauspicious) Luckily, I did not bring Jenelle there. Throughout the dinner, there will be someone singing on the stage with a live band. And its soooo loud!! To me, its quite a torture actually. And also, we waited for abt 2 hours before the dinner starts!! The bride and groom don't go to each table for photo taking. Instead, we have to wait till the end of the dinner and take together with the whole family on the stage. And mind you, there are a lot of people lor. Now then I know I have so many relatives in Batam.
