This is a poster on SBS bus informing passenger the penalty rate for underpaid the bus fare.

If you are the one who would want to 'eat' the bus fare, which categories would you choose ?



I will choose Non-Payment of Fare. Cost never pay bus fare, O GONG is $20 only, rather than I use my child's concession pass, pay lower fare, and the O GONG is $50.

I lost my diamond earrrings ... :(

That night while I laying on my bed playing with my handphone, I feel something drop off from pillow. I wake up and saw the back of the earrings (the stopper of the earring). Funny thing is, there isnt any earring around the bed. How could the back of earrings stay at the back of my ear with the earrin infront. I start to look around the house, toilet, living room, bedroom, kitchen, sofa ..... everywhere of the house, but couldnt find it. So sad. The earrings has been with me for 4.5 years.

We have a last minutes planning of going to Bintan Resort for short holidays.

We do a online booking for villas and ferry. One week later, 04 June, we are on board Aries Bupala vessel, sailing toward Bintan Resort.

DAY 1, 04 June
Arrived around 12noon (Indonesia time), check in to 36 Buganvil villas. Wah, is a big house, upstair got 4 bed rooms, down stair got dinning area, living room, small kitchen counter and a buggy. After settling with our room, we start busy at the kitchen, cooking instant noodles and pizza for our lunch.




After lunch we went to beach to have sea sports. First we went for snorkerling. The water is clear, we paid for the equipment and lift jacket and $20 for 2 guides, which will show us how to use equipment and where to see fishes.

Samuel cant swim, one of the guide hold him all the way. You know, I am scare of swimming in the sea too, and imagine wearing the "duck leg shoe", swim a little and struggling to stand up. The guide then told me, dun need to stand up, just head up and turn your body. I try, and i really float in the sea with head face up, very relaxing. The life jacket really work, and make you float in the water. we swim about 200m away from beach, is about 2-3 m deep, and the are lot of fishes, demo fish, and some colourful fishes, creatures and black round thing with a lot of long horns. Is a wonderful feeling to see all this sea creatures in close distance. When tired, just turn around and laying on the sea. shiok.

On our way back, someone shout "big wave" and start to swim to the left, I was a big worry and start to look around to see where is the wave, then one guide pointed to the sea, i put my head down and saw a stingray, is stingray and I thought they shouted for "big wave", scare me, hahaha

After the snorkerling, they went for bananaboat, whereby we seat on a banana shape boat with a speedboat infront pulling the "banana boat". I didn't try, cause they say may fall into the sea. Although with life jacket, I decided not to try.

When they are back, they went for Jet Ski. I try one round, they ride so fast, at one turning part, I kanna swing out of my seat, in order to balance back to the seat, I hold so tight to the ridder, in the end, I pull the 3 of us into the sea. Of course got life jacket, we float and we swim back to the jet ski. Is a fun experience to drop into the sea.

After the sea sport, went back to villas to clean up and went for dinner. Then idealing at the villas watching TV, play cards etc.

DAY 2, 05 June
While waiting for the rest to wake up, we went to the beach to have a walk. We pick alots of dunno what crabs. So nice and so cute.



We have some fun at the recreation centre for archery, golf driving range and laser quest and pool.







Afternoon, we went for snorkerling again. Nina went along as well. The wave was stronger today. When my head is down in the sea, I could feel the current ontop of me. When they all start off, I was left behind, and feel so nervous, I wanted to turn back and not joining them. My friend at the middle of the journey encourage me to swim over, finally, I manage to catch up with them and exchange my snorkel with the guide as I found the goole got bit of water going in. Is really enjoying by laying on your back at the sea and let it float.

We also try banana boat and enjoy fun at the beach with the kids.







At night we went for karaoke, but the system suck, so difficult to find a song. We sing for an hour and back to villas.


DAY 3, 06 June

The holiday end today. And it is a fun and enjoyable trip.
