Batam Trip 2014
August 05, 2014Went for a short holiday to Batam with our maternal family for a night and I felt really happy that all of us is able to spend some time together, especially with my grandparents. I remember the previous time that we went for a holiday together was to Malacca years back. But not everyone was present for this trip this time round though, because they couldn't make it due to work or school.... that's why they are planning another day trip there again this month, which I'm not going. :x
Anyway, even though I brought my camera along for this trip, I didn't managed to use it to take any pictures at all. So for this post, all the pictures are taken by my iPhone! But even so, I think the quality of the pictures are not that bad still!

Came across this primitive theme park!

Although primitive, I still do think it looks really pretty and colourful!

After that, we checked into our resort and Lucas insisted on sleeping with us for the night. Here you have him totally engrossed in watching tv programme while I snapped a few pictures without him knowing hahaha.

Love this candid picture of them splashing water at me! The filter and editing was done on my phone for this one, as I posted it up on Instagram that time when I was there. Ran wasn't with us at the pool because he was..... sleeping.

Had A&W before boarding the ferry! And in this picture, Lucas looked so precious awwww! All of us really enjoyed ourselves for this trip, but grandpa think that 2D1N is a little too short... Well, I think so too! Should go for 3D2N at least!
