PAM @ Batam


PAM 出海了 !!!...



'teleported' to Batam since our arrival time in Batam was at 1020am, the exact same time our ferry departed Singapore... 


grab down to Hoods Coffee for brunch with all our barang barangs cos check in would be @ 3pm... 

grab is really affordable and convenient in batam. we took 12 grab rides on this 3D2N batam holiday and total fare was only S$30.07...  




nail pampering session with Konad Nails Grand Batam Mall at 1.30pm


took us 3 hours to get these pretty 'olaf' nails... the manicurists were just too details oriented... 



it was 5+pm when we checked into our three bedroom with sea view unit @ Palam Mansion at Apartment One Residence.... joke on us when we realised that it was just NEXT to the ferry terminal.... 😂😂😂...


we stayed in the Silver (Ag) unit


and it was my turn to enjoy the bigger room with an ensuite bathroom for this trip...  



cholesterol loaded dinner @ Golden Prawn 933... was humming "你的童年 我的童年 la la la la la



followed by dessert & drinks @ Harris Bar


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


nice view from my room balcony where i sipped my Redoxon drink before being out & about on our second day in Batam




yummy brunch @ BestStockPick Trading Cafe... missing the taro latte already!!! 



grab driver strongly recommended this petting zoo which was just beside the 'abandoned' Ocarina theme park that we were initially interested in exploring...   


bought food for the animals 




though the environment could do a lot better, i had lots of fun feeding the animals !!!

this cutie was free roaming like a little puppy!!!

New Trio in JB


at 9.50am, 3 of us joined a few dozens eager shoppers at stressing the security personnel with our stares while he stood guard next to the signage which states that the mall would only be open at 10am... the fact that we were only cutting across the mall to get to Restoran Ya Wang on the other side of the mall for brunch made it even more ridiculous... 😅😅😅

hearty meal @ RM132 (S$41.51)



first shopping spree @ Big Pharmacy for the two of them while these cute bottles of chia seeds caught my attention...

RM12.90 for a set of 4



跟不同的人去 JB 就是会 explore 到不同的地方


this group brought me shopping in this ulu building with familiar brands...



from Watsons for the BT21 fans...too cute to resist buying even though it's not charting Singapore holidays... 😅😅😅

RM 10.90 each




PAM has been spotting this black cat stuff on our JB & BKK trips... since it's gifting month, i got myself the totebag (RM8.90) for school 2026 and bath towels (RM12.90 each) for the 2 of them... 




these teeny tiny sticker certificates caught my attention too... bought all 4 designs
RM2.10 for each set of 24 stickers



this area feels like the area around work leh!!! 😂😂😂


treat our tummies, rest our feet @ secret recipe... share share these at RM40 nett... exchange rate advantage + no gst + no service charge = 就是爽... 



thankful for wonderful shopping kakis !!!
