Back To You

Here's the moments I wrote down on the Notes section of my phone during my trip at Bintan. :)

Day 1

Currently everyone is in bed, fast asleep. Only I seem to be up and awake haha. It's been quite a day!

Arrived at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal as early as 0730 and I was so damn tired. We boarded the ferry, and I started to feel slightly nauseated. However I could control it. Then this Nat who was seated near me started gagging in a plastic bag. The boat haven't even started moving yet! LOL. Slept my way through the journey and it was so fast! Arrived at Bintan in less than an hour. Took a special VIP transport *ahem* via a car with 3 others while the rest took the bus. 

Slept through again and arrived at Loola Resort! It was prettyyyy. And full of life. We went to our respective villas. Mine was placed above the sea. And the breeze there was damn good!! 

View of the sea,

Our first meal!

Our pretty villas.

The clear sea

Our beds.

Hahaha typical boys room.

Toilet!

Le windows.

Had lunch made by the people there, rested for a while then went for our first activity! Coconut climbing! It was like rock climbing but tricker as the slits in the trees were hard to hold and step on. And if you know me well, you'd know I'm REALLY SCARED of heights. But I mustered enough courage to give it a go and I almost reached the top!! Hehe. Phew.

Next was the skyline walk. Ohmygosh. This was suicide. Literally. You have to climb a long wooden ladder, walk across a barely steady log, and… Jump. I've never been so scared and shaky in my entire life. But it was a good view from the top though HAHA. But once is enough for me. And my balls HURT AF. ._.

We chilled for the rest of the day and I managed to connect to the sucky wifi at night to text Baby. Hehe. Don't worry, I'm fine. I hope you are too.

Pretty clear view of the moon at night.

Off to rest for tomorrow's events. Ciao

Love, Eran.

Day 2

Whoop whoop! Slept so soundly surprisingly. Maybe it's cause I'm near the sea? And no bugs attack, phew.

Had breakfast then we set off to the beach for our raft-making. I've never liked activities like this but I got the group that I wanted and we built an awesome raft! Until it broke just as we were gonna try sail on it. HAHAHA. But we didnt care and just went in the sea to race against the other rafts. (only 1 out of 4 rafts didnt break). My group came in first hahaha. Such cheaters! Well at least we had fun. They let us play in the sea for a while and I got to have h2h with Cheryl while floating around. Hehe.

Yawnz.

I was blocked by Mr B. ._.

Jyeah!!!

We went back up to rest & dry up then we went for pizza-making! Wooooah. The dough was already prepared for us and all we had to do was to put the ingredients on it ourselves. We then gave it to a helper, who helped cook it using an old-fashioned furnace. It took less than 5 minutes! So cool. And yummyyyy. Had a good lunch.

We rested a while before our next activity: BOOMNET! Just the thought of it was terrifying to me. Was anything worse than yesterday?? We took the bus who took us to the beach outside the resort. Then we boarded a small boat who transferred us to the big boat. On both sides of the boat, were 2 nets. All we had to do was to jump in it! (With our life jackets and sea water splashing while the boat moved). It was so cool. And those that wanted more thrill could jump from the upper deck! I only did it 2 times, once on both sides haha. I didnt like the salty seawater going up my nose and mouth.

The next activity was trekking. It was at least 3km. It was my first experience too but I didnt really find it that challenging as it required more brawn and brains than the other nerve-wrecking activities. Climbing down the steep slopes was pretty tough though! We were all really happy when we reached the end. 

By the time we reached back to the resort, we were all super shagged. We went back to the villa, and I took my shower. Then we joined the rest at the campfire, where my juniors were hard at work cooking Maggie heh heh.

That pretty much summed up today. 2 more days…

Love, Eran.

So bummed when I found out that I'll be going home in the evening on the last day. :((

Sigh.

Day 3

Halfway there. We did kayaking and dragon boating in the morning. It was damn scary!!! Cause I'm scared of water too. We did a water confidence test and I had to confidence at all LOL. Could barely keep myself afloat. We then paired up and I went with Mr Botak for kayaking. It was pretty scary cause he's more heavier than I am and I was scared we might capsize. I also felt uncomfortable with my sitting position, and my back was so painful, that I found myself lying on my back while Mr B did all the paddling HAHA. So we paddled all the way to our guide and the group to play some games. One of them was where 2 people had to stand up and change positions with each other. And 'lucky' enough, I was chosen. FML HAHAHA. So scary, but we managed to do it. I got to paddle with Dubu! Hehe. And she was really nice. I actually felt more comfortable paddling with her! We paddled slowly and reached the group last, who have all paddled to the nearby mangrove island. We got off and swam around for a while. So fun! But I got super tanned in the end hais. We then changed to dragon boating where there were a lot of us paddling and I got to relax at the end heheh.

Came back to the shore, washed up and had our lunch. Slept a bit, then went to the Obstacle Course. this was really challenging for me as I'm not that fit. ._. Nat, Riri, and Mr B all helped to assist me. I walked the plank (It was super nerve wrecking as it was quite high.), crawled the monkey ladder,, swung from the swings (my legs were not long enough lmao), and walked across the tightrope, and got through the stepping stones. Also managed to climb the rope halfway, before my hands gave way haha. We all slowly took turns and Riri's was the funnies cause she kept wanting to shit/vomit hahaha. This girl ah.

Next up was, Marine Walk! I loved this so much! It was nice to walk by the beach when it's low tide. We saw so many sea creatures! And I almost tripped and fell a couple of times. Haha. Watched the sun set as me and Cheryl walked back to our villas while having deep convos again hehe.

Le Hitam the Dog!

Starfish!!!

Crab!!!

Sea snail!! Omg.

The sun was really pretty so I couldn't resist.

This is who the sea looks like when it's low tide.

Went back to wash up but then found out that there was no water. Decided to just go for the barbecue dinner instead. After that we had a bonfire at night where we sang and laughed and almost got cooked by the fire. ._. (It was damn hot.)

Beautiful.

When we went back, there was still no water. We decided to give up waiting. So a few of us just sat at the dining area and chit chatted. We then went back to our villas, and since I was alone, decided to go to the girls's place where I knocked out and spent the night.

Overall I'm… TIRED.

Can't wait to get back la…

Love, Eran.

I know you want me back badly. 

I'm coming soon baby.

Day 4 

LAST DAY!!!!

So apparently last night, Mr B and some others tried to search for me cause they thought I went missing . Haha, didnt know that I could cause such trouble. :x

Woke up to this.

Had breakfast then proceeded to our final activities.. Rock climbing and Flying Fox!

I only did rock climbing, and that was enough to get me all shaky. Didnt give flying fox a try because my strength was all burnt out and that it was like… 2 elements in one? Cause when we're flying down, we're suppose to land in water. That's crazy enough for me hahaha. I'll give it a miss, no regrets. xD Watching everyone else do it was thrilling enough. 

Some final snaps.

After the activities, we went back to refresh and pack. Had a biiig final lunch, and got ready to go to the main canteen, where we gathered and boarded the bus. (I took the car transport again woohoo!!) 1 and a half hours later, we arrived to this tourist shopping area, which had absolutely nothing that interested me. But the girls decided to do keropok shopping though. Like literally big bags of keropok. Wtf haha. We finally got back in our transport at 4, boarded the ferry at 5, and reached Singapore at 7.30.

After the 4 days, I'm glad I managed to survive most of the activities. I'm gonna miss the beautiful resort.

Love, Eran.

I made it.

I'm finally back.

Back to you.

Current Song Mood: Alex & Sierra - Back To You

Are you lonely? Do you miss me anymore?
Is your heart as empty as these arms that used to hold you?
Are you tired? Are you weaker than before?
Are you sinking? Cause I've been thinking that there's something missing
Mmm, it's you

Oh, it's you

Now I'm without you
I'm feeling insecure about the little things
I guess the little things were what we lost
But all I remember brings me back to you and all those little things
I'm not anything without you

I grew tired of all the empty promises
You held me up to a place so high
But I'm down in the ground and there's no one around
All this love that I gave to you
In your arms I asked you to kiss me
Over and over again

Now I'm without you
I'm feeling insecure about the little things
I guess the little things were what we lost
But all I remember brings me back to you and all those little things
I'm not anything without you

And your mind's wandering out the door
And your body's got nowhere to fall
And it seems so clear but your heart's not sure

Now I'm without you
I'm feeling insecure about the little things
I guess the little things were what we lost
But all I remember brings me back to you and all those little things
I'm not anything

But all I remember brings me back to you, without those little things
We're not anything
