Bintan Trip Episode 3

On our second day, Papa woke up earlier to go for breakfast so that he can bring me around on his own while Mama could enjoy hers. But that was not to be. As soon as he left the room, I woke up and Mama tried to wash herself up quickly and brought me to the cafeteria as she needed hot water to help me make a warm bottle of milk. She thought Papa would be there but by the time she reached the cafeteria where Papa was having breakfast, he was not there anymore. She had no choice but to settle me down and asked for some hotwater for me.


You may wonder what about the electric kettle in our room. Well, it was a faulty one that will trip and cause the entire hotel room to black out and so Mama and Papa did not use it much.

In fact, there was a couple of blackouts in the first night and the room was really in pitch darkness. Mama could not even see her own fingers, much less see me when the blackout happened. Did I cry when it happened? Of course not!! I was too young to be afraid of the dark, Mama supposed. Or maybe it was because I knew Mama and Papa were still in the same room with me and I could still hear them talk to each other despite not seeing them.


Anyway, after breakfast, Mama brought me to the beach and though there were no photos to document the event, Mama remembers I squealed in delight as the waves lapped my feet.





Mama then brought me back to the room to change me so that she can bring me to the swimming pool while Papa goes for a massage. By the time she changed me and brought me to the pool, I had fallen asleep and Mama had to bring me back to the room. Haha. ;p

Mama thought that since I was taking a nap, she will have a nice relaxing shower and then she took some time to read the Bible. When I woke up, we went to the Japanese restaurant at the resort for lunch. While waiting for the lunch to come, I wasted little time as I quickly wnt to explore the restuarant. There were only another couple in the restaurant other than Mama and myself. I enjoyed going up the raised platform where the teppanyaki counter was and Mama was fine with letting me just go up and down the platform. When Papa came back from the massage, he came and took me back to the room.

Soon, we went swimming again.

This time, Papa brought me to the pool before we headed for the beach and we had a good time. Papa really loved the beach as the sand was very fine and the seawater was very clear. We could even see fishes swimming even though the water was only ankle deep. Mama is timid and initially hid behind Papa when he told her he could see the fishes.


For both dinners on the first and second day, Papa ordered room service. For our first dinner at Bintan, I had some fish from the Fish and Chips Mama requested and my second dinner was spaghetti bolognaise. I did not take much of both food as the dinner was kind of near my bed time and I was kind of busy walking around. Also, Papa and Mama was trying to catch a korean drama on tv and ordering room service meant they can watch the drama and then try to put me to sleep. It also seemed cheaper to order room service at the resort too.


It would soon be time to head home. :)
