BATAMMMMMMM

A little late on the update, haha, but here goes

9th July. The first time in 8 years I'm going overseas (unless you cheat and count Sentosa). To me, I thought, hey, a little exposure, lots of fun. Why not?

The ferry ride there sort of upset my stomach. On top of that, all our seats were scattered, so it was hard trying to distract myself from the discomfort. Reaching there was good though, in more ways than one. Another country which I've never visit before: Indonesia, Batam.

I must point out that the air wasn't exactly the cleanest, and we've been warned by every single tour guide to be cautious of pickpockets and those ninja kidnapper taxi drivers we think only exist in scary stories. But I loved the hotel. I loved the shopping, and most of all, I loved the bonding.

To me, this trip is sort of pointless if not for the right crowd of people.

Oh yeah, there was this funny mini-adventure that happened.

I was heading down one floor to find some of the others, since we were all scattered to different rooms on different floors. As I enter the elevator, I realised that the key card is needed to activate it. Since Ern (my roommate) needed it, I decided to use the stairs. So ignoring the "Emergency Exit", I opened the door and entered the stairway.

Turns out the door was one-sided. Which means, you can get in, but you sure as hell can't get out. Being calm, I decided that the first floor's door should be two sided, and I should be able to get out. So climbing down, I reached the sixth floor, where the door was open due to some damage. I got in the elevator and just purely waited for the elevator to carry me to the first floor where I can give Ern a call at our room to come fetch me.

Good thing Michelle, Nicholas and Cheryn were there, wanting to head to McDonalds for desert. While they headed to the washroom, I checked out the first floor's emergency exit door.

Turns out it was one-sided as well.

Guess I got lucky. (Y)

Moral of the story: Don't use anything with "emergency" on it UNLESS it's really an emergency.

Will update you guys again soon, if anyone's still reading. Ciao. :D
