Done for the Day

2 May

After not much debate, Chinese food was the choice. Driving along the bumpy roads, one comment was shock as to the place we were brought to but the food did make up for the ambience.

It was authentic Chinese food. Coupled with our third bottle of whiskey, I guess we cannot complain. By 9.30pm, we were finally done for the day. I am pretty light headed at this point and an early night to turn in is very appealing. After all, tomorrow morning, we play our final game at 8.00am again. But with the traffic to fight with, an early turn in is most welcomed. The 5.30am wake up call beckons.

It’s Not Over Yet

2 May

Shopping was nyeh. There’s nothing to buy or should I say, nothing caught my fancy: the branded fakes are not my cup of tea (remember I am a brand loyalist to Salvatore Ferragamo?) nor the batiks and local handicraft. In the end, we bought some chips, peanuts, Carlsberg and Bintang beer and sat in a corner of A&W to will the time away in the mall right opposite our hotel.

The holiday is not over yet because we have another game tomorrow! And the big debate was what should we eat for dinner tonight. I think I will find out when the transport comes at 6.30pm.

Done for the Day?

2 May

By 11.30am we were done playing golf and hit the shower. Southlinks’ ladies changing room is by far the most comfortable for this trip. After lunching on soto ayam, ayam penyet and avocado juice, we were done by 2.30pm.

So what are we going to so? Done for the day? Maybe time to go shopping! And that’s what we will do…

On the Road

2 May

After breakfast, we were on our to Southlinks Country Club but was caught in a jam. Are we surprised? Batam it seems has flourished and there’s a lot of vehicles on the road.

Batam: Day 3

2 May

5.42am: Woke up before the alarm rang. I slept better than the first night. Maybe the massage helped or tiredness has kicked in or I ate too much or it was the Glenfiddich whiskey that we had with our seafood dinner. It is day 3 and today, we will play at Southlinks Country Club.

Somehow, this trip, I feel that I don’t have enough time for the food to digest. But it’s not like we’ve been eating a lot. I suspect it could be the late lunch timing. After all, with an eight o’clock tee off and five hours or so later that includes a quick shower and traveling time, lunch is around 1.30pm. Technically, being an hour ahead, my usual lunchtime of 11.30am is 3 hours later! No wonder. And before we know it, dinner time is here and eat again!
And after a short sleep, breakfast time! Eat again.

I should walk more than take the buggy…
