Dar & Baby Bintan Getaway ... 2 of us & Phyllis !

Hmm.. how fast the holidays juz passed by like that! Oh.. last Sat, Dar & I finally went for our lil mini hunnymoon! Yup .. juz d 2 of us setting off to d island of Bintan ... for a full 55 hrs of couple-hood! :) ( Thou Phyllis tagged along too as U can see) Yes .. been a long while since d 2 of us spent time alone esp when juggling with wk and parenting. Its kinda hard to sometimes even have an hr of quality time each day!! Although, we have been truely blessed with our parents helping us with d kids and so we do sometimes have time to "date" :)

Hence, been able to juz have d 2 of us for d full 55 hrs ... it was an indulgence and this trip was truely one relaxing and a great time for us to bond! :) And we did ... with a well-deserved massage at the Mayang Sari's spa ! Wow ... that was heavenly! And thank God ... initially, there wasnt a couple room avail when we booked. But after a bit of waiting and praying .. we managed a couple room! What's so nice about the couple room ... well .. we could not use the facilities .. but they have an outdoor shower area and a made-of stome bath tub should we have taken the other pkg. But the 2 of us are juz massage junkies and what we needed was a full 90 mins body massage! Wow ... it was so relaxing !!! Check out the interior.

Oh .. did i mentioned .. I brought Phyllis .. Dar brought his toy too ! :) Yup his SLR .. which we took several nice shots of the spa .. something our old camera did no justice the last time we came 2 yrs ago! Check out the morning glory shot!

Of coz .. what's Bintan with no Beach shots! We took several nice pics at the beach and one that gave me d creeps .. coz I hate messy looking protuding things ... is d pic of the low tide ... Irrks .. But I have never seen low tide b4 and this is how it looks like !

Oh ... we were blessed with wonderful weather too ...d 1st day was rather COLD but was d windy cold breeze reminded us of our Perth days ... and to have our Dinner at the old Mana Mana beach club was perfect ! It was facing the sea and the ambience was exactly we loved and to top it off with such weather! Cool!

The next day was a perfect day for a tan at d beach or pool. Not too hot or cold. Just right for us! We had a great time at the pool. Later in the afternoon, we rented our fave old buggy ride around the resort! That's my fave part coz my dar dar always pretend his buggy is an ATV and we were rammed it all over the off-limits place!! kekekekke so notty! And we have Phyllis with us! :)

That nite, we were at Pasar Oleh Oleh but we missed the bus back and the next bus back was 2 hrs later .. For those of u who have been there, its much too long to walk for such a small plc like Pasar Oleh Oleh! So .. we had to spend more to take a cab back! :'( Still .. we refused to let our moods be dampened by it. We had our dinner at our Hotel's coffee house facing the sea as well. Was wonderful! Really cant imagine how much d 2 of us put on man! Pasta and Pizza eating the whole 3 meals! Oh My!

All in all ... it was a trip both of us had quality time spent together; rekindling our love that sometimes was forgotten due to the bussle of life. It help us to remember how our love and appreciates each other more. Thank U Dar for being my Dar! muakz.

But end of d day .. we both missed our darlings so very much and cant wait to see them again! So .. we took an extra day off juz to bring them out the next day . And U should have seen the looks on their faces when they saw us coming home!!!
