Along the way, walking on mushy seabed, you see seashells like this. They're all alive! You can see them all moving slowing.
There's alot of small crab holes and then we found a big one! It scurried into a log as we approached and you should see my uncle, father and bro squatting there using sticks to force it out. But we did no harm. Let it go after examining it thoroughly.
As it was low tide, we went to the resort's swimming pool first to splash about. The ladies in the family went shopping.
Around 12, the water was rising so we proceed to the beach. It was not yet high tide at this point. Btw the huts are also resorts. Nice right...
That's my dad standing by the shore. He's a nature and sea lover. And when its low tide, the water recede all the way beyond to the breakwaters you see below.
We sat at a cafe by the beach. And we were bundled up in nice heated up towels provided by the resort.
That's my 3 cousins
My uncle. We were having lunch .
My dad. One of my favourite shots.
I love this shot too. I think it's so valuable. Captured my brother's smile.
The water is not that pristine as Australia's or Tioman, but still good.
We went jet skiing too! It real fun! With each crest of the wave we shot into the air and bounced down to fly up again. We went out beyond the breakwaters to the open sea. So the waves were really big!
My dad and all his weird antics again. I guess he just wanna take in this kampong life that he so liked. He always tell me about his childhood days spent in Marina Parade playing by the sea, before it was reclaimed.
After the water activities, and that's when my ear got stuck and it's still hurting, we washed up and went for dinner.
Great ambiance. Dinning by the sea.
Back at the hotel, with my grandma. =)
My favourite auntie, my self proclaim God-ma. =)
I LOVE this shot! Me and my mummy! =) Do we look alike?
Playful parrot, reminded me of my April who, upon my return, gave me attitude. Probably thought that I abandoned her. Wouldn't greet me, tag along me and look at me. She bite my cheek yesterday night lor! I'm so upset I cried and she licked me all over then. I guess she called it even and is now back to normal.
On the ferry, father and son moment again.
We went up the deck again. This time I'm more secure and stood by the rail at the top for most of the ride.
Bye bye Batam and hello Singapore! See the skyline?
I breathed in God's grace and beauty
So thus ends my trip to Batam. It was short but sweet. Family time and love is what I wanna thank God for.Labels: family times, holiday
