it was three lovely days of wholesome good fun under the sun, albeit it was raining during much of the first day. nonetheless, i didn't allow that to throw a wet blanket on my family. we spent our day doing facial treatment and french massage. very luxurious indeed. my brother, being out of place at a spa centre, headed for kids club where he got to know two adorable french-danish babies - maris and louis. both of them are mini 'celebrities' there because they have visited the place so many times. these two darlings - i'm in no way a paedophile or cradle-snatcher - also played with us at the beach. they enjoyed sipping our drinks - high sourball for maris and shirley temple for louis. both of them ooze delirium and innocence and are high on the 'aww' factor. my siblings and i adore them a lot.
of course, the beach would be a boring place if not for jet skiing and canoeing. taking into consideration that canoeing isn't my forte, i retardedly tried to row the canoe but failed miserably as i frequently hit the rocks. nevermind, practise makes perfect. it was my first time anyway. (: jet-skiing was absolutely enjoyable. i got to taste the freedom the bountiful body of sea evoked, the bumps resulted by the wave motion and the cooling breeze from the high moving speed of the jet-ski. my inital thought of bintan being crowded with singaporeans was proven wrong by hordes of korean and japanese tourists and many expatriate families from singapore. that's a truly international stay in bintan lagoon resort. danke. merci. tak. arigatou. kamsa hamnida. xie xie.
adorable louis at the beach humming 'twinkle twinkle little stars'.
maris looking a tad serious. hmm.
but his smiles can melt your heart.
