Because of thebf and his friend signing up the cableski package at Batam, they had this free resort stay at HolidayInn Batam. Been planning and talking abt utilizing the free room stay since last year but never got a chance to materialize it due to my studies (**&^!@^&@*#). Finally made an advance booking to utilize the free room stay over the last weekends before the study and exam load kicks in from this weekend!
I skipped the cableski this time round, cos I really dont wanna suffer from another lapse of hardimpactfalls. And mind you, when I say its hard impact, its to the extent that I need to pop in two panadols to curb my headache after it. Whoever said before that falling into waters is not painful. O_0
So I checked in the room early ALONE while thebf continues his fun and ogling at sweetyounggirls at the cableski park. Oh, I had to emphasize ALONE cos *shudders*, I really had this uncomfortable feeling walking into our room at level9. But the stubborn and lazy me refused to change room, and neither did I make that phonecall to thebf to ask him to come back earlier. I just chose to nap - Waking up intermittently to check if everything was fine and making sure that I was napping on the right side so that I can hear everything that was happening around me.

Okay. Anyways, thebf finally came back at around 4 plus pm, asked him abt the uncomfortable feeling and foul smell in the room. But he felt it was okay. So we brushed this aside.
Had the cab come pick us up from the hotel lobby to go Nagoya in the evening for a spa package + dinner. I was disappointed at the spa package at this particular place that I don't even wanna mention its name. The cleanliness and sercurity level werent present (or at least I felt so). We were being told to lie on the mattress (which I call it similar to the mattress in backpackers lodge), and our face on the pillow which I thought I would have another outburst of pimples by doing so. The massage skills was admittedly rather good though. But if you were to ask me, sorry, I aint going back there again.
Dined at Godiva Coffee cafe. Wanted to foot the bill in cash - We were told that our currencies had expired. We were like... WTF. (!@&^*@&^&!@)
Didnt really had a good night's sleep. Cos the minute I managed to fall asleep, I had this very bad nightmare which lasted like around an hour. I dreamt of a murder case whereby the scene had exactly the same layout as the room that we were staying in!!! *shudddeeerrrssss*. I woke up in fear. Thank goodness I managed to fall asleep after that though. But the nightmare was so real that I had to go to the temple last night to pray to soothe my fears.
So anyway, we woke up the next morning, had our breakfast before suntanning and lounging at the swimming pool.
Took some photos around the resort, but seriously there's nothing much over there. Came back to Singapore, found myself scratching all over my body. I kanna a bout of rashes over my whole back, thighs, neck and whole arms that had me scratching and fidgeting all over. And yes, it was DAMN itchy to the extent that I couldn't care if my manicured fingernails were going to leave marks on my skin. Not to mention that I got numerous stares from thebf to tell me to stop scratching. It got so bad that I went to see a 24-hr clinic doc lor. Boo.
All in all, it was still a rather good weekend retreat, other than the rashes and horrigible nightmare that I had. I just hope that things are back to normal and yup, time to get back into the studying mode again!
