Bintan for a day!

Went to Bintan for um, a day on Monday!We were supposed to come back today but my dad unexpectedly had to go to the hospital so we went off to Bintan without him /:Then we came back on Tuesday. ):
We went to Nirwana Beach Club, which used to be called Mana Mana Beach Resort!My family used to go there all the time when I was little.  (:Super nostalgic going back there!It's a really basic and rustic place, but I was so happy!The service is awesome too.Everyone serves you with genuine smiles! (:

An old photo when I was 4 and Seth was 7 (:
One of the many times we went there!


We brought our oldest dolls, Rudolph and Snuggy, just like we used to all the time!

My most loved rag dolls ^^

In their bags (:

Korkor and Ini!

Momsie moops.

And we weren't expecting to come back so soon, so we bought 4 days worth of booze.When mom decided to come home the next day, we had to finish a dozen bottles of beer in one night.And one bottle of Baileys too!

Seth reading his Bono book.

On the ferry!

It really doesn't look like much, but this is how we remembered it (:Super nostalgic!

This is how it used to look like!

Past and present! (:Look at how old the railing has become!

This is a berry called Kemunting I think!It grows on this tree which Dad used to pluck from when we were young.It actually tastes quite nice when it's ripe!
