I just got back from Batam yesterday. Pretty crazy trip!
Better than the first one cause we got to do more stuff this time..
We went to Jimmi's house at Sentosa Cove first, it wasn't finished with the renovations yet but it already looked so awesome! The backyard had this huge ass pool and a river with a platform and everything! We went to eat lunch at One°15 on Segways and golf buggys after that, very very very cool. Its such a peaceful area to live in, everything just feels relaxed and the pace is definitely slower there.
Headed over to some place beside Katong Shopping Centre to play Left4Dead before going to Batam. Highest resolution + Widescreen + 2.1 speakers that worked + Decent keyboard + Decent Mouse + Huge mouse-pad + No lag = Good LAN session :D Think we played for 4 hours straight!
Batam was amazing! We ate like no tomorrow!
100+ Satays, Chocolate Cheese Murtabak, Nasi Padang overload, Room Service for breakfast, A&W Root Beer Float and the list goes on.. I ate even though I was full to the brim, probably gained 50kg from all that food.
The land cruiser wasn't around so we had to drive 2 cars around on the second day. I got to drive an rx-8! :D The traffic there was insane. Red lights were ignored, motorbikes were everywhere. Cars tried to cut into my lane every 10 seconds.
At night we bought some crazy ass awesome fireworks! Like the real deal fireworks, the ones that go BOOM! and light up the sky with pretty colours! No chinese new year sparkler bullshit. It was pretty amazing, I felt like a kid lighting up the fireworks and running away as fast as I could. We almost got hit and shot at by the blasts which was pretty funny :/
When we got back to Singapore, we went to the same place again to play Left4Dead, this time Tommi joined us. Balanced 4v4 = 10x the fun. Another 4+ hours of Left4Dead with chicken chops and orange juice till 3am. Finally took a cab back home.
I'm mortal again.
