Came back from Club Med Bintan yesterday. What a refreshing trip. I feel invigorated all over. Suddenly, I have the urge to blog 100 entries! No, okay, not that energised. I think I'll just stick to one.
Anyway, Club Med was fun. I went with my mom, my Godma and my cousin, Angie. First day there was good, we arrived at about 10.30, so we dashed off for late breakfast, and after a brief rest, for Lunch. Mmm... Good food there. :D Then we went off to go sailing. I learnt how to operate a sailboat, it's actually quite simple. Then again, the wind was more or less dying down. After that, we went swimming... Yeah, yeah, not what I wanted to do on a holiday, but Angie forced me to! Also, there's not much else to do after sailing. I wanted to Kayak, but the place closed, so I had to settle for swimming.
Went over to the archery range the next day, got a huge bruise, cause the line kept hitting the uncovered part of my arm. I also shot one arrow through the net behind after I missed horrendously. We tried to go look for it, but we couldn't find it. Oops. On the other hand, I got one arrow into the bull's eye. Yay!
I also went SCUBA Diving, really cool. I got to see this baby Manta Ray sleeping under some rocks.The fishes and coral were really, really beautiful, too. And it was really fun, because when you inhale and rise, the air inside you expands, so you can rise just by doing that or fall by exhaling. Just have to be careful not to inhale fully, cause you can seriously injure yourself with the expanding air.
That's about it, really, I didn't do very many activities, but then, I was there more for rest. The shows the put on were good. The Trapeze act, called stars, cause it was under the stars... There was also a very funny lipsync competition by the people there. They dressed up to look like 5 different artists, ABBA, M. Jackson, Figaro, Queen and Madonna.
The stars were also amazing. Back here in Singapore you cn only see a handful. In fact, you could probably count them and not reach 20 or 30. But there, wow, it's a LOT better.
