#1082: Montigo Day 3

Finally, here's the post on my last day at Montigo. Woke up feeling super sad because the past 3 days has been a dream come true in more ways than I can count and truth be told, I didn't want to go back home to face all the work that have been piling up in my absence :'(

Still in love with the view that my eyes feast upon every morning when I wake up.

We had breakfast at Tadd's but this time, we had a set meal instead of buffet breakfast. May be it was 'cuz there was an event happening later in the day and that the restaurant was only open for breakfast and was closed for the rest of the day.

We didn't do much after breakfast except to sit by the pool side and soak up the view (and take a nap as well hehe.)

How can I ever give this view up? No matter how many times I try to capture the colours of the place properly, no camera (either the DSLR or my iPhone) can capture it. And the colours in these photos are already super pretty.

And one last photo in the ferry before we headed back to Singapore.

I am truly blessed to be able to have a break in the little resort paradise that I've been wanting to go to ever since I have heard of it. It has been the most wonderful mini holiday. Been working hard for this and I'm so glad it was worth every second I spend at work.

Yet another end to a travelogue but hopefully I'll be able to travel more this year. Can't wait to head out on my graduation trip with my best girls hehe.

#1077: Montigo Day 2

My second day at Montigo was even better than my first because I literally got to wake up to an amazing view of the sea. And after all the awe died down, I could appreciate the view I had a lot more.

We woke up really early, like at 730am or so just for breakfast. I love waking up early for breakfasts. (But I am a terror to wake up 'cuz I get really grumpy and snap at everyone within reach just 'cuz I am tired and I value my sleep, hehe.) And also because how can you miss a single second of the awesome feeling of being on holiday and knowing that you don't have work to do at all.

We had breakfast at Todds and I really loved the HongKong style porridge! Loaded up the porridge with loads of salted eggs 'cuz I can never get enough of eggs.

Awesome view while we had our breakfast.

And because I really love the pool, what better way is there to spend time besides chilling by the pool side after breakfast? We were heading off to the mall at 10am so we had 1.5hours to kill.

Attempted to do some work under the sun because when do we actually have the time and opportunity to do so?

The shuttle bus journey to Nagoya mall took us about 1 hour and we had about 5 hours to spend there. Since we weren't hungry yet, we decided to walk around from the top floor down and we found ourselves at the arcade.

I love how cheap the games there were. Literally like S$0.10/game and I had a blast playing the "Spot the Difference" games.

Then we went shopping at the supermarket and I bought loads of random stuff like lip balms and yes, I bought toothbrushes as well just 'cuz everything was dirt cheap. Those 3 toothbrushes costed like probably S$1-2 if I'm not wrong?! Insane.

And we had lunch at A&W! Never tried it before in Singapore or Malaysia for that matter 'cuz I never knew what the whole hype about it was. And now that I tried it, I still don't know what's so special about it though.

And this cute little kitty came to hang out with us for a while. I love cats hehe.

There wasn't much to do there because I've honestly been to Nagoya 3 times in the past 6 months. Every time I go to Batam, I always find myself back in Nagoya so I was honestly pretty bored of the place already.

Slept all the way back to the hotel and only woke up because the bus driver was speeding up and down the roads and I was literally bouncing along with the bus.

And what did I do as soon as I got back to my villa?

HANG OUT BY THE POOL SIDE. #ALLDAYERRDAY literally.

Because we were too lazy to head out for dinner and also because we bought noodles in anticipation that we would be hungry at odd hours of the day, we decided to stay in and have noodles for dinner.

And guess who came ringing our door bell at night again!

More "origami" for us! This time in the shape of a turtle. They're really too sweet, too nice.

What's a holiday without some drinks (and we also had to finish the drinks we bought) and music by the pool side?

The older I become, the more I realize that alcohol doesn't make me feel high as much as it makes me feel sleepy. Guess who went straight to bed after a dip in the bathtub? #forevertired #whatsnew
