My most viewed photo in Flickr

Just found out that one of my photos in Flickr had 188 views! It's the one which I took during the Singapore Arts Festival in 2001. Also it's been selected for a photo book project called "Treasures Of The Dragon" ... that's great news.

Trip to Batam during National Day Weekend

Just came back from a short weekend getaway to Batam. Stayed at Holiday Inn Resort (this is the second time I've been to Batam and both times stayed in the Holiday Inn Resort). Some pictures are uploaded to my flickr site.

It was fun indeed and there were funny and interesting moments too. Eg:

• Our luggage almost got lost. We alighted at Sekupang terminal instead of Waterfront City terminal. Also we thought the luggage handling process was similar to airports but we were wrong. As such we had to wait for our ferry to make its way back to Sekupang to get our luggage. Ironically Iffah sang impromptu a tune with the verses ".. jangan susah-susah kalau susah-susah tidak gunanya.." Translated: "Don't worry too much cos if you do it'll be of no use.." Speak of good timing! We had a laugh during that time..


• Iffah can do the handstand in the water!


• During a bus ride to Batam Centre, Iffah sang the kids song "Wheels of The Bus"! Hehe


• We noticed that in Batam you can have 4 people riding a small motorcycle!! I saw some people carrying babies and toddlers sandwiched between the adults. Quite scary I must say.


• Their hypermarts and huge! They have lots of stuff (eg imagine stocks of the same products from floor to ceiling!


• Iffah had so much fun playing in a kids area that her ibu almost got scared of heights! There was this kids play area where kids can crawl/walk/ etc and it is around 3 HDB storeys high! Iffah is not scared but ibu got scared!
