Water Sports @ Batam - 12 to 14 December 2008

I managed to get a room for the weekend at Harris Resort Batam. I had no idea what was there to do, just it's affordable and something new, so why not. Mass invited my friends and wa-la 9 people were on their way to Batam.
4 of us went ahead first on Friday and were amazed by the large room which had a view of the pool. We looked for entertainment for the following day when the other 5 will turn up. We went to recce the resort and found high obsticle course, fishing, co-kart and spa. But we decided to go for water sports instead to cater for everyone. We spent the night at bowling at the candle-lit alley where all the lights were dimmed, followed by relaxing by the pool under the moon and stars.
The rest joined us the following day. After a hearty lunch at the restuarant and majong which they rented, we went to the water sport facilities. We had a package for para-sailing, jet ski, kayat and bananaboat for only S$50. It was very fun, esp. the bananaboat and para-sailing! The guys went to the pool after the water sports.
We ended the night with a buffet by the candle-lit pool with a life band playing for us and bowling. The last I remembered was people chatting on the bed beside mine. I fell asleep almost immediately after returning back to the room. Guess I was too tired. =p

9 of us were staying in a room 'illegally', however, there were 2 king beds and a sofa. I can't remember how the other slept, but I'm sure they enjoy the trip!
