BaReLaNg

it's a very very very beautiful place where bridges joined up the islands (Batam, Tonton etc...) initially, we passed through a reservoir which is huge and beautiful... with the mountains surrounding it... not like bedok reservoir lor... at first i tot it was a lake... in the end, we checked and realised its a reservoir... the roads are very straight and few cars travelling... before left turn into the first bridge area, there are many stalls selling drinks and snacks... its a spectacular sight to see the first bridge... reminds me of the hongkong hsing ma bridge (if i nvr got the name wrong?) there's quite a bunch of ppl taking pictures... so we also alight from the car... OH NO! the wind is very STRONG and the worst thing is, mutsumi n i were wearing skirts... hahaha trying our best to smile and take picture despite our messy hair and hands busy pressing the flying skirts... -_-"

we passed by an island called pulau tonton... so easy to rem the name rite? den i got a stupid idea... i wanna stay in pulau tonton and set up a starbucks cafe... so ppl can get coffee from me... wahaha... he says i can only earn mutsumi's money which is very true... she's a coffee addict!! anyway tonton is very small... so only me can stay in the island... =)

we travelled for dunno how long to see the oncoming bridges... i see the blue blue sky with beautiful clouds following us... and the fields and wooden huts... somehow made me feel peaceful and happy... how are the ppl spending their life? maybe they nvr really use money? they only plant their own food and leave their fate to mother nature? i am very curious about their life... i wonder if they allow homestay? i wld like to stay for one day to experience a day without electricity, hp, internet etc... mutsumi asked me if i could take this kind of life... i really dunno? maybe living in singapore is too much a luxury? so much convenience tt we take for granted... tts why it wld be nice to experience this simple life and yet i suspect tt i probably cant spend my whole life like this... because i am already so used to my life in singapore... i feel insecured when i cant use my hp and internet? maybe its not just me but everyone?

in the end, we even went to a kelong to eat seafood when we dun have enuff money to? hahaha lucky he gotten discount from the person else i think we wld be helping them to wash bowls till night... =p the scenery is quite nice... though at some point in time, i feel like i am moving with the waves? haha it was low tide when we went off and managed to see some crabs crawling out from their breathing holes... those one arm big one arm small wan... :p

on the way home, i saw pretty clouds and forced him to stop the car so tt i can take a pic... haha dunno why i just love clouds so much... =) anyway i hope to go back to barelang again if i have the chance?

by the way, he went to some nice kelong without me... saw the pictures he took... really very beautiful... the sunset and everything!!! i wanna go kelong next time!!!~
