Spent a night in Bintan. For me, the objective was to relax and for him, it was to get a tan! But the main objective for us , is definitely to spend some private time with each other before he flys back to England next week.
Dearie was so eager to get a tan, I would use the word DESPERATE. He tried all ways and ceased all opportunities to "absorb" the sun. The gloomy weather nearly drove him nuts. Overall, the result was not too bad with only 3 hours at the pool this morning... Its just his luck, the last time we were in Batam, it was rainy too! For me, I only need minutes to get a tan. Like what one of my friend once described - my pigments are already "chao ta" - so thats why I absorb the sun so well! We also discovered that the colors on him comes out quite slowly, we only see the results when we are back home. In fact, he is feeling heaty and burnt now!
Trips to places like Bangkok and HK always leaves me more tired due to the shopping, crowds and pollution. I enjoy short retreats to beach resorts like that as it leaves me time to relax and recharge. Though it was merely 2days and 1night in Nirwana Gardens, it was saisfying and enjoyable.
We took time to have good meals, to stroll, chat, read, sun-tan, swim, rest ... we took things slowly and as always, talked a lot. The feeling is fantastic - not having to answer to anyone else, ignore all phone calls, sleep and eat as we wish and did things at our own relaxing pace.
The meals were good. We had pizza for lunch yesterday and had a lovely dinner at the Kelong Restaurant for dinner. We managed to get a table by the edge of the Kelong. We enjoyed the view, the breeze and the good food (it was Szechuan Chicken, Ma Po Tofu & Sambal Prawn). During dinner, we made a pact that we will continue to have our regular retreats and couple time even when kiddos come along! Even spoke about where to "dump" the kiddos when we need to getaway!
Breakfast was not too great as he was speculating if it would rain, if the clouds will go or if the sun would penerate though those dark clouds! Man!
Lunch was hamburger for him and nasi goreng for me. In between, we had 2 mocktails in the pool's bar. Soaking in the sun with a ice cold drink and looking at the horizon with you love one is an amazing feeling - I wish I could indulge in this more often!
As I type away, I could feel the headache setting into me. Must be the sun ... Dearie is already sleeping... Ciaos.
