HELLO! im back from my batam trip. didn’t take a lot of photos cos’ batam really look like singapore in a way. just that singapore quite developed. the resort i stayed was Batam View and it is great!
if you guys want to go batam in future you can go to batam view for your stay. they have sea sports, swimming pool, massage service and many other fun things. its a pity we are all too lazy to try it out. went there to relax and the resort villa i stayed in is super good. the toilet is sooo nice and in front of me is the sea. every morning i wake up i see the sea!!
anyway, i feel so fortunate living in singapore. there is a inflation at batam and everything cost thousands of dollars(rupiah). so their 100rupiah is worthless. S$1 = 6810rupiah. we people living in singapore can take bus, train and taxi with AIR CON or if you have a better living you own a car that belong to you. fetching your friends up and down in singapore. for people in batam what i see is many people squeeze in cars and van. there are also motorcycles with 4 people sitting on it. i was like “omg, we don’t even see this in sg” they aren’t complaining at all! hence, we are really fortunate to live in such a good environment. at least we go school , live at proper house, have air-condition transports, computer(s) to use, television to watch and many other things that a lot of poorer people in batam cannot afford. because of this trip it change my mind in buying branded stuffs. i should be less materialistic. so what i come back with a spoil everlast bag? (well, dad says he will give me $ to buy) i shall start buying cheaper stuffs. i will start finishing my food even if its really bad. i will start being more grateful to the things i have and not throw my temper when things doesn’t go in my way. i have to admit that i throw my temper cos’ i didn’t finish shopping and we gotta go. i totally regret! well well, i am very spoilt. *sobs*
anyways, STOP SPENDING ON EXPENSIVE STUUFS PEOPLE! there are always the poor to help! you no need to travel all the way to batam! just in singapore.
you can always donate to those charity cans(though u might not know its a fraud but just do your part), buy tissues from old uncle and aunty, donate to those people that really need help instead of spending your money in shops. i am going to start donating $$. :D
