Back from my short short break to Batam. Stayed at the harris batam (http://www.harris-batam.com/). Hotel was a little old (they’re building a new extension now) but the spa was recently renovated and the price unbeatable. $218 for a 4 hour spa, and get this, 1-for-1 for the month of September.

Anyway, we went for 2 4-hour sessions and learned the following:
- Hot and cold stone massage sounds better then it actually is. The stones were either too hot or too cold
- If the water level in your jacuzzi keeps dropping, it’s not magic. Check if someone stepped on the draining plug and accidentally dislodged it.
- 4 hours is a long time.
- Short thin women are actually quite strong and can give rather painful massages.

The recently renovated spa basically occupied the top floor of the building and consisted of a bunch of individual massage huts with curtains and bamboo blinds separating each other and basically each hut is built for 2 persons (couple huts). During one of the sessions, we heard 2 guys in the hut behind us. From their conversation, I guess they were having the complimentary spa and did not know it was actually a couple hut. So two guys in a couple hut having a massage and then they realise that there is only 1 jacuzzi which they had to SHARE. Thats when they couldn’t stop giggling and one of them loudly proclaims “Wo zhe meh gen wo de lau po jiao dai” (translated: what am I going to tell my wife).

Other thing we overheard was a couple making out in another hut. The girl couldn’t keep her ah-hem, volume down. It got cut off real quick when the masseur came by to tell them their time was up. She switched from moaning to “hang on, we’re still changing” real quick.




P.S. Coffee soda sounds better then it tastes.

Oyster n eggs, originally uploaded by wantunn.

I wouldn’t touch oysters (well, actually I’m not sure if it’s oysters or some other random shellfish) with a 10 ft pole but the egg n sauce are actually pretty good.

After putting it off for about 2 years, I finally went to the dentist for my regular check.
The good:
The dentist was very accommodating to my “I’m allergic to pain” request.
The bad:
Randomly had one upper wisdom tooth extracted (another 3 days MC.. how to take?) and 2 fillings. Told to go back for another lower wisdom tooth extraction (surgery! 5 days MC) and another 2 filling. Apparently the last dentist who told me I could leave my wisdom tooth as is didn’t quite check that it was coming out horizontally.
The silver lining:
At least I now know that I can still blog while jazzed up on painkillers. Oh, and I can’t feel my nose.

First time being delayed 4 hours…
First time getting diverted to a another airport…
First time in a city getting bombed…
and now…
First time getting my card canceled due to disputed charges…

This is way to funny http://failblog.org/

Finally got my office phone upgraded (long story) yesterday with a spanking new unit.
Today, I get back to my desk and realise the UI says JUL10. It took me a couple of minutes before figuring out who JUL10 was.
