I had very less time in india after my wedding, so couldnt plan for Honey moon elsewhere. After landing singapore.. was planning to relax somewhere out of singapore. It took again 2 months to decide and this place fits into my mind. Finally me and priya decided and started from singapore on 23rd saturday early monrning to tanah Merah and took a Ferri to Bintan Island. Nearly 1 hour journey -- and finally reached the land across the sea and checked in the hotel at around 10 in the morning. Quickly had the breakfast and rushed to the swimming pool and had a nice swim until 12 noon.. Got back to the room and had Lunch. Afternoon we planned for the All Terrain Vehicle (A 4 wheeler) to roam around adventure spots, but unfortunately it was raining and we couldnt do it and missed the fun... We walked towards beach to spend the rest of the afternoon ... here comes the fortune.. we saw the Jet Ski (Water Scooter) and took one and started riding on sea. (SGD 75 for 30 min). The most memorable ride i ever had in my life. a very thrilling experience. The next day we had a good breakfast in teh hotel and cehcked out in the morning and moved out for roaming with the cam. After noon went for Mangrove Forest tour an adventurous ride in the backwaters.... giving an experience rowing into jungle like the one in National Geography channel kind of experience. At last.. after all such activities the ferri back to singapore relaxed us a complete short vacation.. biased for the fresh week ahead.

All our Team mates - had the thirst for a better health, as the tummy grew up.... we decided to meet every saturday morning at any one place, not only to walk , but to talk something else apart from work too. The first week we met at Punggol Park and ran 2 to 3 rounds. Few were not so comfortable to jog or walk anyway and so we decided to swim in alternate weeks.
