1st Wedding Anniversary - Bintan Trip (16-18 May)

How time flies! We have been married for a year! Indeed, being married is not necessarily a bed of roses. Happily ever after doesn't come easily..we have learnt that it takes effort to build a marriage and i'm glad that Dear and I have both "grown" over the past year and we are now better able to understand each other's needs, mindset and not to take each other for granted.

To celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary, we went on a short weekend trip to Bintan!

About to board the ferry:

Arriving in Bintan:

It was a very relaxing 3 days.......we stayed at Bintan Lagoon Resort:

Went swimming....this pool is actually quite nice :)


Went cycling......around the resort....to the beautiful golf course...

And also sun-tanning by the beach....



And the highlights was trying out the All Terrain Vehicle (ATV). It was a bit hard to control for me at the beginning but Dear was so excited about it so i just tried....haha! I was going so slowly that the instructor and Dear had to wait for me along the way.....then i got confident and started to go quite fast....quite thrilling going up and down slopes, uneven grounds, dusty/muddy ground....grass patches etc....and the engine went dead on me once....i bumped into tree logs, huge rocks etc like 3 times .... once i went over a huge rock, lost my balance and almost had the entire veheicle overturned on me....Dear was so worried wittnessing the scene from behind yet helpless! But Thank God! i emerged safe with a mere blue-black!

It was a great, relaxing and fun trip.....where we had time away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the routine of housework and work.....Thank God for blessing our marriage :)
