We proceed to clear custom and entered the waiting lounge. Jason and I headed towards the DFS. We bought quite a few types of liquor. We bought a bottle Martell, a bottle of Rum (or was it Vodka), a bottle of Baileys 3 bottle of red wine and I bottle of sparkling wine. After purchase, we kind of wonder if we had over done ourself.
Can we possibly empty so much liquor in our bodies?
Soon it was time to board the vessel. The ferry was quite empty, almost 50 percent empty. We took the fore section, the girls were sited side by side still chatting away happily. Jason and I nearly snooze out before the vessel even left Singapore.
Nearly half way through the journey, I woke up. Jason was snoring loudly. Jasmine and May was no where in sight. Guess they must went to the upper deck. I was a little hungry, but I decided against buying some lousy snack on board. We should have a feast in the resort. So I tug into the snack bag and helped myself with some potato chips.
I somehow manage to empty half a canister. Goodness. I must be really hungry. The girls finally return with messy hairs, must be the sea breezes. They sat down, also helped themselves with the chips. Guess everyone is hungry.
Jasmine: some one hand and legs very fast hor, already bring May home to meet your mother. I am warning you, you better don't break her heart or else I will break your bones, one by one.
me: off course. It's usually girls breaking my heart not my bone. Dun worry, I will take good care of her, she will be my princess from now on.
(I grabbed May's hand to signal my sincerity)
May smile at me in return of my words and promise to cherish her.
Jasmine: Ok Ok, i trust that you will, thats the reason why I intro her to you. I will leave you two love birds alone. Honey wake up! You are snoring again, We are also almost upon the resort.
I continue to hold on to May's hand. The feeling was great. It felt like the Earth is spinning because of our love.
Soon we reached the Bintan Resort Terminal. We waited for May to get her VOA, to make things easier, her passport has something extra between the pages, beside the USD25.00
Apparently, that is not the only something extra we had to give, the liquor gave some reason for them to make some trouble, they insist that there is too many bottles. We negotiated down to 2 pieces of Pink note.
The resort send over a mini bus to pick us up, we were the only pessenger on board this ferry. As this was our first trip here, we were a little lost. The driver was able to give us some simple intro. He inform us that he has a friend that is available for hired, if we would like to venture out of the hotel. He pass us his freind's name card before letting us off the mini bus. We gave him a little tip.
Checking in was no problem. Jason took care of it.
Jason: here's your room key card. Lets meet here in the lobby in what? 20 mins.
Me: okie.
The porter quickly help us with our bags to the rooms. We were in 2 different blocks, we have to walk pass their block before getting to ours. It was a quick walk, the porter must have thought we were just married, he kept asking Honey moon? Honey moon?
We arrived in the room, on the 2nd floor, it was a garden view room. I send the porter on his way not before giving him a little tip. He was all happy and reply: mister, if you need my help, please call concierge and asked for Mike (or Mikey, or Michael), I recommend you the best masseur here.......blah blah blah.
I thanked him, promised to look him up and showed him the door.
The room was quite huge, later I found out that we were staying in a suit. All thanks to Jason. May was in the balcony. It was already dark despite the lighting from the pool on the far side. We cannot view the sea or the beach, but we can hear the sound of the shore clashing sea waters. I hugged May from behind as she stood on the balcony. She lightly struggled breaking free from my hug, turned around and hugged me. I kissed her on her fore head, we stood in the balcony happily in each others arm. After a short while, May led me into the room. She started unpacking our belongings. I stored the "provision" on the shelf and the wine into the small fridge. I admire her while she was busy with our clothing, in my mind, I was wondering if she is the one. The one that I will spend the rest of my life with her, holding our hand till we depart from this earth? She is so caring and sweet. I am sure she will make a perfect wife and a good mother.
My thought was cut short when the room telephone rang, Jason called and ask If we are ready. I replied yup.
We ended up having dinner in the Kelong Seafood Restaurant. The food was all right but the company was out of this world. After dinner, we retire to the lounge for a free cocktail welcome drink. We were all discussing on what should we do tomorrow. It was late so we cannot do much tonight. As we were all having different ideas and with the welcome drinks depleted, we decided to go back to our room to continue our conversation and started with our provisions.
We started with the Martel, we dialed room services for soda water, ices and some lemon. After like 30 minutes into our discussion and not so many helping of our poison, we heard thunder, it was beginning to rain. Hahaha, all the planning to go for banana ride, kayaking, scuba diving ..... all go down the drain if it continues to rain. So we decided to make plans during breakfast. We started playing cards, the big 2 game. I suck in the game, I personally have more than 10 helping. While Jasmine came up the winner. The rain doesn't seems to ease, it continues to pour and show no sign of easing. Jason and Jasmine decided to call it the night, before leaving the room, Jason asked us not to be too loud.
We are finally alone in our "honeymoon" suit. We were all a little typsy aft the generous of helping to the Martel, it was almost empty. We shortly ourself in each others arm again. We started kissing, we could taste alcohol in each other's mouth. Our hands were roaming each others back as we continue to french.
May wants to shower first, but separately. Owwwwwwww, it's ok, all good things will come eventually. While she was taking the shower, I decided to cleaned up the room a little, especially our snacks and the liquor cups and ice tub.
I dimmed the light, selected a soft pop radion station. Did I mention that the room service crew scattered some flower pedals on the king size bed. it is perfect. Good atmosphere.
