batam - last day

without realising it, here comes the last day in batam.

after having our breakfast, we went back to the hotel and start to pack our things.

a last photo before leaving the hotel room:




upon completion of the check-out procedure, we embarked on our batam sight-seeing tour. first of all, we went shopping.

i bought a pirated set of argentina away soccer jersey for myself. it only cost me 20 sing dollars. should have bought a few more sets, since they are so cheap, and they look very real.





i also bought two sets of couple wear for me and darling. i love the words on the t-shirt. haha.





besides shopping, we went to pray at places of worship.

first, is the biggest buddha temple in batam, where it has a super big and tall buddha statue.




the temple also has a statue of 关公,who is also known as 关羽 or 关云长. he is my favourite character in "romance of the three kingdoms". i admire him not only for his bravery and tremendous fighting capability on the battlefield, but most importantly his own character. he has his own set of strict principles and moral values, and treats the word 义 with utmost importance. 对身边的朋友兄弟肝胆相照,从不忘恩负义。i believe this kind of 气概 is what everybody should emulate.





secondly, and lastly, is the biggest dua pek gong temple in batam.



-------------------------------------------------

with that, marks the end of my batam trip, with happy memories.

i definitely dun mind going to batam again. :)
