Pursuit of life's beauty: hApPy 24th Birthday to Me! (Part 1)

(My haPpy BirthdaY meal!^^)

Following the Valentine's Day celebration in my previous post, we went back to our room as we spend the night counting down to my 24th Birthday to come! I learnt a new game that night too!!Texas!!

It was torturing for me cos' I kept losing...look at the no of peanuts in my pathetic plate vs to Dar's big big plate that he won!!Whoever loses all his/her peanuts will have to drink up!!So not tough to guess who lost right? hahax...

(Texas Time!)

Then the cake came a little late, but we just waited! and finally Bella's birthday cake came!!! Dar sang me my haPpy birthday song and though the cake there was not the best I had, I still love it cos' it's Dar with me!! I blew the candles, received my birthday kiss from Dar...and so sweet was the start of my 24th birthday!

(There it wrote "Happy Birthday Chou Baobei"!Awww....)

(Me with my fruity birthday cake!)

(Dar and me...haPpy birthday to me!)

The next morning, we woke up just in time for our buffet breakfast! The restaurant which we had our buffet breakfast was different from the one we had ours when we went there the previous time. This time round, the view was soooo much more beautiful...by the pool which is by the beach! I love it soooo much!! And that morning was the first time I saw the sea bed drying up...we could actually walk far out to the sea cos' of the drying up of sea bed...but before that...we enjoyed the breakfast first!!

(Some pics of our breakfast!)

(Here's the view from the breakfast spot...)

(The water left the sea bed exposed...)

And then we walked down to the beach...by the time we finished our breakfast, the water is slowly filling up the sea bed already...but it was still shallow. I love how the whole sea presents itself before us, without much obstruction in the view...the breeze and the warm sun! I felt...maybe...everything else dusson matter to me anymore at that moment! I just wanted to hug Dar, dip my feet into the sand beneath the cool water and enjoy the wind on my face!

(I'm walking towards freedom~)

(lovin' the sea~)

(The simple surroundings...)

(Us!)

(Bella on the big stone and the process of getting up and down from it...hahax...all by Dar~)

We went back to our room for some rest shortly after...and then went for our foot reflexology beside the beach!! Inside the comfortable shelter, we had the whole blue sky and sea before us as we enjoy the foot massage. Full 30 mins but it just dusson feel enough!

(The view from inside our foot reflexology spot!It's really very relaxing!)

(Us at the foot reflex~)

After the foot reflexology, we went for our lunch..or rather it's my birthday meal to be exact!!hee heex...

(My lovely pink guava juice, Dar's fav rice, my beloved babay kai lan, stir-fried garlic prawns, the uber nice butter-oat crab and chilli crab!!)

Totally can't bear to leave the place, but we just had to eventually! Took some last look around the place while waiting for the bus to be here to drive us to the ferry terminal...

(Before we left the room, I just had to hug my piilllowww cos I love it so much..it's so comfy!hahax...)

(Random pics of the surroundings...)

(Us once again...)

(My most beloved pool view~)

After a rather long ride on the bus, we finally reached the ferry terminal! Went up the boat...and thank God for the nice weather, we get to sit at the upper deck of the boat. The view along the journey back home was lovely...as it was around 6pm plus, the sun was setting as we set off...and slowly the sky turned dark...and stars started to sparkle. Out in the dark ocean, Dar's company plus the stars and a can of Carlsberg kept me entertained!

(Smiling goodbye to Bintan~*Thank you Dar Dar!*)

(The beautiful sunset before our eyes when we're on the upper deck of the boat...)

(Love the pinkish skies~)

And upon reaching Singapore, we quickly made our way home! We parted with a kiss in the cab...and Bella was on her way back home to celebrate her birthday with her family!!
