Ordered freshly made Kueh Lapis at $25 each. Had alot of fun at Illusion museum. 

 

And BCS shopping, we manage to Tabao dinner at BCS loving heart :) the guys went shopping for new shirts. Lastly we bought mushroom & vegetables for cooking the next day. 
Our dinner which only cost us $15 :D

 

Check in was fast and had a briefing by the staff.

Didn't took much pictures of the resort, anyw you can google it yourself :P Resort 30 is our bungalow it's super near to the reception but long walk for breakfast daily.  


   

Our last activity of the day, swimming at our own private pool. And the guys trying very hard to pump the float with their lungs. 

  

Day 2
Breakfast at restaurant.  We had quite a variety, Roti Prata, Porridge, Eggs, Bread/Pastry/Cereal very yummy to start our day!  

 

 

So off we go for our exploring~ 
We just follow google map & walked 25 mins from our resort to this aqua adventure water park. 
Got the details from : http://thesmartlocal.com/read/batam-things-to-do 
Basic Entrance Fee: 35,000 Rp & Track Fee 30 mins 75,000 Rp / 60 mins 120,000 Rp
Well we bought the 60 mins, thinking we will need that amount of time. But guys! 30 mins is definitely enough already.. And they even provide locker services & basic washing facilities. And we were grateful for the group of friendly locals who agree to drive us back to our resort *感恩* 

 

Back to our resort, time to prepare lunch! This must be where we gain our 2kg!

  

Rest & Relax for the afternoon & then at 2.30pm head our for our Tilo Treasure Hunt ($30,000+ Rp) 
We each got ourself a Tilo Chick as consolation prize. 

 




Kampong Bike Tour ($60,000+ Rp) And we got all drench in the rain ~.~' 

 

  

and we decided not to have maggie mee for dinner, we head our to TADD again~
$21,000+ for vegetarian fried rice & noodle :) and walking around the recreation area.. 

They got a gym which apparently nobody using, a swimming pool also empty, table tennis, darts, foosball blah blah... =.="

 

Our activity for the night is LEPAK! Watched Hunger Games in the living room & eating chips~

Supper is soup with lettuce & broccoli & mushroom & abalone & baiye tofu! 

Day 3

Rise & Shine, not much of activity planned for today just swimming.. We cannot decide whether to go all the way to the common pool or at the private pool, end up we pick the later, since we already paid for that~  And a pleasant birthday cake surprise from the resort~

 

And goodbye montigo, we had a private bus from 168 tour agency to picked us & sent us to Batam Centre.

No vegetarian food in that mall :( lucky got pizza hut sia! Personalize pizza we had.. 

Another incident, whereby we reach the harbor at 2plus but our ferry was 3.20pm, so this crew approached us, asking if we wanna go for the 2.20pm ferry, he can made arrangement just give him some money for coffee ($5,000 Rp) =.=" and we manage to leave early :X

_________________________________________________________

It was a very memorable trip going on a holiday with my favorite guys! Happy 30 birthday Mr Chee!

Hope that you enjoy the trip as much as Mr&MrsChng does! 
We should mingle & talk more sia~ Seems like we tend to speak out more during our meals~ 
So no more overseas trip but just makan session alright! 
Once in a lifetime to visit Montigo is enough for me! Way tooo costly.. 
Perhaps in future when i have kids & they asked about why we 3 went Montigo Resort together i can plan a trip to re-visit with my parents~

Letter of Offer

Thursday, January 05, 2017
To: New xXxXx Employees
... ...
... ...

I hope you are as excited about this as I am, and I look forward to a bright future together. 

Composed on 9/1/2017
Ever since the drastic drop in oil prices last year, the global oil and gas industry has been facing a difficult and complicated future. This has inevitably impacted the Group’s Offshore RBU.
... ...
... ...
In order to continue serving customers and stay relevant to stakeholders, the Group has determined that it is necessary to seek synergies with a similar organisation in order to retain competence and critical mass. As such, it has entered into an agreement with the American-based company xXxXx, Inc. for xXxXx to take over part of the Jebsen and Jessen Offshore business.

With this change, a number of colleagues will get a new employer. The management team is working closely with xXxXx to ensure that the employment transfer proceeds as smoothly as possible and that fair employment terms will be maintained. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to retain all positions and some job roles will disappear. The management understands that this can be very painful to those affected and will ensure that the process is handled with care and fairness.



Have submitted my letter of resignation, had a really wonderful experience throughout the 2.5 years with JJ. Thank you for the opportunity and guidance given to me! 
I could only pray and hope for the better with effect from 1st Feb 2017... 

Change

The drastic change is gonna take place anytime soon..

I would like to go on a solo trip to calm my mind then restart~
God bless!

迈向理想标准化，要实现十方，只是口头讲不行，你得用无为的心具体做出来。

Endau Rompin; Retreat with JIEDE

Most grateful that was able to participate in the discussion trip with DCS and fellow TZs.
Many laughter holding on the pillar. A common point is that communication is very important.
One take home message for myself is 勇于承担 no point talking so much but not taking actions.

We had our Yummy Breakfast @ 天下佛堂

After 2 hrs of bus ride & 1 hr on Jeep we finally arrived!

Rounds of discussion until past Midnight

Our Cosy Hostel for the Night :)

The next morning getting close with NATURE

Kampong Hut

The ladies were all tired n they still can play table tennis =.="

YEAH! With the much positive energy charged from the trip JIEDE JIAYOU!
