Hair change & Batam

21st April | Monday

So a few days after the stay cation, me & Dina decided to go dye our hair. & we did!

 Dina went for purple hair for the bottom half of her hair while I went for a full head red. I've been meaning to have red hair for awhile now. Though by now, it has faded quite abit. okay maybe a lot.

28th April | Saturday

Went on a trip to Batam on that week!

 well, my workplace looking good from afar.
 on the ferry!
 I survived that ferry ride to & fro without feeling seasick. Lol, my seasickness just comes & go.
 At the Sekupang terminal in Batam. Right after reaching there, we had our tour. I never toured in Batam before, so this was a first. 
 First try at the monopod! haaaa
 Much better! But I really find it weird when pictures shows the rod...
 After half a day of touring to places, mostly shops selling snacks, we finally settled at some seafood place for dinner. For the most part of the tour, I was mostly sleeping on the bus. I went out when I was awake, tried food testers, went back on the bus & slept. 
 I was also mostly exploring on my own & taking random pictures there.
 Anywhere with water below always looks nice.

 family touristy photo!
 then we had some Kuda Kepang (not sure if I spelled it right) performance.
These performances still freaks me out a little. It's the music & the dance...
 Performers being fish eyed. They also ate glass & fire. & went through a hoop of fire. 

 and by nightime, we finally got to our hotel! For a $70 tour package, the hotel was pretty decent. Good even.

27th April | Sunday

Woke up early for breakfast. Best part about holidays is going for breakfast unshowered, no makeup & in pjs. Don't tell me you guys don't do that. But of course brushing the teeth & washing the face is a must.

 Good morning!

 Mandatory photo on the bed! I don't know how them other girls look all nice and pretty taking selfies on beds. While I had to snap a ton for my double chin not to show. hmm...can.
 THIS, MY FRIENDS IS THE LEGIT MEE BAKSO! YUMM!
 A close up shot to make you guys hungry.
Of course, with every bakso, you MUST have it with their signature Avocado or how they call it Alpukat.

end of trip!

Speaking of trips, I'm packing for another trip tonight. This time to KL! well, I wouldn't say I'm packing, I only took out the bag I'm carrying.

This week, I worked for 4 days! (That's a lot for me being a barista) I deserve this break! & I will go swimming and be well fed.

Also! I've officially worked at my Starbucks for 2 months! That's quite an accomplishment. I honestly didn't think I'd stay this long. I thought I would only last a week lol. Cheers to more friendships forged & experiences created!

Have a great weekend all!
