Welcome 2008

What better way to celebrate New Year's Eve than to spend the weekend taking in the sight of the sunset and enjoying the sea breeze....... indeed a marvelous way to bid goodbye to 2007, and to welcome 2008 !!

We rented a beach villa at Batam View Resort - which came with two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and a balcony facing the ocean... it was undeniably a sight to behold. Getting to Batam was a bit of a challenge though - it involved taking a one-hour ferry ride to Batam (some of us fell seasick, but to avoid embarrassment I wouldn't say who !! haha), afterwhich took another 2 hours to get us properly checked-in to our villa due to the expectedly large touristy crowd (it was after all the eve of New Year's Day).



Moving around the Batam View Resort was fun and enjoyable- we had to ride in a 'buggy', similar to the ones used around the golf course..... a "first-time" for Chloe...


As with any holiday - the group family photo is a must-have !!



The two girls enjoying the sea breeze..... (Mummy - wouldn't the strong wind blow me away ??)


Hey gorgeous !

Smiling widely for the camera.... (Mummy - why didn't you tell me my hair was in a mess !!.. haha)


One for the album...... goodbye 2007, it's been a fabulous year !
