aroh,
Bali is ok. It's rainy season is not so bad. For Phuket, once it's monsoon, it'll rain all the time and all water activites will be canceled. And the main draw for Phuket is it's beaches and snorkeling, so really no point to go during rainy season.

I went once in Oct (during Star Cruise and it only stops there for a day) and it was raining the whole day... Sigh! But we went for Star Cruise, not for the land excursions la so it's ok. =p

I went again last Jan. I love it so much!!! We rented a car and explored on our own. Definitely worth going back again!!!

xiaokeai,
Hehehe! =)

Anyway, I have no idea regarding the shopping area leh. Never been to Batam. What's there to buy at Batam? Go there relax relax and go for spa is shiok enough liao. =)

saggiegirl> hee... the geomancer master calculated our parents' and our bazi and this is the 2nd choice of auspicious date for us on a Saturday, the rest are either weekdays, if not year of Tiger which I cannot get married. We have made an appointment with the hotel (Swissotel The Stamford) and will be going down to book this Fri! :D

His next trip wld be next Fri till March! *sob* I'm studying part time too, so really stressed up and I can feel it now ler.

xiaokeai,
$40 more for lunch and dinner, I think it's more worth it to take the $225 package. Coz hotel's lunch and dinner usually costs more than that.

You can really consider Kota Kinabalu. Airfare is around S$120-$150 if you take Jetstar. Room at Shangri-la is about RM510 per night (ard S$214).

aroh,
He likes to walk around and try different shots everywhere, so am thinking if got a 2nd PG, then you'll be able to capture the moments that he missed lor. He's a super nice and enthusiastic guy.

ok all sent.Ur r most welcome.

Xiaokeai,u can take a cab to batam centre to do some shopping.but nothing much to shop there really.Maybe juz some made in Indonesia Polo Ralph.But Mani n Padi is cheap there.There's one at Batam centre.Oni cost S$11 for french Pedi. Then can go for a seafood dinner at this popular place,dunno isit golden prawn or golden something,before u head back to hotel.

Lalaa, we've been to this resort called Baumanburi in Phuket.It's located at Patong beach.Nice big rms n hv pool access. U can practically jump into pool from ur room balcony. Not too far from the beach n near to their nightlife street,Bangra street.

Xiaokeai,i tink might hv a little difference. But agency will bk ferry tix n everything together so less hassle. But again, it's easy to get e ferry tix.Can juz go to harbourfront to buy over the counter.

If private swimming pool is a must, then go Bintan lo. Coz like in S'pore, the pool villa costs something ard S$1k+ to S$2k per night lor. Super ex. I'll email you the packages for Banyan Tree Bintan and Indra Maya.

Lalaa, they dun hv cottages. If u wan cottage or standalone huts,i've been to this Tipa Resort in Krabi. Not too bad.But its not the luxurious type.Its more like a hut in e middle of greenery ard. A back to nature feel. But still clean n airconditioned and relaxing.

Yah, Phuket is filled with angmohs.

I stayed at BYD Lofts serviced apartments while in Phuket. http://www.bydlofts.com/

Here's the map: http://www.bydlofts.com/map.html
It's just in front of Andaman Beach Suites and very convenient. You can walk to the beach - 5 to 10 min.

It was only S$220 or so per apartment per night. I got pics of the apartment here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=17875&l=56a6c&id=614955818

and here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=17884&l=ff455&id=614955818

Anyway, if going to Phuket, never go for any of the resorts/hotels at Laguna Phuket coz they are super far from town and super inconvenient.
