*edit* erm.. some things u might want to bring
1. passport (if u nvr bring, den i really cannot help you. lol.)
2. sunblock (beach mah)
3. swimming attire ( unless u don intend to, which i dont advise)
4. anything that you think can add to the fun (mahjong, ps2/3/4/5/6, psp, DS, junyu and chris bringing guitar, zhikai bringing soccer ball, junyu bringing volleyball)


hey all,

i've been doing a lot of research okay, since last night and this afternooon. i slept at 3am okay. (okay i'm whining. sorry. lol.)

okay anyway, i've been checking out the forums, and i've narrowed down the things that u all can do from that list that daphne posted.


the picture that i posted is what i got from one of the forums. i think it gives a rough guide of the prices. its from one of the resorts, but i guess probably the resorts are all the same price. they look OKAY to me lar. i mean, don talk about the sailing and the hydrocross(whatever that is) stuff lor. snorkelling seems quite fun!

*edit* i found this on another site. Badminton On Site (free of charge)Volleyball/Beach-Volleyball On Site (free of charge)Billiards On Site (with costs)Archery/Shooting On Site (with costs)Boats to Rent On Site (with costs)Bike Rental On Site (with costs)Golf Course On Site (with costs)Running/Inline Skating Track On Site (free of charge)Sailing On Site (with costs)Surfing On Site (with costs)Tennis Court On Site (with costs)Hiking Trail On Site (free of charge)Diving On Site (with costs)Table Tennis On Site (free of charge). but i still think somehow the games wont cost too much.




Eating
clubs (not really clubbing i think, its more like pubs for people to sit down to relaxing, from what i gather from the sites)

Beachside Cafe of Angsana Resort & Spa (they say there's bbq at night)

Kelong Restaurant (seems to be quite popular in the forums)

activities

bicycle trekking (its basically u get a guide, and they cycle and bring u around the island)

sunbathing and beach activities (beach volleyball, soccer, swimming in the sea all free. But i'm pretty sure the activities like wind surfing etc. will need money)

tanjung pinang ($50, 90 mins there, 6 hours there, hire car and driver. Its a local area, so basically its where the locals live. It usually will take up on entire day. In case u guys are not sure, the resort area is a special economic zone, meaning its separated from the rest of the island. I read one post in the forums saying that they actually have the military guarding the resort area. :s)

archery

tennis (i think this would only appeal to some. If i'm not wrong, this would probably be free if u guys bring your own rackets and balls)

banana boat (my sis tried before she says its quite fun, not sure whats a banana boat though)

moutain trekking (for the more adventourous kind)

shopping tour (i'm quite skeptical about this, i go read the forums they always say they will bring u to this place called pasar oleh oleh thats a tourist trap)

swimming and jacuzzi (free)

kayaking (everybody seems to say its pretty fun, but i think chris will violently object. Lol.)

all kinds of sports activities (i checked, most of them are pretty cheap apparently. If u don havt the equipment, u can loan.)

as for how much money to bring, i would say $350 would be enough. okay this is my estimate arh, im not saying that all of u must bring $350. breakfast is provided everyday. but lunch and dinner have to get ourselves. i was thinking maybe to save money, we can save on the lunch, sitll thinking of how though. and btw this post is not complete yet, im still ironing out details. will edit this post again later.

and one more thing, the ferry terminal is at tanah merah terminal. sorry for the mix up last night. i'll tell u guys when to meet again. *edit* lets meet at 8.30 at tanah merah mrt, because we need to check in at 9.30. the trip takes an hr from the mrt to the terminal.
