sticks and stones may break my bones but leather and chains excite me











Batam for the weekend was exhausting. Despite being late for school everyday, my shopaholic brain sprung me up at 5:30am for shopping, full body Indonesian massage, a seafood lunch, more shopping and an A&W dinner (I was overly excited bout this part of the trip since I've been missing A&W for YEARS AND YEARS and prolly looked spastic being so thrilled in a fast-food restaurant). The beggars as young as five years old are doe-eyed, chatty and entertaining. Amused myself on the ferry ride home by observing sad raindrops in my window seat thinking they looked pretty glistening amongst the ship lights in the background. Oh and of course, the fascinating galaxy.









Tour guide Irene (yeah same name as mumsy). Super friendly and funny. Surprisingly, lives in Pasir Ris too.
