Caleb just came back from his very first overseas trip. We went to Bintan for a short getaway.This is a joint trip planned by Caleb's Mami, Aunty Celine, Aunty Sophia, Aunty Tracy and Aunty Rach. It was a 3D2N trip. We set off on 17th June and was back on 19th June.
Details of our trip comin' up... .. .. .. ... ... ...
Departure Day~17th June
We woke up to a cold morning. It was drizzling slightly.We have arranged to meet to meet at Tanah Merah Ferry terminal at 10.30am. We went to pick up the Niam family heehee cos Uncle Bo sent his car for repainting. The car ride was fun with so many people on board.
Upon reaching the terminal, we saw planes above us.. Wow,the kids excited to see the aeroplanes especially Celeste!
Well, after we reached the terminal, the rest also started coming in except Aunty Rachel. We called her only to discover that she was still at home. We decide to check in first because we were afraid there will not be seats left.
Mami & Caleb 4Cs.. Carol, Caleb, Celeste, Celine
By the very last min, Aunty Rachel finally made it to the check in. *Phew*

So all of us boarded the ferry sucessfully. Thanksfully, Caleb sleep throughout the 1 hour ride. So its a plus point for us. Heehee
On the ferry.. .. ..
After hitting shores and clearing the customs, we went on board the Nirwana Gardens bus that was supposed to pick us up. Hmm.. i must say that they are quite 'forgetful'. They almost left behind Uncle Bo's luggage. *tsk tsk*
The bus ride was alright and we reached the hotel pretty soon. Our villa, Tortoise A was ready for check in already. But the other villa, Tortoise F which is shared by Aunty Tracy, Aunty Rachel was not ready yet. The names sure are funny.. Tortoise. Heehee. But then, by this time all of us were growling with hunger already hence we decided to eat 1st b4 we adjourned to our villas..
After lunch, we proceeded to check into our 'Home', Tortoise A.

We planned to have BBQ dinner tonight. But the BBQ was kinda a diaster. We rented the BBQ pit from Nirwana gardens and well, the kind folks helped us to set the fire. But the fire that that started seem to be impossible for BBQ. The fire is huge and the food was all burnt. *Sigh* Uncle Daren had to cook the rest of the food over a stove.
But special thanks to Uncle Bo and of Caleb's Dadi for manning the BBQ fort. Heehee.
After all our kiddos went to bed, the adults stayed up and chit chat. We saw a 'big whale at work' (its a joke known to us only).. hahaha.Well it was also the 1st time that we witness a dream feed. Aunty Tracy feed milk to Meg in the middle of her sleep without waking Meg up. Must say, its rather impressive!
