Angsana Bintan! - 9:27 PM
Woah its been almost 2 months since I updated by blog. Nothing changed. Havent got the time, feeling or the means to go online due to the following reasons: I have been to reservist for 2 weeks, barren jungle with no network.
I have changed my comp so I need time to set it up
I have been studying for CFA, not that it took alot of my time.
I have changed my internet provider to M1, which is a regret I have to live for 2 years.
After hearing dozens of people say "huh? who today still use pacnet." I decide it was time to change. I thought upgrading from 512 to 2MBps will be like an increase of speed to 4 times. On the contrary, its more like a decrease in speed by 4 times. But come to think of it, who in the world use M1 also. Just got to admit it was a spur of the moment of a cheapo me, who jumped at the wagon cause there is a 50% discount. A regret it is....
Anyway to drop unhappy things aside, just got back from Bintan for the weekend. Staying at Angsana was great! I truly recommend anyone who is going there to stay there. The place is nice, not crowded unlike other resort and the service is great. Even on a weekend, you pretty much have the beach and pool to your own. Everyone at the resort greets you from the bell boy to the gardener who waters the plant. First time I had a pleasant check-in experience where we were led to a air-con room, with drinks and snacks, while we sat down and the staff come and sat with us, talk us through and help us check in. We stayed at the suite, which was nice. Housekeeping was twice a day and they help us set up the mosquito repellant stuff without us asking at evening while we went out to the beach to enjoy. A truly great place to relax and unwind as well as blending in some excitement with the water-sports that they offer. It was a weekend that I need since a long time, as well as a promise that my colleagues have been trying to fulfill for the past 2 years. Great great great!
