Montigo Resorts, Nongsapura Batam
This is my little review of Montigo Resorts @ Nongsapura Batam.
It was a very short ride from Nongsapura ferry terminal to Montigo Resorts, about 5 to 10 mins. They have a mini bus, just look out a guy who is dressed in biege (that's their uniform and it says Montigo Resorts). Upon reaching the resort, I was served with a cold towel and a refreshment drink. The drink is good!
There are 3 types of hilltop villas, hillside and beachfront villas (each on a different level). The internal layout of the villa is the same, only the view to the outside is different. I was given a hillside villa, which is the nearest to the reception lobby.
This is the view from the reception lobby. The left side is Phase 2, which is currently under construction. The right side is where the beautiful villas are.
There are 3 rows of villas. The bottom left is beachfront villas, middle is hillside, and the right most (which I didn't capture much) is hilltop.
To get around, you can either walk or take a buggy.
On the ground floor, there is a powder room, living area with kitchen and a outdoor dining with a wide dip pool.
On the second floor, there is this BIG master bedroom and bathroom.

Panorama view of the huge bathroom: 2 wash basins on the left, bathtub in the center, shower room and a room with w.c. on the right
I didn't take photo of the other bedroom. It's pretty small, consisting of 2 single beds and a bathroom which is meant for single use. A wash basin, a shower room and a w.c.
On the top level, there is this outdoor terrace for relax and bbq.
This is the view from the terrace. The opposite side is the Batam Central, where the bustling town is.
Next morning, we have our complimentary breakfast here below. This is the other end from the reception lobby, where the clubhouse is. You have the gym, swimming pool, bar, event lawn and a multi-function beach here.
Souvenir/Convenience shop. The penguin in blue and white is the Resort's mascot. You can find some snacks, ice-cream, toiletries, instant cup noodles etc here.
On the same level as the souvenir shop, this side has the gym and meeting rooms on the right side, reflective pond in the center and event lawn on the left.
A small event lawn.
One level down, we have the swimming pool, pretty cabanas and bar which has a billiard table.
After all the happening here, you can wait for the buggy here.
Love the rooms and people here. It's clean, service people are very polite and helpful. They always bring a smile with them. Would definitely bring my family here next time. Cheers!

New Zealand Preparations
In June, we made a trip to New Zealand. There were a lot of preparations before making our 2 weeks journey there.
Before our travel, we would always do our work with the 5 considerations below:
1) Flight
2) Accommodation
3) Mode of transport
4) Destinations
5) Food
There is no fast and fuss rules to which you should consider first. For us, we love to consider the destinations like the attractions or places you want to visit. That will probably determine your whole itinerary. Looking at the number of destinations, you will know how many days you need there, that's where you can decide the flight. The other 3 are probably your last consideration after you have settled your itinerary.
If you are adventurous and not restricted, you might want to consider renting a car or campervan in New Zealand. If you are staying only in the Auckland city, a car would probably do the work as it will be a problem parking the campervan in the city area. If you are travelling out of Auckland city, the campervan may do an excellent job for your holiday.
We took up a car for the first few days of our travel in Auckland and switched to a campervan to travel southwards. We looked up on the Internet for reviews and decided to go for GoRental and Wilderness. Use this to plan your itinerary :)
Both companies will pick you up to and from Auckland Airport. At the Auckland Airport, there is a counter for tourist information. Just tell the lady you would like to call this particular company, they will let you know the extension number to reach them. It's easy there, trust me.

This is our compact blue car that comes with a bordered pink car plate that says 'Go Rental'.
This is our 2-berth campervan from Wilderness, very user-friendly. Stayed perfect with us throughout, didn't give us much problem. We eat-cook-bathe-do our business all inside this little portable home.

LA SENZA Prestige VIP Card
Hey ladies, do you know about LA SENZA?
If you do, then you must know about LA SENZA Prestige VIP Card. The benefits that are brought to you can help you save much more.
You can get the VIP card at $29 and straight away make any purchase to get 10% discount off. This 10% discount is included in any purchase (no minimum) and always on top of sale items. Of course not in conjunction with any coupons (sometimes they give out vouchers like '50% off any 10 items').
Besides the 10% discount, you will enjoy 50% off during your birthday month, but the amount is capped at $500 before the discount. This is the best offer out of all the benefits but you can only use this once during your birthday month. So if you have eyed on their luxury line, buy them only during your birthday month. Half the price!
If you spend a minimum of $100, you can choose this offer (if you happen to purchase not during your birthday) - 20% discount. For example, you wanna purchase $100 of goodies, you get a 20% discount = $80 final payment. Another example, you are buying a drawer of lingerie that amount to $500, 20% discount would mean you just have to pay $400! A very worth buy :) I would suggest you to use this offer if you purchasing more than $150.
If you are purchasing only about $100-$150, tell the cashier, you would like to use 'Enjoy S$20 off with minimum S$100 spend'. This is a smaller discount given compared to the 20%.
The other two perks are getting a free panty (worth up to $15) when you purchase $50 or more, and get 2 bras with the 2nd bra at 50% discount (value of the 2nd bra has to be lower than the 1st or at the same price).
Once you become a member, you get to enjoy $10 off your membership renewal. The membership ends annually.
Do sign up for their newsletter and sms notifications. Keep informed of their promotions. And, they hold Prestige VIP sale once in a while too! :) Happy lingerie shopping!
