Spending out last moments in our villa before leaving!

Checked out, booked our shuttle bus and off we go to Turi Beach for our water sports activities!

Cab costed us SGD 10 for a 2 way trip there and back to Montigo. Also, by the time we return it will definitely be past the check out timing. They allowed us to shower at their spa village. If you personally enjoy spa, you should give it a shot! Their service there alone is awesome. We were treated like princesses even by just using their shower facilities.

Alternatively, you can opt to shower at Turi Beach itself.

For prices of the water sports activities, you can refer to the link here. Do note prices here does not include GST tax blablabla. 
On a good note, they accepted Singapore Dollars too. We managed to cleared all our Rupiahs and top up with SGD. Their exchange rate was surprisingly good. In fact so much better than the rate I changed my $ before the trip in SG.

We tried both banana boat & parasailing. In my opinion, banana boat was a lot more fun. To be honest, my first impression was it'd be the most boring activity there. However, the girls and my experience proved it wrong. The men tried numerous times to capsize us, and failed at times too HAHAHA. Parasailing was thrilling at first, but it got boring after being in the air for too long. Spotting Singapore's MBS skyline was probably the highlight when I was up there HAHA. And probably bringing my waterproof camera bag to capture the moments.

Our schedule fitted perfectly. By then it was time to head back to Montigo, wash up, catch our 3.30PM free shuttle bus & go to Nongsa Terminal.

Feeling so drained from the tiring events, we fell asleep during our ferry ride. Soon later, we found ourselves in Singapore. Back to our homeland!

It was an amazing (final grad trip before uni starts) trip with indeed the best company I could ever ask for! Every moment spent with the girls never fail to make me feel how blessed am I to have them with me all these years :') And of course a new friend found, Sophia! #bimbs4montigo ♥

To sum it up, this is a perfect gateaway trip for anyone in need of one HAHA. For me, I felt that 3D2N was just right! Hope this post was informative enough to anyone who is intending to go there/ researching for more info!

P.S Will update y'all when Qianny is done with our Video Footage :)

To add on, YES I had eyelash extensions on.

I did mine 4 days before the trip, which was pretty way in advance as I would like to have them on. Due to my busy schedule, I did not have a choice. My extensions survived a night of partying, 2 days camp, & throughout the trip with harsh water current/water activities!

I did them at Angel Xin @ City Plaza at the price of fucking SGD18!!! (U.P$50). Mine were the natural, individual lashes.
I felt ZERO discomfort. Nope, no irritation no weight burden (if you get what i mean) no difference not having them on. Basically, it just felt that it was just my natural lashes. The lady told me it'd last 3-4 weeks, depending on how you take care of them. This last sentence had me thinking it this was bullshit already HAHA, I was prepared it wouldn't last this long at all. True, I did not take extra care of them 'cos of the activities I did. But I did not rub my eyes at all, and honestly I wouldn't think it would last that long even if I did not do those activities.

Well, it's only 18 bucks, super worth the price!

I felt the lashes blended in naturally from the front view. From the side & top view (refer to pics) I felt it looked more obvious. Not a biggie to me though!

Discomfort: None
Lasting: Probably 2 weeks, max 3 weeks in my opinion
*On the 4th day since I had them on, I felt the lashes looked thicker than before. Still natural, but probably the look of me having mascara on. My friends agreed. Not sure why it changed! But not hatin' it.

The glue on the lashes will start to loosen. By the end of my trip, one end of my lash started to fall. And it continued over the next few days. By the 2.5/3rd day after my trip, there were 3 indi lashes remaining on my left eye, and 7 on my right. HAHAHA it looked damn weird and I decided to pull all of them out on my own. WHICH IS NOT THE CORRECT WAY. Angel Xin charges a fee of $10 for removing them.
Ending this trip entry with our video made by the awesome Qianny!
P.S Awesome pool scene edit + epic bloopers
