This was one of the best holidays we’ve had—everything was fully sponsored by papa’s company.
We hadn’t planned any trips for June because both kids needed to prepare for their final-year exams. But thankfully, my husband’s company organized a Family Day at Telunas Private Island. It was our first time visiting a private island, and we were beyond excited.
Our journey began with a ferry ride from HarbourFront to Sekupang, Batam. From there, we continued by speedboat to Telunas Resort. Each leg of the trip took about an hour.
The next morning, we took a short 3-minute wooden boat ride to a nearby island resort for a team-building activity: raft building. It was our first time doing this! We had to build a raft, sail it to a designated point, return, and disassemble it. Challenging but so much fun!
After returning to the villa and having lunch, the kids took part in a pottery class while the adults relaxed and enjoyed some quiet time.
That evening, we had a BBQ dinner followed by a company appreciation ceremony.
On our final morning, before checking out, the kids were eager to go fishing one last time—an activity they can’t easily do in Singapore. After lunch, we packed up and headed home.
It was a truly special experience, even though the weather was humid and incredibly hot. Staying in the villa for 3 days and 2 nights was just what we needed to recharge and reconnect. When we got back home, we felt so grateful for air conditioning—something we often take for granted, yet can’t live without!
