TIOMAN ISLAND
First day.
Had our lunch @ SengKang Pizza Hut b4 boarding a cab to Seletar Airport (Ulu place) to catch our flight.. We boarded Berjaya Air at ard 3plus.. The plane was super stuffy tat even the stewardess were fanning themselves! It has been a long time since I last took a plane.. the view was superb with clouds surrounding us.. I just love being on a plane! Except the landing part when the wheels touch the ground, kinda scary to me.. lol! We arrived at Tioman at ard 4plus.. Took the shuttle bus to Berjaya Resort.. The places tat we passed by on the way der were pretty rundown, but tat didn’t affect us.. We continued to check in and was alittle ‘surprised’ when the staff didn’t bother to send us to our room when dey just sent a group of angmohs right to their doorsteps.. wadever! The place was more lyk a chalet but w/o the bbq pits.. We left our bags in the room and we went to rent snorkeling equipments to practice for the trip the next day.. I had difficulty at first.. but I got the hang of it after awhile.. =) we den headed to the Chinese restaurant outside the resort for our dinner.. the food was delicious! After our sumptuous dinner, we decided to walk ard the resort to see what facilities dey had.. we ended up playing one round of pool in the games room.. we walked pass the resort’s pub where two skimpily dressed ladies were singing and dancing.. wasn’t interested so we headed back to our room to watch tv!
Second day.
Had our breakfast at the resort’s coffee house.. nth special.. nth fantastic.. we walked over to the diving centre whr we rented the snorkeling equipments again to practice.. the water der was so much clearer.. and we had lotsa fun.. Went to the Chinese restaurant agn for our lunch.. food was rather disappointing compared to the dinner we had in the previous night..
2pm – Snorkeling trip to Coral Island, Melang Rock and Renggis Island.. First time I’m so close to the fishes.. the feeling is just indescribable.. saw a few colourful fishes.. saw some corals.. water wasn’t really clear thou.. but I did had fun feeding dem.. the trip ended close to 6pm.. we were exhausted after the trip.. phew.. but we still jumped into the swimming pool.. haha.. baby taught me how to swim.. know I swam lyk a duck.. no coordination.. but at least I noe how to float on water now! Haha.. went to Delima restaurant opposite the Chinese restaurant for dinner.. the food.. sucks big time.. once is enough.. luckily we didn’t order a lot.. cus we alrdy decided to order food into our room after tat.. Ordered their pizza and club sandwich.. both was pretty ok but nth fantastic..
Third day.
After breakfast, we walked to the waters near the diving centre to take some shots.. the pictures turn out really nice.. =) at least it wasn’t a wasted trip cus we had to walk really far back to our room..
Overall, I enjoyed myself tremendously but my skin is really pain now after hours under the sun.. its ok.. I’ll endure it! Oh btw, the sky at night is really beautiful..
Till then.. =)
