Hiatus?

In 3 words I can sum up everything I know about life:



It goes on...

Unfamiliar Friend Visits Unfamiliar Island

An update is better than no update :P Here it is a replacement of the cockroach post before this :D It was mid-semester break and I've been somewhat dragged along into a trip (I'm a replacement for someone who ffked my friend). The day before the trip to Pulau Tioman, we depart to Melaka first as it would be nearer for us to leave from this place. Since we have a friend who came from South Africa, we need to go through the ritual of being a tourist in Melaka:

Image
What else? Satay celup!!

Image
and Jonker Walk.. he got himself some Alien vs Predators figurines and an Angry Bird slippers -.-"

Image
Next, to the fountain!

Image
This is my first time taking this scene using my GF1 xD The quality is wayyyyyy better!

Image
  Melaka is getting brightly lit every single time I return..

The next morning, I think we departed around 8AM and thanks to my mad driving skills, we managed to catch the 11.30AM ferry to the island. Our first stop, a random stall opposite the jetty to fill our stomachs xD

Image
 Then we took the free shuttle bus provided by Berjaya to their resort

Image
This is what we are supposed to stay in but..
Image
We got upgraded to the golf club resort due to some technicalities..

Image
The comfortable bed that I slept for 3 nights xD

Image
The view from the balcony

Image
The toilet in the bathroom

Image
The bathtub in the bathroom which I didn't use it at all.. I used the shower in the toilet =.=

Image
The goodies at this sink replenish everyday :D

Image
The slippers that I almost wear out several times -.-"

Image
Room number..

Image
Took a walk on the beach and realized that it is so freaking CLEAN and BLUE!

Image
Chillaxing beside the beach with a bottle of beer..

Image
Tough luck to see the sunset on the horizon

Image
First night, we had dinner outside the resort.. the restaurant name is Chinese Seafood Restaurant.. how vague =.=

Image
Chicken of not niceness!

Image
The abysmal vegetable!

Image
The almost tasteless squid!

Image
The bland crab!

Image
I think the best dish in this restaurant is this grilled fish.. Others IMHO SUCKS!!!

Image
After dinner we played pool..

Image
Look at the stars! Well.. you must see it with your own eyes.. picture can't capture everything :D

Image
The next day, we went snorkeling.. it's my first time snorkeling and after a few hours in the water I feel a little seasick LOL!!

Image
You can clearly see the fishes from above!!

Image
Just look at how clean the water is!!!

Image
Our mode of transportation..

Image
They even have this big statue here in this island.. are they trying to copy the eagle statue in Langkawi?

Image
After snorkeling, we chillax again at the Berjaya beach.. with coke instead of beer this time :D

Image
I think I got no fate with sunset over the horizon..

Image
2nd night and dinner this time at Chinese Sarang Seafood.. such odd name..

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
My verdict about this place? It is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than the one we had on the first night. However, it is quite troublesome to get here from the resort as it is not conveniently located outside the resort like the restaurant we had on the first night but need to get through the hill before entering the Berjaya resort..

Image
Pool again after dinner!

Image
Next day, we went for an excursion in the island in a truck like when I was in Sungai Lembing.. Please don't comment anything about the pants.. it's not mine to begin with..

Image
First stop, Juara beach.. this beach is not as nice as Berjaya's beach.. but it's kinda funny here as we witness some Brazilians quarreling over football game every minute they play.. I think they spend more time quarreling than playing football haha..

Image
Next stop, Juara turtle centre!!
 
Image
WOOT! I actually touched a life turtle =D

Image
The hatchery..

Image
The baby turtle is so darn cute!!

Image
Our third stop, some waterfall.. I almost lose my sunglasses here :\

Image
Like Sungai Lembing, the tyre decided to puncture..

Image
But we made it to the final stop which is.. snorkeling again at the marine park -.-"

Image
I'm sort of suffering from sea sick still so I decided to explore the other side of the hill next to the snorkeling area.. It was such a nice place!

Image
As always.. no sunset beyond the horizon... ARGH! managed to take some nice photos though..

Image
I wonder what this is for.. they pump sea water for us to bath and drink ar? LOL!

Image
Decided to explore more of this place.. I wonder who lives up there..

Image
I make this picture extra big so you can read the legend..

Image
Such spooky golf area..

Image
Last night here and we decided to splurge~ buffet time! I ate freaking lot of lamb chop, satay, etc.. I think that explains the high uric acid in my body -.-"

Image
I took this by accident? I think? See that lady there.. she must have stuffed herself too much ROFLMAO!!

Image
Final day here.. had breakfast in a Malay restaurant outside the resort.. and a group picture after that!

Image
We went to feed the fishes again and after that we checked out and return back to where we belong~

Image
Well the journey doesn't end there.. I tagged along going to Batu Caves since I never been there before haha..

Image
I can climb the place without any problem but somehow after reaching the top I started to feel weird and I rested awhile before continuing on into the cave..

Image
There are monkeys everywhere!!

Image
Poor tourist can't eat their ice cream in peace LOL!

Image
Salute this woman climbing up with high heels!!

Image
Dark Cave tour..

Image
That is how deep it goes..

Image
As you know.. caves.. -.-"
Image
Nothing much to see but still gained some knowledge as there's a guide explaining stuffs to us..

Image
Peace out!
