RAAAAARRRRRR!
Now, for the Tioman trip that's like a month ago i think. I've never been a "love-the-sun-and-beach" kinda girl but this trip changed my thinking completely!
The trip was great! And i think i've kinda overcome my fear of jumping into the deep blue sea! (Provided i'm with my life-jacket, baaaa.. crap, i know.)
We took a super uncomfortable bus there, the traveling journey sucked.
The bus seats were so cramped and worst of all, there were 2 flies inside the bus happily flying around landing from head to head of the passengers, including ME! Urghh. I was feeling really irritated and i thought i smacked one to death with my bare hands. Disgusting, i know.
If they had just stopped somewhere and not fly around, I would have spared them butttttttt..
Ahh.. nevermind about the stupid flies. Let's move on.
The ferry we took was much more comfortable than the flies-infested bus and i'm lucky i did not feel sea sick at all throughout the whole trip there, hehs.
I kept falling asleep every minute because I was so bored! Imagine having to take 6 hours of uncomfy bus + ferry ride! Only snapping away keeps me awake... for awhile.
Blue sea is so nice! Totally unlike Singapore's Kaya sea. Green and disgusting. Pui.
The place I went -- SALANG RESORT
Look what we saw once we stepped down!
Take a closer look at the cute stripped fishes!
There were a million more fishes, all different types with many colours! I was damn shocked when I first put on my mask because this is my first time snorkeling and i didn't expect to see so many fishes! I actually felt disgusted by the seemingly slimy looking fishes right beside me!
Just imagine swimming in a fish tank full of fishes, yikes right?
But it just took me around 15minutes to get used to it and i love them pretty much at the end of the day, teehee.
The fishes were cute, and these? Cute.............NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The above one is like one and a half times of me. My goodness.
They were huge like crocodiles!! And so many of them!! Arghhhhh!
Also my first time seeing such GIGANTIC monitor lizards.
Luckily they are just swimming in the swamp areas and not the sea, i wouldn't want to snorkel with them!
Our first meal there! We were lucky to finish our food fast enough before the flies.
There was an army of them. The warriors flies which fought for food with us, really.
There were so many flies surrounding me that I really felt like a hippopotamus in the zoo!
But i can still snap snap snap, totally ignoring them. HAHA.
The yucky-booboo omelette fried rice I ate.
The atmosphere there is so relaxing, even the cats felt so lazy..
Drinking mommy cat's milk, so cute huh?=D
Mama looks like a bumble bee here, cute huh. hehs
Beautiful. =)
Dinner time!
The dinner that I anticipated for!
This (so-called) restaurant only opened at around 6pm and it is closed throughout the day, so we thought it might be VERY delicious since they are so dua pai (大牌), if you get what i mean.
But to my disappointment, the food kinda sucked. =(
The service was lousy (We had to wait for 30 minutes for a bowl of rice because they only start to cook the plain rice when you order it) and the food wasn't BBQ-ed as they claimed they did.
The people there tend to forget things super easily, so you gotta "renew" your order pretty often.
But anyway, we enjoyed ourselves. =)
With cousin huiyi, mama and papa =D
We used to look almost identical (and wear identical clothes) when we were young, haha.
Oh my oh my, how time flieeeeeeesssssssss.
The choice is obvious. =,=
There're really countless cats there, waiting for their dinner once we're done.
Can you spot the virtual cat?
And YES, THAT IS MISS DULANSI. (the one which 04's been looking forward to see eh? hehs)
Now you people can visualise better when i tell some dulan stories, *.*
Eeeeeew..
That marks the end of day one. =)
Day 2: RISE AND SHINEEEE!
Yayness. =D~
yes yes yes i climbed the coconut tree! Weeee! hehs
It's been ages since i last lay down and relax this way.
Totally dig that ####nettynet####! So comfy i can fall asleep in it.
It was snorkeling after this and sadly, no pictures.
Can't bring along our cameras. =(
Back from snorkeling! All famished and tired.
Me, kaihui and huiyi.
This wonderful little lady in blue actually PUKED 2 times into the sea when we were snorkeling and well, became the topic of the day.
It's okay to puke into the sea? I guess so.. that's provided if we're not in the sea!!
But we were.
She was in the speed boat feeling all nauseous due to seasickness and gladly puked into the sea. Oh man!! We swam away from her bits of spongy half-digested food of course!
tsk tsk tsk, haha.
Couldn't blame her as well because you can't help it too if you're feeling dizzy and all nauseous!
If you're wonderin, this cute lil girl is just the shop owner's daughter=)
My aunt's my best partner during snorkeling! Haha. Because both of us daren't swim too far away like my bro and cousins, so we sticked together and the best thing is she belong to the gang of non-seasick people with me HAHA. I think we should give her "the-most-steady-auntie" award. Weet! *Claps!*
Row row row your boat.. gently down the sea..
Just some candid shots. Papa can do the tripping stone stunt! Not triple trips but 6 or 7 trips! I'm impressed, woohoo~
It was food, food and more food again when the sun sets.
We tried out a different restaurant and it was gooooood. Nice ambience, good food, no flies, no cats jumping around and most of all, authentic BBQ seafood!
YUMS.
A nice place isn't it? =)
The next morning dad caught a crab!
That white stick Mr Crabby is holding my cotton bud haha.
We were just curious how tightly Mr Crabby can grip. Pretty strong indeed!Tested and proven.
Off for breakfast and we were prepared to leave. =(
Back to work and school and reports and tests. Damn.
Going home sweet home..
I doubt we will ever be sick of snapping away, hehs
Testing the flexibility of our faces, $_$
And that marks the end of my lil getaway trip in Tioman!
LOVE!
