ooO juz got back from my 3d2n trip from our neighbouring country.... Wad a nice experience.. although there wasnt exactly alot of things to do at tioman, but it was this nothing-to-do-ness tt allow us to really relax and do nothing much!
Woke up at 5am on the first day and got to golden mile at 6am as instructed by the tour agency. In the end we only boarded the bus at 7 and started on a long and tiring coach ride to our first stop- Tanjong Gemok. We reached there at ard 1145 on the note that the agency told us we will be able to board the ferry at 12. But to our horror, the ppl dere said tt it has been "delayed" till 2 pm. Seriously I sense something fishy at this moment. this is because it appears that we had already been allocated the 2pm ferry ride all along, the agency just lied to us abt the 12pm ride... But we can do nothing much also since we are alr stuck dere. therefore we went for our lunch first and waited patiently till 2pm...
when the ferry arrived, we were quite excited but decided not to rush since the seats are all allocated on the ticket stubs.. therefore we queued like obedient singaporeans until we discovered horror no.2, the seats allocated are just for show haha...
When we managed to get onboard, we need to endure another 1.5 hrs ride... so tired of all the travelling man.. juz wanna get to the place fast haa... it reminded me of a comment by the coach driver( u wan fast take aeroplane lo...) althought the ferry ride is boring, but we managed to take some pictures on the deck...
By the time we reach dere it was already late afternoon and we are all tired from the travelling. but it's nice to noe the resort is quite comfortable.(except that the water heater is not working) Programmes for the first day ended with a evening dip into the water, our dinner, exploring the surrounding area, booking for our snorkeling trip, pool, chilling out in the open and enjoying satay plus stingray....
Day 2 is an exciting one... we set off for our breakfast early in the morning in anticipation of our snorkeling trip! oh and i also met a s'pore gal at the breakfast area... we exchanged a few glances at each other, i think she noes i was looking at her, and i noe she was looking at me also haha(perhaps its because there isnt very much ppl of abt our age over dere ba)... but she's a xiao mei mei la, probably oldest abt 18 years old? tts why it just stopped there... she's always with her parents as well tts why... nv mix ard...
Snorkeling was fun! we took a boat out to the area and enjoyed the surrounding with fishes all around u.. the experience was great and it was beautiful... the corals are not that outstanding though, i guess it would have been even more beautiful a few years back.. tts why we shd protect the environ...
After the snorkelling we were all exhausted but not sunburnt(thks to banana boat). In the end we had a nap while my little cousins hone their skills at the pool table.... the aunty and uncles played their never boring game of LABI as usual haha. At night we also had a cuppa or more than that of red wine.. now i think i'm slowly more able to appreciate red wine than those vodka and wadever haa...
Day 3 morning i saw her at the breakfast table again.. as usual glances were exhanged and nothing happened haa... maybe one day i will see her in spore... maybe i will make a new friend den haha
After our breakfast we sat at the table and listen as our aunty and uncles talked abt their childhood stories and how our parent's life were last time... It's always sweet to look back at your past experience and laugh at it... Even more interesting for us the later generation to hear abt it....
i managed to shop for2 tee shirt and a bermuda shorts from the souveiner shop haha... nothing much to buy over there... We also plucked 5 coconuts from the tree outside our room to savour the juice haha... just do it the primitive way(smash in on the floor) when u do not have a chopper haa...
The return trip is the most sian one... got onto ferry at abt 12noon and reach causeway at only abt 7, after that we each took a cab home from woodlands.. and i'm still suffering from abit of hangover man... but i quite enjoyed the trip....
