Exactly 1 year ago
Today mark a very special date for me. Exactly 1 year ago on 31st May 2008, a good friend of mine came back from Australia and we went to Perhentian Besar Island on that date upon her request. There was 4 of us, her younger brother, her best friend and ME of course! We took a bus to Kuala Besut from Putra bus station beside PWTC. It was a midnight bus and i remembered i didn't sleep at all during the whole journey. It's not that i don't want to sleep but i just can't sleep when something is moving like in the bus or plane. We reached Kuala Besut jetty around 5am++ and we ate breakfast at a Chinese shop. After breakfast all of us have to wait for our resort office to open around 8am++ so we all hang out at the jetty area. I was kinda tired and the rest of them slept at the jetty waiting area. Since the 3 of them slept, i took the courtesy to look after the belongings and them of course. I even took some shots of them sleeping :P .
When the resort office opened, we all went in and register our self and they all slept again at the office. This time there is a nice sofa for them. Again i took pics of them sleeping but this time asked the office girl to help me take while i pose in front of them. I remembered i got scolding from them for taking the pics while they're sleeping.
Anyway, we only took off to the island around 10am++ and i was still very awake considering i was wake since yesterday 7am! When we reached the island, checked in, change to our swim attire and ate lunch. All of us was so pumped up to go snorkeling. The snorkeling trip was so damn fun and our last stop was at a natural mini cold water fall. I remember my friends took the cold water and splashed at me.
And so, after the snorkeling trip, we went back to our room, took shower and ate dinner. Honestly the dinner was seriously good as they serve kampung style food. At night we just hang out by the beach and i took out my guitar started to perform...hehe. A staff from the resort came to us and started to ask what song i play. Well, i played any song that came to my mind at that time. That night we didn't last long as we're dead tired from all the travelling we did from KL. I crashed around 11pm++ after almost 48 hours awake!
DAY 2, rise and shine. I had a good night sleep and now im all geared up for another new adventure! Morning we had breakfast and getting ready for round 2 of snorkeling. Guess what...the whole boat was just 4 of us and another 2 guest. We made friend with the 2 guest who happens to be Malaysian also. 2 hours ++ later we headed back and no more snorkeling trip for us outside of the island. We ate lunch and went on a banana boat with our 2 new friends. We only fell off the banana once but it was a BIG one. When all of us hit the water, i collided with my friend's younger brother head to head and my friend feet hit my head! BUMP! I blacked out for 1 second and regain consciousness and was seeing stars already(yes, seeing stars was real). All of us was in the water and we hug each other so the water current won't push us too far away.
Then it was dinner time and we had dinner with the 2 new friends we just made. We talked a lot and after dinner i took out my booze and asked them to drink with us too. I took my all time favorite Solo softdrink from aussie as the mixer. Everyone said it tasted better than coke as the mixer. I exchanged my name card with the 2 new friends so we will still keep in touch even after our trip. It was fun drinking with them, chatting and laughing! The ladies didn't really drink a lot and i didn't want to take back my booze so i drank most of it and was a lil high but still can walk. We did a night walk around the beach, took photos, and when we stopped at the jetty, things got worst for me. Suddenly felt i cannot walk and need to sit down. I puked a lil and crashed. I was still conscious but i sat with them looking at the ocean.
Once everyone is done talking by the jetty, we headed back to our rooms. I was walking kinda wobbly already and my friends best friend hold on to me so that i don't drop and sleep on the sad. I remembered that i even remember to walk back to the dinning area, pick up my guitar and go back to the room and sleep. That conclude my trip and we headed back to KL by bus on the 2nd June 2008.
Have i told you i will be going for another Island adventure trip next month? It will be 21st June - 23rd June and this time it's Perhentian Kecil Island. Can't wait for that trip! This time i will be going with 8 person and this time they are all my childhood friends. staying near by my house. Gonna bring my guitar and my best friend will be bringing it too. This will be my 4th island adventure in a row. I have listed them down here with pics and year:
And so, i will conclude my blog for today. I purposely waited for this date to post this blog as it's an important date as it was the beginning and the ending too. Made a mess out of myself and i shall end it all. I will roam freely again and will aim for the things I've always wanted in the past. Before i sign off, just wanna say "Thanks for the wonderful memories....and Good Bye~"
