Im back to continue the sequel...My fingers were tired from the typing. LOL
The Saga continues...
On the third day, we woke up bright and early and went on a snorkelling trip. Our first stop was at this small island surrounded by the ocean in the middle of nowhere. As the group became friends with the Resort's family, we managed to get off with better service and our snorkelling gear was free!!! Wo hoo! I jumped into the ocean with the life jacket and caught a glimpse of the beautiful fishes with the gear. Next stop was the Marine Park where we had our lunch. I saw the monitor lizard as well. Pretty cool. We had a pinic lunch under a tree. Jeff bought a bag of bread crusts to feed the fishes. We took the bag, went to the beach and fed the fishes. They were everywhere and their fins were poking the hell out of me. In the end, my lunch and the current of the water got to me and i wasnt feeling so great. Then we island-hopped to do some duty free shopping. Got some postcards of the island. Thank God i got those since my pictures for the trip werent that great. :P Last stop was coral viewing. The uncle on board kept urging me to go into the water and snorkel. I was still feeling bad from the lunch and just stayed on board for more tanning session. Anyways the water was so clear that i stayed on board and looked at the corals. I managed to converse in minimal Melayu lang enough for him to understand me. LOL The corals were really pretty. Anyways went back to the resort and was thinking of going jungle trekking but the person in charge was out on a trip. What a pity. Qi was really looking forward to it. Sigh. So we ended up playing volleyball on the beach again. Gossiped a little and looked at the sunset. Breath taking. We went night fishing again but this time, we had no luck with the school of fishes. We knew they were eating the bait but we just couldnt hurl it up in time. Jeff was really dissappointed and it was getting really cold so we just went back to the cabin. Qi and me was a little sleepy during fishing and we ended singing Mandarin songs to keep ourselves awake. LOL Andrew got tired as well so he and Jas went back to shore first.
On the last day, we took the ferry and got back to Mersing. We had lunch at a local coffee shop and tried to find cabs back to JB. There were no cabs available and for a mere moment, it looked like we wouldnt be able to come home that day. After about an hour, we finally found 2 cabs to take us to the causeway. The situation at the immgration over at JB was HORRENDOUS. I didnt imagine it to be THAT bad. Everyone was pushing and screaming. ARGH! Cutting the queue etc. When i got back to Singapore, i let out a sigh of relieve.
IT IS GOOD TO BE HOME.
Today, i met up with Qi, Huey Ling and Elaine and signed up for the VIP membership to California Fitness. It is a temp pass to try out the place. Then we had sushi at Meridien. Wasnt great but it was fun though. Then we went to PS because they wanted to go to Spotlight. Guess i would be seeing them again on Sat for some Boxexercise! Rock on!
Good night everyone.
