Tioman Island; Genting Village Part 2

Thursday, April 2, 2009 11:25 PM

Day 2: We have Nasi Lemak & white bread for breakfast & then we set off to start snorkelling for the day.. I was quite worry & scare when i'm on board, nt coz that i'm seasick but it's that i have no water confidence (like Fae said).. It's like we will be in the middle of nowhere of the very very deep sea to snorkel & i dunno how to swim at all! -_-"'... i was feeling sort of like OMG, if my time is up, then i... haha.. just think abt negative of what will happen lah; insecure.. ok.. then when we reached the Northen part of Tioman to snorkel, everyone else jumped off the boat easily.. In the end, only left Mai, MinXing & me to jump, so the 3 of us hold hands together & jumped! There's really a second that i thought i would die but then... i float up coz of the life vest.. haha.. ok.. the first step is snorkel is really a big big challenge to me.. i had to keep talking to myself & Fae on how to keep myself alive, moving & starting.. haha.. i think i spend quite a lot of time doing that... then slowly got the hook of snorkel & trying to move/"swim" in the sea but i still keep on holding onto Fae's life vest for support & sense of security.. I also will try to hold on to other ppl like Shirin, Syahmi & Wei Siang (Thanks to you guys).. I was really very excited & amazed to see the fishes & enjoyed snorkelling.. It's just a pity that we didn't get to see sharks, turtle & sotong.. i also feel very bad that i somewhat "harm" Fae couldn't enjoy the activity that much.. haiz, i know i'm troublesome & i hate this to happen.. although i couldn't swim, the enthusiasm to snorkel didn't stop.. haha.. This trip has really made me to be more determined to learn swimming le but i know i'm a slower & over age learner so it somewhat stops me a bit for learning.. haha..

After snorkelling till about 3.30pm, we went back to Island Reef Resort, tanned & rest a while to prepare for another snorkel at 5pm.. But coz 6 person plus Ken will swim over to a nearby beach, i "harm" Fae again, missing the fun again coz i can only walk & she decides to walk there with me.. In the end, the 6 of them enjoy seeing stuff while swimming to the beach & totally like forget that Fae & me are still on the beach waiting.. We waited till like around 6pm plus then Fae & I was struggling to go into the open sea to join them but in the end didn't succeed coz we then know time is almost up & the both of us were in pain & scared too.. coz the beach area was mostly rocks & dead corals.. Everywhere we stepped towards the sea also seems wrong & Fae was also worried that there might be stonefish..In the end when Fae & I know that time to go back le, we struggled again trying to get back to the shore.. haha, coz of those dead corals around.. As it was low tide at that time, it's like we seem like quite deep in the sea but i could still stand & touch the seabed.. it's tiring in the sense that to me it's quite dumb that you can stand but need to keep bending down to snorkel a bit to ensure that the place that we step on is safe.. I gt so sick & tired of doing so that i just stand up & walk, nt caring what i stepping on.. And my end result for doing so, is getting a cut on my knee.. haha.. nvm lah..

The night activity is then FISHING!! haha.. i've nv done that before, but i also didn't dare to try.. haha, coz i watched too much cartoon on fishing accidents.. The funniest part was that when it was Wei Siang's turn to try, he actually lose the line, hook & bait too.. Haha.. he said he used too much strength but i dun believe.. Haha.. i also see how ppl also fish for sotong.. Ronnie was very kind that he let us played Fireworks (illegal in S'pore).. haha.. it was my first time seeing how ppl do it & it's really so damn cool.. haha.. So, in the end we had 8/9 fishes (i forgot the name of the species but i know it's the bigger version of the Nasi Lemak fish).. So, we went to the bar to let Coco to fried the fish for us & then Nigel, Wei Siang & me ordered Margarita (a liquor).. haha.. it's my first time drinking liquor with my friend.. haha.. After that we went back to our room & we were supposed to go to the guys room again to finish up all the tidbits.. In the end, i didn't go into their room but go back to my room to sleep.. Coz Nigel was up to his evil plot to matchmaking le.. It really sucks lor! To me, somethings cannot force de, i rather let nature to take its own course.. What's more it nt only "troubles" me in a way, it also a kind of like cause embarrassment to Wei Siang also lor.. i think now the both of us are friends, are also gd in a way what.. Apart of that stupid thing, i'm happy that at least i can star- gaze at night, it's really nice to see that lot of stars.. ^^

Day 3: We slept till about 8.45am then we pack our stuff & go for breakfast.. Breakfast took us abt 1/ 2 hr? haha.. coz we were chatting on a lot of different issues especially gossipping.. Then we went back to the room to do final packing, collection of $$ & returning of equipments.. Ronnie was kind to give us 2 bottles of his hand- made Lime- plum juice.. it's really nice & refreshing!! haha.. Then before we left we chat a lot with Ronnie, Roseanne & Ken while waiting for the ferry & our King & Special Ramily Burger.. HAHA..

It's really sad to leave & we even thought of staying over another night coz we have extra clothes.. haha.. But we couldn't lah, we know all we'll be back AGAIN!! ^^
