Woke up at freaking 4.30am! Cause was supposed to meet Cousins and family and uncle's colleague 6am at the Zoo entrance.hahas. So around 6 plus, i'm already at JB! Freaking excited about the road ride but then after hearing that its gonna be a 2 whole hours of bumpy journey, heart sank. The journey to Mersing, where we caught our ferry to Tioman, was like having a ROLLER COASTER ride! No traffic lights along the ways, only A FEW, not much cars, lots of SLOPES, thus led to SPEEDING which you can never do in s'pore. The highest speed i saw my father driving was 160km/hr? THAT IS LIKE CRAZY!! I felt like my heart is jumping out any moment.hahahs!Reached Mersing around 8 to 9 plus. Had roti prata for breakfast and we went around for a little shopping! Cousin and family boarded the 1030am ferry while my family boarded the 1130am ferry.
Breakfast!
Finally after 2 hours of journey, we reached Salang, Tioman!! Beach is nice, water is clear and most importantly, the weather is SCORCHING HOT! =) After lunch we started to roam around the island to check out some stores there. Bought a new YELLOW aviator shades! Headed to the beach and had my first snorkling session! Was kinda scared at first cause i'm afraid that the fishes will bite me!! hahahs But slowly i got used to it and just plainly enjoy the beautiful underwater =D During the night as we dont have much things to do, we started to play some card games! The forfeit we had are so hilarious!
There are cats everywhere you go, so i dont think suan and xue dare to go there.hahaas!

Breakfast at 830am and off to prepare to head to the ocean for more snorkling sessions! Was pouring when we reached our first destination! But who cares, we continued to wonder around in the sea for a long time.hahahs The underwater world is so amazing and more beautiful as compared to the ones near our resort. Corals are beautiful and they have different colourful fishes! There are nemo and dory too!hahas.
She is so cute!!
Her laughing sound is " hissed, hissed, hissed", so funny and cute!
While heading to our next destination, the weather was so bad that we had to stop by an island. Was FREEZING cold and we all started to shiver.hahas. Lunched, warmed ourselves up and headed to the next place! This time is the Coral island, we had to pay to go down. All i could say is, it does not live up to its name! Water was murky but the fishes are HUGE! Kinda scary though.hahahs. Stayed on the platform most of the time and we threw bread on my uncle to attract the fishes to go near him. It was so funny and fun! Last destination was Monkey Bay! The place with the nicest bed of corals and water is absolutely GORGEOUS!
Look at our towels hanging boat.hahahs!
Headed back to our island to wash up and have dinner after a tiring day. Went to the beach and sit by there to have a star gazing session! Thy sky is FULL of stars!! Lovely day and night! =D

830 for breakfast and is another day to go snorkling out at the sea! Fishes looked almost the same to me till this point of time.hahas. So just keep swimming about to look at those different corals and batu! Batu is stone in Malay!hahas. One of the places had this really HUGE batus or i dunno what you called them, is really nice, so we thought of climbing up to look at the surrounding views. Current was strong that day and its tiring to swim towads the huge batus. Moremore, there are a lot of batus under the sea and my legs kept knocking onto them thus i had a few bruises =( Struggled to go up the batus and even fall while climbing up! Adventurous huh! lols. Brother got some cuts too and father got the worse cuts! He got a deep cut under his left foot, got cut by some corals or batu hidding under the sea. Poor father! We ended our activities early and headed back to help father bandaged his foot.
Lunched and we headed to the beach at our resort for more snorkling. Me and ni-san stayed on shore for some sun-tanning session while the others headed out to the sea. After that we went hiking to the haunted resort. It wasn't haunted actually but maybe it was i dunno?hahahs. Anyway, the resort was abandoned for 14 years and the exterior of it is still in good condition! So we decided to check it out and the views from up there was serene and beautiful! Washed up and we had BBQ foods as it was our last night there. Played some games and watched Pirates of the Caribbean 3! Watched halfway, all went back to sleep as we had another tiring day.

Breakfast-ed and went to the jetty to feed fishes with our leftover breads. Back to room to pack and time to check out at 11am! The ferry was supposed to come at 12 but it freaking came at 2pm!!Spent the 2 hours at the jetty rotting.zzzzzzz! Back to Mersing around 4 plus 5 and had dinner before driving back to JB. Reached JB at 830 and we had a hard time finding City plaza for some shopping! We all had a very fast shopping spree and brother bought a few Fred Perry shirts.hahas! Didnt get anything for myself though. =( So reached home at 12 midnight.
Time flies when you are having fun and really enjoyed myself for this 4 days 3 nights holiday! Just a short getway that i really needed. =D But this trip made me yearned to learn DIVING even more!!!!
Saturday was PJ party at KFC! Pandy's 21st birthday! hahahahahas! Quite fun though, first time attending PJ party! Will blog about it when i get hold of the photos. =D
Till then, take care people!
