The holiday

This happens to be the 1st Island Trip in 2009.

Day 1: Arrival @Subang Airport.
===============================
Too early and too excited...everyone was hyped up for the trip.
Reach the Merang Jetty around 10.15am and the boat ride was rather slow... only arrive the Island @11.30am....lunch is only served at 12.00pm.

Meet the rest of my cousins and friends and had lunch together. Food was good. The Resort was rather empty as most of the guest will only arrive on the weekends. So, it's like we had the whole place to ourselves... interesting :)

1st Snorkeling session round the island and seen alot of mini trigger fish, some clown fishes, blue and yellow parrot fish. Seen pike fish and baby black tip sharks near the pier.There was a big jellyfish that was wash up shore. Crabs and octopus as well. :)

Quite eventful to have seen those fishes in this trip. Sunblock was slather all over again and again...SPF 50 Banana Boat...the highest SPF we can find :P

Then later there was tea break and towards the evening, we hang out at the beach and some of us sunbath and some continue to snorkel around.

Pictionary challenge was fun. We break into 2 teams and everyone was doing their best to score for the team. Some draw....some acted... some guess...haha... everyone was having a blast...very competitive indeed.

Day 2: Island life began.
===========================
Everyone had a good night sleep after the game and breakfast was served. We break into 2 teams... some of us snorkel out...some of us went for dives. This time, we didn't go out by boat, instead we snorkel out from shore. My sis went with my cousins to snorkel past the cove and luckily they found the boat to take them back shore... else not...it gonna be a long way to swim back.

Got we very worried that day :( Not only was I worried for my sis, but in the island itself - there lies many scary creatures... like the giant monitor lizard, the green gecko, big spiders and slimy tree snakes... ewww.... yuck.

One of those tree dwellers fall on my leg when I was picking up the pink float... :( after that... I was really freaking out. Didn't help the fact, others was really laughing at me...oooo... :(

Evening session, we walk around the beach and walk towards the rocky cliff area, pretty neat and took some pics there. It was really breezy and nice. Sun isn't too hot. :)

Later @nite, we went for karaoke session and some of us went for gin rummy...leng took her set there.

The night was cold and cloudy... didn't manage to see my stars that night.


Day 3: More guest coming to the island.
=======================================
It's a weekend and after breakfast, we can seee more and more guest coming to check in to the island. Okay, it's getting crowded now but it's still fun. Today, we are going to Marine park for snorkeling.

The park itself is pretty crowded during weekends as other resort boats are also there. We saw the ship wreck area and the fishes there are a little bigger (most likely the tourist food).

Today we got some kayaks and we went out to sea again. Lucky day, got to see a really big black tip shark and some bigger trigger fish. Nice! :)

The corals are also more colorful towards the deeper end and it look so peaceful under the sea. We swap kayaks half way and leng got into the water, but we also overturn the kayak a few times... a little shocking...but luckily everything was under control.

Half way snorkeling, i really feel very tired... really no strength to continue on...I headed back to shore and rest. That night, we play more gin rummy and chit chat... the spider in Yinn's room was also a topic we laugh and talk about. Deflating the floats and having girl talk.

The entire trip weather has been great and sunny, luckily for us... it only rain in the night and on the last day when we are leaving the island.

Day 4: Leaving the island life
===============================
Gloomy sunday morning, it was raining heavily and everyone wake up early for breakfast.

On the ferry, everyone was a little drench but we still manage to take group snapshots and laugh our way through. Once we reach the mainland, we headed out to look for the famous Keropok lekor and later went to find lunch around KT (Kuala Terrengganu) chinatown.

Wanted to look for a nice sundress...but the price just ain't right. We walk somemore and went to see snakes and peacocks at the local temple. After that we just chill out at the KT airport. Pretty neat airport as it's still new.

Was really sleepy and slept a bit on the plane...a little uncomfortable as the weather was raining and a little turbulence on air...once we reach back Subang, Jean pick us up and everyone started to depart and bid our farewells.

Another memorable island trip and will definitely plan more future trips again.
