25 - 27 May 2010 Berjaya Tioman Day 2

I just came back from Zoo! Nothing much to see, won't really go unless its free or maybe bring my girlfriend if she never been there or my kids or something.

Anyway, let's continue with Tioman Day 2! We started by waking up at 7:30 and headed for the international breakfast that came with the rooms. Not bad I must say, they have pretty much the standard things.

Went to the island hopping snorkeling trip we booked next. Was kinda disappointed when they didn't provide us with flippers, but I only had myself to blame for not checking.
NOTE: Wordy post ahead, no pictures as we didn't have underwear case/housing for camera. But do read on, its worth it!

First destination was Coral Island. Apparently, according to source(s), turtles and baby sharks can be spotted here, but we didn't see any. Instead, we got ourselves in real clutch situation. The waves and currents there were crazy! We kinda swam too far out from the shore and had trouble getting back. Its like you'll remain at the same spot despite swimming like mad for 3 minutes. Talk to Min Yi about it :D ahahaha!

The other snorkeling spots were more pleasant. I had fun swimming among school of fishes while some others enjoyed feeding the fishes with their toes :D hahaha!

Oh! We had lunch break at one of the "restaurant" on Salang Beach. The waiting time for the food was fucking long and the food sucks. Their fish didn't even tasted/looked like fish and we kind of suspect its actually monitor lizard afterward, wahahaha!

Got back ashore at about 3pm, hit the pool for awhile before heading back to wash up, rest alittle before we went for more table tennis + arcade action. Had early dinner at the same place as day 1.

And here comes the highlight of the vacation! HP getting wasted! Wahahaha! He had a Piña Colada for starter, a so-so Graveyard, a strong Flaming Lamborghini and finally finished with half a B52! A round of applauds for HP da man! The funny thing is that we only agreed on a starter drink & graveyard, but ended up with more drinks ahahaha!

kC acting sane, trust me, he was already half the man he really is cause he had the same drinks minus B25! Ahahaha!

Star of the night! Or should I say trip! Ahahaha!

Keep rolling... Rolling...

Rolling, rolling...

Hahaha I love this photo! Epic knocked out pose!

He ran around the area...

Trying to stand still...

And down again.

The best part was when he shouted, "Fuck you Min Yi!" in real high pitch, ahahaha laughed my ass off!

We finally got him back to the room. But he somehow got up and ran down into YL's room cause he was complaining why everyone went back so early and that we should all chill and chat ahahaha! We then moved him back to our room and more dramas... One of which is when I asked him to call Min Yi to fuck off & he sat up from his laying position and shouted, "Fuck off Min Yi!" Wahahaha, fucking hilarious!

Ok the last picture for the night, the rest... Are videos, saved in a dark corner of my 'D' drive :D hahaha!

Part 3 soon!

25 - 27 May 2010 Berjaya Tioman Day 1

Rendezvoused at Golden Mile Complex, 6am. The place has this unique pungent smell, like the mixture of salted fish and Indian spices. Boarded the bus at 30 minutes later, there were less than 20 people on the bus, so we pretty much had a spacious journey. Went on a 4 hours bus ride before arriving at Tanjung Gemok Ferry Terminal at 10:30am.

Had a break stop during the bus ride. Super unhygienic place. And this was where Min Yi smacked out her chocolate milk and announcing proudly how lucky she was to have prepared it for the journey. But she kinda puked the milk out in the second half of the bus ride. AHAHAHA!

Our ferry will only set off at 11:30am, so we just sat there, chilled and observe this "alien", hahaha! The ferry ride took around 2 hours.

Waiting, waiting...

Haha, got to drink protein shake even on vacation!

Ipod Touch is good entertainment anytime of the day!

First glimpses of Pulau Tioman!

We checked in upon arrival, unpacked our stuffs in the rooms and headed for lunch at the resort's main restaurant. We were all dead famished from all the traveling. Went back to our rooms to relax after a satisfied meal.

Our nice little "superior" room. Not a bad room over all, with a safe in that cupboard over there and a small freeze, water boiler directly opposite it. Their rooms are connected as well.

The toilet, which is not bad too, warm water available. The AC is good enough to keep us cool all day.

After resting for an hour or more, we decided to check out the snorkeling package they offer. RM$80 per person for 5 hours of snorkeling at 5 different locations; Coral Island, Salang Reef, Monkey Bay, Marine Center and Renggis Island. Snorkeling mask set and life vest included only, no flippers.

We decided to rent snorkeling gears and swim out from our shore, as a "try-out" as some of us are first timers. At Berjaya Tioman Resort, they charge the snorkeling equipments at hourly and daily rates, which can be quite expensive. But the guy was nice enough to offer us 2 hours of snorkeling at RM$25 with full gear(Snorkeling mask set, flippers and life vest). If I didn't remember wrongly, RM$25 can only, at normal rate, give you snorkeling mask set and flippers for 1 hour. By the time we finished, its already close to 7pm, so we headed back to shower, etc before dinner.

Relax first la!

kC "digging" it!

This pic is so gay I can't resist not uploading it!

Walked out of the resort to this Chinese Sea Food Restaurant, which is pretty cheap. We ordered dishes like steamed fish, prawn, a plate of vegetable, chicken, claypot toufu and it only summed up to around RM$30 per person.

Cheap right?! But we chose fresh juice over these :D

HP and the delicious fish.

This is some cheese prawn thingy, taste... Unique.

Went back to our rooms with some snacks, gay-ed around then off we went to the amusement center, pretty much mean the arcade.

Smoking... Love letters hahaha!

HP loves drinking! You'll know why...

Strangely, we prefer table tennis over arcade games.

Smash coming right up!

Thats pretty much for day 1. Will talk about day 2, where the highlight of the trip is :D

RIP Dr Goh Keng Swee, our noble forefather

Check these notes out! Especially the first $1 and $10! I swear I've never seen them. And my mum has quite a collection of old coins and notes.

2 more days to Tioman, I don't know what to expect but... Let's hope it'll be fun.

I watched part of the cremation ceremony of Dr Goh Keng Swee on TV just now. And I felt real grateful for all that he had done for us, the children of Singapore. Some say because of him we have to serve 2 years of NS, but I think its because of him that we learnt to protect our country. Let's just hope he can rest in peace.

I'm no fun afterall...

Fuck! No chalets available on 5th, 12th and 19th of June! No Aranda, Coasta Sand, Aloha! No Changi, no nothing! Can't get wasted! Can't chill!

Sigh... Looks like I'll have to settle with BBQ again. The problem with BBQ is that... Well, we'll get all sticky and sweaty! Not very chilling! Hahaha!

Sigh... ... FML.

F U-nny PEOPLE

Tonight, I shall sacrifice my reading time to talk about people. There is a minority of us who always act like others owe them big time. Taking advantage of people whom they know will go their way, throwing tantrum at least 20 times a week over little things.

And when people ask them to stop being so fucked up(nicely), they simply push the blame to other things like this or that screwed their day up, etc. But please get this straight my dear(s), NOBODY FUCKING OWE YOU(ALL) FOR WHAT YOU(ALL)'VE BEEN THROUGH! IT MAY BE SOMETHING UNFAIR, BUT IS IT FAIR FOR YOU(ALL) TO ACT ALL BIG FUCK AND CAUSE UNHAPPINESS & INCONVENIENCE TO OTHERS!?

And the best part is you(all) said that nobody cares for you(all) cause no-one actually asked why are you(all) acting like this. BUT WHAT THE FUCK MAN!? Like hell we know whats going on if you(all) don't say!? SEE! THIS IS THE PROBLEM, YOU(ALL) EXPECT PEOPLE TO GO YOUR WAY AND NOW EVEN TO READ YOUR THOUGHTS!?

Then if you(all) want some sympathy from your friends or whoever, please act like you(all) deserve it. Like, if you(all) need company cause you(all)'re feeling bad, why get all boiled up just because they can't be there at that point of time and do shit that pushes them further? Please be more sensible to understand that they may have something to attend to at that time.

Lastly, I want to clarify that this entry is not directed at any individual(s) or group(s). Its purely for self-realization & enlightenment purpose. But if you feel otherwise, then I think its time you(all) wake up your fucking ideas. Peace.

Something to share :D

Yummy, yum, yum! :D

Labour Day!

Hot Boys Kelong was disappointing. I was pretty damn shocked when I stepped into the main area. People having lunch with tons of double decker beds behind them. Was expecting at least some segregation between different groups, like rooms or something.
The worst part was that they actually switch off the power supply at around noon till early evening, which is the hottest/warmest part of the days.
Regrading the catch rate, well, plenty of palm sized inedible fishes and larger fishes once in a while. Maybe its not the season or something, nothing amazing.

Bottom line: I'll probably never return there under normal circumstance. & I strongly urge those who aren't that into fishing to think twice :D

I want to watch Ip Man 2!!!

Hot Boys, Sibu! Here I come!

A short get away to Hot Boys Kelong near Sibu Island, can't wait to chill!

& regarding our Redang trip, anyone interested please feel free to contact me, the more the merrier! (Hopefully there's still slot for us though :D)

Lastly,
Happy Birthday Qing Hui! :D
