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
