Island Hopping-Perhentian,Redang and Lang Tengah

Was back from 3 days 2 nights Island Hopping at Perhentian, Redang and Lang Tengah. It was a last minute planning because my cousin will be going for National service very soon so we decided to go for a holiday together. We planned, confirmed and booked everything 5 days before we leave..thanks to Yen Mee who introduced Ah Han aka Wchoch (enthuse diver) to us. He settled everything (accommodation, food, boat and land transfer, snorkering package in 3 island, equipment etc) with reasonable cheap price. We only have to buy our air ticket to Kota Bharu airport. We depart to the airport around 6am to the LCCT airport on 13th June for flight at 7.40am. It took us only 40minutes to reach (15minutes ahead from actual estimated time) Kota Bharu airport. They had arranged a taxi driver to pick us up at the airport to Kuala Besut jetty. Didn't know the distance from airport to the jetty was so long...it took us about 1 and half hours! From jetty, we took the speedboat to our resort. We stayed at Fauna Chalet, Teluk Dalam Beach at Perhentian Besar. Not bad for budget stay but the mosquitos are big and annoying.

After lunch, We went snorkering at Perhentian Island. Famous for its Long Beach, Tiga Ruang, Teluk Pauh, Tanjung Genting, Shark Point and Air Berani. We're lucky to see the shark about 1.5m long, huge sea turtle, nemo and baby turtles too! There're more than 150 of them.

After snorkering and bitten by some little fishies, we went back to our chalet for some safety tips on our next adventure~~Diving! We went for discovery diving and the experience was awesome! the air tank is heavy but it's fine under the water. They added a 4kg weight on my waist which makes me sink and keep touching the ground underwater..and I need to keep pumping some air when I swim. The only thing that really bothers me was my contact lenses being too long underwater in the salted sea was bad but it gets well after that. It was all worth it! We're all tired on the very first day so we ate a lot for dinner LOL. We stroll along the beach and saw some blue sand..which they said they're actually one kind of prawn's eggs :)

The next day, we went snorkering again. This time to Redang Island. We went to the Long Beach where the rebuilt More More Tea Inn was. The delicate silky white sand and the crystal clear water was amazing! Snorkering around the whole little island at the beach was tiring but it was great to swim along with the baby sharks!

We then head to the Marine Park where we get to see huge eel and loads of colourful fish. Wanted to take some underwater photos with the fish so life jacket was taken off. Holding breathe was not hard but diving into the water was hard...I kept floating up by itself.. Even the diver finds it hard to pull me down..LOL. Maybe my body fat makes me float :P Swimming without the life jacket was cool..as you can swim easier and get close to the fish. We then proceed to Lang Tengah for more beautiful corals.

After the whole day of snorkering, we went back to our resort and start building sand castles..finally we build a sand cake for our cousin YungYung's 21st birthday. While we're busy building the sand thingy, the naughty little monkey came jumping and out of a sudden it grabs my leg and start bitting..damn..I was shocked and not quick enough to react..just screamed and tried to get rid of it but it grab me so tight..then a guy came and quickly kick it away. Lucky it was a small little monkey with it's teeth blunted. My leg was left with light scar and teeth mark. *phew~ That night we celebrated her birthday together with Wchoch's magic tricks and such a coincident that an actor (a bad guy named Spark) from the movie 'Mat Rempit' was there with us to play his guitar and sing. The funniest part was when my uncle went drunk dancing with Tony. They did some wicked moves which makes everyone laughed like mad LMAO.

We're suppose to go for jungle trekking the next morning but the weather is not too good and no guide for us so it was cancelled. Everyone were pretty tired so we just stroll by the beach and take more photos before we leave the wonderdul island. T_T We left the island with wonderful experience and I feel like going for Open Water and diving license soon..haha..if only I have enough time and $$ :P

This place is highly recommended for all to visit! and anyone interested going..please ask me to join along! I'm lovin' it....wahahahaha..

New Zodiac?! Am I a Libra or Virgo now?

Recently found an interesting topic. I'm pretty sure everyone knows which Zodiac they belongs to according to their date of birth but the Zodiac that everyone is familiar with today is going to change. I don't know how true (Can anyone find out?) but today, due to shifts in the earth's rotation and orbit, the sun moves through 13 constellations instead of 12 constellations 2500 years ago. Ophiuchus is a zodiacal constellation added but does not lend its name to an astrological sign.

Here's the updated version:

Pisces (March 13 - April 19)
Aries (April 20 - May 12)
Taurus (May 13 - June 20)
Gemini (June 21 - July 19)
Cancer (July 20 - August 11)
Leo (August 12 - September 17)
Virgo (Sepetember 18 - October 31)
Libra (November 1 - November 21)
Scorpius (November 22 - November30)
Ophiuchus (December 1 - December 18) new
Sagittarius (December 19 - January 18)
Capricorn (January 19 - February 17)
Aquarius (February 18 - March 12)

Should I start to count myself in as a Virgo? I'm a Libra for 25years! Oops.. :P I still love being a Libra..who cares

It was 3 months ago since I last updated my blog. Well there are plenty of stuff we can do at home if not working..especially with all the cleaning and tidying my room but it's yet to be 100% dust-free. I gave up the cleaning but catching up some latest TVB series was what I did really. Oh ya and being my sis's part time driver to college and I'm getting bored going window-shopping after a few months. Why only window shopping? I'm tryin to save some money so that I can survive in ^^ soon... and I'm on diet..I don't wanna waste buying a new size later :P *as if I'll really slim down..I'm more than happy not gaining any weight :P

Wanna see something? Do you like jambu air? I think you can only find them in Asian countries. Their price are quite high in supermarkets. Guess what? We've jambu tree in our garden! Our jambu tree is not very big but the fruit itself is BIG..some can reach 4inches! They are so juicy, crunchy, and simply delicious! It's all my dad's effort for growing them. I really admires my dad. Besides golf, he's good in gardening too! Love you daddy!

Roy is more than happy modelling for the jambu :P

Sometimes enjoying the clouds, sunset and night view at home can be so.....I don't really know how to express the feeling..just enjoy the pictures :)

Enjoying all these at home is good but sometimes if might be quite dangerous...nowadays. Crime increased since the economy crisis. Early April, there was a thief who actually climbed through our fence. We did suspect something was wrong...the dog was barking non-stop. The neighbour from the other side of the road actually saw some somebody climbed through our fence and informed us immediately. We're shocked so we locked all the doors. All the females and kids stay at home but my dad and brother went out with their golf stick and 'rotan' (bamboo sticks?) and try to search around the garden as the area is too big..they couldn't find where the thief hide. Suddenly we heard people shouting. The thief actually jumped over to our neighbour's house and broke into their kitchen already. Their 2 elder sons (very big size) caught the thief and tied him up. Called up the police. The thief threaten them saying that he has gun and one of his friend manage to escape was also armed. They searched his body but did not find any gun but a knife. We're just worried if it's true there's another armed man around so we waited for the police to come. Damn..we're getting tired..about 45minutes later only the police arrived..i wonder what takes them so long?! Kanasai..the police station is only 2 kilometres from our house! They just came and took the thief away then taking their guns and wonder around the garden and they couldn't find any suspect so off they go.. *sad.... we just have to be extra precautious going in and out now.

Look! This is my cousin's puppy! So cute!

Mothers' Day on 10th May this year, we had steamboat at home. There were a total of 5 mothers at home that day. My mum, 2 sisters in-law, amah and our maid. Looks/sounds simple but we're happy being together. It doesn't have to be only for Mothers Day. We should all appreciate every moment together...I love you mum!

Wishes all mothers Happy Mothers Day!

Decision made..treasure all you have..

Chinese New Year 2009 is over...Had a great one..but when it comes to February, everything doesn't seem so good.. company is not doing well..offering VSS for all staffs.. I'm not sure if this is good..but later on I found that this issue has brought me into serious consideration and decision making. I wanted to do something I would love doing...I need to change into a different area.. but I laid back and procrastinate. I'm worried that I will fall into the comfort zone whereby I already know that I'm not suitable for this job. This is the best time for me to break through. I must be determined on what I want now! Will wait for the results.....

We went to House Frankfurt on Valentines eve...highly recommended. The owner, Peter Jarl is too kind to offer us vodka and of course the food was good!
House Frankfurt Restaurant (Impressions of Germany. Please go and have a try when you're free. Below is the address:
12, Jalan Telawi 5, Bangsar Baru, 59100 Kuala Lumpur

Received a bad news on Valentines day. My friend was involved in a serious accident on Valentines eve.. she is badly injured but her sis..... :( See, I don't want to talk about this but I feel ashame on the reckless lorry driver which fall asleep that causes the accident.. I seriously think that the lorry driver should be the one to be blame of. I know there's no point for blaming as it already happened but everyone should be responsible on what they do..like driving..please drive carefully.. Anyhow, I really hope she will recover soon...
Things are really unpredictable...we won't know what will happen.. that's why people who had experience pain or lost will advice to appreciate and treasure things that you have at the moment, especially the love ones but we tend to take them for granted. We all should start to learn what this really means..in fact me myself is still learning....
