Bali November 2008

1st day
10.30am - fly off to Denpasar, Bali

1.30pm - arrived at Bandar Udara Ngurah Rai, Bali...sampai2 je dah ade org tggu...terus ke Matahari Bungalow, check in, rehat sekejap pastu terus ke lobby hotel utk dgr Pak Rudy nk promo tour package hotel...lepas dah kowtim ngan Pak Rudy, kitorg proceed jalan2 kat sekitar Kuta...

4.45pm - makan KFC (halal)...kitorg lapar giler sbb x lunch lagi...meal set dia ade nasi putih...pastu mahayu tambah begedel...haaa...KFC sana ade begedel tuh...sedap plak tuh! serius! hehehehe...lepas makan, kitorg jalan2 lagi nak gi tgk sunset kat Kuta beach...ramai giler kat tepi pantai tuh...x ramai yg swim...ramai lepak2 n surfing...but...unfortunately, that day mendung...so, x dapat la nk tgk sunset...then, we decided to go to Centro-a shopping mall kat Kuta...since dah penat jalan, kitorg amik cab aka Bluebird (teksi bermeter-x payah nak nego2).

Kat Centro kitorg just hangout sambil makan Baskin & Robin...pastu ade live band kat tepi pantai...best diorg nyanyi...lepas tuh kitorg jalan ke Pasar Seni...beli souvenir (fridge magnet, bags etc....and beli topi pink yg cute!)

8.00pm - kitorg sampai hotel and siap2 nak swim plak...tapi hujan...dapatlah 5 minit je swim kot...hehehehe...basically malam tuh xde wat ape2 pun...lepak2 je kat bilik sbb hujan...

2nd day
7.40am - breakfast kat hotel...menu - nasi goreng, roti bakar, coffee/tea, orange juice....tiap2 hari sama!

8.30am - Bertolak ke destinansi pertama - kitorg amik tour pakej - Batu Bulan (Barong Dance) + Ubud (Batik) + Tegal Lalang (Rice Terrace) + Kintamani (Lunch+Volcano) + Goa Gajah (old Pura/Temple) + Tanah Lot = RP 375k or lebih kurang RM 133 (termasuk kereta-Avanza & driver)

9.00am - Barong Dance started. Performance berlangsung selama 1 jam....quite boring sbb byk scene yg macam dragging...kisahnyer panjang jugak...entrance fee utk tgk performance ni RP50k / RM17



10.10am - Proceed to Ubud...Ubud ni macam kota kesenian...kat Ubud ni ade tempat buat batik, emas & perak, painting, ukiran etc...tapi kitorg gi tempat batik je sbb kalau nak pegi sumer nnt x sempat nk tgk sunset...diorg lukis batik kat atas tgn jek....x payah pakai pemidang...nk beli batik kat situ mahal...so, utk x terkilan, beli la jugak souvenir...

11.10am - kitorg spent about 20 minit kat situ, then kitorg terus ke Tegal Lalang nak tgk rice terrace.....pemandangan mmg cun giler...kat sini driver tuh dah bagi warning jgn layan org yg jual2...diorg akan follow sampai ke kereta...jgn bargain kalau betul2 x nak beli...sbb diorg akan push kita suh beli...

12.45pm - sampai ke Kintamani. Entrance fee RP5k/pax or RM1.70... Kintamani nih kat tanah tinggi...so, sejuk je...kat sini pemandangan mmg cun giler! blh lunch sambil tgk Bukit Batur - volcano yg still aktif...tempat lunch open air...mmg pengalaman yg best sgt2! Buffet lunch cost us RP100k / RM35


1.45pm - dah kenyang, terus ke Goa Gajah...on the way, singgah Widhu Segara- kedai souvenir...kitorg beli Bali coffee kat sini...

3.00pm - sampai ke Goa Gajah...entrance fee RP6k/pax or RM2.10...kalau nak masuk dalam ni, ade gak pantang larangnyer....org yg tgh period x blh masuk...kalau yg pakai skirt or seluar atas lutut pun x blh msk...kena pakai sarung yg disediakan...dah puas amik gambar, kitorg terus ke Tanah Lot...

4.45pm - sampai Tanah Lot...kat sini byk kedai2 jual souvenir2...kat sini blh bargain murah compare tempat lain...so, kitorg borong selipar manik at least 13 pasang sorang...blh dapat RP10k / RM3.50 je sepasang...kalau kat tempat lain diorg jual paling murah pun RP20k / RM7.00...

Kat Tanah Lot ni ade satu temple kat atas pulau...kalau air surut, kita blh pegi...mase kitorg sampai air dah pasang...so, kitorg cuma menikmati sunset kat tepi pantai je of which mmg cantik sgt! Kat Bali, waktu sama dgn M'sia...cuma pkl 6 diorg macam pkl 7 kiter...macam kat Sabah la...so, sunset lebih kurang pkl 6 ptg...

6.45pm - bertolak balik ke Kuta...penat seharian berjalan...malam kitorg nak relax...x sabar nak gi SPA...sampai hotel, dah kelaparan, kitorg order pizza hut delivered to our hotel. nk kuar cari makan x tau mana kedai halal...senang citer makan fast food je yg mmg halal...kat Bali popular dgn menu Babi Guling...kat mana2 ade je...bersepah...hehehe

9.00pm - kitorg gi SPA kat hotel tuh je sbb malas nk kuar...SPA kat sana mmg murah...full body scrub+massage utk 1 jam 15 minit baru RP150k or RM53 jek...siap ade free 10 minit foot reflexogy...lepas tuh kitorg tambah pedicure...RP70k or RM24...actually kalau kat luar hotel blh dapat lagi murah...less than RM30 pun blh dapat utk full body balinese massage utk sejam ke sejam setengah...

12.00am - kaki dah cun, badan dah diurut, ape lagi.....tido...hehehe

3rd day
8.00am - bfast...menu sama...cuma diorg ade tambah lempeng...hehehe...idayu x nak bfast...takut muntah sbb hr ni kitorg akan menghabiskan half day kat Nusa Dua utk water sport activities...

9.00am - bertolak ke Nusa Dua...utk pakej hari ni Nusa Dua (Glass Bottom Boat + Snorkelling + Parasailing + Turtle Island) + Uluwatu (Kecak Dance) + Jimbaran (Dinner) = RP350/pax or RM124 sahaja...tapi blh kata murah la jugak aktiviti kat sana...kalau nk naik parasailing sahaja about RP75k or RM26 jek! banana boat kat Sabah pun x lepas dgn harga tuh!

sampai 2 jek, kitorg dah ready nak snorkeling.....masing2 dah berdebar especially mahayu bila pikir nak naik parasailing... kat situ kitorg tambah lagi satu aktiviti-flying fish...

1st activity - snorkeling...hmmm...kitorg ni bersemangat nk snorkeling...igt jauh la dia nak bawak...rupanyer kat pantai tu jugak cuma ke tengah laut je sket...pastu tgk air laut hampeh! keruh...kitorg kecewa giler...tapi dah bayar, masuk la jugak dalam air...satu benda pun x nampak...dah la byk bot kat situ...ade la 10 minit main2 dalam air amik gambar, kitorg naik bot terus...suh pakcik tuh proceed ke turtle island...

Tempat turtle island ni namanyer Deluang Sari...kat sini ade penyu, ular, kelawar, helang, biawak and a few binatang lain yg kite blh amik gambar...selain dari tuh, xde ape2 pun yg menarik...kat situ jugak kiter kena bagi donation...kitorg dah la x bawak duit...siap bagi bil tuh suh byr kat pantai nnt...sabo je la...

11.15am - balik ke pantai utk flying fish and parasailing...masing2 dah berdebar...1st time ni... flying fish max 2 org je skali naik, so, both ayu naik dulu...




lepas tuh kitorg proceed naik parasailing...ni kire ultimate water sport kitorg la for the day...memang best giler2! tapi idayu kecewa sbb mahayu x amik gambar dia take off...hehehe...lunch provided...nasi goreng ngan telur mata kerbau je...


1.00pm - balik ke hotel.....setengah jam dah sampai...lepak2 jap, mandi...terus siap2 nk jalan2 kat Kuta...

2.50pm - kitorg shopping dekat2 ngan hotel jek....sementara nak tggu pkl 4.30pm nk ke Uluwatu plak...

5.30pm - sampai ke Uluwatu...nk masuk kena bayar byr RP3k/pax or RM1...dan sape2 nak masuk kena pakai kain ikat...yg pakai skirt n seluar atas lutut pun kena pakai sarung...kat situ banyak giler monyet...nakal plak tuh...x blh tgk benda2 yg tergantung, sure dia nak amik... on the way ke gelanggang Kecak Dance tuh, kitorg lalu tepi pantai.....pemandangan mmg yg paling cantik yg penah tgk...kitorg kat atas bukit, bawah tu laut lepas saujana mata memandang.....x dpat nk digambarkan betapa cantiknyer pemandangan kat situ....serius!

6.00pm - Kecak Dance bermula...entrance fee RP50k / RM17...show ni satu jam...boring...ape yg menarik, diorg x pakai alat muzik macam Barong Dance...but accompanied by a choir of 70 men...

Dapat jugak tgk sunset kat sini...cantik!



7.00pm - terus ke Jimbaran...sampai lebih kurang 7.30pm...kat sini terkenal ngan seafood...restoren yg driver tuh bawak namanyer AMC...kat sini ade byk restoren disepanjang pantai...

Kitorg pilih dinner kat luar...open air...tapi pantai...candle light...siap ade org nyanyi meja ke meja..mahayu siap request lagu Broery....tapi seafood dia mmg harga mahal giler sbb kitorg suspect dia bagi harga tourist...kitorg amik udang, sotong, ketam, ikan, mussel..pastu ade nasi dan sayur kangkung...semuanyer RP 1 juta! or RM350! kitorg 3 org jek...kalau kat malaysia dah blh 2 kali makan...tapi diorg masak mmg sedap...

tgh2 makan, hari macam nak hujan...kitorg pun pindah masuk dalam....dah makan separuh ni...diorg angkut dgn meja2 skali bawak masuk dalam...hehehe

The Series of Unfortunate Events Part II

HUUUUWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, dah x tau nak cakap ape dah.....nk mengeluh x elok tapi berat sungguh rasanyer bahu yg memikul nih...lepas satu, satu dugaan datang menguji kesabaran di bulan Ramadhan yg mulia nih...huhuhuhu...

Sebulan yg lepas, rumah kena masuk pencuri, notebook hilang......seminggu lepas, tayar keta plak kena curik sebijik...........SEMALAM, CERMIN KETA BELAKANG PECAH!...thanks to orang yg mesin rumput yg langsung x bertanggungjawab...sedih giler2...dah la nak raya...bajet raya hbs...mak nak bekas kuih raya pun belum belikan lagi...nasib baju raya sumer awal2 dah setel...

Hari Jumaat elok je park keta...Sabtu ptg tuh plan nk kuar gi KL ngan Radi....nk cari tudung la kononnyer...turun2 jek tgk cermin belakang dah retak seribu...mujur cermin tuh tinted, kalau x, sure dah berterabur...ptg hujan plak tuh.....terus x jadi gi kl...last2 gi pasar ramadhan je cari makanan untuk buka puasa...

lucky for me i have brothers here in KL.....they helped me fix the car...i just have to prepare the money...hehehehe...WELL! ini adalah satu dugaan selepas dugaan2 lain.....redha, pasrah dan muhasabah diri...*wink wink*

5 Kitties.....Yeaayyyyy!!!

Balik dari konsert Avril, bukak je pintu dgr suara anak kucing...YEAAYYYYYY!!!! Ming dah deliver...Ming deliver kat bawah meja komputer kat ruang tamu...ade 3 ekor...2 putih, 1 hitam...ingatkan 3 ekor tu je...lepas pindahkan all the kitties kat atas tray, Ming delivered lagi sekor...then x lama lepas tuh, another kitty was born...so, altogether ade 5 kitties...2 putih, 3 gelap...hehehe...tapi satu tuh kaler hitam+oren....sumer kitties comel sgt2...

i've watched Ming delivered the last two...and i've watched how Ming cleanup up all the kitties...i was soooo amazed...sungguh besar kurniaan Allah Maha Besar walaupun kepada binatang...

Unfortunately, i cant house them all...i ll keep one or two and have to give out the rest...:-(....so, whoever interested, let me know ok...hehehehe

The Series of Unfortunate Events

Satu pagi yg tenang.....hari Khamis, 28 August 2008, 8.10am...pagi tuh rasa sama je macam pagi2 sebelum ni...make sure rumah dah kunci sebaiknyer, turun dari apartment, terus masuk kereta...hidupkan enjin...masuk gear D...tekan minyak...jalan.......

GEDEBUKKKK (errr...camtuh ke bunyi dia? hmmm...belasah je la...)...benda pertama yg terlintas dalam minda aku waktu tuh "NI MESTI TAYAR KETA AKU XDE NI"...aku pun matikan enjin, turun dari keta, terus gi belakang...SAH!!! one of the tyres was gone!!! hilang!!! huwaaaaaa.....x tau dah nak pikir ape waktu tuh...baru sebulan umah kena pecah, notebook hilang...ni tayar plak hilang sebijik...huhuhuhuhuhu...(sambil membayangkan fulus2 berterbangan...ahaks)

hmmm...nak kena pasang tayar spare pulak...sape ade ek nk mintak tolong...cam xde org jek...ramai dah gi keje...kalau ade pun, belum tentu diorg nk tolong...i could always walk to the workshop nearby and ask them to put on the spare tyre...tapi...

tapi akhirnyer aku pasang tayar spare tuh sendiri...dgn baju kurung (mujur pakai flats), berpeluh2 gak la jek keta, pasang tayar tuh.....dah la x tau nk letak jek kat ne...first time la katakan...sumer org aku call tanyer...finally berjaya gak...lama gak la masa di ambil nk pasang tayar je...hehehe...siap sempat rehat...hehehhe

lepas tuh gi bawak workshop mintak tolong ketatkan skru and survey harga rim, tayar and lock nut...mentang2 aku ni pompuan, sesedap ati jek dia quote aku mahal2...cari2 kedai biasa sumer xde jual rim serupa...2nd hand pun xde...kalau nk gak kena order ngan Perodua which is mahal giler (satu rim dia jual RM400++ x termasuk tayar tuh)

2nd option....balik kg...cari kat Melaka jek...mujur la ade kedai ni mmg glamer utk org2 yg suka trade in, tukar rim etc...and very fortunate to me dia agree nk jual satu jek...2nd hand rim and 2nd hand tyre cost me RM220...oklah tuh...rim and tayar tu pun nmpk baru sbb diorg trade in tkr rim besar...not bcoz of accident whatsoever...

so...beres satu hal....and banyak lagi hal x beres....nk cari umah sewa lain yg secure...bajet...raya...servis...huhuhuhuhuhuhu..........pengsan!!!

Notebook-less @ 29 July 2008

Hmmm.....masuk kali nih dah 2 kali rumah sewa aku kena pecah masuk...ni x puas hati nih! tau la umah aku cantik...hehehe...

Kali pertama dulu, kena pecah masuk waktu nk dekat raya cina...mase tuh baru 3 bulan duk situ. Dah la memang beria mencuri.....hbs sumer bilik dia sepahkan...tunggang langgang dah macam baru lepas ribut jek...tv, dvd player, duit, perfume, laptop, pda...charger camera aku pun dia sapu skali (nasib camera bawak gi opis time tuh)...brg aku yg hilang cuma duit syiling yg aku kumpul (ada lah dalam Rm20 kot) and charger camera....yg lain byk brg housemate aku (sian diorg)...yg kelakarnyer.....satu jag air dalam peti ais pun lesap! penat sgt kot angkat brg, pekena air sejuk bes tuh!....sebenarnya mase tuh aku ade simpan 3 urat gelang emas kat atas meja dalam kotak kat bilik tapi alhamdulillah...pencuri tuh x perasan...mungkin dia igt brg merepek (sbb aku byk kotak atas meja wat isi brooch, gelang, rantai etc)...dia bukak semua kotak2 tuh except yg isi gelang emas...(sayang gelang tuh..mak belikan pakai duit jual durian & rambutan tau!)

Beberapa minggu lepas kejadian tuh agak trauma la...tido pun ramai2....pastu pantang dengar bunyi sket dah nervous semacam...

Kali ni plak.....mmg berani la pencuri nih.....pecah masuk time housemate aku ade rumah tuh (tapi kat tingkat ats).....waktu kejadian antara pkl 8.15 pagi hingga 10.30 pagi (diorg nih mmg wat keje2 curi ni pagi kot sbb yg dulu pun pagi gak!)...mase aku kuar pkl 8.15pg tuh, aku kunci gril and tekan tombol pintu papan tapi x mangga sbb housemate aku ade umah...

Tapi dia berjaya gak masuk tuh tanpa kesan pecah (salah satu sebab, tombol pintu papan aku tu kdg2 x function-aku baru tau hari tuh..cis!)...memang rezeki pencuri tuh...(errr...blh dikire rezeki ke???hmmm....)...so, kitorg wat kesimpulan, dia tau ade org kat ats, so, dia grab je ape dia nampak....which was my notebook yg mmg terpampang tggu di amik kat ruang tamu...huhuhu...pastu, pencuri tuh keluar dan sendal pintu dgn selipar (takut pintu tutup nnt bunyi kot)...yg lain2 x hilang....except the notebook and MING!

Mase 10.30 pg housemate aku turun, dia tgk pintu terbukak and laptop aku xde.....tapi dia x bgtau aku...dah ptg baru cakap...tu pun sbb aku tanye something kat dia...yg sedihnyer....dia kata Ming xde....puas dia cari dalam umah tapi xde jugak.....mula la aku nak nangis waktu tuh...

So, aku pun mintak time off and balik....sampai umah, aku x naik umah dulu...tapi straight gi cari Ming....waktu on the way balik tuh pun aku dah melalak dah dalam keta sbb imagine hidup aku lepas ni tanpa Ming...huwaaaaaaaaaa.....

Aku pun cari la Ming keliling blok apartment tuh....x jumpa....sedih ni...naik atas dulu cek barang lain takut hilang....lepas cek sumer brg ade, then, waktu nk kuar gi report polis, terdengar plak suara kucing mengiau....suara macam kenal...aku pun macam lipas kudung la turun tangga...sampai bawah x nmpk pun kucing....rupa2nye dia duduk kat belakang tangga tingkat bawah skali....mase tuh memang rasa lega giler sbb jumpa balik Ming (dahla Ming pregnant)......

Then, pegi la balai polis, kedai kunci sumer wat ape yg patut.....aku terpikir sebenarnyer nk kuar je dari umah tuh....tapi aku rasa aku belong to that house.....hmmm.....

Waktu aku sedih2 Ming hilang tuh, ade lah kawan aku sorang ni (u-know-who-u-r) siap gembira2 Ming aku hilang pastu lagi nk tanye aku nangis ke x padahal tau sgt aku sedih...so, lepas ni, kalau ko dtg umah aku, siaplah....aku suh Ming gigit2, cakar2 ko nnt!!!....hehehehhe....

Sabah @ April 2008

Akhirnya sampai jugak kitorg ke Sabah...kitorg stay kat Kinabalu Daya Hotel...mase mula2 nk decide duk hotel nih, kitorg google dulu...kebanyakan review semua negatif...tapi according to my colleague kat Sabah, the hotel has been refurbished...so, it turned out quite nice...since kitorg cuma stay 3d2n je, masa tuh agak terbatas...masa mula2 beli tiket dulu, x sangka plak byk tempat best kat Sabah...kitorg bernasib baik sbb ada colleague kat Sabah -Victor & Dean yg very helpful to show us around the town....org Sabah mmg baik bahhhh....:)

First day pagi, sampai2 jek terus gi island hopping......we wish we could go to Sipadan or Mabul (hahaha..we wish!!!)...so kitorg gi Pulau Manukan & Pulau Mamutik lebih kurang 15 minit boat ride...Apelagi....snorkeling je lah kitorg satu hari tuh...

Naik banana boat pun mahal jugak kat sana...sorang RM30 tuh....dah la mahal, pastu mmg laju giler dia bawak....then saje2 terbalik kan banana boat tuh kat tgh2 laut.....kak su dah panik giler sbb dia x reti swim...kitorg kena jadi pelampung dia...hehehehe...

Nemo kat Sabah ni friendly giler.....

Kenyang ikan2 kat Sabah ni....x payah susah2 cari mknn...

That night we had our dinner at Anjung Senja...Anjung Senja ni cam tempat makan biasa jek....cam warung2 tapi byk and the location best jugak la sbb by the sea...walaupun diorg kata seafood sana murah, kitorg makan 4 org sampai 80++...maybe yg murah tuh yg raw....kitorg amik nasi goreng, ikan kerapu seekor, ade lah lauk lain sket pun dah nk almost 100...mmg mahal giler....pastu kitorg order sayap madu aka chicken wings...hehehe

Hari kedua....Dean took us around the town...development kat KK Sabah mmg pesat....they are building up the water front, a lot of commercial centres, shopping malls are coming up.....to be one of the tourist attraction...Tempat yg x blh miss ialah Pasar Filipina (pic)...sejak dulu, pasar ni mmg wood based (imagine kalau ade fire...)... kat dalam tu banyak giler small2 shop/kiosk jual barang2 kraf, pearls, brooch, bracelets...rantai....mmg tempat paling sesuai utk org pompuan shopping.....hehehe...sbb nk bargain harga murah, kitorg semua borong kat satu kedai jek...dapat la jugak diskaun....mmg rezeki kedai tuh...senang2 dapat more than RM1K sekelip mata jek...hehehe....Kat KK nih, tempat2 dia blh kata walking distance....cari hotel yg betul2 kat town then blh jalan kaki je nk gi Pasar Filipina, jetty, shopping mall, tempat makan....

Malam tuh Dean bawak kitorg gi makan seafood yg mmg best giler.....(Dean belanja!)...mmg berbaloi la kalau mahal pun....kitorg order sayur sabah, kerang putih, udang, ikan..ntah ape lagi nama seafood pun x tau....ade la dalam 6 jenis lauk.....mmg best gilerrrrr!!!

Hari ketiga sebelum balik sempat gi Pasar Gaya (Sunday Market) kat Jalan Gaya (pic) yg hanye dibuka hari ahad seawal 6 pagi....6 pagi dah terang kat sana....kat sini pun blh bargain dapat brg murah...yg lain nyer pasar ni, diorg banyak jual binatang exotic...dari tikus ke anjing, macam2 binatang ada...

Perhentian @ July 2008

After Pulau Tioman, next was Pulau Perhentian……I expected this trip was going to be the same like Tioman and Redang…but this trip promised us extra fun coz we were swimming with turtles and sharks and we met cute baby turtles……Me, Radi, Byot & Ecah (from KL) met AyuDcs & Ieta (from Kuantan) at Kuala Besut Jetty.

The bus ride was a hell to me.....the bus was stinky and stuffy.....the worst part was, there was leaking and my backpack together with my clothes inside were wet and i had to dry them first as soon as we checked in (otherwise i had no clothes to wear except for my swimming suit!)....

We managed to get full board snorkeling package for RM350 even after the increase in oil price. We were informed that all the boat fare etc have been increased. Perhentian was not that far from the Kuala Besut as it took about 1/2 hour journey by speed boat (compared to almost 2 hour boat journey to Tioman!)...We stayed at Ayumni House Chalet which was quite ok (except for the electricity which only available for certain time only bcoz they were using generators).

We had fun and really enjoyed ourselves every second when we were there....here goes our priceless memories and experiences.....

Tioman @ May 2008

Tioman mmg best!!! Dari jeti Mersing ke Pulau Tioman lebih kurang hampir 2 jam…memabukkan....phewwwww.....…tapi memang berbaloi…kitorg stay kat Panuba Inn (highly recommended!)…Panuba Inn memang tempat private and makanan pun not bad…bilik kitorg menghadap laut…memang bes giler….tido malam dgr ombak, bgn pagi dgr ombak…full board package including snorkeling trip cost us RM350…semuanyer 10 org - Me, AyuDcs, AyuMcD, Ieta, Fadly, Bul, Uda, Shikin, Kok and his girlfriend. We were having fun and the place was sooooo beautiful with crystal clear water.....corals were everywhere, beautiful fish and the scenery was amazing.....here are a few shots while we were there......

Ni lah dia resort yg kitorg stay- Panuba Inn Resort....mmg best! serius! highly recommended! selesa, food sedap & harga quite reasonable

Ini view dari bilik kitorg.....mase kitorg sampai dah mlm....so, blh dengar je la bunyi ombak yg kuat giler.....pkl 6 pagi dah bangun....dalam mamai2 tuh kitorg lepak kat balkoni tggu hari terang sbb x sabar nk tgk view dari balkoni....hehehe

Mase ni pkl 7 lebih pagi.....x sabar nk mandi pantai lepas tgk air laut dari balkoni...

Kat mana2 tempat snorkeling, ikan ni lah yg paling byk...ape nama ikan ni ek? kitorg pun x tau....hehehhe

Lepas penat snorkeling, ktiorg di bawa ke Coral Island berehat sekejap sebelum sambung snorkeling lagi....Coral Island nih mmg cun giler pantai dia.....white sandy beach....crystal clear water.....really beautiful.....

hmmm....tgk je la air laut ni....rasa macam swimming kat pool jek...mmg cantik giler

Best frens ever!!! From left....AyuMcD, Me, AyuDcs and Ieta....ini lah kengkawan kalau gi trip.....bosan? mmg bosan pun asyik ngadap muka diorg nih...hehehe...tapi diorg mmg best...frens forever!

On the right is what we called "the creepy coral".....coral ni ada kat Pulau Renggis.....masa tuh tanpa kitorg sedar, dah jauh snorkeling dari pulau...dah nk ke tengah laut....arus dalam laut pun kuat giler....konon nyer nk gi jauh sikit nk tgk turtle sbb abg bot tu kate ade penyu kat area situ.....then kitorg terjumpa coral nih satu je kat tgh2 laut tuh...macam pulau dalam laut plak....mmg cantik....tapi tanpa kitorg sedar, arus kuat dah bawak kitorg jauh nk ke tengah laut....ape lagi...panik la kitorg...masing2 struggling nk balik ke bot dan kitorg sedaya upaya melawan arus.....

Dalam bersusah payah masing2 nk balik ke bot, ade lah pulak yg tertinggal kat belakang...makin lama makin jauh tertinggal...maka bermula la operasi menyelemat...hehehe...jejaka2 yg join trip kitorg nih x reti swim la plak...tapi yg lain manage ke depan slowly except si Bul sorang nih yg dah panik kat tgh2 laut sambil jerit2 "rasa cam nak mati dah......tolong!!!"

Mase tuh aku dah la x pakai life jacket.....blh ke nk tolong selamatkan dia ni? yg lain sumer dah ke depan...sian la plak tgk muka dia dah ketakutan...arus plak kuat....kalau lambat2 lagi hanyut nnt...then, dgn segala kudrat perempuan yg ada nih, patah la balik gi tarik dia (macam dalam gmbr)....dah la berat....jauh plak tuh nk sampai bot....Ieta & Mahayu pun masing2 ade penumpang jugak...bebudak laki ni kena amik course berenang dulu la patutnye....ade ke kitorg yg pompuan ni selamatkan diorg...ish ish ish....Berasak jugak la kitorg nih berusaha gi ke bot...alhamdulillah....semua org selamat sampai...

Selain snorkeling, sempat la jugak kitorg singgah kat tempat perahu layar...tempat ni baru siap milik Marina Mahathir (kalau x silap)...dekat2 area ni pun ade free duty shops and kampung....

cantik kan? the sight was breathtaking!!!

Sebelum balik, sempat lagi diorg nih bermandi manda....
