our most-waited get-away to perhentian island..

hmmm...baru dapat blog pasal our get-away to perhentian island.. penat ar 1-2 hari ni...plus my wife is struggling to complete her post-graduate thesis at the moment...so die banyak gune my laptop....thinking of getting a PC for her...insya-Allah...

on June 26th, we all start the journey to rumah paksu kat Dungun..thinking of making a pit-stop at his house before we shoot to Perhentian Jeti on the following day.. it was a long drive.....huhu..i didnt know that the LPT dah siap sampai kemaman...dah lame x drive pg pantai timur..we exited the LPT at Gambang...huhu... paksu likes to brag about his self-made kolam ikan and his ikans....haha.. i watched Spain vs Russia euro semi-final with paksu that night... and as we all know, spain won and went on to win the final againts germany..

on the 27th, after breakfast, we started our journey to Perhentian Jeti...ahhhh....another long and tiring drive....soooo sangap tahap cipan...i didnt know the pantai way....so ikut hutan banat mane ntah...huhuh...nearly 3 hours....the journey should only be araound 2 hours through pantai way..

sign board cakap 12km...tp rase mcm 50km!! plus sesat and all...huhu

araound 1 o'clock samapi la kot kat jeti tu.... ade brother2 jage parking yg datang nak offer parking...tp xde la gua nak tinggal kete sebarangan....so, ape2 pn we all pg ke office travel agent tu dlu..because earlier they called about the parking... luckily they already stand by a parking spot for us..it was rm7 per day...damn..!! after everything dah setel ngan travel agent, we all naik la boat to the island...it was fun..!

on the boat...mase ni x laju lg....haha...mase laju abes sume jd singe..

u can even see the base of the ocean from the boat...waaa...belum snorkeling lg ni..

pool of fishes...ni baru near the beach...blom dalam lg..

sampai je after check-in, we had lunch...kire dah lambat dah ni... starving like cipan yg x makan sebulan...huhu..we had lunch at the hotel...because x tau lg kedai2 sekeliling.. wife ordered a nasi goreng pattaya...i ordered nasi goreng kampung...haha...macam kat kedai bese jer....nak buat mcmane.. i hate western and fast food...i like kampung style..heheh..

after lunch, we had a walk along the beach..and play with the sand..huhu...no activity sgt bile baru sampai...lgpun we took free-and-easy package...other than that we played with the water....sooooo clear....bleh nampak sume ikan...unlike kat pantai yg bese kitorang pg..

relaxing in the buaian....i dont know what was it called actually..

die nak jgk...haha

what a beautiful scenary..blue ocean...aaaaah...

after the-along-beach walk...we planned to have a rest in our room...not until i felt like having a swim in the pool...haha...the best thing is there was a 'biawak' inside the pool...hehe...not the big one la....kecik jer....of course because of that my wife didnt want to mandi wif me..haha... but she told me that die mmg xnak mandi pon..

look how cute is the biawak....huhu

wife said i look like a hippo...huhu...gumuk2..

after my hippo session, we went back to our room to get some nap.. sedar2 je dah 7.30...hoho...so tired of the journey...and then we siap2 for dinner... we went to a stall beside our hotel...ohhh...btw, we stayed at Arwana Perhentian Resort.. the stall called Samudra Cafe, i guess...kinda forgot the name already...the abg manager recommends the place....after waiting for almost 10 minutes, nobody come to serve us...i was confused....the cafe looked like it was open...they were other people...but none of them was eating...either they had a talk or they were watching football on tv..so we decided to have our dinner at the hotel instead...haha..

after filling our stomach with makanan kampung, we tok a walk along the beach one again...the air laut was surut...so the beach was wider...the scenery was dead gorgeous.. the sky was so beautiful...so many stars..we lied on the kerusi bersandar at the beach and enjoyed the sky..the was aslo sepoi2 bahase..

wife on the kerusi bersandar...

on the next day, snorkeling!! i was so exited....wife was not so excited...i could feel that she's nervous...we didnt bring our cam....damn...i tot we were not allowed to bring any cam...because i as thinking snorkeling is always under water...need to get an underwater cam on our next trip..there were many stops for snorkeling....the instructor, Abe Leh is so cool... there were spots for corals, nemo fish, ikan pari, TURTLES, and lastly.....hohoho....SHARKS..!!

no need to say more....it was canteeeekkkkk gleeeeee.... the fishes were so friendly....bawak je roti...they will go around us...they are not scared of us...it was so cool...my wife terjun jgk mule2...but then she was so panic...i tried to grab her...but still she was so panic...i struggled to bring her back to the boat....poor wife....from that point, die just tgk from the boat je... as for me, i enjoyed the snorkeling session till i was sooooo tired...sakit badan2 woooo...as for my wife....all she got was sun burnt..!! shian sayang....

sun burnt..??

tp serius nyesal gile x bawak cam.. bdak2 yg join kitorang satu boat bawak cam derang... ade tourist 2 orang lg tu lg best...siap bawak underwater cam lg... tp kitorang dah mintak bdak 2 org ni email kat kitorang gambor mase snorkeling tu.... so, ok la....still waiting for his email..

on the final day, we planned to go back early...because it's a very long drive...straight to Shah Alam...xde pit stop....after breakfast, we took a short walk....just to take few final pics...actually wife couldnt wait to go back...she missed home...i know that she didnt enjoy the snorkeling trip that much altho she said she enjoyed it as long as i enjoyed it.. maybe because of the 'tragedy' on the first stop during snorkeling...

one of our final pics before we go home..

after we arrived at the jeti, we took some time to get some souvenirs for our family.. nothing fancy, just some t-shirts and key-chains.. on our back home we berenti makan and beli some keropok... at Kuala Tennganu, we stop for our prayer at Masjid Kristal.. they were lots of people..it was a nice mosque..

Masjid Kristal..

we arrived home aound 12 that night... i was so tired....even tho my wife drove from temerloh to home..they were few accidents along the way...sampai je rumah ape lg...tdo trus..!!seb baik the next day kitorang cuti..hehe...

my favorite espana t-shirt... a gift from wife..

that's it for now..!! peace out..!!
