My Perhentian adventure - Part 3

Day 3 - Rain rain go away...
Men and Cindy decided to give snorkelling a skip as they were both suffering from quite severe sun burn.

So Mon and I went for our morning snorkelling session. We decided to skip the afternoon half cos we wanted a good r & r by the beach with absolutely nothing to do.

We snorkelled around Perhentian island area. We went to our 1st stop - Shark's point in the hope to see some sharks. I was snorkelling by myself, when my guide stopped me and asked me to wait at a certain spot with him cos he said, "this is the highway where sharks go pass everyday...wait here for them with me".

*sweat sweat*

It was very inviting, and yet, i was nervous to death. Cos i really have no bloody idea how i'll react when i see one (or more than one sharks!!!).

Anyway, we didnt see any.

Was kinda relieved, but disappointed at the same time.

Next, we went to look for sea turtles. And yes, we did find one. The area where the turtles reside has clearer water and the temperature felt different as well (can't remember if it was warmer or cooler, just different).

After that, we were brought to a spot to see corals. Was kinda sad to see so many dead corals though. =(

After that bout of snorkelling, i felt sick again. Felt like vomitting, but i restrained myself.

(Maybe it was my breakfast, i cannot have eggs in the morning. It makes me sick. Or maybe it's the seasickness that i still have not gotten used to).

So by the time we were at our next stop, i couldn't go into the water. i had to rest. I had no intention whatsoever to puke into the sea and see those fishes eat my vomit. *yucks*

After about 10-15 mins of rest, i jumped into the water cos i couldnt resist myself. There were so many fishes swimming around and they were so pretty. =)

I was pretty woozy by the time i reached Cocohut. Decided to sleep it off after lunch.

So i went to lie on the beach, reading my novel till i doze off. While the girls hang out in the common area as it was about to drizzle.

The girls hanging out with Eric (Hendrik) while i was out sunbathing.

Thanks to the constant rain, our clothings were constantly damp.

Most memorable moment:
The four of us running in the rain to jump into the sea and we hung out in the rain doing some major singing! We serenaded everyone who was able to hear within 10 metres radius with songs from the 80s and 90s. We especially love songs like Eternal flame, Superwoman, Close to you, and even The Sound of Music.

I think we sang for over an hour.

It was quite embarrassing actually. We were totally ignorant to the fact that others could hear us as the beach was totally deserted due to the rain.

When it stopped raining, we were still singing and we forgot that others have started milling around the beach area again.

It wasn't till one of the guys working in Cocohut exclaimed, "Wah. Kamu ni pandai menyanyi. Sudah lama menyanyi. Tak sejuk ke?" ("Wow, you gals can really sing. It's been quite a while already. Aren't you gals cold?"), that we realised...

Damn shy man!


Tan or not?

Indra made this for me as I was still feeling very woozy. It's lime juice with asam boi. Yum!!

Our dinner.
Teochew style tofu soup. Butter garlic fried prawns - super fresh!

Sweet and sour fish fillet.

Foo yung style omelette with prawns.

It was raining again in the evening...We couldn't go anywhere =(. We decided to hang out around the common area to chill for the night.

Hendra (or Indra for short) entertaining us with his magic tricks.

Indra, his bro Eric, and Niah.

This guy on Indra's right is really a Mathematical genius. He formulated quite a few magic card tricks which we found impressive. Hehe..i'm gonna try these tricks on some ppl! Can't wait. =)

Just in case you're wondering, I was still feeling as if i've had a major hangover or something. Hate that feeling!


Day 4 - So long, farewell...
On top of our mee goreng, we were given extra french toast due to the fact that we're skipping lunch (gotta rush back to Kuala Besut).

Indra sending us off..

Byeee Indra, thanks for your help! You've been great. =)

Saying goodbye to Pulau Besar and Cocohut.
