One Fathom Bank(Part 2)

So as we finish off our dinner, it was already late. We continue on with some chit-chat and get-to-know sessions. It's great to listen to people like Hantu telling stories. It's like those "grandfather" stories type that'll get u hooked listening to it. :p I think it was 12 plus when we all retired to sleep. Check out the hostel room we got:





This is one of the available 3 rooms that they gave to us. So all of us crammed in it. With most of us sleeping on the floor, not knowing whether the ants will attack us or not. :P Too tired to bother about who snored or who did not. Alex said I did, so don't care la. :P Anyway, it was a peaceful sleep till one of the alarms rang with those funny funny tone. pstan let us listen to a special ringtone which got us all laughing. need to get that from him. Anyway, I didn't bathe for that first day we were there, made me feel all uncomfortable and my thought was, wake up early the next day to get a quick shower. The toilet is a little "risky" to use.



As you can see, it's only covered with blinds that were damaged at some corners. People from the outside can peep in. So I had a REALLY quick bath. The night before they had a water ration. KK said they are supplied with fresh water only 15 days once. SO they have their rationing daily. We were all up early for sunrise...too bad, another cloudy morning. Nothing much captured. This is one of the shots I have to show:



Another things to mention is, there's no reception on mobile phones there...well, not totally no la, just that at certain points you can get one bar, only on celcom network.That is why you get to see this in the lobby area:



People trying really hard to get connected to the outside world :D

Anyway, after that I tried a bit of the fishing feel when Kimmy passed me the fishing rod. All I had to do was to reel it up. And there was something that was biting on the bait, it was a coral fish, which i don't know the name. Kimmy asked if I felt anything when i reeled it up, I said none. :P When he caught a small herring, he told me to hold the rod again and feel the fish struggle. HAHA...yes, only then I felt the fishing feel :)

And right after the morning photo shoot, time to make breakfast. Fried rice from yesterday's rice. Excellent with extra soya sauce and saltiness~! :P We had really thick coffee too which people like Kobee got too stoned over. Peki, Kobee and me did the mixing, first batch was super thick. The next was lesser in the thickness. Coffee was made of : one bottle of nescafe gold roast and more than 20 packs of 3-in-1 nescafe. No wonder ppl OD from it~! :P

So after that, all of us packed up and made our way back. On the way back..we saw this:



This is according to what KK and Captain Samat said: "SAMPAH!" All of us damn blur there, thought it was some rare fish with that nickname. Turns out..it was literally what they meant it to be. :P According to Captain, this is what will attract fishes. So with the excitement, all the fishers in the boat went into action and caught about 8 Triple Tails. I don't have pics. Will need to include the klang forum link at the end of my posting. Go back on shore safely about 1 plus 2. Got home, took a good shower and had a good rest. Planned for the makan for that triple tail we caught that night itself. Was a delicious outing~! So that's it for this adventure this time. Enjoyed it a lot..Thanks to all MyKlang forumers~! This was unforgettable! Please check link below for more pics and posting on this trip.
