Tioman - Crystal Clear Waters (Part 4)

While waiting for the rest to reach Marine Park, I went to check out the crystal clear waters in the Marine Park...without being in the water, you could already see the fishes~! But then there were too many ppl snorkelling there that day. Jacqueline said this to the boatman as we approached the snorkelling spot.."Nanti tengok orang, bukan tengok ikan~" And we all agreed la, so we skipped this spot.

Can you see the fishes??

Too crowded la on that fine sunday..


So since it's lunch time, 4 of us decided on the good ol' RAMLEE burger~! WS and I went to buy it. There we met with this burger seller. He was very occupied that day. His wife was going around and there were customers flowing in on the hot and sunny day. He manages the whole place, from the burger stall, to the drinks stall, to the ice-cream stall and not to forget, the snorkel sets rental. Our burger took a really long time to be ready. We were there long enough to know that the price of the ice-creams he was selling. Ranging from RM1.50 to RM1.70. We were there helping him to tabulate if he needed help.

BURGER stall...


We got impatient after waiting for more than 15 minutes, we decided to get the burger ourselves. WS stood behind the stall and we DIY the burgers and wrapped it up ourselves. Haha...that was one real funny experience. Didn't capture that pic to show. Burger tasted really good btw..missing the burger although I recently found out that we were charged super expensive for it~! :p RM4.50 for a burger ayam special...I just bought one today for RM1.90. Doesn't taste as nice...



So right after when we were done transporting our liquor to our rooms, all of us changed and got ready for snorkelling session. The rest went for lunch at the restaurant.



It was a hot and sunny day. Sea was choppy and the ride on the speedboat was not that smoothsailing too, well, at least I din get seasick.Took me a while to familiarize myself back to the seawater. Always happens...considering that I don't know how to swim. :p Come to think of it, it was pretty daring for me to jump into the deep sea, tried it before in Redang long long time ago though... We went to 3 snorkelling spots. Too bad I can only remember the name of the last spot we went: Pulau Renggis. I hope someone from the trip can help me out in this. First spot has more dead corals. The second spot was nice, coz it's deep and there was Wasabi, one of the boat fella, who came down the water with the float. Haha, I got advantage from it...don't need to move myself much. It was awesome...by the time we're done, some of us are already exhausted. We proceed to Marine Park, as we see there's still a big crowd there, we took off to Pulau Renggis. Only snorkelled a while there...I was more afraid of the boats that were docked near by... Snorkelling can be quite energy-draining... after that spot, we all went to Bamboo Hill(think I heard them right.... if i'm wrong, please correct me~! ) to enjoy the fresh cooling water from the waterfall. All of us jumped in without hesitation, like small kids only...Raymond was squeaking like a girl coz it was too cold. :P We only spent like 15-20 minutes there, coz sea conditions getting bad, so we needed to get back to our jetty before sunsets. IT WAS THEN I SAW...the most amazing display of the evening sun(although with some clouds la..)...which then got my fingers all itchy to pick up my camera for some shots. My favourite pic with Shuk Yee in it:


Too bad my camera cannot capture the colours of it, but then, it was ..wow... haven't seen that before.Will always remember that...


We were then off back to our beach~ Got back to the room, took our bath and got ready for dinner. The rest was munching on kuacis and drinking beer while waiting for their turn to get their shower..Dinner was then served at 8pm.

Yuummmmyyyyy!!

Our dinner was a widespread of BBQ stuff...fishes - slices and also kembong, sotong, chicken, stingray, sausages, fried mee, fried rice, fries, coleslaw. We continue with some chatting after dinner with Fatt, YiMin, Wai Yee..enjoying some ice-cream as their desert. Wai Yee was quite entertaining la...and she's like the "tai ka che" among them. Can feel that "aura" ..hahhaa...

Night activities started at 1030pm. Think the plan was to drink and get drunk? Not sure, but then no one was drunk that night. :P We didn't really had a plan, so some decided to go on with some card games, while the rest continue chatting out at the corridor. This would be Raymond's unforgettable moment in Tioman. Not that appropriate to be shared here, but then it was one heck of a night. Not only did Raymond had the most unforgettable time, I think Fatt had never felt that "happy" too. :p We then later moved on to the beach, where we met the rest of them. Continue with some drinks. The moon was so bright that night that it shone away the stars. Beautiful night.. that night I sat by the beach and enjoyed the calmness of the night with only the sound of the waves. Emo a bit la, but then didn't want to leave the island so soon. Sat there till bout 3am I think. Then went back to the room ...

Day 3 begins...right after lunch.. :)
