Perhentian ... Part 2

So let's continue with the Perhentian trip...a bit too long to get this trip story done...considering i still dun have any pics frm them about it. Anyway, let's continue with our snorkeling trips. The arrangements was made with the hotel itself. We get to go 3 spots for this afternoon trip..which I forgotten what names were they...I know one of it is Shark Point. :P The next 3 was scheduled the next morning. After a while that I did not go snorkeling, the fear of the deep sea engulfs me once again, but then..as usual, thinking that I can do wonders with a life jacket on...then came this voice: JUMP IN ONLY LA~! And so...I did just that. We were joined with a group of people from JB. Heard from their leader they are from a factory. There were 28-29 of them. So it was a convoy of 3 small boats. Snorkelling has always been fun...but this time around, fishes looked the same, big portion of the corals are dead... sighh..seriously, there's more things needed to be done to conserve these places. NY raised a point, what's the RM5 fee for, if this money is not put to use for efforts to conserve these underwater creature/beings? 

After the first spot, there was an unfortunate event. One guy had seizures...and he was  unconcious for sometime. Very scary...coz when they fished him up from the sea, he was all white...we can see it from the other boat.. The next day when I asked the leader, he said he's ok at that time coz he was sent to the nearest hospital already. Very creepy indeed. He shouldn't have went into the sea if he knew he had a medical condition...

We went on to the 2nd n 3rd spot. I was having trouble with my goggles...actually it's how I placed it. So didn't really get to 
enjoy it that much...Well, plus another part that I almost drowned coz I was under the boat...but that was just a short point of time.. We got to see turtles~ ... I missed it when I was in the sea...we saw it surfaced when we were on the boat :p If we knew earlier, we would've just stayed on board :p Very tiring wan leh...even for ppl who knows how to swim! 

We got back from sea about evening. Tea time was almost over. What we could grab was a piece of sandwich and we were all darn hungry then. Went back to our rooms and took bath. Went down to jalan-jalan and wait for makan time later. Went to the mini mart to grab some chips...things were so expensive! What to expect island price, kena chop chop... :P 

Dinner time was great! BBQ Seafood for dinner. Excellent la. Food was abundant...unlike one of my forumer friend's experience when he was there. We had dunno how many rounds of BBQ squid and lamb.. since i'm still without pics..I'll post up one pic I took la. 

After dinner, we went jalan-jalan to check out the island. Since our plans to Perhentian Kecil didn't really work out considering it cost a bomb to go over n come back! the ppl told us the water taxi was at least RM75 two way...PER PERSON! That's a bit too expensive la. We were walking n taking crazy pics at night creeping our ownself out... and then we bump into this nice like place. Had a glass of liquor each...I had Singapore Sling. NY had Pina Colada and ML had Mai Tai, Lorraine had a Tiger. Each cocktail was RM25 perglass. The people there are friendly. We got to know the lady boss who opened one of the budget stays. Diver's something..need to check it out. It's new and it cost like only RM100 per night. Looks nice too. So that was our first night...

Hmm..looks like part 3 needs to wait also.. :P
