Its been quite long since i waited for this trip...b4 KK trip, it has already been suggested by Fung and Soon but since the schedule was too packed and lacked of responses, the trip has been canceled previously. After almost 1 year, this trip has been realised by our 龙大哥again. If hadn't been him, i think we have already forgotten our x-INTI friends since long ago. We learn from mistakes everytime, so i think after so many events, 龙大哥 de skills have improved magnificiently. hahaha... We all should giv him a big CLAP!
On thursday night, 7 of us from SG gather at golden mile bus station to set off to our destination, PULAU PERHENTIAN. We bought the ticket at 10pm as we wanted to reach KL later so that we would not wait so long for our flight to KB but StarMart nvr fail to travel faster then we expected. About 2am++, we already reached Sungai Besi. As it was too early, Hwa led us to his house first. At his house, all the gals went to sleep but we watched the Johor movie 白蚂蚁. As a Johorian, i also do not know about this movie. It is a very funny, local Johor custom movie. Anyone who nvr watch it b4, i highly recommend it to you.
About 4.30am, Hwa's dad and bro, fetched us to KL Sentral where we can directly take a bus to LCCT. KL gang was already there. About 1 hr, we reached LCCT. Sofphia and her husband were already there. As we are already quite late, Loong, Me and Hao went to check in our luggage. Waited quite long which made us missed our breakfast. It took us 1hr to reach KB and thr directly was a guy to pick us up. To Hwa suprise, the guy who picked us up is some1 he knew. From the airport to the Jetty, also took about 1hr journey. At the Jetty, when waiting for our boat, we bought another 12 bottles of mineral water as each person only entitled 1 bottle of 1500ml water per day at perhentian. Mr Ong who is the in charge person of the trip was very friendly. I only knew that he is the boss of our chalet later. The journey to Perhentian Island took us about 45mins. So total up from SG to Perhentian, it took us around 8hrs.
From far as the boat glide nearer to the beach, the water is so blue and clear which made me so shiok! Well well, here we are at Pulau Perhentian @ Flora Resort. At the first glace, the condition is not as good as we previously stayed at Redang Resort. The beach is not as nice as Redang where the white sands at redang go all the way out to the sea. Flora Resort do not have much facilities. From what i saw, there is only a canteen which merge with the counter, a color tv, a public phone, a small souvenior shop, a burger stall and the rooms. As there were 13 of us, we were divided into 3 groups. Hwa, his wife, BaoYi and Chien in 1 room, Sophia, her husband, Pucca and Loong in the other room and the rest of the “MaLatLou" at another room. My room, there is a double bed and a double decker. The bathroom is very small and the condition is..ermm..better dun say it..the floor of the room, at some area already has a hole. they just use a mat to cover over it. what a shame of them...if this condition continues, their business sure will become worse.
Next, we had our lunch. The dishes were vege,chicken,fish and egg. U think is a superb meal?hmm..what i can say is they better change the cook!OK, as it is our first day, forget about the meal, we were all excited about the snorkerling event...yeah..always heard and read from blogs, perhentian's water is clearer and corals are more beautiful than redang. around 1pm, there we go for our first snorkerling event. Our guide for this first event is call Ah Long. He is a chinese but exactly like the malays there. He brought us to a shallow water area and taught us about the basic of snorkerling. After that, Mr Wendy took over Ah Long. Wendy is a HE. A very tanned young beach boy. Why he choses this name? Dont ask me. He brought us around to visit Nemo, then the turtle, the little shark and the papa mama shark. It is lucky when we were looking at the turtle as it came very near to us and i really saw it very clearly. For the shark wise, the color of it actually blends with the water, quite hard to saw it. It swims very fast, so just got to see it twice. Then, we were brought to the spring water. The water is very cold and very shiok to bath on it.
After all this, the time is only 3 sumthing if i'm correct. The time seems passed very slowly. When back to the chalet, we went to the beach to play volleyball and frisbee. Dinner time! The dishes were sotong, chicken, fish, vege, sotong and tomyum soup. Chicken was too salty, fish was too dry and vege has no taste. Sotong tasted normal. The best is the soup but only when it is hot. When it turns cold, alamak, it is really salty. Are they using salt water to cook?hahaha.. at night, there are no activities there. No disco, no karaoke. We gather at one of the room. What were we doing?i bet u guessed it..Cho Tai Di. around 11pm every1 turn to bed as it was a tiring day.
First day, conclusion. No good food, no pretty gals. Only have a "Mou Tik Tai Hoi Keng"!
