heh. i was out of town the past two days... =)
well.. not anywhere fantastic, crossed over to our neighbouring country and settled on an island - pulau besar.
Day 1:
Credits to fabian whom had drove us to and back from Mersing.. big thank you. =) it was a 2 hours drive to Mersing then a 20 min boat ride to the island. the ride there was really BAD. we were stranded in the middle of the sea with a faulty engine that kept dying on us, super heavy rain that got all of us drenched and the instability of boat fighting the strong current. argh. i thought that will be the end of me.. HAHA. but luckily we made it back to the starting point and changed to another boat. phew~ too bad, the first day's afternoon was gone due to the rain..
Day2:
We rented a boat and went out to sea for fishing. My first fishing trip. heh. but guess wads? i had motion sickness! =( another bad experience... and i was quite pai seh lahs. its like.. a burden? a wet blanket? hoho~ its so awful that i wish anyone cld hav done me a favour by knocking me out.muaha. so i returned to the island and cldnt follow on their second trip.. ALONE in the room. boo!
it was bbq at night den we head off to the jetty for more fishing. somebody caught a small tiger shark!!!!it was like.. woahhhhh~ O.O
learning how to fish was so different from my prawning experience. tsktsk. cldnt even manage to cast my fishing line properly. feel like a total idiot cos everyone was so pro.. and yours truly cant even cast the fishing line???? hais. i always thought that its easy.. "jus throw the line and wait lors" hurhur. AND i specially bought a fishing rod from Mersing... but no fish comes to me at all. its gg to b a leisure to cultivate my patience.
an island that live on generator.. so no heater for bathing! food was okays.. except the houseflies.activities was limited to canoeing, snorkelling and fishing. yeah.. and there's no tv too. erms.. there is one at the common area though.
hmm.. pulau besar aint a bad place lar. mayb too much of city life so cldnt adapt well. massive toning down of pace.. a tinge of serenity and peacefulness.. surrounded by nature that wont makes you bother of what's happening in the outside world. fishes under the super clear sea, sandy wide beaches.. none of this you can find in singapore. =) its just relaxing to just sit outside the corridor of my room, look at the sea, enjoy the sea breeze, and while away the afternoon.a great place for retreat...photos as evidence.
sandy white beach...
the views from outside my room...
the jetty...
look carefully! millions of fishes!!

taking a deep breath, embracing the sea~
