(At tioman Island)
(tt's how i got my sunburnt !!!! )The last weekends were a wonderful experience for me - here is how the trip goes ....
On friday , 3rd Aug, the four of us - Marg, Meixian, Dear & me gathered at Kranji Mrt station to wait for Alex - our coach. We saw our team mate- Alminz who is here to thediving course in order to be qualified to be a commercial diver ! Heard the pay not bad ~~~ but it comes with risk too . Alex came with a friend named Staurt in a SUV car, it fitted the 7 of us all the way into Malaysia. It took another 2.5 hr ride to reach Mersing from Johor. We reached Tim Motel at Mersing at ard 12 midnight and checked in. After which, we had roti prata for supper. *** Sinful meal ***
Sat mrng, we woke up ard 7.30am and had our breakfast at the reception. A mini van picked us and all our diving equipments to the Mersing jetty to board the diving sch personal diveboat. Another team from SP diving club joined us on the boat too. 3 hrs straight to our first dive site. All tgt i did 3 dives tt day .. at different islands near Tioman. Such names are Chebe island, coral island and marine park. Tell u sth - it's realli shiok to dive in the open waters ......cos i can swim with the fishes and also to view the beautiful and amazing underwater life -- THUMBS UP ! Once in the water, the fear of all danger and all tots disappeared, i put all my focus on exploring and to look out for my buddy who is my bf la. Had lunch after the 2nd dive at Tioman island - lunch wasnt tt good cos the dishes were juz maggie mee in soup, fried goreng and fries. Din eat much cos i was afraid that i would puke on boat. Cont the 3rd dive till 7 plus in the evening before checking in the resort chalet at Tioman island. Ang mohs were everywhere .... most tourists there went there for diving/ snorkeling. Dive shops and souvenirs stalls lined the streets , not to mention SEAFOOD restaurants ! Had our dinner at a chinese restaurant .... One nice dish named INDO Prawn tasted SUPERB -- the curry gravy was shiok !
Sunday mrng was bright and sunny, had nasi lemak on boat for breakfast ... M'sia lasi realli tasted better !!! Went snorkeling and 2 dives after breakfast. This time round the visibility was better in both dive sites .. and also i got to see MORAY EEL and most types of corals... Also gotta touch starfish and sea cucumber ! Saw alot of beauriful marine fishes ... such as angel fishes, hunchhead , grouper etc. Went back to the resort chalet to bathe before setting out for Mersing . It took us exactly 3 hrs to reach Mersing,no wonder i was sun-burnt !!! Turned "red" all of a sudden cos i was sunbathing for almost 2 hrs , enjoying the sea breeze ... the feeling was so great ! Slowly falling in love with the sea ....
Back in Mersing ard 5.30pm, drove all the way back to johor for dinner ! Had dinner at a chinese seafood restaurant which served also Wing Satay, the famous delicacy there ... we also ordered herbal chicken, indo prawn, butter prawn, deer meat hor fun, ommettete mee etc. Had a v nice dinner there ....
Overall... it's gng to be a memorable diving trip for me cos it was my Virgin diving trip !!! Haha ... looking forward for more diving trips to come ... =P
