Pangkor Island~

So finally my Pangkor vacation has come to an end! But I already miss the beach and the sea water (although it's really salty, maybe because too many people 'polluted' it liao with their 'natural resources' LOLZ) Let me recap my Pangkor trip for those who are interested in what Debbie did there..... (^o^)

Day 1:
Left home around 8.30pm, headed off to Sekinchan to pick up the last member of our tour gang, Wenny. The car we were riding in was a Toyota Avanza, and yea, it's not that bad except for the fact that the ride can get really bumpy at times, which makes you feel that you are riding on a horse instead of in a car. We reached the jetty around noon time, bought our tickets and the ferry. Around 30 minutes later, we reached a jetty. It seriously looked like a fisihing village, and I was asking everyone, 'Eh, this one Pangkor arr?? Cannot be marr, look like Pulau Ketam to me!' Then I even asked another passenger which jetty is this, and she replied this is jetty no.1. I was like, 'Oh, so there should be another few more stops to go. So let's just wait in the ferry lorr.' So we remain seated for like 10 minutes until every single passenger has left the ferry, then the ferry staff came and asked us "Eh, dah sampai lar. Tak mau turun ke?' literally meaning "We've reached our destination, you guys don't wanna get down?' Lolz, I tell you, we looked like dumbos then. We practically laugh at ourselves for being such dumb tourists. After that, we rented 2 cars and headed off the the hotel. Later in the evening, we headed off for a tour around the island. We drove around the whole island, making a few stops along the way to check out their tourist spots. Then, the day ended with us having dinner by the beach. We had a spectacular sunset view by the beach and it was indeed a great experience.

Day 2:
It is indeed tough for us to get a good rest while on a trip together. We had to make do with what we had, e.g 2 single beds for 5 people to share out. So yea, it was a give and take situation. had to tolerate with each other. But Day 2 is a fun filled day, coz we went for island hopping. Ah Beh (our island hopping guide) brought us around on his speedboat to the small islands around Pangkor, and we even went snorkelling. I enjoyed it a lot because it was my first time snorkelling (yea, I'm a little outdated) even thought the coral reefs and fishes weren't as beautiful as I had expected it to be. But swimming in the sea was indeed a fun experience. Later, we were dropped off at an island to spend our leisure time. I then started collecting seashells while the others just laze around and swam. The highlight of the day has to be the banana boat ride. We all had a splashing good time falling into the sea, although my head bump into someone elses, I thought I was gonna experience a brain damage at that time.... (>.<) After the banana boat ride, me, Levin and Sook Kuan went to play the 'Stingray'. Wah, this one was indeed a tiring one, as we had to hold on tight to the edges of a inflatable platform while the boat pulled the platform at a high speed to give us the adrenaline rush. Sadly, we did not manage to get any photos =(

So yea, I enjoyed Pangkor a lot, and will be back there someday. Photos will be uploaded once I get them developed (^o^)

just another day..... posted at 11:28 AM.
