The Blessed Gabby: Perhentian Island (2/5/11-4/5/11)

I ended my 1st year of university life by visiting a beautiful place, Perhentian Island. Many thanks to Caleb Mok Chia Lit for planning this trip, and thanks to our camera man Goh Teik Aun. Although he didn't took many of our pictures, having him and his DSLR along was really great ><

2/5/11 - 0730, we departed from USMKK heading to Kuala Besut jetty. It took only 1 hour for us to reach there.

This is Perhentian Island.

Although the beach was not that beautiful, it was a peaceful and quiet place ^^

It was a very cheap trip, RM390 including ride to and fro the jetty from USMKK, 10 snorkeling spots, chalet, and food. Furthermore, the chalet was comfortable and the food was quite nice too ^^. This was our chalet.

This was our guide, Dee Kebar, but we called him Di Kebun hahaha

Our first snorkeling spot - basic snorkeling lesson. Well, at the end, everyone knew how to swim, but not Teik Aun hahaha... Other than all the colorful fishes and corals, we saw turtle and sharks too!

When the sun set, according to Caleb's prefrontal cortex, we were supposed to take many pictures of the beautiful night scenery of the island. Unfortunately, there were not much for us to capture...

And so, we just sat there, chit-chat for the whole night, gossiping about others hahaha.... Although we were tired after all the snorkeling, we still can't sleep yet, because there were someone waiting for us ^^.

Yup! They were 2 baby sharks and a baby turtle hahaha... We manage to find a nest of Nemo and had it in our hands XD

3/5/11 early morning, we took an hour boat ride to reach Redang Island! I always wanted to go there, and I really didn't aspect the package to include Redang Island >< Redang is much more beautiful compared to Perhentian. So, our modelling sessions begun!

Saw the shooting place of 夏日摸摸查 too ^^

After lunch...

After Redang, it was Lang Tengah next!!!

Then we went to Marine Park. We saw many other types of fishes and corals over there. The most exciting part was we got the chance to see the giant eel! The eel was very big and long! I was so afraid that it would swim up and bite my legs >< We fed the fishes with bread in the water, and poor Teik Aun fed the fishes with bread at the jetty hahaha...

This was something out of our plan. We visited the fisherman's ship too ><

Due to the outnumber of future nutritionists and dietetions in our group, we kept on mentioned about vitamin C, oranges and scurvy LOL...

There was a place, where they have water from the mountains. The water was sooooo cooling and the locals often go there for their bath and use the water for washing, drinking and cooking. According to Di Kebun (dunno whether is true or not), the spring water has healing power and power to help someone find their true love hahaha.... The hotter the weather, the cooler the water ^^

We even had a chance to 'drive' the speed boat hahahaha

According to Caleb's prefrontal cortex again, after our BBQ dinner, we were supposed to sleep early that night in order to wake up early to see sunrise. Unfortunately, Perhentian is not the right spot to see sunrise. So, we changed our plan again hahaha... Poor confused prefrontal cortex XD We played cards that night!
