Anyway, this trip was during my most chill rotation, when I was in store, and I applied for 2 days off to run away to a small island. Our original plan was Koh Lipe, but because everything was so last minute, we had to cancel it and went for plan b.
Oh well, we had lots of fun anyway :)
It was a 3 days 2 nights trip.
We started our journey at 4.30am (haha I know right damn early). Its because our ferry from the jetty to Pulau Sibu departs at 10am and we didn't want to miss that ferry, as the next one would be at 2 pm. Haha kiasu us.
And the other reason was cause we wanted to reach there earlier to have KFC. Yeah typical me and my kfc. Can't believe I was anticipating our KFC meal all the way. No.1 KFC fan here yo!! :P
So yeah our estimated time would be approximately 5 hours? All the way to Johor and deep in to the jetty. Yeah our longest car ride together :P
Finally reached the jetty at 9.15am.
*Tanjung Leman Jetty*
So we got bored, while waiting.. As usual the camwhoring began XD
*His sunglasses so yeng I just had to SS with it :P*
Waited and waited and finally our hotel manager arrived. Turns out we were the only one on the speedboat because the other gang couldnt make it on time for the 10am trip. Haha told you we both kiasu lo, drive so early in the morning.
Had the whole damn big speedboat for ourselves. The manager came with another helper, and from that time onwards, we did not need to worry about our bags anymore. The helper will be the one carrying all our luggage and following us. Damn good service lor!
*Finally, a beach vacation after a year!!!!*
*Blue ocean, blue sky :D*
*View from our hotel lobby*
When we arrived, we were ushered to the lobby area and given welcome drinks. Cold drinks. Seriously needed it badly cause it was damn hot!!!
Darling did all the check in stuffs and documents and we were given the key to our room.
*Our hotel: Sari Pacifia Luxury*
The room was really big!!! But was kind of worn out and old. But was still acceptable la overall. However, the service and the hotel people were soooooo polite and helpful and awesome that I rate them 5 stars!! Totally worth all my money!!
Even have a separate dressing area.
*Our fking huge bathroom. With a separate area/room with separate door for the toilet bowl, which I didnt take picture of haha*
*However, be warned, the jacuzzi is not functioning.* What a waste la.
After exploring the room, we finally sat down and had our drinks hehe.
Beach holiday official begins nowwwww ;D
Decided to check out the beach after that.
And also the waves at our beach was super strong, so yeah not too good for swimming because the current might just wash me away haha.
After walking around in the beach, we decided to head back to our room because we both were exhausted from the waking up super early in the morning and traveling all the way by car then speedboat.
Went back to the room and we both died on the bed. Like seriously DEEP SLEEP. And while we were sleeping, it started raining quite heavily, making the weather even better for sleeping in, so yeah I think we slept for close to 3 hours? Haha I mean holidays are meant to be relaxing and doing what we want right :P
Woke up and the sky was already clear, and the weather was just perfect. So we decided to have a stroll along the beach :)
*Instagram first, more important HAHAHA*
Stupid Hou captured this picture of me -.-
Holidays ahhhh... Wished I could just laze around in the beach chair, listening to the sound of the waves everyday. Will never get bored of doing this man!!!!!!
Super love my flower band, which doubles as hand accessories :P
*Le noob BF. Thankiew for bringing me on this getaway :)*
*Artistic picture HAHA*
We walked all the way till the end of the beach. climbed over some rocks to reach the other side of the island, which has more resorts.
After all the exploring, we headed back to our resort and chilled by the swimming pool.!! Awesome weather that evening :)
*The bf who dozed off because it was just so comfy haha*
Stomach growling after that. Went to the ONLY restaurant that belongs to our resort. We did not purchase the Fullboard package with meals, so we had to pay ala carte for our food.
Turns out, their food was damn good!! Like seriously, way above our expectations!!
*Nasi Goreng Special*
*Chicken chop with fries*
Price wise, was reasonable, considering that its a 4 star resort and of course the price for food will definitely be pricier, but as long as it taste good, I don't mind paying that price.
Had a super long dinner, eating and laughing and chilling and talking and social media-ing. I am the kind of person who likes to have long meals/yamcha. Just love to hang out and slowly enjoy my meals. I hate people who rush me through my meals one. I think our dinner was around 2 hours plus? LOL
After our tummies were happy, we headed back to the room and while Hou watched tv, I dozed off on the bed. That time it was 8pm. Told Hou to wake me in an hour, and when he did, I just couldn't pull myself out of bed, so decided to call it a night and sleep till the next morning.
Yeap, I blardly slept for like more than 12 hours? lol seriously think working life is making me old man. I seldom sleep so much when on holidays, but this time around, I slept MOST OF THE TIME.
Oh well, the main purpose of this trip is to relax before I enter clinicals right. So yeah since I love to sleep then just sleep lo :P
DAY 2
Woke up and got ready for breakfast. We purchased the room which includes breakfast because breakfast is Hou's favorite meal of the day, so theres no way he's buying a room without breakfast included lol. Like seriously, he gets so excited over breakfast I have no idea why -.-
*Beach outfit of the day*
*Headed down to the restaurant and we chose the table which has a clear view of the ocean and Pulau Tinggi at the background*
*Breakfast with a view :D*
*And as usual, me with Instagram, FB, Whatapps*
Non stop till the bf wanna confiscate my phone d LOL
Booo tooo bad :P
As usual, we sat there drinking coffee and tea for almost 2 hours.
Hou suddenly had an idea of renting a bicycle and so off he went and came back with one.
The jakun me, who did not ride a bike for at least 2 years got so excited and did not want to let go off the bike.
Hehe unleashing the child in me :D
The beach and sky that day was SO BLUE. So beautiful I swear
Such nice weather and so we found a perfect spot, under a shady tree, took out our drinks and snacks that we bought earlier and had our little picnic hehe.
The view we had, too awesome to be true.
Enjoying my super cold ice water while taking in the beautiful view in front of me.
Life man seriously!! THIS IS LIFE!!!!!!
After our mini picnic session, we decided to head back to the room because the sun was getting really hot.
Went back to the room, on the aircond and just chill around. Watched tv, chit chat, lay on the bed while waiting for our evening activity, which was my favorite, snorkeling!!!
Hehe was so so so excited for the evening activity. Paid rm60 per person for our private boat plus snorkeling at Pulau ............? Shit too long ago that I forgot the name of the pulau. Haha sorrrry!!
Finally when it was time, we got ready, changed and packed our snorkeling gears, sunblock, camera, water etc etc. Thank god for our ever so useful waterproof bag that we purchased earlier for Krabi. hehe
Went to the lobby and our 'assistant' was already waiting for us, helping us to carry all our snorkeling equipments and guiding us to the jetty where we will be taking our boat. Haha their service is damn damn good one. Everywhere we went, we dont have to carry our own things, theres always the hotel people who will rush to us and help us with our stuffs whenever they see us carrying anything LOL.
*Our jetty*
All I see is blue blue blue and blue everything!!!
Such perfect weather!!!!
Our boat haven't arrived yet so we took many many pictures while waiting haha. I know typical me right :P
The scenery was so pretty, how to not take pictures??!
Asked our assistant to help us to take photos too. Lol personal assistant ma, sure must make use la. Noneed to use tripod :P
Boat arrived and off we went! It was a 30 minutes boat ride to the island. I fking love speedboat rides, they are always my favorite part of any snorkeling trips.
Love the feel of the wind blowing into my face till it gets numb, the occasional splashes of water, the view of the huge ocean in front of me. Ahhhhhh LIFE!! I always secretly wished that the boat ride would last longer !!
Blue boat, blue sky, blue ocean, blue everything... AHHHHHH
Reached our 'mini' island, and it was just us and another boat with 3 tourists. So yeap, no crowd at all. That place felt like it belonged to us haha.
So prettttty awwwwwwwww
Whole beach to myself, SHIOK to the max hahahaha
Then we started snorkeling and by 15 minutes, we got bored. So little fishes !!! And its all the same type of fish. Oh well, I guessed we shudn't have put our hopes so high because this obviously isn't Redang or Perhentian.
Sigh
*Nah only this type of fish. So sien*
Hehe btw, we borrowed the underwater camera from You Yean. More like I borrowed it LOL. Just for fun. and YY was so kind to borrow it to me eventhough it was brand new :D I did the opening ceremony for his cam wahahahhaa.
Thankiew YY, you are always so kind and nice to me :P Next time borrow me your Xiao Yi camera so I can help you test it too k :P
So yeah, after 15 minutes we gave up on snorkeling, and obviously the next thing to do was SS. Since got underwater camera ma!! So fun lol lol.
BEWARE BIG FISH APPROACHING LOL LOL
*Underwater selfie hahaha*
The process of taking this selfie was so funny, I burst out laughing so many times and drank alot of sea water lol
Bf so noob, need to wear life jacket. Life jacket is for the weak wahahha. I am fearless, dont need life jacket lol. Kla i took it off because it was so damn annoying, couldn't swim to the bottom of the sea with that thing trying to make me float -.-
*And not to forget my signature jumpshots on beaches hehehe*
We were done snorkeling, taking pictures, swimming, lazing around in 2 hours, so we told our boatman and assistant that we wanna go back to the resort already. So nice to have our own private boat, that we can decide how long we wanna stay and when we wanna go back :D
Reached back the resort and I was so so hungry!! Bathed and headed down to the restaurant for dinner.
Awesome food again as usual.
We ordered lamb and chicken and both were damn goood! No food pictures because I was too tired already after the snorkeling.
All my battery drained out.
Hou would then say 'my energizer bunny ran out of battery again :( *sobbbb* ' HAHA
Whenever I run out of battery, he says its damn obvious one. Because I will just sit still, dont talk dont move, dont reply.
Cause in my usual fully charged state, I'm like a havoc. Making super alot of noise, talking nonsense, scolding him, zhat him nonstop, touch this touch that, move here move there lol.
Thats why he gave me the nickname 'ENERGIZER BUNNY' haha.
After dinner, we headed back to the room and I slept to recharge myself. Told the bf to wake me up after an hour, and at 11pm, he was complaining that he was hungry. So we went out to the restaurant to have supper -.-
Stupid bf, always making me fat T.T Ordered fries and wedges and asked for cold water. Sat there for quite a long time till the restaurant was almost closing. But the waiters told us to take our time, and even served us juice before leaving us. Hehe free juice leh, so thoughtful of them. Sumore told us to just leave everything there when we are done and they will gaotim it the next morning.
Then they left the restaurant and it was just the two of us. Happily eating our food, chit chatting, enjoying the sea breeze. It was a good night :)
After Hou was finally full, we headed back to the room, curled up in bed, watched some tv and fell asleep.
DAY 3
Woke up in the morning, got ready and headed out for breakfast. Our last day, and we were supposed to check out at 12 noon. Sobbb so sadddd T.T
It was buffet style. The food was not bad too but I forgot what I ate already. Haha this was the first round only :P
Lazed around in the beach after breakfast, before heading back to our room to pack up.
And then at 12 noon, we headed to the lobby to check out, Hou settled all the payment stuffs while I sat there and enjoyed the juice that they served us hehe.
End of the trip *sob*
Overall, I guess the resort was a little run down, poorly maintained, HOWEVER the excellent service provided by every single employee of the resort made everything worthwhile. Thumbs up to all of them!! Always greeting us with a big smile and always willing to help and making sure all our requests and needs were met.
Thank you! :)
This is the place to go if all you want to do is relax, chill and do nothing. Don't put too high hopes on the beach and snorkeling.
It was a great holiday for me because I that was what I wanted, to relax.
If you want to snorkel, haha go to Redang/Perhentian la. Don't come to this place. No fishes for you to see lol..
The journey back was another 5 hours. Thankiew dearie, for driving all the way, while I slept all the way. Was so damn drowsy because of my motion sickness pill. I was practically going in and out of consciousness lol.
And that concludes our trip. LOL super long overdue post that I almost forgot the minor details.
Next post will be on Cameron. I promise to be back real soon :P
Tata for now,
-mun-
Oh on a side note, I got my pharmacist license already!! OMG SO HAPPY *throws confetti*
Fully registered pharmacist yo!!
Haha made the good friend YK treat me to dinner just because I was done with my one year of training and got my license. hehe thank you la.
For now, I'm fully enjoying my life. Taking day offs almost every week. Haha I now work like 4 days a week only, because I always take one day off per week, sometimes two. =P
Time for me to clear all my OT hours and just enjoy life.
Oh and Melbourne, see you in 27 more days!!! SO EXCITED ITS COMING TRUE. Got my 2 weeks leave from my boss and she almost strangled me alive, but who cares, its all approved now and air tickets bought. Cant wait already.
