Perhentian Island : Part 1

Just a heads up, this is my first time taking a long bus ride ever in my life. Dont laugh. 

Fiq : Shit its almost 8.30, wheres lena?
Me : You better call her or shes gonna miss the bus and cry. 
*Calls Lena*
Me : Wait, lemme check if she missed this bus, can she join us at the next station or not.
Bus conductor : Boleh dik, tapi kat TBS la kalau dia sempat sebab pergi selalunya bus on time. Kalau lambat mmg tinggal tapi boleh la tunggu lagi 5 minit. 

Waited while smoking outside the bus and there it was, Lena and Wan who went straight in the bus looking for us at our seats. As usual, we were the last to board the bus -____-
We were tired but excited so we tried staying up for as long as we can to chit chat and catch up but OBVIOUSLY we were the only noisy passenger in the bus and it was night ride so we decided not to annoy other passengers while they sleep and shut up. Then, the bus stopped at the next station, TBS.

Me : Girls, better be going to the toilet now since the toilet here is clean and I dont think this bus is stopping anywhere else after this.
*All of us except Wan went down and went to the toilet to clear our tanks before accident happens, ya know what I mean. I went for a quick smoke*

We got onto the bus and continued our journey. I stayed up for about 10 minutes and drift off to sleep. Much needed sleep please! My sister had warned me that the bus ride is going to be cold especially if its at night. I said okay and packed sweater and shawl into my bag, realizing it was NOT ENOUGH to keep me warm because the bus driver decided to blast off the air cond to the MAX -__________- I was sleeping nicely and peacefully for the first 4 hours and got woken up by chills from the stupid air cond. Tried my very best to keep changing positions to find that spot with least air cond but failed :( it was blasting from every single angle so I had no choice but to curled myself up on the chair. Apart from all that chaos I caused myself, the bus seat was comfortable and I was happy with my purchase. 4-5 hours later, we arrived at Kuala Besut jetty/bus station. Ah what a wonderful morning I said to myself *stretched* Its been awhile since I last seen sunrise so yeay! Until my back started aching and it was naaay -_- freshen up and decided to walk around until the shops were open since it was too early in the morning, no shops were open for us to eat. Wait, actually for ME to eat. Yes, sucks travelling with me cause I need food all the time. Found one shop and it was packed, everyone was just waiting for the shops to open and attack the food. Pretty nice breakfast, I love the sambal! Oh and the cashier aunty was so energetic, while eating I was wondering how can someone be so energetic at this hour?! I look like im dying at this hour of the day. We actually got kicked out after we finished eating because there were so many people attacking her restaurant, they had no choice but to make those who finished eating, leave, to make space for new customers. 

About half an hour later, we got on the boat to get to the hotel. We were staying at ShariLa Hotel. Since the boat dropped us off so early, so our room wasnt ready. We all decided to change and head to the beach.


'Hey, this is a good idea! Since im lacking of vitamin D and the best source of vitamin D is the sunlight from sunrise till 10.30am" said me who was trying to convince myself to go out and play under the hot sun which I wont be bothered to do back in the city. My sleep is my PRECIOUS okay! 

So while walking and checking out other resorts, restaurants and chilling place, we realized we've come to the end of the beach and decided to swim there because everywhere else were filled with boats. Oh! And also some perverts who dont know how to cover their pervert activities -___- .




That was us looking all calm and chill when inside we couldnt wait to release our jakunness hahaha. So we found this end of the beach with rocks, aha perfect! We all can put our clothes to dry on the rocks and our other stuff so none of us have to be that ONE person who takes care of other peoples' belongings while others have fun. Wan, being the most excited one cause she had never been to the beach before and swim with fish or at the side of the rocks hahaha. Girls being girls, so we were swimming and posing while walking into the water so we'll get that oh-such-a-candid-picture moments before realizing there was these two indian/pakistan guys swimming behind this big rock and he started telling his other friends in their language that there are hot girls taking out their clothes and in their bikini so hurry and try to go closer. THANK GOD I could understand their language. Oh and btw, his friends were all up there standing close to the railing to watch us. So there five of them staring from the restaurant pretending to talk to his two other friends in the sea over the other side of our rock and one bugger held up his phone pretending to be snapping his friend's picture but hello my friend, why is your camera heading our side while your friends are waaaaaay on the other side?! It was so bloody obvious and I got annoyed. Then suddenly, four guys from the restaurant decided to dip in with their two other friends who were in there earlier, like whaaaat?! Then that guy in white, that CAMERA GUY ergh was left alone at the restaurant to snap more pictures of them (us)! Seriously, not bragging here but he moved the camera towards us in such obvious manner and made us all uncomfortable. I was already so annoyed so I told the girls, we'll snap more pictures at our next activity okay? Lets eat, Im hungry. Had to come up with a reason the girls cant object so we'll move our butts out from the water. So we walked away from them as they were watching us with faces like; why are you girls leaving already? We want more pictures/boob/ass or anything else that is not covered as long as theres skin showing off, even flabs, really -____- FInally! Out from there and chilled at this restaurant to try this Sneakers and Mars chocolate bar milkshake. I was told Perhentian is famous for this so we decided to order those two and of course being in Terengganu, you cannot not eat keropok lekor! Oh just for extra info here, the food price there is not cheap. And please be prepared with enough cash cause there is no ATM machine, unless u take a taxi boat and they'll take you to fisherman's village where theres clinic, ATM and whatnot. Although the drinks&food were overpriced but the keropok lekor was so good! 





Yes, I disconnect myself with the outside world when theres food in front of me. Yes, I wont even realize a hot hunk passing by when I eat, cause food is much more interesting at the time, actually...at any time!

So this is just quarter of day one okay, then we decided to go to Long Beach. We just have to follow the track from our side of the beach to get to the other side, means mini jungle trekking which takes about 15minutes. We were all struggling to climb up the mini mountain, I mean its a small one but its SO STEEP. Dont worry, we survived! And wow my goodness, the water at Long Beach is much clearer BUT it was much hotter this side cause theres no boats and no restaurants with shades that we can walk under to protect us from the hot sun. Just so you know, its 12pm. The sun was so hot I couldnt take it and decided to just dip myself in the water. Duhhh, science logic; if land is hot then water is cold, if land is cold then water is hot. Ah genius me! So without further a due, I jumped in the water ahhhh so cool and so fresh! But my head was burning, I can fry eggs on my head. Then the rest decided to jump in too, we were surrounded by mat salleh and felt safe cause they usually mind their own business and not bothered about us unlike those indians/pakistans. Wan and Lena decided to rent snorkeling goggles cause Wan was just too excited to see fish and there was none, while me and fiq decided to chill and keep dipping ourselves in the water with shades on. And of course snap pictures! These two excited monkeys, Wan and Lena, went to the other end of the beach near the rocks and all cause apparently theres fish. And yes, there was fish so we were called to join them at the rocks. I went and swim with them while fiq decided to have a break and smoke while covering her head with everything she could find, she looked like some taliban guy, I swear. Wan got so excited, she made friends with this Barcelona chick who took her to see fish along the rocks. And just so you know, Wan do not know how to swim, lemme repeat that, Wan DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SWIM. We knew something was up cause it took them so long to come back and we saw them walking back towards us through the rocks and bam! We knew it, something happened cause Wan lost her snorkeling goggle. True enough, she got so excited and dived a lil deeper that her snorkeling breather got in the water and she panicked and she almost drowned. ALMOST DROWNED guys. Thats it, activities over and lets head back to the hotel to check out our room. The room was okay, its just a budget room and nothing fancy err I wouldnt recommend. Just enough to sleep and shower and chill. But it took us 10 minutes to walk from the lobby to the room -__- it was quite a walk. Settled in and showered, smoked up some G's and laughed our asses off and went to sleep. Woke up just in time for dinner but what a bummer cause it was raining the whole night, how to go out when it was such a walk from one shelter to the other? Ahhh dang it, we smoked up some G's and eat whatever we brought to keep us from dying while waiting for the rain to stop kinda 'survival' mode. Aha the rain stopped! Lets go! As we rushed out, the rain started again so we decided to just go out cause we need food :( So went to this place called Ombak, beautiful. It was also Lena's birthday dinner. I thought I was part of the team, little did I know I was on the same team as Lena. Both surprised and received birthday presents. Oh and btw, Mai Sabrina who couldnt join us on this trip was being such a sweetheart by sponsoring my whole trip as a birthday gift that got me feeling so blessed and lucky! But no, she didnt stop there.. She had to grab the im-the-best-friend-of-year medal by giving me, my long awaited BOOK; Whiskey, Words and a Shovel!!!! This is huge okay guys! Who would wanna spend so much on someone like that?! What did I do to deserve such a friend like her?! Of course, my sister is the mastermind behind this surprise. So I was a happy girl, went back to the hotel cause it was still raining (can you believe it?) and chill. We were laughing and comparing skins; who got tanned and who did not. Well, to everyone's surprise, IM THE MOST TANNED ONE OKAY! Never ever in the history of my 25 years of living. Off to sleep.
