Kimmy : B tell me again how to get to perhentian?
Me : If you are coming here by flight, land in Kota Bharu cause its closer to take bus to the jetty from there.
Due to bad line coverage in our hotel room, messages didnt get through unless when you are lucky -_-
*Phone ringing at 6am.
Kimmy: B I dah otw ni, can you tell me what is the name of your hotel. Im reaching the jetty very soon and how do i get a boat to get there?
Me: What? Ohh.. *gave her the details and realizing 10 seconds later that she is here! Wait, WHAT? You are here?! You really came all the way here from JB?! And.. the line cuts off.
As excited as I was about this news, I still wont believe it until I see her face for real. My heart was pumping for her call to confirm with me, I kid you not. And being the typical me, I woke everyone up accidentally with that loud phone call. We all got ready and decided to head down for breakfast while waiting for Kimmy's arrival. As we were walking to the restaurant, I received another phone call from her saying that she'll arrive at 10am just in time for our snorkeling trip. YEAY! So here is our morning face HAHAHA
Since Wan is super excited to play with water, we decided to wrap up our breakfast session and head down to the beach so we can see Kimmy too. Soon after, THERE SHE WAS! KIMMY!! With her backpack HAHAHA walking towards us. We were so excited, I was super duper excited and surprised cause she came to celebrate my birthday getaway. We rushed to put her things in the store room and head to the boat for our snorkeling trip. It was A-MA-ZING! We went to 5 islands. I wish I can remember the names but I only remember 3 islands; turtle island(cause I saw two turtle hehe), fisherman's village(cause we ate lunch there and I went to the clinic to get my ears checked) and romantic island(cause it was the clearest of all island in Perhentian Kecil).
So yeah thats the summary of all those places. I wish I could snap pictures through my eyes though. Watching the turtle peacefully eating was so adorable. I wish I can capture that but they were miles away down at the bottom of the sea. Soon as the snorkeling trip was over, we decided to take Kimmy to long beach. She was so happy and as usual, me being the most happy one, I was under the sun the whole time and believe my I am still tanned on the exposed areas. Unbelievable right? Its been two months, my skin should restored by now haih. The rest was super exhausted, hence, we decided to chill and eat by the side. We all had our fair share of big calamari. I think we should have eaten more seafood cause its really worth it. Then Kimmy got excited with banana boat. She treated us to some nice banana boat ride. That was the last activity of the day, I mean of course we soaked ourselves in that beautiful cold water till the sun was down. I dont remember being out of the water for long unless we decided to go back to the hotel or eat. Other than that, I was out there thinking I was some European that would never turn dark with that kind of exposure to the sun -_- Right after banana boat, was dinner! Yes, everyone's favorite time of the day. Aha then it started raining, so we all walked back to the room ad change. Initial plan was to go out and explore the beach at night, but it was pouring even more outside and it was not safe for us to walk that STEEP road across to long beach. SO we changed into our pyjamas and stayed in. Got high chilling, packing and getting ready to leave the next day. To our surprise, we all slept in early. HAHA what a vacation.
Rise and shine the next morning, all ready and set to go home. We had to part ways with Lena and Wan cause they are heading to Kelantan. We had quick breakfast so that we wont miss our bus. We took off before Lena and Wan. Okay this is the suckiest part of the trip; the journey back home. It was ridiculous. There was traffic all the way until the pit stop. Well, in total our journey was 10 hours or more. We left the jetty at 12pm and reached BTS at 1am. I was sleeping the whole way because I didnt wanna focus on my back pain. Kimmy was very active though, she was wazing all the way and booking hotel for herself in kl before she took off to JB the next day. We were dead after the bus ride and super happy we reached KL. Lesson learnt; no more going back with bus for the next perhentian trip, I'd rather spend a bit more but less back pain. I dropped Kimmy off to her hotel in Sepang died on bed the moment I reached home.
So I guess I dont remember all the little details cause this post is short hahaha. So there, my complete journey to Perhentian with my girls. Obviously, one was missing and that is Mai but I hope we'll plan more trips together next time.
I felt special when she decided to join and surprise me all the way from South, I love you Kimmy Jamal.
