milo anyone?? :)

after the windy and slopey bus ride we arrived at the jetty!
at the ferry terminal, a little girl came to play with us. She is the daughter of the shopowner of the sourvenior shop there. We entertained her with drawings and played ball with her. In a sense, she helped us pass time too as we waited for our ferry to depart.

Isabel, yizhen and weiling each bought a pretty sarong there! (shall show you guys later)


that's us! a picture taken by the lil' girl.

Soon, our ferry arrived and we boarded it.

happyus ><

can you spot our shadows in the sea? cool huh!

this is our standard room. hahaha i know its quite messy but its quite nice actually..comes airconditioned and equipped with hot water. though i didnt know that and on the first day, i showered in cold water after coming out from the cold sea and as a result caught a cold =((

sniff.

sniff.


on our way to ulu restaurant for dinner.

ohhh there are lots of cats at tioman! and whereever you eat, they will be there, begging for food and most of the time people give in and give them food...=D they are all really well fed and fat.



our dinner at night. it was at this ulu restaurant. the food was not bad though! we paid S$5 each for five dishes and rice. quite worth it and nice!


haha we got locked out of our room as we forgot to bring our keys out with us when we went out for activities! =X


playing cards at night! had fun playing bridge, tidi, indian poker, bluff etc. hahaha.

day2 we had snokelling. joined the package where we get to go to five diff locations on a speedboat for RM70.

quite affordable.



tioman is a really beautiful place!

we also rented a waterproof camera to take pictures underwater. snokelling was great! it was a totally diff experience. a speedboat brought us to diff islands and i particularly love this beach with powdery white sand and azure blue sea! can even see colourful fishes inside. damn nice! i picked some shells there =DD

when i first entered the waters and looked inside the sea i kinda screamed cos there were lots of fishes swimming around me. quite scary at first. heh..but it was beautiful..all the corals, fishes and sea urchin. hahaha.


scenic view. i took this picture! that's us!
