Malaysia - Tioman (Day 1)
Tuesday, July 20, 2010 @ 1:51 PM
::Malaysia - Tioman Trip; 17th July to 19th July::
Day 1 (17/7):
Zealous! This is yet, another one of those overseas trip with my female secondary school friends :)! Although the start of planning for this trip was one month before, however due to overwhelming results of people going to Tioman, most of the resorts we wanted were fully booked. We were so scared that we weren't able to book any resorts at all! Well, if you get the drift of our situation... No place to stay = no go :(
Anyway, we managed to book our accommodation at Tropical Coral Inn Resort; just one week before we set off to Tioman! Talk about last minute! As for me, I was rather anxious as I need to confirm my unpaid leave for the new job at Subordinate Courts. Lol'd, just started working there no longer than two weeks and already taking leave! Amazing? xP As usual, I enjoyed packing my baggage one day before the trip :P
Speed up to the departure day~
I pretty much woke up at 4am with all the calls and alarms going off... so sleepy~ We have to reach Newton Circus Hawker Centre at 6am. So the only available transport then was taxi... Since the four of us - Lisa, Shalee, Puikwan and me, live quite near to each other, we decided to share a cab down to the Newton Circus Hawker Centre. Shalee would be the first to board the cab, followed by Lisa, Puikwan and lastly me.
All packed and ready to go~
We were so afraid that we're not able to get a cab! It was too early and it was raining too heavily - like elephants and whales! But... we were of most fortunate to get a cab and we reached the destination at 5.10am - very early indeed!
With rain like this...
Such an awful start? (@.@)
@Newton Circus Hawker Centre!
We stoned around a particular table and waited for the remaining girls - Audrey and Daphne to reach. We were getting a little anxious at 5.30am when we heard nothing from them. So we gave them a call to find out they were at Toa Payoh, looking for a cab! And by 6am, they were still at Toa Payoh, looking for a cab! It was still raining heavily and this hour is when all the taxi drivers got off their night shifts! Such bad timing... no wonder they were unable to get one.
With that, our anxiety levels erupted full blow! It was told to us that the bus would leave at 6.15am. But at the look of it... for them to reach Newton Circus is absolutely impossible! The only thing we could do now while waiting for Daphne and Audrey, is to look for the bus! But... we have no idea where is the location of the bus and what's the bus plate number. Tried calling the travel agency but there was no answer. Overheard that there's a flood now at Newton... With rain pouring like this, of course there would be a flood! :(
Finally! We managed to get our call through the agency and have received the bus plate number! Next task is to search for the bus in the car park under this terrible rainy weather (O.Q) So gloomy. But there was not a choice! Onwards to the car park we went, with our umbrellas wide open.
Luckily, it wasn't that hard to find :) Those mini buses/vans were parked near the hawker centre! And for this particular Tioman trip, there were two of those mini buses/vans that will be bringing us to our next destination through the checkpoint.
Shalee and Lisa checking out the mini bus/van...
Yep, it's the right one! :D

It's really nice to be dry and out of the rain; and to be seated on nice comfy seats... but this doesn't last for long! We broke the news to the driver that our friends were late and won't be getting here sooner. The drivers of the two mini buses/vans discussed among themselves in malay and decided that one of the buses/vans should move off first, instead of both waiting for the latecomers.
And so, the four of us have to alight from the bus/van and move over to the smaller one; while all the people in the smaller one have to swap over to the other one. With this was done, the bus/van filled with people set off first into the dawn, leaving the four of us - all alone; waiting for all the latecomers.
Here, we are in another bus/van... still waiting~
As for Audrey and Daphne's side of the story, they gave up waiting for the never-coming cab at Toa Payoh. Audrey called her papa to drive them all the way to Newton Hawker instead. Alas, they got blocked off by the flood while approaching Newton; so they alighted and took the train from Novena station to Newton. And sadly, they had no choice but to walk through the flood and make their way to the hawker centre. They mentioned that the flood was up to their thighs! Pretty unbelievable! (O.O) At last, they managed to reach at approximately 7am - although they had a hard time trying to find the mini bus/van.
However, we were unable to go off yet... we have to wait for another late person but she reached shortly after Audrey and Daphne. This late Korean female person stank of cigarette smoke; and I was sitting directly behind her! Oh the humanity :( At long last, we were able to move on!!! After one hour of delay! Can't you believe it? With Audrey guiding the driver away from the flooded areas, we managed to get through safely without any jams (^-^)b
All here - with Audrey and Daphne drenched!!
Ready to set off!
Anyhow, the driver had to fetch a couple somewhere at Woodlands as they were unable and unwillingly to get to Newton, due to the terrible flood. More pictures while waiting for the couple to board! & it's daylight!!! :D
Whee~ ♥

Double checked: Important stuffs all here :)

& we arrived at Woodlands Checkpoint at 8.20am. Queue queued, passport stamped. Queue queued, toilets went! There were lots of people at the checkpoint... even the toilets' queues were really long! D:
Girls really love taking pictures using the toilet mirrors :P

Even at the bus waiting area, it was crowded with people!!! We stood there waiting ever-so-patiently for our mini bus/van; and soon the Korean female and the couple joined as us well. We got tired of waiting and went looking for the bus/van JHE 585I. It was hiding in the corner! Found and boarded :)
人山人海!!
Looks squashed! xD
Mersing Johor Jetty!
Likes "do"s and "don't"s signs :D

Wheels of the bus goes round & round~
Into Malaysia, it goes~
Toy Story 3 movie billboard!
And IT'S STILL RAINING!!!! Dx
Comfort bus ride food :)
Although for Lisa's chocolate biscuits have all melted and stuck together like a gooey mess...
Still tasted good though :P
BORED people!

After alighting from the bus, we quickly made our way to collect our ferry boarding passes/tickets and also, with last minute promotion of the Marine Park tickets - we bought them as well at RM5 each.
We pretty much have to board the ferry immediately after that. Due to the fact, we were actually departed an hour late... So yea, with no waiting time at all, we queued up to enter the gate - which we handed over our boarding passes; and onto the ferry we boarded.
That's our ferry~ :3
That's our ferry~ :3
Once we got on board, we immediately set off to look for six seats that are together. It's of free seating, you see. We managed to find six seats together; although they are not in a row but in cluster... it's okay! As long as we are together :P The bad thing was... we were seated directly under the blow of the aircon. It was freezing cold!!!~ But I have to force myself to sleep, due to my strong tendency to motion sickness. I can tell you it was a pretty uncomfortable, restless task (O.Q)
Taken before ferry moves off!! :P
Hard to see out of this foggy, water droplets covered window pane!
Last sight of Mersing Jetty, when the ferry starts to move off~

This was a very torturing two hours ferry ride for me. The aircon was too cold; I have to keep forcing myself to sleep and just to be woken up by the coldness again D: That's a limit one body can take all these nonsense! :\ I felt more tired after this journey than I should be.
Ferry'd
At last, we reached LAND!! :D Kampong Genting, to be precise @1.25pm. After using up half a day's worth of time for travelling, we finally reached our main destination... Tioman Island!!!♥
The moment I got out of the ferry, the first thing that hit me was the strong gust of wind! It was really windy and the next thing I noticed was the sea water! (O.o) It was very clear and really blue! It was unlike the waters at Krabi; this is more awesome!! :D I can't wait for the snorkeling that we will be doing the next day; but I can't say the same for the boats that we will be riding as well (O.Q)
Reaching very soon! Island ahead! :D
Look at the sea water! So blue and clear!♥
Walking down the pier towards the island~
Snapping pictures at the same time :P
Very windy!~♥
& into Kampong Genting, we went :D

Looks very village-ish :P

& into Kampong Genting, we went :D
First thing we've got to do was to find our resort: Tropical Coral Inn Resort! Lucky for us; there's a map of all the resorts located on Kampong Genting :D We located our resort on the map and off we went, in search for it :)
Looooks pretty far to me; on the left side of Kampong Genting.
The village part kinda reminds me of Pulau Ubin somehow;
but with more buildings :P
Apparently those with cameras including me,
seems to be snapping pictures of everything we see xD!
The baby pineapple and kitten were one of the few items that we took lots of pictures of!
Still walking! It's really far D:
Much lesser buildings at this part of Kampong Genting though.
And we can see the beach and the sea!~
Yay! We have reached the resort! (^o^)b

Orange juice were prepared for us at the main foyer of the resort... the only thing is... I don't like orange juice... Anyway, we were surprised to find that all the people who came along in the two mini vans/buses, were also there! Apparently they are going to be staying at the same resort too. Out of all the resorts in Kampong Genting, we all ended up at this particular resort, Tropical Coral Inn. Such coincidence! (O.O)
Most of the people gathered around the uncle (probably the owner of the resort/tour guide) were discussing about the next day's activities - snorkeling. There's one additional activity brought up during the discussion, which is the waterfall visit. Well, we let the majority of our group decide for us. & yeah, we are including the waterfall visit into our itinerary tomorrow :) With extra activity, comes with extra charges; and so that was settled as well.
Views of Tropical Coral Inn.
Peaceful~♪
Jugs of orange juice~
Hear, hear the briefings for Day2's activities!
Take note of "Lion" Yun Ling Audrey! xD
Voucher/receipt for our 3D2N free & easy package.
We received our room keys as well :) & it was decided that:
2B - Daphne / Audrey
3A - Lisa / Shalee
3B - Puikwan / me

With that, we were dismissed and finally, got to go to our rooms!! :D
And we found out that 3A and 3B were of the same hut :)
Moreover, our huts be it 2B, 3A or 3B were FACING THE SEA/BEACH!!

One, two, three... Puikwan and I opened our door for 3B. I was pretty much stunned by it. Not very luxurious :X When I explored the room, I was furthermore shocked to find out there's no kettle provided to boil hot water (so much for instant cup noodles :X), no fridge, no safe to lock our valuables... Ahhh~ It's like nothing!!! xD
Since it was a last minute booking... there's no choice but make the best out of this trip! Anyway, we will be only be in the room at night for sleep. Most of the time would be spend outside of the resort :D
A double bed that Puikwan and I decided to share at night...
A single bed that is facing the toilet... GROSS! =_= Well, using it to dump our baggage on!
A dressing table beside the double bed...
And the best thing ever, a door that links to 3A!! :D
Hurray for AIRCON!...
EH?! FML! :\
The remote seems to be out of batteries + SPOILT!
Luckily, we were linked with room 3A that has working air-condition.
Thus the linking door had to be open at all times so that we can "share" aircon :P

With that, it's time to leave to the room and look for food!! Lunch!! :D Most of us were famished as we haven't had a proper meal at all for the entire morning (O.Q)
Pictures outside our resort rooms first, before we go! :D
Day 1 begins now! :D
Long way, huh?

And then we went looking for a place to have our lunch. Most of the eating places seems to be closed in the morning. We managed to find one that seems to be closed at first sight but it's not :P The Golden Dish Cafe - Seafood Restaurant.
Before entering the restaurant, we had to take off our footwear. Really special! It felt like the boss of the shop wants us to make ourselves at home :) The boss, who is an old man, seems like the only person in the restaurant... he's the one who took our orders, did the cooking and served us the food. Amazing! And of course, this took a much longer time for us to have our lunch... D: Like the saying goes, you can't always have everything in life xD
@ Golden Dish Cafe :)
Trying on Daphne's sunglasses, while waiting for the food to arrive on our table.
Cool, eh? But I think I looked pretty weird wearing it xD
Drinks were served first!
Cheers to Tiger Beer :D
Nah... it's just chrysanthemum tea, silly :P
And yes! THE FOOD IS HERE! :D
Awesome lunch at an awesome price of RM60! d(^o^)b
After our delicious lunch, we continued our walk down and were at the jetty area again :) Looked through all the local craft souvenirs shops; thinking of what to buy back for friends stuck in Singapore (@.@) Well, not yet time to purchase them :P There's still Day 2 and Day 3!~
With that, we decided to head down and explore the right (which is the right~) side of Kampong Genting!~ Looks like nothing but a long stretch of beach! xD
Walk on!
We then spent our Day 1 at the beach of Kampong Genting; since we had nothing better to do as there were no computers + internets here on the island (at least for me, it does matters :P). We took off our slippers and walked barefooted on the sand and shallow areas of seawater :) It was so relaxing and cooling. It's like we were relieved off all over burdens for that period of time. Carefree~♪
*ahem* Here comes the flood of pictures! v(^o^)V
Not a bad weather, eh?
Cloudy, but not rainy, with a tad bit of sun :P
Slippers off!~
Welcome to Kampong Genting!!! :D
Funky individual shots :P
Yay!~
I really like these white coral fragments :)
Pretty♥
And looking back, we have walked a long way from the jetty now :P
Tripod and timer :P
& I raised the wrong arm! Looks very extra (O.Q)
Individual shots with my lovelies ♥
The unity of feet! xD
16^C girls @ Tioman! :D
Awesome!~♪
I have no idea why... but there's always jump shots!
Jumped numerous times before...
A perfect one is achieved!!

And so,
We continued our stroll along the beach until we spotted this wooden-jetty-looking-bridge! We went ahead, walked on it and then sat down with our legs dangling at the side of the bridge :) Lisa backed out the moment she reached to the top of the bridge. So she volunteered to help us in the photo-taking instead :)

Long way, huh?
Daphne and Shalee got off the bridge afterwards, leaving Audrey, Puikwan and me still on it. We decided to bring out for courage and continued walking towards the middle of the not-very-safe bridge. Some of the wooden planks were broken and parts of the bridge were rather shaky... And you know what, we didn't want to proceed further, afraid that something unfortunate might happen!
Through the gaps of time and spaces...
we see each other! xD
Risky task, this one is!
Set my camera down on the bridge with tripod + timer to take this.

Got off the bridge and onwards, we went...
until to the end of the beach where the big rocks are.
Standing on slippery, slippery algae covered rocks :P
Lovely group picture here!♥
This shot is specially for XueNi :3
Audrey's jump~
Perspective!
Me! On a big rock! :D
Audrey with her long legs; joined me on the big rock as well :P
There, we decided to have our dinner at a coffee shop :) We each ordered food from one particular shop and Audrey also, ordered twelve sticks of satay to share.
Ya! This particular store; Pratha Beach.
My order:- Pataya noodles @ RM5!
The very tasty looking satays~ :3
With our orders :)
Snacks we bought for the night!

Since it was a dead end, we decided to start walking back (you know, like to the middle of the beach) Audrey and Daphne wanted to learn our SHINE dance; moreover now it's an excellent time to teach, given that we had nothing to do anyway while waiting for the sun to set :P Going to watch the setting sun!!!
"You, doin' that thing you do!~~"
Well, we didn't dance for long though... TIRED! :X
Lovely sun setting...
Peaceful...~
Just watching the sun set...
:D
Lol'd, using the waterproof camera xD
Getting dark~

The sun was setting pretty slowly~
So there's time to take some silhouette type of pictures! :D
Nasty clouds covering the sun! :@
Silhouette victory sign!
Poses!
Who is who?
Very ze zen!~
L.O.V.E ♥
Y.M.C.A
I have no idea why we did this either xD

Anyway, doing those poses have left us exhausted!! D: So we went back staring at the sun again, until it set beyond the horizons. With that over and done, it's dinner time!!! :D We proceeded to walk back to the jetty area where there's a couple of food stores located there.
Going, going...
(at the very last moment, the irritating clouds blocked the sun...
so I didn't capture its perfect roundness of golden yellow)
Gone! We are sooo out of here!!! xD
Audrey wants to eat the pile of sand on Puikwan's palm...
Lol'd

After dinner, we walked all the way back to our resort rooms to rest up. Audrey and Daphne will have to come over to our side though; because majority of us are there! :P So while waiting for them to come knocking at our door, we - Lisa, Shalee, Puikwan and me, decided to play rounds of Uno - the card game.
Soon, we got tired of boring old Uno game play :( So we moved on to playing rounds of Heart Attack. Then we realized this particular game will stimulate people to start screaming and shouting... the walls of the rooms were how to say... holey? xD! Sounds could actually travel quite clearly to the outsides! So we modified the game a bit to a game of Silent Heart Attack. When the game starts, no one is supposed to make any sound/noise/laughter. If one actually lets out a single peep or a giggle, the rest will keep hitting/beating the person until she stops making sound. Shalee seems rather bad at this game, thus we rewarded her with the most beatings!! :P
Go. go. go!

Go. go. go!
Finally Audrey and Daphne came knocking at our door. We all remained silent and pretended that we were not in. So they knocked and knocked... Well. we did let them in after awhile :P Not so bad, kay?! Audrey came over with her first aid bag to help Puikwan change the dressing for her shaver-razor-blade wound on her knee area. I guessed she is rather worried about her wound touching the seawater for the next day's snorkeling activity D: It's like rubbing salt into the wound... LITERALLY! :X
Our very own medic :P
As you can see we were totally bored, until we even mimicked Shalee's hairstyle by pinning our fringe to the back; creating what she call a "snail" on head effect. & I looked terrible... the downside of having a high forehead like Haruno Sakura xD
Our very own medic :P

It was only 10.15pm then! Still very early, I would say :P So we all went out for a walk and we walked all the way back to the jetty's shops where some of us have a sudden urge to eat ice cream :P The victims were Daphne, Puikwan and me! xD We bought Nestle ice cream cone @ RM2.50.

Finally it was time to call it a day and retreated back indoors; where we continued to have much fun and laughs :P Rest, bathe, card games, dance, food!!~ Lastly of course, to transfer/share the day's pictures and we also crowded around Puikwan's netbook; previewing the pictures and having the time of our lives :)
Look at all the devices out!
Who says we were technology-free :P
Waterproof camera!!~♥

After that, we in room 3A and 3B bade Audrey and Daphne "goodnights" and "see you tomorrows". We packed up our stuffs up neatly and also got ready our stuffs that we were be bringing along for the whole day tomorrow; as we won't be coming back until all the activities were completed - which could be very late :P
