Scandalous Escape - Pulau Tioman (Day 1)
My darling, Lesey, and I booked a 3D2N Tioman trip from 22/9/08 to 24/9/08 from Discovery Tours. You may say it’s a moment of impulse but we did enjoy ourselves so much that it’s a torture to drag ourselves up the ferry home. Anyway, here are the super duper late updates (better late than never, right? Haha!). And I had a really hard time deciding which photos, out of the 400+ that we had, to be uploaded. =)
On that wet Monday morning, we boarded the coach at Scotts Road at freaking 6.40am. I couldn’t really remember much of the journey because I was drooling away. We stopped roughly twice or thrice? Hahaha! I’m sure that we reached Tanjung Gemok (TGM) ferry terminal at 11am and waited until 12pm for our second phase of the journey. Erm… Slept again. =X
After 5 hours of road and sea, we were greeted with our mini paradise – Paya Beach Resort. I must admit that this was not the luxury kind of holiday but more of a laidback and kampong styled one.
Our room type was named Aman Damai Wing aka their standard chalet. These standard chalets are located around a huge pond. The room is relatively neat and clean and could comfortably fit 4 people.
After we settled down, had lunch, *proof* off we went to explore the island which was almost isolated. Then the whole crazy cam-whoring episode started... Come on! It’s LESEY and EUNICE. What else we do best? Hahaha! The beach was scattered with huge rocks which you could see while it’s low tide. They don’t make the beach user-friendly, hence, we didn’t swim in the sea. The sand was quite coarse too. Although the beach was not comparable to Redang, I love the idea of a 一望無際的海. All in all, the scenery created picture perfect shots (plus us, of cos!). “Climbed over rocks, waded across shallow stream, stroll along the sandy shore… Absolutely gorgeous!!!”
These scenic photos were my best collections thoughout all my beach trips. We used self-timer and could you imagine how many times do we need to run up and down? Hahaha! I felt like a professional model. Just that… my mother commented “how come you look so fat in those photos?” Lol. That’s besides the point lah.
I’m so certain that these could be cover page of some yoga book or video. Hahaha! Fun lah. Too bad we couldn’t twist and turn to do more advance yoga poses.
*Drum roll* My Favourite photo
Wait till you see the video before you comment on our level of cam-whoring… =)
When the sun goes down, there’s literally NOTHING to do. Not much activities except for chilling out and playing cards or pool. No doubt the both of us could self-entertained but somehow I wished the whole gang was here. Our first night was spent playing cards and sharing secrets. =X hahaha! On the whole, it’s great chatting the night away. *wink*
-That’s all for Day 1-
