BestDay Intan..

Last Friday (15-12) after work, we had such a laugh for Intan B'day Party at Cakri Palace KLCC.. the initial plan was to have it at either Madam Kwan's or Chili's and most of us wouldn't mind to either of this venue, however few complication arises just a day b4 the party.. extreme measure and instance decision required b'coz the party must GO ON.. so, thursday morning I'd called everyone on the list to reconfirm their attendance for a new venue still within KLCC area tho... luckily all of them are willing and able to come even on short notice of the new venue. Just an hour b4 lunch I rang Cakri to book table for 16 ppl on friday at 6pm... another lucky coincident (they have table for 16ppl).. I must say, you need more than lucky to assemble all your plan for last minute changes..



Almost 80% of our MTs turn up that nite even the non-so-familiar faces had showed up (I am very very glad that u guys come, Thank you so much!). Check out some of the photos below (Anne thank you for sharing your photos!!)..

Tioman

Tioman pun besh gak.. tapi agak jauh skit dr jetty Kuala Rompin, the ferry trip took us about 2hrs to get to tioman. Still amazing but it was better 6 yrs ago.. this is my second time holiday at this island. By the time we get to the island it's almost midday... dry and sunny... we walk around looking for a good chalet and we found Nazri2 which is pretty a good location. The price is not too bad and it is fully airconditioned plus the beach is merely at our door step. The photo here was taken from our veranda (utterly gorgeous!!).


We spent about a week here and made few friends especially Darren, Maria and Mo. We had such a great time with them... snorkling, chasing turtle, boat ride, venture to the waterfall, etc... We really had such an amazing time, all of us did.. We were very close as if we've known each other for donkey years. To meet up with them at the island unplanned is a Bonus to us. Great holiday... Gorgeous island.. and Superb mates, you can't as more than that.


Tioman will always be in my heart..!!








Perhentian

My recent holiday (around mid June 2006) cum island hopping on the east coast peninsular was such an amazing adventure. We (me + nick) start of with an arduous drive from KLIA to Kuala Besut then to Pulau Perhentian Kecil. It took us about 12hrs almost none stop (plus we got lost couple of times.. hehehe) to get to Kuala Besut Jetty. I did the driving most of the time and it seemed like it never end... On and on.. plus the road was pretty empty. It felt longer than the actual time, yet I tried to stay focus most of the time and stayed awake.. hehehe..


We left my mom about midnight and got to the jetty (Kuala Besut) about midday. Prior to that we got to Kuala Terengganu, I though we are already at the jetty, we were so so happy then for few minutes, until I found out that we have to drive another 2hrs or so for the jetty to Perhentian island :( bloody hell.. we will never get there aren't we..!! And off we go again


Frankly, we don't exactly know how to get there, purely based on sign board (that doesn't help either) and a bit of luck may be.. hehehe.. well, after more than an hour driving, we were lost (not surprised with the way we plan our trip, well it is an adventure anyway). Luckily we came across a few local people and they had helped us for direction to the jetty. Off we go and hopefully we won't get lost again this time. An hour had past and we were on the right track, just follow the sign board, which eventually brought us to the Kuala Besut jetty.. YESSSSS !!!


After taking out all our luggage (I really mean LUGGAGE) and park the car, we bought the ferry ticket (not really a ferry, it is just a boat and not a big one honestly, bit scary tho) to Perhentian Island - Suria Beach Resort. There were about 6 of us all together in this small boat. The boat driver just speed up to the island (as if we were on jetski, pretty mad..!!) and we got there 45min later. The view of the island was breath taking, heavenly mesmerizing!! and it worth the 12hrs drive. All our tiredness and fatigue just vapourise in thin air... it just gone..
