I am back!

It's the day after the trip and I'm still feeling very lazy. Island mode is still on which is okay because Bali is a month away!

4 days and 3 nights at Salang Beach on Tioman Island.

Our itinerary:

Day 0 and Day 1:

Left KL at 11.45 on Wednesday night, took a looooooong drive all the way to Mersing Jetty. Picked up our return tickets at 6:30AM from Kak Tee who works at the jetty. We were supposed to leave the jetty at 7AM but ended up leaving at 8-something AM instead. Malaysian timing... Go figure. Arrived at around 10-ish AM and it felt like it was already past noon. :(

A very long day.

I thought that I was just going to sunbathe but ended up snorkelling anyway.

Accident tally for that day:

• Coral wounds from snorkelling

Day 2:

paid a hundred bucks for a full day of snorkelling. Went on the 'Round Island' trip but skipped Juara Beach, the Waterfall place and Paya which meant we didn't eat lunch. Bought some stuff from Tekek's duty-free shop.

We opened bottles after dinner and played drinking games while watching the football match. I forgot who were playing. May, Ikhsan and Sarah tipsy/drunk... Hilarity ensues.

Celebrated Khalil turning 23 with a Banana Pancake covered in chocolate.

Accident tally for that day:

• Sarah barfed after drinking several Bacardi Apple on the rocks.
• Danny got leg cramps
• Khalil was pelted by eggs, brke his giant lighter accidentally and walked into a low hanging roof.
• Tipsy/Drunk May, Ikhsan and Sarah.

Day 3: 

Lazing about. Attempted to get to shark point by snorkelling in a group but we lost Danny halfway and tracked back to the beach. Sad.

Watched the game between Uruguay (pronounced you-arr-gay) and Korea (pronounced hee-yoon-dai).

Amal was attacked by a speeding bicyclist with a baby and no brakes so we took care of her before we went to finish up yesterday's bottles. Watched Ikhsan, May and Junee go out of their mind. Hung out with everyone til the wee hours of the morning.

Accident tally for that day:

• I fell off my wheelchair, faceplanted and skinned my elbow and my knee.
• Khalil got his land-legs, felt like shit and barfed.
• Amal was sucker punched below the naval by a speeding idiot on a bike with a baby and no brakes.
• Tipsy/Drunk May, Ikhsan and Junee.

Day 4: 

Sara and I overslept while the rest went snorkelling/attempted to catch fish -- and failed.

We left Salang at 3-ish, got trapped in a storm and arrived  back in Mersing at 6-ish.

Made a relaxed journey back to kl, reaching home at 12.

Accident tally for that day:

• Junee had nausea and barfed.
• Adzeem decided to jump a creek and sprained his ankle.

You get what you pay for in terms of services. Ha-ha. The toilets were nastyness ke tahap karma.

The food sucked everywhere except for the restaurant at Salang Pusaka. We should have stayed there or Salang Sayang instead. Oh, and don't go to Salang Dream Restaurant. The food and the service is horrific!

Names coined:

- Dugong + Jellyfish = Dongfish (Me)

- Chesticles = Ikhsan

- Maysquito  = May Lee

- Juju-On = Junee

- Iqmal because people cant be arsed to remember Amal

- Sam because saying 'Sarah' is REALLY hard if you're from Salang.

Uhh... Oh, yeah, pictures.

Snorkelling Dongfish.

Our permanent spot is the payung on the right.

Corals, half of which were dead or dying.

AND some bunch of idiots were trying to hack at a few.

I love these people!!!

Junee's jokes...

Junee: May! I have some names for your future children!

May: Oookaaaaaayyy?

Junee: *ehem* May Ting, Way Ting... *the list goes on but I forgot already*
