Greetings from the island : Hola from Pulau Tioman, Pahang!

September 17, 2010 by thejessicat

 

 

For those of you who are following me on Twitter, yall would've already known that I am right here in Tioman, as we speak 🙂
 

Anyways, the sea was incredibly rough due to the storm the night before. Was drenched and splitter splattered through puddles of rainwater when I made my way to the bus terminal this morning! I chartered a coach to Mersing jetty before hitting the water taxi towards Tioman Island.
 

 


 

Thank goodness I wasn't close to experiencing any nauseousness nor feeling sea sick at any point!
 

 


It was only a one and a half hour ride though, yet felt like eons. Heck, had spent the entire morning in the coach already – a 5 hour journey 🙁 Come on already. Grrrr. I would've died of boredom if not for some very nice and interesting people I met during the journey *wink* 😉
 

More of that later!
 

 


 

The whole ferry was practically bobbing up and down vigorously and swaying from side to side.

 


 

 

But all is worth the wait and Poseidon's merciless waves when I finally saw Tioman harbour in the near distance! 😀
 

The seas were a whole lot calmer as we approached piers after piers. I saw many boats and yatches sailing around too, just before I arrived my destination
 

 


 

The clear blue seas were pristine in every sense of the word
 

No other Malaysian island can beat the crystal clear waters beneath me today

(okay maybe Redang Island is a close fight!)

 

 

Checked into the hotel – courtesy of Berjaya Tioman Beach, Golf & Spa resort – and chillaxed at the verandah to catch some air. Loved their chalet and village concept! Very cosy and close to nature.

 


 Random picturesque scene I shot whilst on the sea taxi.

Told you told you told you! 😀 😀 Nature at its finest

Pictures never do things justice though, but it was indeed a beauty


 

Imma get myself some snoozies first, heading for a round island tour tomorrow morning before proceeding for some snorkelling/diving at the Marine Park 😀 *eggcited*
 

More of the gigantic resort and Tioman island tomorrow! But one thing's for sure, for an island off the east cost of Peninsular Malaysia, the internet speed is pretty damn good 😉
 

 

 

Anyone up for some duty-free goodies? Nyehehe.
 

Stocked up the whole fridge already!

Our short weekend getaway @ Langkawi Island! Of booze, chocolates & fireworks. HOLIDAY!

August 29, 2010 by thejessicat

 

 

Heyyy!
 

How was your weekend everyone? 😀
 

 

I headed back to give my family a visit and while I was browsing through some piccies, I realized that I long for another well deserved holiday so much! Well, MATTA Fair will be up and running next week and I just can't wait to choose the awesome packages there.
 

 

So lemme recap my weekend in Langkawi with the boyfie Josh some time back 🙂 Realized that I haven't blogged 'em yet!
 

 

 

Departed from Swettenham Pier in Penang Island with the ferry.

Camwhored like crayyyyzeee!
 

 

 

When we reached, the first place we hit was the beach! 😀
 

 

 

And decided to photobomb each other in the midst of narcissism
 

 

it wasn't planned! Bwhahaha
 

What a coincidence
 

 

Fast forward!
 

After playing in the sand like lil kids, it's time for some extreme sports 😀

 

Motorboating yo!
 

That thing can go almost 300km/h yo

 

Took a ride! The seas were vicious but we still managed to squeeze a piccie
 

Thankfully, the speedboat didn't topple over!
 

 

 

We were speeding ala too fast too furious! Right in the middle of the rough waves
 

Take a look!

Josh superfreaked out lest I drop the camera into the deep depths of the sea

Nyehehe
 

 

 

But I didn't lor!
 All safe and sound
 

 

Here I am acting all macho like I own the waves!
 

Bwaaaahaaha 😛
 

 

 

All done with riding the seven seas :P
 

What an adrenalin rush!
 

 

 


This overdue holiday was done at the start of 2010!

That time, my red highlights of 2009 had faded off already
 

 

Let the rain fall and wash away our writings in the sand!
 

 

Chilled out more at the beach and walked along the stretch of bazaars! I went absolutely bonkers shopping for sun dresses, bikinis, hair clips and whatnot!
 

 

And then nightfell. Had a good night's sleep back at the hotel
 

 

 

And before we knew it, it was the next day! A whole new day of activities lies ahead of us
 

 

Went for a traditional Chinese massage!
 

 

 

I did the reflexology! Ima fan of foot massages, in fact in every island I visit, the reflexology is a MUST do! 😀
 

Here I am getting tortured LOL

When you're laden with stress, I'm certain it'll hurt pretty bad!

And here's Josh getting himself tortured as well
 

I mustered whatever Mandarin I can to get the masseur to massage him harder! 😛

 

 

Did some shopping and dinner thereafter
 

 

Awwwwwww adorable max!!
 

 

And how can we forget, chocolates!
 

Here are some of my faves… Guylian's seashells

 

Dinner at a seafood restaurant! Langkawi's pretty fehmes for its seafood
 

Loved the Pineapple rice there too! We had calamari, fish, soft shell crabs and much more

 

 

Our last night at the beach.
 

Thought it would be nice to sit warmly by the bonfire

 

And it was huge!!! 😀
 

Not to mention extremely glaring too
 

 

A beautiful arsenal of fireworks made their way through the nightsky

The display lasted for almost 5 minutes!
 

 

 

Headed off to the Bird Paradise park the next day
 

So much birds! I had fun feeding 'em too

 

Cockatooooooooooooo
 

 

 

And it was time to go off already!
 

Time seems to stop whenever you're on a holiday ey. 🙁 🙁
 

 

Goooooooodbye Langkawi!
 

We'll be back again for the fun, the booze, the beach and the seafoooood!

 

 

Short weekends trippin' are the best way to renergize yourself for a brand new week ahead.
 

This year, I'll be heading to Pangkor Island, Tioman Island and Bali if everything goes smoothly as planned!

 

*crosses fingers*
