Just came back yesterday from a super last minute trip to tioman! Didn't expect that I'd actually take up huiteng's offer haha.

Thanks babe for selling off the tickets to us so cheap! And it was really a pleasant surprise to bump into you at gemuk yesterday! Hope you loved your trip too!! =)

And so, a few days ago, bern and I hurriedly packed our bags, not really knowing what to bring along, and set off at 6am the next morning for tioman. How's that for a rushed decision mans. Lol.

At any rate! The journey there was torturous, to say in the least. Had to endure a 4 hours bus ride to tanjong gemuk, then wait another hour plus for the delayed ferry, before finally boarding the ultra noisy ferry which did nothing to help my headache.

By the time we reached paya beach, it was around 3pm. Goshh!!

The room wasn't too bad, just that for some reason (I don't know if it's just our room) it had quite a few..erm..problems. Haha. Take for instance, a balcony light that didn't work, a TV which came with only one channel, and in black and white to boot. It took some getting used to coloured tv back here in sg. Hahaha.

Slacked our first day away by sleeping cos' we were just so tired from the travelling. Tioman is really pretty much kampung-like, but it was total R&R!

2nd morning saw us going out on a boat to snorkel at coral island and the marine park. I don't know how to describe my experience, apart from "breathtaking". And I think even that word doesn't begin to do justice. Maybe it's because I'm so naturally afraid of water that I still can't quite believe I actually went to snorkel in the open sea.

I guess it really helped to have bern around, and the guide who realised my water phobia. Haha. Because of him, we got to snorkel in areas which we wouldn't have dreamt of venturing to! And we even saw a shark!! Omgoshh that was uber exciting! The "vegetarian" shark, as I'll always remember it by. Hahaha. Just a pity that we didn't think to bring along an underwater camera...wasted! Other than that, we took as many pictures as bern's camera allowed..pics will be up on facebook soon! Once bern uploads and sends them over. *hint hint* =D

Also trekked abit to see the rock fall, not supremely spectacular but still, rather pretty. And super refreshingly cold water! I just didn't feel the millions of mosquito bites we had were really worth it. Haha.

Didn't really do alot there, come to think of it. Considering the main attractions are sea sports and trekking..but we did abit of both! I do miss the place, despite all the mosquitoes and neverending visits by eight-legged creatures in our room. Lol.

I miss our bubbled-black and white tv, the night sky lit up by thousands and thousands of sparkling stars..a sight I will never forget. The crystal clear sea waters, home to the gorgeous marine life which I got to come into direct contact with..the laidback lifestyle and friendly people on the island..I'd love to go back to tioman again. =)

And, last minute travelling is pretty fun in its own way. Haha. I'm glad I got to experience this holiday after all. =)

It would have been wonderful if we could have gone together..then all the spectacular images of underwater marine life we used to see on documentaries would have been ours to experience and enjoy..
