Tioman Island- April 2007




The things I did at Tioman Island- We stayed at the Jaguh Resort for 3 nights

Canoeing

Fenatz! I think we canoed about 3 ke 5 km kot... I ran out of breath few times and that led me and my partner being the 2nd last pair to arrive at the beach. A very mental and physical abuse! But I did enjoy it especially when we were making the U-Turn around the small island; the water was quite unfriendly and rocked our canoe until there was a point when I thought the canoe would turn over and throw us into the sea. But it did not, fortunately..I didn’t think the wave could deal with my weight. Haha...


Fishing

Best! Best! Best! We were brought to middle of the sea by a fishing boat. And I managed to catch a small Kelisa and an anak Siakap. When we disembarked at the beach, my Director, Mr SN showed me the fishes that he had caught. They were about 5 times larger than mine. Later, he invited me to join him that nite to the sea again. Erk.. to be honest, I didn’t think I could stand riding on the boat again. Banyak pening kepala mak ni..

Snorkelling

Wah... it was my first time. And I was out of breath! Captured by the moments. I could bet that those who love this activity, must have thought that I was overreacting. I was indeed! Fishes were beautiful, corals were colourful and sea cucumber! Normally I would only see the processed ones only- Minyak Gamat. They were crawling on the sea bed. And when we went to the Marine Park, it was more than I could imagine.


Rappeling

Erm...not to brag... but I’ve done this many times before. Abseiling, Fox Flying and Rappeling are the things that I really enjoyed when I went for any camps. Takut lah jugak all the time but I would normally relax while doing it... but this time it was not really scarry maybe because the slope was not that steep or maybe because the camp participants are quite ederly people (termasuklah makcik ni) and those muscular abang2 firefighters whom assisted us were also appealing.. hihihi

Swimming

Argh... I am really afraid of water since that one incident in the swimming pool. I could swim a bit but fear posseses me all the time. So, thanks to Rudy, he pulled all the way from the mid ocean to the shore, despite of his bebel bebel all the way... but he was being very nice and helpful. Penat tau... we had to swim about 500m as our big boat could not disembark at the shore.

BBQ on the isolated small Island

That was the purpose of us being thrown into the mid sea and swam to the shore. We ate BBQ fishes wrapped in the big leaves. Sedap... then after our stomaches were filled up, we rode on the small boat and boarded the big boat. On the way back to the jetty, I puked. Peninglah... and was very fatigued.

Marine Park


Mesmerised, magnificent, amazing, awe...etc were the feelings I felt. Sangat menarik tau! While some the guys jumped into the sea to swim in the crystal clear sea along with the colourful fishes, me and Iza sat on the bridge and attractted the fishes by feeding them with the fish bread we bought at the park.




Those were the some of the activities that we did for the 3 nights and 4 days.The chalets were satisfactory. 2 double beds and an ensuite bathroom. It is definitely a place that I would like to pay another visit. And go snorkelling again and again...
