Trip to Beaches

Here I am, back from another powderful trip with a little bit of luck on my side.

On 10/3/2011, a group of 6 embarked on a journey to Pulau Perhentian. It was nominated as one of the Top 5 beaches in the world according to an article which I read at the Kota Bharu Jetty.

The boat sailing to that island wasn't a pretty easy ride. 2 of the 6 went for the early flight hence they reached earlier than us. And they get to ride the resort's own private boat. Four of us that reached later have to settled with a speedboat. For the whole 45 minutes, we were sailing against the wave and almost every waves, we can feel the boat was up in the air and fall down *BANG!* hit the sea surface.

All these big waves are still effects from the monsoon that just ended recently. And we didn't knew that. Bad for us indeed. But nonetheless, we arrived at the island safely and had a welcome drinks from the BuBu Long Beach Resort.

Day 1 - We didn't had much of activities as we arrived pretty late and only managed to enjoy the sea waves and the sandy beach :)

Day 2 - We went to snorkeling and did not bring DSLR as it wasn't a good resistance to water elements. But we do managed to snap big waves during our Sunset Discovery.

Day 3 - It was our last day. So early in the morning, we got up and went for breakfast. Then, we packed our stuffs and get ready to get back to reality which is KL

Overall, it was an adventurous trip for us even with all those waves and also the Tsunami alert.

Yes, our island was alerted by the authority that it might be hit by the Tsunami waves but luckily it went to the other side of the world instead.

P/S : My condolences to the lost lives from the earthquake and tsunami tragedy. And btw, me and my dear celebrated our 4 years and 2 months at there :)
