A fresh start

Semalam saya spend half an hour reading back all my previous posts. way back til the first one. In two years, so much had happened. But tak semua were written in this blog. So I find it a bit rugi. Sbb lepas baca semua posts tu, I thought to myself, 'eh, ada certain posts yg aku tulis ni, mcm tak ingat pun benda ni jadi.' hahaha. Imagine berapa banyak benda yg dah jadi which I;ve already forgotten..

Right now, I'm thinking should I start blogging again?

Since when?

Okay. When I first logged in to blogger.com, I had no intention to blog whatsoever. Sbb, I thought I signed in using my online business punya user ID. At the dashboard view, it appeared to look a bit weird to me. Sbb I saw the account that I logged in is following another blogshop. So I thought to myself 'eh. Dzue pn selalu tgk blog tu? and used our account to follow the blog.' (and i even smiled to myself. haha). Lepas berfikir for few minutes. Then only it occurred to me. OH. I logged in my own personal account lah! hahaha. (Sorry, Dzue...) Sabar. Cerita belum habis. Then bila dah sedar terlog in account sendiri, I clicked on another link. This link shows you... A-HA! Not telling. I'm so gonna tell this to Pijan and Kimi and Azhar tomorrow. And a few other people. Just for the sake of telling. Haha. Goodnite!

It's Perhentian for 2010!

Cantik kan gambar2 kat atas ni? ;p

I thought I would stop writing. But this just had to be posted here. Hehe. This year, last weekend to be specific, my friends and I (8 of us) went for a beach vacation again! It was Perhentian this time around. Sangat best I'm telling uu!! Kiterg pergi for 3 days 2 nights. Kiterg naik bas from Shah Alam to Kuala Besut. Tiket bas is RM 43.00 per way. The journey took around 10 hours to reach Kuala Besut. Lama gila kan? Pakcik driver tu amatlah berhemah and amatlah suka berhenti. Naik bas pukul 8.30pm, sampai dalam pukul 6.00am. Then kiterg pegi surau nearby the bus station to smyg and basuh2 muka. Bila dah terang sikit, we walked to the jetty and had our breakfast dkt satu kedai makan ni. Taktau la nama apa. Tapi nasik lemak dia amat superb sekali!

THE nasik lemak. Malas nak rotate the pic. haha

Lepas makan, pegi office travel agent and buat segala urusan yg sepatutnya. Btw, agent yg bwk kiterg is Perhentian Sunny Travel. Recommended for those yg nak pergi dgn small budget. Cos, on the first day, I was quite not comfortable yg abe bok yg bwk kiterg tu (abg boat dalam loghat kelantan) tak cukup life jacket utk kiterg berlapan. Nasib baik tiga jejaka tu sume pandai berenang. boleh lah share2 life jacket tu bila semput.

The boat ride. Dah nak sampai dah time ni.

Anyway, we stayed at a new chalet called B'First chalet at Teluk Dalam, Perhentian Besar. Ok. Sebenarnya the initial plan was to stay at Abdul Chalet, which is also at Perhentian Besar. Sadly, despite of great reviews and comments in Trip Advisor, Abdul Chalet has failed to honor the booking that we have made with them last minute. Apa perasaan korg semua kalau malam ni nak pegi naik bas dah, ptg ni travel agent tu call and ckp tak dpt bilik dkt Abdul Chalet tu. Apparently ada mat salleh yg taknak check out from one of supposed to be our rooms, jadi bilik kiterg tak cukup. Biasa lah org kita ni, priority nya mesti mat salleh kan. Sorry Abdul Chalet, reputasi awak dah tercemar di mata kami.

Whatever it is, B'First Chalet wasn't that bad. Ok. Not that perfect I would say. But decent enough. Dia belum siap renovate. Takde plag kt dalam bilik. Tapi toilet dia bersih. Bilik pun bersih. We had three beds in each of our room. Tapi dkt kawasan luar bilik tu tak berapa bersih, as mentioned dia belum siap renovate. So understandable lah. The best part of B'First Chalet is the great food that they serve. Order lah apa pun. semua sedap!

the room & the toilet

On the first day, in the morning since kiterg sampai awl kan, we didn't do much. Main2 air and main2 pasir jer. Sbb 1st snorkelling trip pukul 2.30pm. So kiterg bercanda di tepi pantai saje lah. Dalam pada bercanda tu sempat jugak la hilang kunci bilik chalet. haha. dua kunci pulak tu yg hilang. Nasib baik pakcik chalet tu baik. Dia tak marah, tapi agak pasrah. ahah. Weather and surrounding on the first day sangat cantik! Air pun super jernih!

see the sky! sangat biru. cantikkkkk. :)

Crystal clear water. love!

Lepas habis main2, lunch dkt B'First, kiterg pun pergi snorkel. Tak ingat sangat lah mana abe bok tu bawak kiterg sebenarnya. haha. tapi snorkelling amat memenatkan.

Muka2 kepenatan lepas snorkel

Balik dari snorkel, mandi2 and bersiap utk dinner. We had our dinner at Flora bay resort. I would like to say makanan kat situ tak sedap dan mahal! If dkt B'first we would be paying RM 72 - RM 75 for 8 of us. Tapi kt situ kena dlm RM 100+. Dah lah tak sedap. Lepas makan, balik tido.

Second day, lepas snorkelling, we were brought to Windmill kt atas bukit. Kena naik tangga tinggi amat. Penat sungguh bila sampai kt atas tu. Lepas tu pegi Long Beach. Sayang nya second day tak bawak camera. Long Beach sangat cantik sebenarnya. Pantai dia macam swimming pool yg besar. Very pretty. And abe bok tinggal kan kiterg dkt long beach tu sekejap sbb dia nak balik kg dia nak isi minyak boat. sangat malang sbb kiterg tak bawak apa2 pun kecuali effi. dia ada bwk RM 10. Dapat lah beli roti jagung gardenia, biskut gula tiger, beberapa biji choclaire, biskut ape tah lagi satu tu. ahaha. Balik tu, kiterg lunch dkt Flora lagi. sebenarnya tersilap. Sbb kiterg confuse. Tempat tu tempat yg lain dari the one that we went the night before. Tapi it was run by Flora jugak. Tak sedap! and mahal! Ptg tu we went kayakking. Oh sangat best. I'm actually very scared of bumpy boat ride and the sea itself. Tapi kayak sangat bestt! Charge utk kayak is RM 15 per hour per kayak. Lepas kayak, bercanda di tepi pantai sambil2 cari nemo.

Kayak

Nemo. hihi. Tak payah susah2 snorkel nak tgk Nemo. Kt pantai Teluk Dalam tu pun boleh tgk bila air surut. ;p

Dinner utk second day ni, we chose Samudra. I ordered mac n cheese. See below what I've got.

Perhentian's very own mac n cheese people! terbaikkk. hahaha

Tapi sedap jer pun. No complains. :))

Third day, we were hoping to see the sun rise. Sbb menurut kata abe bok, kiterg bley tgk matahari terbit from pantai. bsemangat la kiterg bangun pagi nak tgk kan...

Matahari terbit di balik bukit. Hampa. Haha

Pagi2 ni tak buat apa2 sangat.. Lepak je tepi pantai n main pasir..

Lepas tu pegi kayak2 lagi.. masa ni kayak lama gila.. from one end to the other end of teluk tu. jauh gila. bangga dgn diri sendiri. ahaha. tapi penat. siap terlebih satu jam and kena byr extra dkt org kayak tu. besttt. tapi ada berita sedih. balik je dari kayak, hp and cameraku dimasuki air.. :'(( dua2 sampai hari ni rosak. hp dah hanta kedai. camera taktau lah nak buat apa.. bila tanya org kedai camera, dia cakap if masuk air, charge nak repair, macam beli baru. jer.. tskkkkk. nasib baik memory card tak rosak. maka ada lah gambar2 ni sume.. haish.

Basically, the above is the summary of our vacation. Can't wait for the next one! :))

p/s: overall costs and expenses for 8 pax are as below:

>> 3D2N package - RM 1700
>> Bus ticket (Shah Alam - Kuala Besut) - RM 43/way, RM 688 in total
>> Food and activities during the trip - approximately RM 1,000

Total expense per person is approximately RM 450.

Murah kan?
