Photos taken from Tioman
[My 100th entry]
It's official!
As I logged in, I saw that I have 99 posts....
So it means that....
This is my no. 100 entry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry about the late entry though...I was actually thinking of uploading last week...but I was too busy and lazy to blog this entry, cos' stupid photobucket is taking so bloody long to load when I was uploading the Tioman photos...
Anyway, coincidentally, this 100th entry is dedicated to some photos taken from Tioman trip with him, I didn't want to upload all cos' some are meant to be confidential:), and also the fact that we didnt take too many photos cos' there were only 2 of us.
(Well Dylan, here are the Tioman trip photos! NAH! LOL...). FINALLY right?? Well here goes:
On the ferry ride to Salang....
Well, I love this photo. Cos' dear looked so happy here. I have never taken a photo with him looking so SMILEY and cute:) And throughout the ferry ride he was like "Are we there yet?"(inside joke, think Shrek2)
Lunch time...
Well, this was taken once we reached Salang. We reached there at about 2 plus in the afternoon? We were famished.
As we were walking around...
We spot this! Or rather dear spot it first. He was like, "What is that? Crocodile I think!" Well, up till today, I still have no idea what was that. I just randomly gave him an answer, which was an iguana.
Another one...
Well, he spot this...
And he wanted to sit on it. Like a
you zai xian zai(translation:relaxing) lifestyle. Must blend in with the culture there.
The scenery...
Yeah, of course me, but since scenery is the focus, even if you can't see me it's ok.
Another one..
This time with dear...
Well, we went on this Round Island Trip that cost about rm80. Eh, actually dear was very nice. He only wanted to go for the Coral Island Trip, which cost rm60, which only consists of snorkelling trip around Coral Island...while the Round Island trip is like all around Tioman Island, where there is not only snorkelling, but visiting other places...like the other beaches and waterfall.
So because I said the Round Island trip seemed more worth it, he agreed to go to the Round Island trip instead. Eh, I think the Coral Island trip will be more fun, cos' there is less travelling needed to be done. We spent alot of time travelling on the speed boat for the Round Island trip, cos' we were to travel around the island
ma, so
duh!
We didn't get to take photos of the snorkelling trip though:( cos' we didn't have the underwater camera thingy. But it was er...scary for me at first (I think I am hydrophobic, even with life jacket). Dear was nice about it though, he even dived into the sea and picked one of the sea cucumber up from the sea bed so that I get to touch it.
To me, it looks like a piece of shit. Of the black colour variety.
Anyway, for the Round Island trip, we went to the waterfall. Took some photos there...
Me and dear:)
Myself...the water was freezing. Sharp contrast to the hot weather.
Us again..
Someone helped us take the photos...and this one was taken with us caught unawares...
Me at the waterfall...Like I said, the water WAS freezing cold. So I wasn't particularly fond of posing under the waterfall.
Dear seemed to like posing at the waterfall though:)
Dear was happily waddling in the water...seriously, he is good at swimming, good enough to dive into the water and swim like a fish, and sometimes, like a dog, silly but cute:)
Lastly...this is the last photo that we took before we left..
Nice clear water with tiny fishes right?
I really like the place. It is really a relaxing place to go to, as the lifestyle there reminds me of kampong life...but quite a modern one at that cos' the resorts there, though built to look like kampongs, most of them are air conditioned. So it is really different from Singapore's busy and fast paced lifestyle. Quite a good place for a really relaxing getaway, and is quite cheap at that.
I heard Phuket is even better, so that is my next goal destination, though it is much more expensive:). So if you are looking for a really serene place to relax and getaway from the hectic lifestyle of Singapore and with quite a tight budget, Tioman is a good choice:).
Enough on Tioman...
********************************************
Just another photo that me and dear took on a KTV trip before andre sets off to Perth...
Eh, there are other photos, but they are with dear's friend. When he sent it to us, I will probably upload the rest:)
Enough about photos......
********************************************
Harry Potter and the deathly hallows is out. I MUST HAVE IT. I mean, those of you who know me well should know I am a big fan of Harry Potter. I like, have ALL the books and ALL the vcds of the movies. So definitely, I watched Order of Phoenix already. I would say it is good and bad, good considering that the fifth book is really thick, and they managed to
put almost all the important plots inside. Bad as in, like I said, almost all the important plots are inside. I still think that they seriously overlooked one character, who will be very very important in the last two instalments of the Harry Potter series. The character is Ginny Weasley. Those of you who are not fans of Harry Potter, I am spoiling this for you. Ginny is important BECAUSE she will be his girlfriend and wife in the last two books. She is, in the books(at least from fifth book onwards), very pretty, so much so that even Malfoy thinks she is pretty and that due to her beauty she is popular among guys and thus changed lots of boyfriends, AND very witty, humorous, smart and a strong person(she doesn't break down and cry easily, unlike Cho, so that is why Harry like her over Cho in the end). But in this movie Ginny doesn't seem to display much of the above mentioned traits, does she? Oh well...let's hope that in the future movies she is going to have more constructive and witty lines, and that by some miracle, turn into a beauty(cos' seriously, I don't really find the current actress who is acting as her very pretty).
Besides Order of Phoenix, I watched Transformers too. Some of my friends tell me that they never know how attractive robots can be, or that they have fallen in love with Optimus Prime or Bumblebee.
For me, not to be arrogant or what, let's just say that I have been in love with Optimus since I was say, eight years old? I like to watch the cartoons, and even have a toy model of Optimus, which is sadly, given away:(. I like Transformers probably due to the fact that I like to play with transportation toys(I like cars and trucks, basically land transports) besides barbie dolls.
Like I said, part of the theme song that I remembered from the cartoon was
transformers, robots in disguise. Up till today, I still have no idea whether I was right or not, cos' I was so young then. Any fans out there who knows whether the words are like that?
Like I mentioned before, if those are not the exact words, I have remembered the wrong words for half of my life:X.
Well, enough about my childhood love for Optimus and transformers. Blame it on my nostalgia:X
- Tranformers, robots in disguise.
