Trips: Tioman Island day 1

Greetings from uk !!


Tioman gang !!


Everyone tells me Redang is wayyyy better than Tioman, truth unfolds, Redang IS better than Tioman.

I do not wish to condemn Tioman because it had sand flies, colourless corals, same kinds of fish and not-so-pretty beaches. I always tell myself the fact, holidays only means more if you have the right company. It is always the people around you that make you enjoy it better !

No more last minute rushing to the bus station this time around. 30minutes ahead of time, punctual as usual, we were already at Pudu, drench in sweat, made our way through the exhaust-filled bus stops on the lower level. Had a rather peaceful journey till we sang a birthday song for some strangers seated behind. Then we got a lecture from a stupid malay man for making too much noise !!! We were just talking man ! although it was 1 am but the indians behind us were shouting !!! WE met a few chinese later and they even said the malay was being unfair ! so much for racial integration.
In the ferry trying to stay awake !
Jetty and my room is located directly overseeing it !

The batangs that i am missing who ended up in a jungle route with our snorkelling gears.
Anyhow, made a stop around 2-3 am in a place that smelled like palm oil fruit. It was middle of no where with no street lamps, had a drink there and my bro sat on the no-light road to take a pic only to be scolded by a mass of drivers !

Got to Mersing at 530 am and we had to wait till 7am for our ferry. Played Frisbee and chilled around a bit. Everyone manage to get a good rest on the ferry and we all headed to PANUBA INN !! .. was a really really nice hotel/chalet. My room was facing the jetty itself. The service was great because i left my plastic bag full of snacks and my pouch in it and they actually made a quick stop to throw it back to me !
ME and my bro showing you the way to tan.
We got bored and all hell let loose..

A picture i loveee
The 4 legged snake we saw ...I don't wanna call it monitor lizard.

So we started camwhoring etc... Went to ABC or something just to check out the beach ... Had to go through a stupid 20minutes jungle trail and ended up disappointed. As usual, played frisbee, went to do our own snorkelling and picture taking .. The fins were soooo uncomfortable and hard to use !

Do i look good in aviators ?? place i slept that night
Rosalyn was so afraid of the speed small boat she kept hanging to it ..

1st day was just busy deciding on what we should do etc... ended up not going anywhere but we took a whole load of awesome pictures ..
Went to tekek to get duty free stuff... everyone actually bought something because it was awfully cheap.. Way cheaper than the ones sold in airport... and the boat ride cost us RM30 per person .. crazy sial ..
