Unpredictable

Recently, I have 2 friends promoted to "parents" level. They are so happy. One even updating her baby's blog frequently, sharing the photos & happiness around.

Later, suddenly another friend was hospitalised due to appendix burst. Such a horrible news and I could not think what would happen.. the fear of losing friends crawling back again. Thanks to God, he is miraculously survived. It is really a rare case that ppl survived from appendix burst, especially the doctor only dscovered after burst for 5 days. Such a lucky guy!! I don't know if my friend will change his thinking after survive from this incident cuz i always heard those ppl who nearly die and survive always change their thinking a lot after that.

After going to hospital few times with different feeling, suddenly I feel hospital is a complicated stopover place.... welcoming new lives, mourning lives fade off. It makes me feel life is so unpreditable.

Perhentian Island... I miss you!!

Wow wow wow~~~ This trip... the water are soooo clear, sand is soooo fine, hot sun and bikini ladies... slurp. :P

Oh.. 1st of all.. where's perhentian island? It was on the "top" (north) of rendang island, in Kelatan state (in Malaysia... I got friend said in Indonesia!! Not Indonesia!!). From jetty to the island takes around half an hour and at anytime. But coming back from island to jetty, only 3 times a day and the journey from jetty to airport takes 1 hour. So gotta calculate the time, don't miss the flight.

1st day reach the island, i started to think... how to spend 1 week on this small island? See fishes. Snorkle? Nope, i never try before.. bit afraid and doubt how many fishes could i see?

Well, thanks to my friend went to sign up the advance diving, then kept on saying to me... you can just do some boring snorkelling over the whole week. What!!! :< Then start to enourage me to try the scuba discovery which only 1 dive & cost RM200. Hm.. that's expensive. I started to look at the price list and decided to try half course of open water first. If everything goes fine, i will just need to top up the difference & complete the full course. With bit fear, I managed to finish the whole open water after 3-4 days. :D

The next day a mini jungle trekking & followed sun tanned. Gosh!!! It ended up we found a part of the beach where you totally no need to dive nor snorkle. You just walk... up to the knees, you will see lots of fishes and few corals. If walk a bit further up to your chest... gosh!! there's clown fish (nemo). The 2nd last day we had canoeing. We were tired and started to have arguements, then saying sorry after reach the beach.

Eating was really expensive there. Roti canai which was sold around RM0.80 outside, it was sold at RM2 each & min. order was 2 pcs. Coffee or tea also sold at RM2, but but if you order teh tarik.. it will be double to RM4. Gosh!! i never know the labour charges for "tarik" the tea is so expensive!!!

Accomodation will be much depend on individuals. Cheapskate ppl like me.. of cuz chose the cheapest.. no hot water, only fan, a chalet at RM60 per nite. Have to say.. think sometimes a meal was more expensive than 1 nite's accomodation.

After this trip, i realised sometimes i am really naive and stubborn and had embarrassed myself few times during this holiday. Thanks for compromising all the time and thanks for the trip, i have better view of myself. A small but beautiful island... I miss it so much.
