...PARADISE...

I'm back from Paradise!!! Oh man, where do i start! hmm... Well, lemme juz say that Perhentian was sooooooooo relaxing. I've never lazed around like that for a freakin long time... hehehe... Imagine, i juz sat by the beach, doing nothing but having a nice chilled beer... hahaha... Am sooo thirsty now... hehehe.

Ok, so this is wat happened. It was quite an experience. This trip was only planned like three days before. We didnt book our transportation tickets, we didnt book our hotels... nothing... In fact, we didnt even know which part of the island we were gonna go... hahaha. So, we juz packed our bags the night before, went to the bus station, bought our tickets, and got on the coach for a loooong 8hour ++ drive up to Kuala Besut, Terengganu. The bus ride wasn't all that boring actually. We couldn't wait till we reached the island, so we started drinkin in the bus itself. It was a night bus btw. We reached Kuala Besut at around 4.30am. Yup, you guessed it... we didnt know wat the heck to do n where to go coz the boat ride was only at 9am. Then guess wat? The boat company ppl gave us a like a free lodging room to rest till dawn. Cool ey? haha.

Then it was time to get on the boat (did i mention that we wanted to budget on transportation and accomodation, but spend like Kings in the island?) well, since we wanted to cut cost, we took the cheapest boat. Hmmm... we were at the dock n we saw all these cool "spaceship" lookin' boats n stuff, but they weren't our rides. We got on an old, n i mean OLD fishing boat. Oh yeah, it was freakin scary!! We had to use lifejackets while on board, n the life jackets were all soakin wet, like its been DOWN juz the night before. hahaha... so that was an hour and 45 min ride. Finally we reached the island, n there was no dock in sight. We were supposed to carry our bags above our heads and walk in the water, which was around chest level. oh juz in case you didnt know, I CANT SWIM!!!! And the water wasn't all that calm like PD or somethin. Ppl were like surfing okay!!! So u can imagine how rough the damn sea was. Oh well, some speedboat malay dudes saved us... paid them like 2bucks each so they could transfer us from the fishing boat to the shore... hehehe...

Alright, so we're in the island... and we were like.... OH MY GOSH!!!! Its sooooo awesome... Its beautiful! Its freezing cold in the afternoon (coz of the winds... not snow or anythin...hahaha), and it was really like a total 'Getaway'. Oh n there were no such thing as a LUXURIOUS bathroom on the damn island!!! They had it, but in the real expensive resorts that will cost like around RM500 per night for two. Oh btw, there were 5 of us. Oh n in case you didnt know again, i Can't, i mean I CANNOT, juz CANT use a bathroom if its not super clean!!! But well, i got over that! We stayed in quite an awesome place. Very budgetable n really nice. Some "kampung" like chalet. Oh n the bathroom was outside... not dirty, but "in the jungle" kind...hehehe Oh the water was directly from the waterfall... no heater!! N lotsa animals!! Like iguanas n stuff...hehehe... But was really nice!!

Well, to cut the long story short. This is wat we did while we were there:

1st Day
