Holidays are passing so fast. Damn can't keep touch with time. Can somebody please tell me its not ending soon? Okay I know I haven't blogged in like 5 days. Pardon me 'cause I was away overseas. Yeah so well lets review what happened shall we.
DAY 1
Right so I woke up on wednesday in the morning. Well I felt quite dispersed. Not entirely sick. But a little ill. Yes its ironic. But I'm okay. So actually it was all rushing to pack last-minute stuff in the luggage. I packed my playstation as planned with my cousin. Secretly that is. They would probably say no if they knew, like why bring the playstation when you can have fun swimming at sea with the fishes? Well I don't wanna take any chances being bored at the chalet at night. So yes. Then we set off to the airport.
It was kinda in a rush. Cos like we have to be at the airport about 2 hours earlier that departure. You know with the signing in and security checks and stuff. Yep so actually we went to a smaller airport. And I wouldn't exactly call it an airport either. More like a plane departure point. Its the airport at seletar. I was actually thinking that we're off to Changi. Well when we reached we were told that the flight will be delayed till like 5.30. Actually the flight was about 3. So well. Urhm. Yeah I swallowed some pills and dozed in the waiting room. There were other people as well, other than my relatives and my family. All waiting for the flight.
Eventually at 4 something we were asked to check in to the departure hall. There we went through usual stuff like passport checkings and stuff. Then we went waiting at the hall till the plane came. I sat with my cousin. It was quite crammed. Well I grabbed the window seat although he got there first. But I tricked him with my mp3 and in the end haha he got tricked. Well the ride wasn't that bad. And the viewing kinda made me giddy. But as we reached tioman, I could see the crystal clear waters, compared to singapore, which is far better and cleaner. Aww man can't wait!
After we reached there were usual checking in stuff. Then we took a bus to the resort we booked. Actually we booked for another suite. But my aunt made a mistake and we ended up with another suite. But it was nice though. The aircon was nice and the room was spacious enough. My aunt's family of four(My aunt, uncle, cousin tania and cousin tammy)shared one room, My family of four(My mom, dad, sister yvonne and sister janice)shared one room and the remaining me and my cousin jeremy ended up with another as planned. It is so awesome like both of us could be doing whatever we want ourselves. Haha.
We had a brief checking in and went to have dinner. By then I was getting headaches and was terribly in pain. No the restaurant is fine. Actually it's quite good with the open-out ambience. Its buffet and we had two dinners free as part of the package. But I wasn't feeling okay so I didn't eat much. After that my cousins went to the arcade near and we stayed at the open-restaurant. my mom gave me a massage and as I felt better, I went to join them. Later my parents with my aunt and my uncle joined us and we played pool.
We went back to the resort afterwards which then my strict aunt scolded my cousin when he suggested setting up the playstation and we went to set it up. He was in a bad mood since then and like began throwing stuff and went to bed straight. When I asked he said because his mom told him to. Well thats jeremy. But he shouldn't be in his mom's control each time. I mean who would like anyone to be in control of their life? Especially when they should think you're old enough.
Eventually he came to joined me playing the playstation. We had some glitches and had to restart the game several times. My family's room had some problems with the aircon so they moved over to another room 2 rooms beside my cousins' family's. We also went next door for some supper. Soon enough, we went to sleep feeling tired. Its a big day tomorrow since we'll be going snorkeling.
DAY 2
We were woken up by my aunt next door. Went to the same restaurant for free breakfast. There I ate sausages and hash browns. It was nice. Then after that around 11 plus, as the adults went to book the boat for snorkeling, we proceeded going to our rooms to change up and pack stuff. A few applys of sunblock and we went off all with our caps.
We went to the jetty where we found the person waiting for us there in the boat. Then we had a refreshing and kinda long ride to another shore where we get to try on our life jackets and snorkles. Mine were doing good whereas the others had some difficulties. Already at the beach I feel uncomfortable with the fishes as I saw some swimming in a group near the boat.
After some brief practices, we went back to our boats and headed to another place. There you could see big clams and colourful corals reefs at the bottom from the boat itself. Its deep. My uncle voluteered to go in the water first. I followed suit with my aunt and my cousins and then so on. Its creepy to see the fishes in the water with you I must say. And like we kept screaming when we were getting close to a few fishes and stuff. Man there's alot if you seen. And like I was desperately trying to keep my feet to myself so that I wouldn't touch the fishes that were swimming below me. They were all beautiful and colourful. And we even spotted some rare breeds such as the one like dory from finding nemo. But man it was scary.
Throughout, the fishes weren't like scared of us, but as I got used to it, and I try to touch them, they will swim away. The fishes were all around. As in below, on both sides and front. So it was very frightening and like you will be afraid thinking whether it bites or not. Eventually my life jacket came loose and I was all creeped out, and went up on the boat. There I saw my sister feeding the fishes. She throws a piece of bread and within seconds of some ripples of the water it will be gone. Its shows their hunger, so like even though I got my life jacket tighetened, I didn't dare to go back in the water.
Eventually we left to another island to have our lunch. I didn't eat much because all they ordered had egg and chili in it, plus stuff I don't eat. Argh then we went back on our boat and went speeding off to some locations where we can see fishes. Yeah we swam with them again and such. It became really cool in the end. I was amazed and envy the instructor though. He actually dares to feed the fishes in the water despite their frenziness of trying to get food. Well anyway he showed us how he caught fishes(he caught three for us but we let them go soon), and he too picked a sea urchin among the coral reefs at the bottom. Although he was prickled by the thorns, he didn't minded one bit and said he was used to it.
Finally we reached the final spot feeling a little seasick. It was a jetty and all of us wanted to get up on ground. At the jetty we saw already people snorkeling in the water. Also there was this big floating thing in the water where you can rest on. Its spacious and comfy, although its shaky. On the surface, I saw some fishes which I wasn't present when we went to the other locations. They were bigger and looked more threatening, but they were found to be harmless anyway. We got ourselves in the water one by one. There it was scarier, as you can see grey corals reefs at the bottom, plus sea urchins all over the place. On the floor, on the reefs, at the pillars walls, there were many. So yeah but actually we all feel this is the best place of all. Maybe it's because there were others before us, who left too before us.
Although the fishes were bigger, they were not different than the ones at the colourful coral reefs. And as we were there, some scuba divers actually were there as well, and we saw him feed fishes below us. From a distance of course; not much of us were still very comfortable swimming with fishes. Well I wasn't too and at times as I found myself drifting away I would be so desperate and frantic to get myself back to the group. It was the nicest spot and I liked it best.
Soon we went back to the resort and got ourselves cleaned. Jeremy and I both had bubble baths and they were great. Ahh I missing the hot tub. Then we rested for awhile, played some playstation before going to another restaurant near the beach to have our dinner. They saw and booked it as we got back to the resort. So yeah some of us had steamboat while some of us had bbq dinner. Then we went seperately; the kids went for billard pool back at the arcade while the adults went back to the resort.
Well we actually went back to the resort for awhile to have toilet breaks before going to the arcade cos you can't afford to waste time at there. My aunt found herself attracted to my playstation game puzzle bobble so we left her in our room as we headed to the arcade.
After a few games we went back. And it was a shock for me and jeremy as the adults were playing mahjiong in the room along with yvonnne playing the playstation. She didn't wanna go with us to the arcade. Well it was brief and we dispersed soon. My cousin and I got ahold of the playstation. Then we were called over to my aunt's room for supper. Whoa she brought a mini cooker where she cooked some sausages and luncheon meat. We had it with bread and milo and it was fantastic. Well it was also sneaked as well. They don't really allowed cooking in the rooms. So well yeah haha it was nice though.
We talked about the snorkeling and then went back to our rooms. There we played the playstation for awhile before going to sleep feeling quite tired from today's activities.
DAY 3
The third day was more boring cos we didn't meet for breakfast as a group. In the end only my aunt and Jeremy went. They came back with some bread though. Then those who didn't went for breakfast were called over to my aunt's room where she cooked some sausages and luncheon meat with additional noodles and tuna and stuff in her room. We had in the mugs in the resort since they don't have bowls in the room. Haha they were tasty. After that, my aunt and my uncle went for spa while the rest of us went to swim in the swimming pool near the first restaurant.
Soon my uncle and aunt came back from their spa and well my mom and me went back to the rooms since we weren't really in the mood to swim. There I had the whole tub to myself and it felt good. Then I about to start playing my playstation before my mom came over to my room to join me. I had to give in and we played puzzle bobble. Then soon the rest came back. Then yeah it was a boring afternoon as they got dressed and we played the playstation and did our own stuff and such.
We were called over to my aunt's room again. She was gonna cook spagette. Man she was like brought her whole kitchen here. We ate spagette for dinner. Then went back doing our stuff. In the night they went over to my aunt's room to play mahjiong and the rest of us found ourselves mingling around. Then like tammy got sick and she had this sudden fast motion syndrome which I had too a few days ago during my fever. I came to find that all the kids have had fever within this two weeks. All of us had it before. Haha its amazing. And well then Jeremy and I found nothing to do and we crapped and made up stuff that doesn't makes sense. Like eg crawling frogs don't like hanging themselves on the sky. Damn haha it was hilarious. Lame it was too.
We dispersed as usual as it got late and agreed on breakfast the next day. I played dino crisis on the playstation briefly before sleeping. The whole trip is going to end soon.
DAY 4
We got up for breakfast reluctantly. Tammy and my aunt didn't appear cos tammy's still had fever and it had rose to 39.8. Yes then we went back to our rooms where we packed and stuff. Then we went to the lobby to wait as the adults checked out.
We took some pictures and had gums and drinks. Finally we found ourselves on the way back to the airport. There we waited like we we're back at seletar and there we saw a cat and stuff. Tania was freaked out whenever it strolled near and stuff. I blasted my mp3 as I waited for the plane. Well I didn't realise my fever was long gone at the start of the trip. Well soon we were on the plane. This time it was kinda shaky and giddy. Jeremy took the window seat. Haha I'm lucky I didn't cos there were turbulence this time and the whole plane was like moving around vigorously.
We reached and went through same checking of passport and stuff. Then we bid ourselves goodbye as we all left on different taxis. We then reached home feeling quite tired and none of us felt like moving. My dad went out to buy lunch and after that we went to sleep. Well not me as I on the computer and such. Well it was around 5 and the whole house was quiet. Haha then eventually I wanted to sleep at around 8 but all of us were awake already. Well I went on a grumpy rampage and pulled my temper. Well serve myself right. We had steamboat at the coffee shop at the community center and after that we went home and unpacked and stuff. I went to sleep first though.
LOL the whole trip was great. I am missing it utterly. And damn I haven't finished my hols homework. HAHA. Well crap. And oops I forgot there's Fifa. BRAZIL VS AUSTRALIA NOW. I'm putting my chances on Brazil. Haha Qien see who win okay?
Bleah. Days are passing fast.
