Perhentian...

7+ hours of bus ride + 3 hours of relaxing + 45 minutes of Speedboat ride = Pulau Besar Perhentian

Our bus left at 10:30 pm sharp and lead us on a hideously bumpy ride. Though there were several spot checks by policemen, we sailed smoothly past ALL of them. You must be thinking, weren't the bus driver speeding? Of course he did, but lets spare the details behind the scenes so as to support our 50th anniversary of Merdeka. Yeah.. We're only Malaysians =]

The night-ride was filled with laughters as a result from lame and failed ghost stories told by Fong Wen. You see, when you you're listening to a ghost story, you'd expect people to scream for their lives telling the teller to STOP. That was not the case for FW, as her stories ended like "the sound you heard was from my dad's fart!" uhuh

or rather,

"There was this passenger in the taxi who was wearing very dirty looking clothes. But after a while, the taxi driver noticed that he's clothes had been cleaned. The taxi driver was very anxious over his encounter as previously there was a stench, but now its only fresh sweet smelling frangipani. So the driver asked the passenger what had happened to him? Was he using somekind of black magic?"

Then FW stopped the story to tell us about how she would face some consequences if she told us the secret of behind what had happened to him. Cliche-d i know, but we continued to bug her about it and finally she gave us the answer.

"USE FAB "

A moment of silence. DOT DOT DOT was on everyones' minds. Now I see you rolling your eyes!

However, she's definitely one hell of a joker who kept the bus ride alive of course. Great one FW! At 4 am, we stopped around Gua Tempurung for food.

Another 4 hours of bus ride ended with panda eyes for all of us. We hardly slept due to those chatty voices from EVERYONE.

At 0530 hours, we were stranded at Terengganu as our speedboat would only arrive at 0830. The long-wait was not that painstaking afterall as we caught a glimpse of sunrise. Then, came the speedboat ride to the big island which was awesome!

I won't go into details of the happenings on all 4 days, but i'll share the gist with you.

Activities
1> Typical aimless volleyball games by us rookies whereby pain+direction was the failing-factor.
2> Snorkelling (RM35/pax) at 4 major sites - the coral reeves, giant turtles, sharks, colder water coral reeves, and final stop was at a freezing fresh water stream.
3> Jungle Trekking cum island hopping by foot. Island hopping was not intended, but at the end of the trek, we were at another side of the island. So we hopped around 4 beaches, 2 more treks and 2 staircases, and one dip into the sea (it was high tide, so the stairs were halfway covered in sea water).
4> BBQ Party organised by Flora Bay Resort..
5> Kayaking + snorkelling on our own
6> Team building games...
7> Joanne's infamous birthday celebration.. you'll know why soon. READ ON!


FLORA BAY RESORT, Perhentian - "The scorching sunlight was quickly shadowed by gloomy clouds; wind hit hard against coconut trees depicting its mood swings. Soon after, the unforgiving whether took a toll on the beach by wiping out the white sand with rain water, closing every possible crab hole. The devillish vampires too were caught red handed, leaving only a small number of them cheating death. These mosquitoes were huge; i'm guessing it needs trice as much blood as the ones here. They were not so lucky afterall as next they had to battle against the fumes released by BBQ. It was Friday the 13th, the night of the living 'blithe procastinator' JOANNE TAN! "

Extracted from The Hanky Minute


Our fellow brilliant classmate Yuhhui came up with the impossible dare for her Birthday.

1. To enquire about condoms at the reception. DURATION: 5 minutes of conversation.

Storyline :

Girl: Bang, sini ada condom tak? *looks at him hornily*
Guy: er, ada! Ada beberapa jenis - untuk malam, untuk pagi, untuk... *continues to smoke*
Girl: Boleh tunjuk ar? *interrupting his sentence*
Guy: Er perlu ke? *shy face*
Girl: MESTILAH! * continues stare*

Guy shyly picks up 3 condom boxes, and left it on the table. While his left hand continues to bring the cigarette to mouth, only this time, at a faster pace. He was actually blushing.

Girl: Berapa satu kotak?
Guy: RM7.80 sekotak.
Girl: WAH, mahalnyer, KL baru RM5 lebih.
Guy: *stares at her, shocked*
Girl: Eh bang, mana lebih bagus?
Guy: Tak tau lah, I tak guna pun. *looks down, giggling to himself *
Girl: Bang mana tak guna? Mesti guna punya... *speaking with persuasion*
Guy: . . . *speechless*

You should have seen the look on his face. At this point, everyone was already chocking themselves with their own laughters. Thank God Yuhhui indicated the time-out sign.

2. To give a flying kiss to a caucasian at the resort.

Storyline :

Girl stares at this young lad with 6 packs. He was eating on the opposite table, while girl just sat and looked at him for a long long time. The moment came when he finally looked up to take a peek at who's watching him. Girl immediately took chances. First, she gave him a seductive-one-eye-lashed wink. He got so shy. He quickly looked down.

Then another chance came and this time, she gave him a flying kiss. He immediately blushed. It was RED as blood! I wonder what his parents might think about her. They must be thinking, WOW! Malaysia's got young hookers who's interested in my 15 year old son! Yes, he is very young. HAHAHAHA

We all had a great laugh.

3. Kiss a guy on his cheeks.

THis one very common la...so nothing special

4. Wear her red panties outside her pants like superman, and knock on every chalet door to say hello.

THis was going to be the best dare ever. Imagine her knocking on to that young lad's door, this time with red panties. LOL. Before this, they wanted her to sing at every chalet the birthday song dedicating it to herself...LOL.

Unfortunately, it was kinda late already, so this dare was eliminated.

THis friend of mine really had so much guts to do all these; she's really funny and spontaneous as well.

*TO BE CONTINUED. Up Next, 'the three man cell' and pictures
