i'm back from pangkor =) pangkor was great. absolutely fantabulous. well, one of the main reasons why it's so great is probably because i'm with ryan + my bitches (KC, rachel, virgo & cylee) and that makes it even better. i'm at home right now and i swear, i'm missing the wonderful moments so bad. not to mention i miss ryan too. he's back in T.I, again. yeah, so..pangkor is a romantic island. beautiful and cozy i would say. the sound of the wave is still resounding in my ears till this day. And now i'm back home..ryan is not around..and the torture is unbearable.
we began our journey on the 27th by driving over to ryan's place in teluk intan at 5.30am and parked the cars there. i know it's damn friggin' early. we used 2 cars and as usual, ryan and KC drove all the way there for 2 hours, and the girls suffered lazed for 2 hours ;p we had breakfast and took the direct bus at 8.30am to the bus station in lumut. the journey is about 1 hour - 1 hour 15 minutes. No great scenery or view along the way because it's a highway but what the heck, i was damn sleepy and ryan was beside me so there's nothing more that i want. that's even more than enough ;)
lumut bus station is situated just right beside the jetty so it's not hard to find the place to get a ferry. the ferry trip costs about RM5.00 per person and the trip is about 30 minutes. the sight of the open sea is really tempting. from lumut, the ferry will stop at 2 ports with the last port being the place which common tourist will disembark. as soon as we reached the 2nd port, we went looking for a taxi (mini pink vans! actually) to bring us to our chalet. that ride costs RM15.00 for the 6 of us. it's about a 10 minutes ride. i consider them cheap actually. we stayed in Palma Beach Resort in Teluk Nipah which is a popular spot for beach lovers like me with many chalets and resorts especially for the budget travelers. our chalet rate was RM95.00 nett per room per night. cheap rate as well. urm, nope. it's RM90.00 nett actually. we bargained! yes, you can actually bargain. heh. ryan and i took 1 room. the rest of them took the other. KC got to sleep with the girls. lucky idiot. but, useless. he's _ _ _ _ _ _ _. heh heh heh.
let me summarize my 3 days 2 nights trip there.
day 1
- checked in at 12pm and took a rest.
- off we go to the beach in the afternoon when it's so freakin' hot! i'm damn
black tan now. - took a nice cold bath and went for a brief walk along the street to look for something to eat for dinner.
- found a restaurant which serves chinese seafood. as for the price, it's like the normal price around m'sia. so, nothing to worry about.
- at night, HAHAHAHA. BOOZEEEEEEEEE! the wholee nighttt. drink drank drunk drink drank drunk. wonderful.
- we played poker as well. our rules : WHO WIN, WHO DRINK. not the usual WHO LOSE, WHO DRINK okay. cause it's like, we bought limited amount of liquor on purpose. so everyone wanna win. because they're dying to drink! my friends are all hardcore drinkers. believe me. i don't know if you get what i was trying to say but mann, it was fun. poor ryan.
day 2
- bloody woke up at 8 something in the morning because of that donkee beside me. we know you slept the earliest o-kay. but that doesn't mean you need to wake everyone up at that time.
- re-sleep back again from 9 something till 12 something.
- getting all prepared to hunt for our lunch. ended up eating in a western food restaurant just right outside our chalet.
- went for island hopping and snorkelling in the afternoon till evening. FUUUUNNNN and CHEAPPPPP. island hopping at RM10.00 per person which includes
screaming in the boat and roaming around the other small islands. snorkelling at RM10.00 per person as well. life jacket and that piece of eyewear provided. the snorkeling experience there was heaven. i kinda like fell in love with it. the view is gorgeous. the colourful fishes just put me in a trance spell. i had a few pieces of bread and it's magnificent to see the fishes taking a bite of the bread I thrown. - darn tired. took a bath and a rest.
- at night, BOOOOOOOOZEEE again. hahaha. but we do not need to go and hunt for food that night which is a good thing. because we had BBQ! another darn cheap deal. RM150 for 6 person. food (chicken, fish, squid, clam) and carbonated drinks provided. plates and cutleries provided. tables and chairs provided. nice, eh? they even barbequed and serve the food for us. but you know what's the best thing? it's by the beach! weee.
day 3
- woke up earlier. packed up and
is not ready to go home. - repeat the same transporting routine. mini pink van ---> ferry ---> bus ---> car ---> home. how tiring.
we left pangkor on the 29th. it's sad to be leaving actually. i love that place. pangkor have all the things we needed for a nice beach vacation. boat ride, snorkelling, fishing, kayaking, sun tanning et cetera. i don't know if i'll ever go to pangkor again, but now that i've experienced it, i know that pangkor is can be considered as a nice dream getaway. *sigh* it's such an unforgettable experience. get your ass to pangkor people!
reminder : never try eating bbq-ed food with liquor + ciggie. i now have sexy voice. fuck, my sorethroat is killing me. but it's all worth it ;)
pictures coming up next. i'm tired already. good day everyone.
