Wow... I didn't post this up soon enough... Okay, hopefully I still remember the 'millions and millions of things' which happened during our trip to Pangkor... let me see...
This trip to Pangkor have been talked about for a few weeks prior to it. But for me... you know la... not really in the mood at that time since there's this final exam thing going on...The trip was a memorable one to be really REALLY honest, especially for me, whose last 'REAL trip' was with my classmates almost three years back with my Form Five classmates in Langkawi. No trip after STPM. Anyway...Day 1The 14 of us first gathered at the McD restaurant at Petaling Street before we made our way to Puduraya. By the way, this is the first time I have been to Puduraya... probably because it was at night, and so there weren't many people at the bus terminal... But my view of Puduraya all along has been that of a very crowded, dark one... Guess you really need to be there in order to experience it for yourself the environment...Okay okay, should not be talking to much about this... Where am I?...Oh yeah.. we took off from Puduraya almost exactly on time... 11.59pm. By the time we reached Lumut it was almost 3am in the morning. Some of us went to the restaurant which was still open to customers, while the rest of us just sat at some 'dataran' near the shore and played 'dai-dee'... for me I just watched them playing coz not clear how to play after not playing for so long... (but later I played at night and I won on my first game...haha=) )We waited and boarded the first ship to Pangkor. Next we went to our hotel by two vans, which was located next to the beach at the other side of the island. It was still very early at that time, I think it was about eight or nine something... a few of us took a nap almost immediately after they settled down their things.We settled our elective selection, surpisingly, here in Pangkor in our room 0.0 (I just followed what the others chose... obviously...)We headed back to the Pekan Pulau Pangkor (PPP) for lunch. I had chicken rice btw. (Still UTAR's Chicken Rice is the best... afforable too...) Walked around PPP and I was wrong to think that it is some town exclusively for the nelayan community and the visitors... There ARE people who live there and stayed there for years... I wonder why they want to exclude themselves in this lonely little island out of nowhere... Don't know for others but for me I was surprised to see internet cafes and banks and stuff like that here... no traffic lights here though...Later that day played a bit in the water. Dinner was at an open air restaurant. After the dinner the few of us who sit inside the van was taken for a 'memorable' ride up and down the hills of Pangkor... closing the car lights while driving... I for one was excited all the way... thankfully we had a skillful driver... haha... will try it the next time if I ever will go there again...Played cards together in our room later that night. I think I was wrong during my first time as the 'MC'... got to remember so many things and I got messed up =( I think a few of you knew about that...At night when everyone was about to sleep a few of us went out by van for 'yam-cha' at a shop... It was a very quiet and breezy area, nice place for 'yam-cha' but I didn't try to food though... I ate a lot before that during dinner. And then when we went back we all were so tired that we just fell asleep right away once we laid our heads on our bed..Day 2The fourteen of us went for a boat trip, discovering the various places and islands around Pangkor Island. Went for snockelling and banana boat (it wasn't fun at all when you don't have your glasses on... for me my glasses was like 4.50 for one side and 5.25 for another... that's really bad already...) Had lunch, and next was a trip to some temple...I wasn't sure what did the others do after that, but I followed a few of them for a cycling trip all the way from one island to another... Walaoe... really tiring. Btw, it's RM2 for one hour, and RM6 for 24 hours (Strange eh? Can still get it back the day after.. also, they did not charge like 'wang pendahuluan'... don't they get scared that the bicycles will at the end of the day, be unreturned?)... I don't know about the others, but a guy like me who has not been on a bicycle for like almost centuries... I actually felt a bit of pain after the whole journey.. But I woke up the next day feeling ok...Oh yeah... during the trip the captain of our boat recommended/suggested that we try one of the restaurants by the beach... which we later did that night. I am not really sure how the workers there felt when they saw us arriving at their restaurants to have a meal there... I mean, 14 of us young adults... arriving as such a big group at a place where only romantic couples and visitors from overseas have their meals... Everyone turned their heads and looked at us as we 'swarmed' the place... haha....=) And not just that... we were quite noisy, in fact, really noisy actually, at least for our table...Later that night went out for 'yam cha' again at a food stall near our house... wonder whether these guys really do go out so often during normal uni days for yam cha... can't do this on a regular basis la...Day 3It was the last day already... felt weird coz I really don't wanna go back so early but then felt like we almost toured the whole island already? Maybe I was wrong... But anyway we had brunch (no breakfast or lunch)... and boarded the 12pm ferry back to mainland. Reached mainland half an hour later, and then boarded the bus back to Kotaraya.All in all, I had a great and memorable trip. Sure can't wait for our next one during our next semester break...=)
