Awesome Trip - Perhentian Island (Day 1)


It was an awesome holiday indeed.

Early morning took MAS flight to Kota Bharu with Stephen, Hui & Marc. Thanks to Rox for sending me & Stephen to KLIA in the early morning at about 5am. Really appreciate it. :D

Had McD breakfast in KLIA while waiting for our flight. Someone is so excited, cos it was his first time taking a flight. Oh well, he's not panic or what, he's actually enjoying it alot. Hehehe ...

Syiok sendiri (SS) taking photos in the plane, haha, it was a good experience. I've never took photos in plane before as I thought that we have to off our electronic devices all the time until we reach our destination. Aiyak, kena tipu already... O.o'''

Both of us with sleepy look in the plane



Hui & Marc looking cheerful :)

View from the flight- beautiful ~


Reached our destination, Kota Bharu Airport, and met up with Alex & Hui's friends - Nywern, Pauline & Yun Kong. Feel so comfortable meeting up with them, as they are friendly and nice fellas! We then took 2 taxis to our jetty, and was being told that it took about an hour to reach there. Woahh !~~ The taxi fare is not that expensive as we thought, about RM 80 per cab only for an hour of journey.

Me and Hui was then SS-ing in the cab. LOL. That was because both of us were a little bored, and our conversation never stop. Hehe, I hope it don't irritate the cab driver? :p

Finally, after an hour of cab ride, we reached the agency's rest area, and then we were asked to walk to the jetty about 5 mins walk. Although it is under the hot sun, but we enjoyed the walk. It was a relaxing one as all of us are excited! Was not really close to the new friends at that time, so we do not talk much.

Get into the boat to our destination - Perhentian Island. Of course we don't miss the chance taking photos as well. Although the ride is bumpy and not that stable, but we really enjoyed it and loads of photos taken as well.


Messy Hair , sobz

Hmmm photos of others are all in Nywern's & Marc's camera (to be update).

Finally, after about half an hour of boat ride, we reached our destination. Woah! Perhentian (Small Island) is so so beautiful & clean.

Look at this, the water is so clear



I can say Perhentian is so much better than Redang. It is much more cleaner, and the water is even more clearer. No regrets at all! No wonder foreigners prefer to come here for their holidays.

The gals ~ coincidently 4 of us wore white top!

Hui & Me with nice view ~


Gorgeous! :D

We all were excited, and we were brought to a place to rest a while, while waiting for check-in to our rooms. We were served with watermelon juices and the person-in-charge briefed us for this 3 days of our trip in Bubu Long Island Resort ~

I was being told by someone, saying that Bubu Long Island Resort is the most fun and also beautiful side in Perhentian. It was actually quite expensive, however, we were lucky enough to get the package cheap in Matta Fair! It is a good place to get cheap and budgeted trips from there!

We were then checked-in to our rooms and the room is really not bad. It is simple, and the feel is comfortable. The toilet looks luxurious - clean and spacious. Recommended for those are planning for a trip to Perhentian, try out Bubu Long Island Resort.

The 8 of us ~ welcome to Perhentian!~

We had our lunch, and it was a good one. Not that bad as we thought. After that, we get to know the guider, Ah E, a very nice fella, he give us guidance and help alot. He brought us for snorkelling nearby as it was the first day only. The people from Bubu Island Resort are all nice fellas and very friendly and helpful as well. This one gives additional point to this resort.


This is mr nice fella Ah E!

Weee ~ it was tiring after snorkelling, but it was really fun i can say with these ppl[Hui, Marc, Nywern, YunKong, Pauline, Alex & Stephen]. They are very fun and interesting people with loads of jokes and different kinda of opinions and they have fun things to do as well. :D

We after that go on the beach and of cos ...beach volleyball !~ Although we are not that pro, but we enjoy servicing the ball. LOL. A few friendly foreigners came and join us in the game and guess what, we are a little mempersiasuikan, as they are too prooo! Hmm.. i think they are from Switzerland if i m not mistaken.

The guider, Ah E, came and ask us whether we want to watch sunset. We agreed and then there we go to the other side of the island, going through all the bushes and something like forest place. It takes about 20 mins walk to there.

We took photos while waiting for the sun to come down .. with the beautiful scenery there, photos is a must!

What is this Nywern trying to do to YunKong? :p


Cool? Happy? Surprised? Weird? look

The sun finally set and wow ~ its beautiful man ~


Romantic ~~ ^^


Love this one ~ don't jealous ya :p



The sceneries from there is great too! Thanks to AH E, our new fren for bringing us there and experienced this. Appreciate it alot! I really surprised that people in Perhentian are so friendly and they are true ppl without any intention or anything. This good thing reminds me of something bad almost happened to me and my friends way back in year 2005 in Redang Island, whereby few guys from there help us out and chit chat with us and also guide us, however, their true face appear, whereby there's one night, while my friends and I were walking to the other side of the island - Laguna resort, whereby there's a club there, and we wanna take a look at that place. Out of sudden, a few guys , the one who talk to us before this, followed us from behind and even stalking us in the club.

We were really worried and scared as there are only 4 of us at that time ( a guy and 3 gals), and they are bunch of them there. I do not know what will actually happen to 4 of us. Gosh! But lucily, I bumped into my secondary school mate there and she helps us to get out from the club. Phew ! Really thank her alot ~ :D

ehem.. back to perhentian story, after watching sunset, we then walk back to our resort. Took a bath and then zoom for our BBQ Dinner! *hungry*

After dinner, me, stephen and alex goes for mahjong activity, it is fun looking at Stephen playing mahjong cos he do not know how to play mahjong. Aiyo ~ :p ..but he's cute ..hahahhaa... The others went and tidur in the resort as they were all tired, alamak ! Ah E then told us that there's a fire show tonight at the beach at about 10pm. So then, I went and woke the rest up and pull them to watch this, where can come and sleep here so early one? heheh ~

The fire show started, and its actually performed by the staff there. It is interesting and thanks to them! *claps*

Nywern woke up halfway during the show is going on, and she's such a daring girl I can say, she went and try out to perform the fire show as well! Of course she's daring, she's a forensic nurse.. *thumbs up for your* I'm proud of you!

Then we went for a drink nearby, sitting on the sand and drink with the buddies and Ah E. He told us loads of interesting stories. Thanks for sharing! Walked back to the resort and it is late night, and all of us are tired, easily dozzed off.
