Bad luck – part I

090507- Went to kuantan for a movie with my 7 other frens. We left home at 7.30. Reached kuantan at 9. Movie ends around 11.30. And reached home again at around 1.30am. It was quite tiring but it worth since u get to spend ur time with frens and treat ur self to a good movie.
I decided to read a little until my eyes get really sleepy. It was pouring really heavily outside. Suddenly I saw water came pouring down from the wall of my room. I got panicked and quickly jump out of my bed to rescue everything that is in contact with the floor. While I was busy ferrying my stuff from room to the living hall, the situation worsen. By now, rain water came pouring down from the ceiling. And 3 minutes after that, electricity was out. Hysterically I woke up the rest of my housemates. They help to clear my room. We stood in the darkness and feet soaked in the water for the next 30 minutes trying to figure out what to do next and who to call. To our dismay, the maintenance guy told us that it is impossible for them to repair the roof in the heavy rain, leaving alone fixing the electricity up. That leaves us no choice but to get back to sleep. At 4am, I slept in the master bedroom which was least affected, while stressing my self out on all the cleaning work dat I have to do to my room… on the brighter note, at least my room was not as bad as Ita’s. Since she was on outstation, all her electrical appliances (TV, Hi-fi, radio, dvd player, astro decoder, etc) got soak in the rain water…. Poor her!

Bad luck – part 2

130507-Left KL around 10pm with ita and moon. Ita drove her car. When we reached Kuantan at around 12.30pm, she got so sleepy that she asked me to take turn to drive. So I did. I hate to recall the incident, but to save myself from recalling every detail of the unfortunate incidents; I’ll cut the long story short. I hit the plastic divider (thank God it was plastic!) on the road… two of them! I pulled the car over to the side of the road to inspect the damaged. The registration plate gone, and there’s a small dent on the front boot. Great! Just great! Just what I needed right now!

Destination - Perhentian Island, Terengganu, 270407

My new frens... we just got out from water after snorkeling. The boat man took us to 5 spots for snorkeling. Corals points, shark points, turtle points, and the last one I’m not sure what it is since I decided to stay on the boat.. Sea sick =) There are a total of 18 people in my group, only I manage to spot the shark… hahaha. The experience was priceless! The corals was beautiful.. lots and lots of colors. So do the fishes. I saw hundreds of exotic fishes with different colors. Nemo pun ada… haha. Cute!

And did I mention how lovely the sea water was? It was cold during the day and warm during the night. the water was sparkling, with the bluish and greenish in color and crystal clear. You can just look down from the boat to be able to see the corals and even fishes swimming. It was just like a huge, borderless swimming pool. I always tot dat I will have to save money so dat one day Im able to swim in those lovely, warm, clear water like the one dat I saw in the discovery channel. Places far, far away like bora-bora or miami, or australia. And those white sandy beach. It was as if someone had spread "tepung gandum" throughout the beach area. It was white, and soft... I like =D

No words can describe the experience. Its a must visit island. And I just got to find out from a fren that perhentian was ranked 6th on the most beautiful beaches on this planet! Enuf reason to put Perhentian as your next vacation destination! hehehe...

View from the restaurant... breath-taking!! we spent hours and hours here. Enjoying a hot cup of coffee, reading book, playing cards, listening to the slow song, or simply doing nothing, just gazing to the crystal clear water... time is all that we have here.

A few days spent in Kuantan

holiday villa cherating ~ say cheese!


~ Jangan Pandang Belakang

~ giler stressss.....

Phew... finally back in the office. I was in Kuantan for the last 6 days. I had 2 events running simultaneously. One in kuantan town it self, and the other one was in cherating. I’m the organizer for both events.

My time was filled with lots of work and driving (in between cherating and kuantan). I had fun tho. Especially during our free time where we get to play beach volley ball and relax at the beach area.

My housemate, sharn and ita came down to kuantan on Friday and Saturday. They took advantage to do their shopping and spend their weekends in kuantan since they get to spend the night in my room at Hyatt for free =) so the three of us cramp our self on the king bed together. On Friday night, joint by another 5 frens of ours, we had our dinner in Tanjung Lumpur. It was superb. The seafood was fresh and the price was reasonable. Later we watched the midnight movie “Jangan pandang belakang”. I was scared to the spine as the movie about to begin. I really do not fancy horror movie. But farih and poji made fun of each and every scene in the movie, so it turns out to be funny instead.

Owh.. Somebody committed suicide in one of the hotel room on my second night in Hyatt. That’s scary.. But it’s on the other wing of the hotel. In a way I feel “lega” a bit.

I lost my car key on the third day. I spent 3 hours looking for it. Ita and sharn turned the room upside down, in the hope to locate my key. I went to the parking lot to make sure that my car is still there and I told the parking attendant to report should he see anyone other then myself driving the car out since I just lost my key. On my way back to the room in order to join ita and sharn on their mission, I spoke to one of the hotel worker. He told me that on of his colleague found a car key last night in the lobby area, and he did not pass them to the front office and his night shift is over 2 hours ago. So I get him to call the guy and to cut the long story short, I got my key back.. Phew!

I’m in the office right now. Settling a few work, reading a few mails. I’m going back to kuantan 2morow. Will be there until Thursday and I’m leaving for my “pulau” vacation on Friday. Adios!
