err... wow what happened to the days, like express-train lah. it's been a lovely week!

was in pulau tioman, sun-tue. apart from the tiring travelling (car, boat), it's one great place. highlight of the trip was my day of snorkelling. phew wow!!! never before have i swum alongside so many fish. all colours, sizes, shapes. and the coral formations - all kinds too! a little scary cos they do look intimidating... can't step on em, right, cos they cut the feet? i got a teeny-weeny cut on my thigh, god knows from where, probably from the boat itself. was wondering if the lil blood would attract any sharks... har har!!! mmm...

no doubt i'm a lot darker now. oh, i'm gonna go snorkelling every coupla months from now. any good places on the west coast? lemme know ok. as far as i know, the west coast waters are crap. perhaps further away, like Pangkor or Langkawi. one more thing - i hate big resorts! Berjaya Tioman... uurrggghhh.... dinners cost RM49. and to eat at the warung - to get there, we gotta pay for transport, not cheap cos we kena tourist prices all the way... ouch. methinks i'll go to Pangkor next, about 3 hours' drive away. it's been a long time, and it does have its own special charm. cheap accommodation and food, for one. don't know about now cos it's been perhaps ten years since.

but of course after all that fun in the sun, the troubles of reality creeps up and smashes itself onto our soft cushy faces, head-on, steamrolling whatever lingering happy-feelings we had. back to work, bay-beh's. the usual banking mess-ups, work-related chaos, etc. jeez. think i'll run a cheapo resort after this.

taaaa
