Tioman Getaway!!!
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
currently trying to resize pics and then update to fb..later will try to edit the videos cos it is my first time editing videos..
yea back from sunny island tioman on sun..went tioman from 22-24 May..basically did snorkeling, jungle trekking, alot of eating and swimming..Tioman is really a great place for a short getaway from sg..Furthermore its quite near to sg, we reach there in about 4-5hrs. We left golden mile at about 7+am then reach there about 2.20pm..
The deep blue sea, sea breeze, slow tempo of life, enviroment, atmosphere really make a good and relaxing holiday..I shall go there again in the near future to try snorkeling in other island or maybe diving in the deep blue sea with alot of fishes and coral reef..And also to stay in other village and have a taste of different lifestyle in Tioman Island.
I really think that beach getaway is way better then going holiday in the cities area..The sea breeze will make ur stress go away, lets down every burden and enjoys fully over there. Tioman is a duty free island so everything is like so cheap..Beer & alcohol is almost the same as airport prices..One Hoeggarden bottle is like RM6.60 only..
We didnt spend alot of money there as daily breakfast & dinner and 1 lunch were provided..Cheap & fun island..We got alot of funny stuffs there like guanhui fell down on the boat when we were at Reggis Island Snorkeling, yj bought a bear to give to mf cos the bear name is ChiChi Chan..We thought the pics we took in the night were "Something" but then its just dust particles on the cams or maybe foreign orbs..And also one guy who walk around with the pikachu towel..
We dun have enough time to go other island to snorkel as we only have 3d2n..We didnt have the time to visit the waterfall in other village and also finish the jungle trekking to visit the waterfall as night was falling and the jungle turning dark..We also didnt go to other island for excursion..
But one thing that is not very logical that happened when we checked in to our room..YJ Standard Room is bigger than our Superior Room where we pay more for the superior room..We paid 196 for superior room when they paid 170 for standard room both including snorkeling and meal charges.. Standard room had 4 beds, 2 singles and 1 queen bed whereas our have 1 queen bed and 1 sofa bed.. Everything else was the same except the tv is bigger but then it was showing 1 channel at a certain timing..Ours is on the 2 storey where we had to climb the stairs..So unfair sia..And somemore their room has better views like fish pond and all the chalets facing towards the fish pond..
