Greatest Tioman Blog Ever (Day-2)

DAY 2
Got up to a mild drizzle outside. The drizzle would soon stop and the sun would shine.. hehe.. we decided to be a little kiamsiap and have our own home made bfast…


After bfast, time to play! Haha.. we hit the beach, and moon was clearly on a mission to get her tan evened out! So, I just kinda chilled with the sea on my own.. hahaha.. sounds sad? No way! It was Fun Fun Fun!! Haha.. and I have a good time snapping pics of Gwai Lou all the way..

That’s another thing… the whole place doesn’t seem Malaysian.. the majority of the guests are either gwai lou from the west, Europe, Aussie, or from Japan (we saw like 8 different couples/families of Jap there) a few Koreans and Chinese nationals… the workforce there is more like from the Philippines or Indonesia…. They’ve all got some slang going on… except for the odd 1 or 2…

Around 2 we decide to rent their bicycles and venture out to Kampung tekek to check out the place. Bicycles go by the hour (RM15 per bike per hour). Be forewarned, there is a little hill to go through between the resort & kampong tekek, so its not quite the breezy cycling only… but after the hill, the rest of the place is quite flat. We went around, saw at least 6 duty free shops, got some little souvenirs for myself...cycled to the airport, u turned, and finally ended up having lunch at the only Chinese restaurant in sight… Sarang. We were the only people having lunch at 4pm, so it was a little quiet at the restaurant. But next to the place, was a burger shop, with this kid (probably 13-14yrs old?) singing his heart out to malay hits! I guess Karaoke must be big there! Hahaha.. before we knew it, he was joined by 2 other frenz, and the karaoke session expanded! HAhaha..a little annoying, but acceptable lah…
As my wife and her family pointed out, Pak Lah was supporting me all the way in the background.. hehehe...

Oh.. did you notice anything wrong with the above pic??? Like... SPCIL?? and how about a real local "cis!" burger?? haha
Headed back to the hotel by 5.30, but was only charged for 2 hours bicycle rent. So happy… hehe.. .considering we returned the bikes like 10 minutes before the clock hit 3 hours.. haha…

On the way back to the room, we noticed a few monkeys just casually walking around… realy damn lepak man.. they walk damn slumberly while the rest of the human world revolves around them…hahaha….

Since it was only 6, we decided to still have a go at the pool, (cause I initially wanted to chill at the jacuzzi.. ) so we hit the pool and had a drink there as well. Nothing special other than tons of kids… but after the pool, then we saw…. We saw such a beautiful sunset it was impossible to ignore..here’s why…
Oh, thats me btw.. yes yes.. i know.. my posture s*cks.... Oh, this picture is just classic... Me and Moon tag teamed to take this picture of some nutcase, doing a mask on the beach???Weirdo....

That night we decide to have ala carte meals at the Nelayan (local cuisine n buffet)… nothing special about the food, but great band! The band is so good… well rehersed, and good selection, and can even sing Japanese Song (Albeit, only 1.. haha)… The band also does a session at the sunken pool bar, but we never got to be there when they were performing at the pool…

That night, I intended to surprise Moon with a complimentary cake from Berjaya. But couldn’t cause they never sent it until I had to call .. =( Mission fail.. haha…
Anyway the cake was cute, 250gm… and to fast forward a little, we ate the cake the next night, but it was really quite a nice cake… soft inside, sweet and not too sweet… just now… we finished it even though we already had the meal of a king earlier that night. Story later…
