tioman trip

we went to tioman a week after school holidays. started the day at 4am and reached Mersing around 9 am. we were stuck at the jetty for quite some time and finally reached tioman at 2pm.

 sampai aje the kids sibuk tanya bila boleh mandi laut, so after eating our lunch packed from the stall near the  jetty, rest for awhile and straight to the beach.

 pure bliss...this photo was taken by DH and was featured in a camera magazine (not sure which one). 

the next morning, time to go snorkelling, waiting for our boat

 in our boat, getting ready, there are six of us in the boat, including a young couple

 dah sampai, ready to go

 at one of the stops, the kids favourite game at the beach

 another snorkeling place, irfan said, 'ehh, irfan nampak ikan pompuan!" Ikan pompuan? iyaa... mulut dia kaler pink...Hmmm ok, ni mesti penangan nemo ni. this is the first snorkelling experience for irfan and i'm glad that he enjoyed it.

where we stayed

balik time... during this time everybody was ok. one and a half hour after that all of us was feeling queasy. the sea was rough and there were 3 passengers vomitted in our level. by the time the 3rd passenger vomitted i practically have to plug my ears to lessen the urge to vomit. Alhamdulillah managed to control it walaupun kepala pening. we reached mersing at 6.00pm and by 6.30pm we were on our way back. Overall it was an enjoyable holiday.
