Winzzy's World Of Thoughts

First of all, am really glad to be able to travel so far abroad to explore Tioman in real life. As it was my first time travelling abroad, i was super geared up for it and can’t wait to really go over there to take a look.

To be able to go Tioman is really like a dream come true to me, cos i only saw those beautiful and magnificent pictures but nv get to explore it in reality. And this time, i finally managed to have “been that, done that”.. im really ecstatic.

Wad i wud say abt Tioman is.. it is really a beautiful island with its mesmerizing scenery and crystal clear waters. Its just like a romantic getaway. Haha.

Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, i really feel stress-free and the life there is really simple yet rewarding. Unlike the busy and hectic pace in the modern society. This is really like a kampung life, slow and simple and absolutely relaxed pace of life.

Talking abt the food, it is really superb! Like the pineapple rice.. its so different from SG’s cos they got add some cheddar above and cooked it so deliciously that i simply loved it! Next, the Ramly Burger there is nice too.. their patty is divided into two slices and the chilli there is not that HOT too.. so its just nice for me. And and, the BBQ was nice too!!

Oya, actually during the time where we ate the BBQ, there was this annoying cat who keeps mewing non stop and lurking beside me.. as it saw the STINGRAY that we were eating.. there was even once it tried to climb up the seat but my fren shoo it away.. so annoying and irritating until i can’t eat the stingray in peace.. after we finished it.. then it move away and finally i can eat in peace..whew.

The night scene was lovely too. With many stars twinkling in the sky.. its just so magnificent and fantastic sight to watch!!

To sum everything up, my stay in Tioman was really great.. a great place to relax and cast all ur worries aside.

Below is a video of the 3D2N i have spent in Tioman.. so sit back, relax and enjoy!!

P/S: Pls wait for it to load.. a little patience wont kill alright? =D

Finally, the long-awaited post is here!! Lo and behold, its the final and last day of my itinerary in Tioman Island. Without further ado, lets begin…

Woke up at 430am just to catch the sunrise, but the sky was still pitch dark by then.. so waited till 5+ but due to some delay, only managed to get out by 6+. By then, the sky was a bit bright already. I was looking all over for the sun.. but.. to my dismay, it wasn’t facing our direction!! Aww.. anyways, still managed to capture some sunrise shots below..

What’s tat white thingy hanging over there? :XFirst glow of the sunlight!Radiant rays of the sun..lovely!Say hello to the BLUE BLUE sky!See the orange-reddish clouds? So Cool!Crystal clear water!!GOOD MORNING Tioman!!

After watching the sunrise, it was abt 7am, just nice to have breakfast! What a spread! Delicious…

And, not forgetting…

The Tasty Omelette made by one of the cooks there.. super nice and delicious!!

Tasty omelette!!

I could eat like 2-3 slices of that man.. its just so NICE! <3

After the hearty breakfast, our next destination…

“Rocky Island”

Rocky Island is the name i give to that island, as its full of rocks and getting there is only accessible during the low tide periods in the early mornings. Therefore, we were able to cross. See how far the distance is! Its really un-crossable during high tides!

Spotted at the beach…A (dead) coral but with living colours! This is wad i call the “disappearing land”, cos u can only see it visibly during low tide in the early mornings, as it will be totally submerged under water during high tide.The sun is scorching bright that i can’t open my eyes!We’re approaching the island!Smiles of anticipation and elatedness!No no, i wasn’t sleeping! >.<Lots of sea-anemones!!Looks like some lightning sparks!

At last, we reached the island. First thing to do was…

TO CARVE OUT MY NAME ON THE EXTREMELY SOFT SAND!! =D

Look who’s here??Tada.. its Yours Sincerely!Rocks..and more rocks!!See the chinese character (Shui) over there? It means an abundance of water!This looks like a volcano tat hasn’t “erupted” yetDifferent rock formations

And now, its time for me to be a model and take some nice professional shots!

I love this pose!Look, its a Victory sign! =)The Climbing-A-Rock pose!Woo! Im at the highest point!! @_@I love this mermaid-sitting-on-the-rocks pose!The BFG has just landed on this island!This rock here is SUPER DUPER ULTRA slippery! As it is submerged partially under the water..its not easy to even sit on it.. but i made it!! Yeah!!Omg~ Im falling!!

P/S: Dun think its easy to climb these rocks.. as they are quite slippery and one may fall if not careful enuf. Therefore, safety precautions must be ensured before climbing. But for me, i really went all out just to take these classic photos.. without really caring abt whether i would fall or not. Fortunately, i din.. So ... DUN PLAY PLAY OK!! Lol..

A pity couldn’t spend much time on the island as we were supposed to check out by 10am. So, we quickly made our way back to the resort.

HELP! Im stranded in the sea!!Its quite rare to see those green patches..MOSS?

While on the way back, saw some ppl crossing over too. Guess they must have seen us cross thats y they also cross..haha!

After we had successfully checked out at the reception, there were still abt 2 hrs left before the ferry comes. Thus, we had a short game of pool, which i won in the end!

After that, headed for lunch at a nearby chinese restaurant and while waiting for the food to be served, i went to check out the other side of the beach, which is also full of rocks too!!

The sea is really BLUE in colour!!Many small fishes..or guppies??Look what’s underneath the water!!99.99% transparent water!!

After lunch, we just waited at the jetty for the ferry to come with feelings of sadness to leave the island.

Feeling sad to leave…The ferry has come!!One last look before we go…Bye bye Tioman, I’ll miss you!!

Unlike the arrival ferry ride, the return ferry ride took a bit longer as it has to make its way to other parts of Tioman first before heading back to Tg Gemok.

After arriving at Gemok, we took a coach back to SG and this was the time where i felt very nauseous.

During the trip from SG to Mersing, we sat on a small bus so when the bus turns, the impact wasn’t so great and so i din rly feel v nauseous. But for the return trip, we sat on the big coach and upon turning, the impact is so great that it makes me feel v nauseous and almost wanna vomit. To suppress the feelings of vomitting, i had to sleep..really force myself to sleep and forget abt the nausea. Finally after 2 1/2 hrs, we arrived to a stop near a provision shop for a break. Finally can breath in some fresh air!! Whew..

Aft tat, the bus continued on until we reached the checkpoints and finally reached back SG!! Home sweet home!

THE END

K bah.. signing off here.. bye.

Supposed to wake up at 430am to catch the sunrise but in the end, we got up at 8am! Zzz.. got to wait till the next day.. =(

Went for buffet breakfast at the restaurant. There were many different dishes but not many were left as we were a bit late. Anw, there is this particular omelette stall near the buffet area. Wads more, u can select ur own ingredients and ask the person to cook for u! Its rly nice and delicious! For pic, refer to Day 3.

Aft breakfast, we walked to the end of the beach where we saw this offshore island far away.. it was low tide at the point of time so we were able to cross. But the bad thing is, i din bring out my camera!! So couldn’t take any pics!! >.< Aww. So we decided to go back to take my cam and come out again.

On the way back to resort.. happened to see this..

Guess wad is it?A COW! =D

Wanted to take a pic with it, but it kept moving away.. so can only catch it while its not looking.

Aft i took my cam and went out to that offshore island again.. the sun was scorching bright and my fren said its gg to be high tide soon so we had to wait till 5-6pm for low tide in order to get there again.

Went to the Aman Damai Wing in paya beach resort…

Lots of fishes!Large pond!

Next, we went further down into the village…

This resort is located quite further inside

And then, we made our way to….

The Rock Falls!! The water here is super cold and freezing.. The trail back to paya beach resort

Aft tat, we headed out for lunch, and then went back to rest before setting off again.

At ard 5pm, we went out to the offshore island again, but the tide was still quite high at that time so we couldn’t cross over. But then, there was another small stretch of island just nearby. However, in order to cross, one has to go quite deep in the water.. so i took up the challenge by my fren to cross over and i succeeded! Felt a sense of satisfaction! =)

Posing with the rocks.. haha.. =DVICTORY!! Wavy lines in the sand! See the stretch of water on the left? Thats the distance i had to cross in order to reach the small island.Lovely coral.. too bad its dead..Cant see v clearly as the sun is shining on me >.<I like this pose!“Leaning Rock of Tioman”Climbing higher..And HIGHER..Yeah i reached the top!! =D

And now, let me show u the different types of SUNSETs! All the pics below were taken with some effects from my cam!
