An Escapade Trip @ 3/5/2007 ~ 6/5/2007

Bought this trip during the month of March when I was terribly down until I’m desperately looking for an escapade trip to runaway from my unhappiness, depression, pressure and work… But end up being the escapade trip to ment my broken heart… This is the very 1st time I travel alone without a companion of which I was a little bit nervous at first to go for it, thanks to Nixon for his encouragement in traveling alone... : )

I woke up early the morning and left a note to Alv wishes him all the best in his new undertaking on SP’s Vietnam Project before I left the little love nest… While I was having my breakfast at KLIA, I received a sms from Alv wishes me an enjoyable trip and my tear drops… :’(

Reached the destination and have my check-in done, it was really a beautiful, calm and peaceful place. On this very Day 1, I went for island hoping in the afternoon and did few snorkeling. The marine park here was well preserved, you are able to see a lot of nice fishes + corals even though just snorkel around and I must say this is the nicest snorkeling spot that I had ever visited. At nite, I joint 2 couples from China & KL + dive instructor for some red wine sipping. Other than these, was crying all day long with my mp3 player switched on in the room, during lunch + dinner, even when chatting with my mum over the phone on a bench at the beach side… Never ever thought that things which supposed to be constructive even in the logical mind of other people can turn to be 1 of the break up reason… :’’(

Had my jungle trekking in the morning of Day 2 and met a new friend from Japan, Sayaka-san who is taking her OWDC course with the dive instructor, Eric whom I knew on Day 1. Then, I met another 3 new friends after dinner, KF who is the tour leader to another group of people and a pair of advance diver couple from S’pore, Steph & Matt… Went to search for “night glow sea ameba” with Sayakan-san later at nite and decided to do at least 2 dives on Day 3 after chatting with Eric, Steph & Matt …

Waived goodbye to Sayaka-san and started off with a shore dive to refresh my diving skills on Day 3 morning… the house reef is nice to see of which we can’t hardly find such beautiful house reef at most of the resort. Surfaced after 30min bottom time for lunch break and continued my 2nd boat dive for 35 min bottom time after tea break. Met another 2 new friends, SH & WL who did a discovery dive with Eric before my shore dive in the morning.

Last, have my belongings packed after breakfast with Eric on Day 4 morning and waived goodbye to him + the island after photo session with him, Steph & Matt. While heading back to the main land on speed boat transfer, I had another unpredictable surprise… Ya! We saw dolphins swimming and jumping around next to our boat for about 10-15 min…! It was really a mesmerizing phenomenon which is beyond my expectation and I guess God has given me a reason to cheer myself. : ) I then rented a rest house at KT Town with SH & WL and spent an afternoon walking around the town with both of them while waiting for my evening flight back to KL… Ended my escapade trip when Sam & Koh picked me from KLIA back to the little sad house.
