may 4th to may 6th i've went for a different holiday . . .for me a normal holiday just resting and free from busy and stress
but this one is rather an enjoying-type holiday
location is pangkor island
the 3 days was off-peak period from tuesday to thursday
it's like the resort only 10% or less occupied
7 of us take bus from klang sentral to reach lumut
and a 25 minutes ferry trip to the island
10 years ago i step on this island before
didn't remember much of it though
we stay in coral bay resort 2km from the main jetty
the cool thing is the resort is 100m from the beach
evening, night, morning we walk to the beach
hope for a nice sunset, nice star-sky-view, nice cold breeze
but we're not in good luck i guess
sunset could have been better without cloud
stars couldn't been seen clearly, either it's thick cloud or the light is too bright
we barely see a few stars shine the second day
and about sea breeze, a very week one actually
the pasir bogak beach not that clean also, still the sea water is better than some in east coast
still have good things though
the food we having in the resort is really not bad
so much food and the lunch and dinner set we have to waste some
breakfast buffet is nice, just that milk is missing which i really hope they have it
most of our activities is by the beach
walking by the seaside, picking up and throwing stones
shell hunting and some rock-climbing to get higher view
the best activity will be the snorkeling and sight-seeing
all on a speed boat where the we run into strong winds
we snorkel one hour and then swim by a so-called private beach for half-and-hour
the snorkeling is fun and really a lot of fishes out there, colourful one is nice of course
and also the place where we keep on taste the sea water
that 'private' beach can only reach by boat cause it's a small and pretty island apart from the main island
so not much people there, in fact only our group by there that time
the beach is very clean compare to the main island's
and sea water is just so crystal-clear
first time i seen it really surprise me
because in my mind, there's really less beach that's clean unless it is really private
second day evening, we walked 2km to town and weather just so hot
simply walk around and managed to buy some local products
and on the way back, found a very very rare ice kacang stall
due to off-peak period, not much food and dessert can be found
even the people that make ice kacang also out of ice for the moment when 7 of us ordered
at the beach, saw some fellows putting kites, really professional
looking at them while they racing their kites to reach as high as possible
quite a scene by the beach, feel so relax
that night, and lucky enough, some fellow catching fish by the seaside
and the process is 'live' in front of us
they catch dozens of squid and some medium-sized fishes
a lot has 'jump' away when they pulling back the net
for a city-kidz . . . it's nice experience
another thing that surprise us is we saw some friends from our secondary school
ex-schoolmates, either is malaysia too small, or could be we have the same thoughts
i bet even if we chose some other place, we could still see some familiar faces
it's good somehow
the morning on the day we back
we spent our last activity on the beach as well
this time sand-art
lot of stuffs put on to make some good photo for cameras
other than footprints, we even use specs to decorate the sand
one that only us can make it because 7 of us wear specs
