Day 1 (1-July-06) 
Touch down Kota Bharu airport at around 8.30am.....only realize that it needs one hour to reach the jetty fr the airport...man, that sounds really tiring, especially when im really dead tired now.....ok, so board onto the pre-arranged van.....nothing much to see along the way...only kampung hses....there's one stretch where the van was crossing over the river on a one-way bridge and a narrow one too....impossible for 2 cars to cross at the same time....very scary...... too bad, din manage to take any photos.....
Finally reach BuBu Long office near the jetty and register ourself.....and was waiting for the speedboat to pick us up.....darn, keep wasting time waiting for this n that....not that im kan cheong to reach pulau perhentian, just that wasting time standing there was really not a fun thing to do.... The speedboat experience was really fun....it's like a mini-roller-coaster feel when it thump on the wave....all u can hear is
"eeee ahhh... eeee ahhh"....so fun......
We are getting closer...by now, i can see the island welcoming us....... cooolll...we need to walk in the water to reach the beach....upon reaching, we have a welcome cocktail juice....follow by briefting fr the staff.......
Around 4pm, we have our first snorkelling trip along the beach by the resort......not much corals, only lots of colorful fishes..... We have seafood BBQ for dinner....yummy... especially the huge BBQ lala.....and drink Tiger beer after the meal
(not pao in the trip, cost RM9/can) Closing of the day is watching the WC match between England and Portugal.....eyes rolling left right left right....focusing on the ball and cheers together with the crowd....it's kinda fun though, even none of the team score any goal......Some farnie act like ppl standing up when the england almost score.... "ooohhhh...." said someone........ppl clapping hand like morally supporting the team....etc
*yawnnn.....bed time for me.....it's 12.30am
Day 2 (2-July-06)
The day started with 2 snorkeling trip...Shark Reeves is our first stop....
"Jump!!" callout by the so-called 'guide'....so put on my fins and mask, i jump gracefully into the sea...
Splasshhhh......ooppss...too heavy i think :P
Swim like a mermaid, i snorkel around the boat area coz dare not go too far, just in case get swifted away.....
What a sight!!!...Not a beautiful one but a dissappointed and sad one....Most the corals are dead....like the Land of Dead already--all browish in color.....
I think i snorkel around 30mins and got really pening.....starting to get sea-sick.....but thinking it will get worse if i board on the boat, i stay-put in the water and try not to focus too much.....the 'guide' is telling us that there is a big fish hiding underneath the rock....we follow him there and you need to dive down to see IT...hahah, too tiring and no more breath, i cant even dive, even without my life jacket....forget it !
Next stop, Turtle Bay.....love turtles and never got the chance to get near them.....here's my chance and here i go, splasshhhh into the water......OMG!...there's a big one swimming below my feet.....it's a very pretty creature......and there is this guy trying to catch it, haha, too bad, the turtle swim faster than him....:P...i think they are like 2 turtles swimming around...both looks similar to me, so i also dunno whether is true that there are 2....haha....
Lunch time....is darn hungry by now....decided not to go to the 3rd snorkeling trip......im kinda pening after the morning snokeling....so what im gonna do?---> sleep.... for the entire afternoon...darn shiok lar....the reason i woke up is because i wanna catch the afternoon tea break....hehehe
....i live, i sleep and i eat like a pig during the trip !....
Walk around the island and is checking out prices for chalet and food, not forgetting my diving course too....Plan to get my diving license next year......Found out that it's not neccessary to go with Bubu, which i find it kinda expensive.....There's this chalet called Sunlight XXX, RM120/double occupancy room with air-con and water heater.....too bad, all (except Bubu) don accept reservation..... Tonight is the last night in Perhentian....sit by the beach and listen to the waves splashing, me and friend had a long chat.....only one star shining upon us....so sad, was looking forward a starry sky......
Last Day (3-July-06)Check out at 11am, we sit at the beach waiting for the speedboat to send us back to the mainland....and from the mainland, we continue the journey to the aiport.....my flight is suppose to be 9.40pm....but since i have no other plan, im trying my luck to get on the earlier flight coz im thinking it will not be full today....Check with the check-in guy and confirm that there are sits available.....sigh, kena pay RM100 for the time change.....sigh....took me 10mins to make the decision to pay RM100 to get onto the earlier flight...no choice lar....i do not want to waste the next 6 hrs loafing in the Kota Bharu airport.....
Lesson 1: never book any late flight if going to places like Perhentian or Redang.....
That's all for my Perhentian trip and now im back to office, sloggingggg......
p/s: tried uploading photos here, but faill.....sigh.....
