4 Days 3 Nights At Tioman

Day 1

Left my house around 6.30am, went for breakfast at one of the mamak store at our place. Then I drove all the way to Ayer Hitam, Johor, it took me 2 and half hours to reach there. My dad took over in Ayer Hitam and drove all the way to Mersing. Thats another 2 and half hour drive. We went to Mersing Jetty and bought return tickets, total RM280 for 3 adults 1 children =P Then we dropped by at one of the coffee shop and had our lunch.

We went back to the Jetty at 1.25p.m. since the ferry taking off at 1.30p.m. well we are Malaysian rite?? Wanna take a punctual ferry?? Dream on!! At first I thought we are sitting a ferry but 15 minutes later, the staff came to ask us whether we are going to Genting Village or not.. And yes we are.. So we are transfered to a small speed bot without air-cond!!

Ferry but not ours
The small speed boat beside the ferry is ours =.=

Not bad also la, it took us 1 hour to reach Genting Village.. Man thats flying lor!! Once we arrived there, we went to yum cha at one of the coffee shop there since Japamala's boat won't be arriving that early cause they had to fetch people from air port. At 4.30p.m. Japamala's boat arrived, we were very mad actually because we waited for more than 1 and half hours, since they explained they don't know about the delayed flight we forgive them =)

Japamala's speed boat

It only took 5 minutes boat ride to Japamala resort from Genting Village. Once we arrived, there are Japamala's staff waiting for us at their Jetty (Mandi-Mandi Restaurant) , greeted us and helped us to carry our luggage to the lobby.

We had our welcome drink, lemon grass drink with ginger.. Gosh.. I don't really like the taste actually =P Then we chose one of the four aromas that are offered to put in our rooms =) And so Mike lead us the way to our room. Once he opened the door, OMG!!! as expected for the top 10 boutique resorts in the world!! What a beautiful relaxing room!!

Lovely!!

I-Homes lol... view of in front of our room

We took our nice bath and search for dinner =) There are only two restaurant at Japamala resort, the Tamarind Terrace which serve Thai and Vietnamese food and Mandi-Mandi restaurant which serve Italian food. We then decided to have our dinner at Mandi-Mandi restaurant, on the way walking there, I experience for the first time, watching a beautiful sunset with my own eyes!! I can't believe I'm already enjoying this at young age ^_^

Small lake in front of the lounge
What a beautiful sunset

We then chose a place to sit and relax and ordered some delicious Italian food. Prawn salad, Lagsana, Turkey pizza, Grilled lobster and baked butter rice with prawn. I can't find any words to describe the dinner, with the view of sunset and having dinner on top of the ocean. Lovely, Remarkable!!! Romantic!! I'll make sure to mark this as one of my honeymoon spot =P

And guess what?? I can even watch the moon rise to the top of the middle of the ocean and I can see stars everywhere. Gosh.. Its just so peaceful to be there, made me just so in love out of sudden.

After the dinner, I went to the lounge to watch Man Utd vs Liverpool match =P Glad Man utd won and sorry to Liverpool, they've showed great fight back unfortunately Man Utd defense on top form that day =) Went back to my room after that to sleep!!

Day2

Had complementary breakfast at the Tamarind Terrace in the morning. Since we don't have much time, we had to get ready ourself to rush for the 1pm boat to Berjaya Tioman Beach Resort, so I actually went to the lounge to online and tease some people la hehe..

Last look of Japamala Resort =(
Here goes Berjaya

We arrived at Berjaya's jetty at 1.30pm and check in, then we were sent to Berjaya Tioman Suite by shuttle.. Nothing really interesting la.. But there's two thing happen ho ho ho...

1) We were given a room at Tioman Suite room 9301, the first room in block A. We went in and put in the key to activate the power supply. It then turn off when we bring our luggage in. Then my father take it out and put it back in again, it came back. Once we went to check our rooms, it shut off again. Then we standby the hall area of the suite, me and my father will trying to figure out what happen as we already sensing there are "things" around us. So We called the receptionist to ask for help, a guy and a lady came, then the power suddenly come back. We took the key out and put in again, it didn't trip at all. Wtf?? Once the staffs will about to leave, it trips again so we asked for transfer roomto room 9308. This time nothing happen.

~~~BUT~~~

2)At night, I felt quite creepy ya know because the whole Tioman Suite only 6 units are occupied. I went to sleep early since I was quite tired. I slept in this room where there is a light right in front of me outside the room. I don't even dare to close the door but I close the light inside the room. Guess what?? Don't freak out!! I saw shadows running around in front of me.. at first I though it was my sister, it was when there's footstep sound but I notice there are shadows moving around without any sound thats so weird. Once I opened my eye, there's nothing around. I only can see those shadows when I closed my eye. I fall asleep later but woke up around 1am as my mom came in my room and ask my father to go her room to sleep with her. I didn't know that but I felt that my father wasn't around anymore. Then I think he came back 1 hour later. Nothing happen to me.

Wow.. Thats big.. Berjaya Beach Resort map

Day 3

In the morning, my mother having a hard time sleeping as she claimed that those "thing" went into her dreams thats why she called my dad to go her room to sleep with her. And she told us that she saw my sister woke up every one hour, sit up straight about 3 minutes then went back sleep. Thats so creepy man!!! I asked my sis but she couldn't remember anything happen.

Forget about those stuffs, we ask to change our room and so the staff agreed and transfered us to deluxe room =) An upgrade after some nightmares.
Berjaya's lobby

On this day, we rent a chartel for RM600 to round the island. Well it was a horrifying experience for my mom when we went through the east side of Tioman Island. First, we stopped at Mukut for the Mukut's waterfall. At that time, we are already on the South China Sea. So the waves are extremely big about 2-3 feet high at least caused by heavy winds. We stopped by at Juara Village to experience the traditional cultural village living experience. Then stopped at Monkey Bay, now only I know they call it Monkey Bay because there's a lot of mat salleh love to get naked there, too bad the government don't allow it any more =P Well we went there for snookering. Then last stop at Reggis Island.

Well I can say it was a great experience for me to experience so many things at one day especially the scary ride in the north part of Tioman Island where the west waves, east waves and north waves all crashes together in the north part. Thats freaking scary especially when our boat is quite small.

Deluxe Room!!

Day 4

Tiring day as we went back to KL on this day. Man ferry ride took more than 2 hours to reach back Mersing. That pretty sux.

Arrival of ferry

I will try to post more photo soon as most of them are inside my dad's camera. Although I'm on vacation but I've involve with arguments with my parents for straight 5 days. Sometimes is very hard when I keep everything in my heart, luckily Eu Juin showed up in msn today and asked about me. Sorry that my blog is so dead now, trying to find motivation to update. I'm just so moody these days. Parents quite sux these few days. Dunno why. Sigh..
