East Coast Island

Went to Perhentian Island on 1-3 August with 10 other friends from INTI Christian Fellowship. Can be considered a farewell outing for Jonathan, Enthel and Reuben too. This is my first time going to an island on the east coast. Heard a lot about the beautiful beaches and the clear water on the east coast. Finally got to experience it.

It was an 8 hours bus ride to the jetty and another 30 minutes boat ride to the island. Took a night bus there. The bus was classy and comfortable but did not managed to have a good sleep. The journey back took 9 hours (different bus company). Regreted taking a different bus back. Consequences of being cheap xD

Check out the super long bus tickets

I was hoping to see turtle lay eggs in Perhentian but did not have the chance to see it. Anyway, still managed to see baby turtles. The guy was keeping it until they grow up only release them. We also saw a giant turtle at the sea bed while snorkeling.

so cuteee!

It was also my first time snorkeling, great experience. Saw a lot of marine creatures. I was quite disappointed with the corals though, was expecting to see more colourful corals.

The corals look so dry

and dull. Not sure is it effect of global warming.

Overall, it was a great trip and I had a good time. Thank You Enthel for organising this. I am going to miss those people leaving. Enthel, the imba girl, Jonathan, one of my first friend from ICF and Reuben, troll king and FIFA kaki. :'(
