Had an awesome weekend last week. The siblings (except Baby Lisya) and my Aunty went to Pangkor Island for a little getaway before KK trip this coming Christmas. Left the house at 9am, we had McDonald's for breakfast and head to Lumut after that. The journey took us almost 3hours before we reached the jetty in Lumut. Parking was troublesome, but luckily we got a spot in a swift 5mins. Bought the tickets, RM10 each for two way trip, quite cheap la kan? After that, rest for a while and had lunch at one of the stalls near the jetty. The food was quite blergh and a bit pricey for a small serving of nasi goreng. But we put that aside and queued for our turn to board the ferry which would take us to the island.
After maghrib, went to the ikan bakar place nearby but couldn't find an empty table and then it started raining. So we went to the nearby hotel and had dinner there instead. The food was okay, but we were quite frustrated as we really wanted that ikan bakar since we got there. Sigh.
Woke up early the next morning. Went for breakfast and it was the worst breakfast ever. The choice of food served was limited and the food wasn't that good. After that we went to the nearby sundry shop and bought bottles of mineral water and food for lunch, since we were gonna spend the whole day island hopping and snorkeling. Around 11am, we met that Pakcik Zainal who would be bringing us to Coral Island for snorkeling session. But since the tide was low so he dropped us on one of the small islands and told us that he'd picked us up later at 1pm and bring us to Coral Island. So we spent that 2 hours swimming in the ocean and playing by the beach. Memang gelap la right. Adik played with the sea cucumber. There were so many of them and it was so difficult to avoid those gamat. My aunt campak one of the sea cucumbers at my brother and he was screaming and jumping out from the sea. And there was this small boy asked my aunt "Kenapa kakak tu takut?" LOL! Kakak la pulak kan? Hahahha. Kesian Boboy.
Then Pakcik Zainal picked us up and we headed straight to Coral Island. By the time we reached there, the place was flooded with people. It was so hard to snorkel with people's bums and feet shoving your face and butt. And we could only see a few fish because the place was packed and the water was a bit keruh. I hurt my feet from hitting the corals. The tide was still low so it's hard to avoid the corals. We only spent 15mins there and called the day off. So the uncle sent us back to our hotel and there goes our RM170. As soon as we arrived at the beach, it was drizzling. A boy approached us and asked if we want to take a ride on this square sofa shaped floaties tied on his boat, which he'd drive off for 2 rounds. So I said why not? I could really use a thrilling ride after the disappointment from our snorkeling session. And I was right! The ride was so awesome we couldn't do anything but laughed and screamed our lungs out as the boat pulled the huge floaties around the beach. The energy and the adrenaline rush from the ride were just what I needed to end the day on a perfect note.
After that, went to the room to get some rest before dinner. Had dinner at our usual seafood restaurant near the hotel, but we had to wait hours for the food. And it was very disappointing that the butter prawns was not the usual butter prawns like we had every time we came to Pangkor. They usually served the best butter prawns I have ever tasted. After that, went to check out the karaoke place near the hotel but it was damn expensive we decided to call the night off.
The next morning, took a few pictures of the beach before sunrise. Then, we head home after breakfast. Can't wait for our KK trip in 2 weeks' time!!
