First off, we booked a tour to three islands, Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Redang and Lang Tengah, but due to the sudden rainy weather, we had to cancel to Redang and Lang Tengah which is ok anyway because we have had plenty of time to sit back and relax. Cepat Express bus picked us up in I4P and 17 of us took off...
During the first day, we were all in a very sunny mode, but it was unexpectedly stormy. In the morning when we arrived Jerteh, it had already began to drizzle. A van cab driver picked us up and we were sent to a tiny old Chinese coffee shop to have our breakfast. His jokes are too funny we forgot to laugh. (Note: he points at a cow and says that is an elephant.) We'd also picked up Pik Wan's chatty sister(pik 2) from Johor.

7am
Embark in a speed boat carrying our luggage, 14 people (4 was left behind) and a cute tour guide Lee. And gosh, the waves are killer high, and the rain starts falling onto our luggage and apparently we hadn't got any water resistant bags xcept for pik 2 who has a raincoat.... Kq nearly fall into Hypothermia, i got a sore butt, and we agreed to stay out of Banana Boat because this short trip is equals to twice a banana bumpy ride.
9am
All of us reached safely to Pulau Perhentian small island and we sat in their nice cozy cafe to wait for check in. The weather was too dangerous to be sailed in. n we were all wet frm head to toe....n plus the luggage all wet...
11am
Changed into our previous wet clothes and played Carom, still waiting for the 4 guys. They arrived with the same drench-ness. We had our lunch.
1pm
Sail out for snorkeling. Although it was still raining hard, but we can see the underwater undisturbed. The first spot was the coral reef snorkeling. And then we manage to get a glimpse of a turtle poking its head from the water.
3pm
The rain refused to stop. We parked at an island and had lunch there.
5pm
Continue our journey. Next stop baby shark. The water was too murky to see any fish at that moment.
6pm
Back to our chalet (D'Ayumi Chalet). n continue wit the guys at the beach with water captain ball wit TGFU style n there i got cuts on my tapak kaki. quite a deep cut...
8pm
We had dinner. Some bought cup noodles to eat, and when they asked the waiter to bring out hot water, his face was like =.=; and he's bald. We had a great time in the Cafe. We watched Lee Chong Wei's winning match.
10pm
Fell into slumberland with aching limbs and painful cuts. slept n interrupted wit a few msges n calls....=.='''
