Road Trip

The beginning of our whole road trip to Pulau Ketam!!

And that's when the waiting starts.

Waited for 20 mins for the train to come and we thought that was long.

Wait till later.....

More to come

We were in a submarine-looking boat

Cool eh?

And it takes 40 mins to reach Crab Island

Thank goodness it went at an acceptable speed

And we didn't encounter any pirates =))

They were actually duet-ing in the train and boat

Notice the mp3 player LOL

Romantic-nya

Keen Wai and Sam

A boat went passed them, and they got splashed

HAHA

Me and Kar Wei

Cindy and Kah Tuck

The 3 Musketeers? LOL

I could hardly open my eyes as it was super duper hot!

Awwww...Love birds =))

Childish kids thumb-wrestling

Attempted to look tall but failed miserably

Our group photo =))

Notice something?? I didn't take any pictures of the food! We were all starving, totally forgotten to take any pictures. And the food wasn't as I expected, maybe because we went to the wrong restaurant. But nvm I still love the experience of going there. At least I went to another pulau now besides Penang. LOL

The next day itself, there was this news in the newspaper about 400 stray dogs that were dumped by Pulau Ketam residents at Pulau Tengah!! OMG soooo poor thing!

“They were wandering aimlessly, often looking towards Pulau Ketam with eyes that appeared empty and listless,’’

"Some of the dogs had tried to swim back to the main island but had been shooed away, resulting in some of them drowning,"

These two sentences stabbed me in the heart when I read it. *cries* I can't imagine Nikki being trapped at that island where there's totally nothing there!!

And in Pulau Ketam itself, we actually saw a few stray dogs wondering around, going through rubbish searching for food. At that moment, I was thinking, how does it feel being an islander dog?? But now I'm convinced that it's not fun at all being an islander dog.

Our journey back was very hectic as well! We missed the boat by 15 minutes! And we had to wait for another 45 minutes before the next boat departs. Oh but this time, the boat was awesome! It was as if the entire submarine-looking boat went for a total makeover. Cleaner and more comfy :) Like I always say, the journey back always feels faster than when we are going there. We reached back to the train station in no time! Thank goodness we reached there early as the train was arriving in 15 minutes time!

It was another hour before we reached KL Sentral and the train that was departing for midvalley arrived when we just arrived! Yup we did not hesitate at all. Ran like mad cows!! But it was overcrowded! Everyone was pushing their way through till the door can't even close. So there was no way we could catch this train and so we waited for the next one which should arrive in another 15 minutes time. Tick tock tick tock. Unfortunately, it was delayed for another 40 mins!! O.M.G!! We were so not gonna wait for that train! Decided to take a cab instead and there was also a queue for it. Luckily we didn't have to wait long and what a relief it was when we saw midvalley. Had a 2 hour dinner at KFC and you know what amazed me the most? It's that we actually yack non-stop for more than 12 hours! No wonder I fell flat on my bed and doze off immediately when I reached home. LOL

Oh and just one tiny-weeny advise I would like to give. Pulau Ketam is honestly, seriously, super duper freaking unbelievably hot!! There's not a single cloud insight and there's no where to hide as there's hardly any trees there! Is there even a single tree there? Even though it's an island but it's built on stilts so i don't think there's any trees. So...bring lots of shades, caps, sunglasses and wear something that looks like a diving suit to cover every inch of exposed skin.

Conclusion: It was indeed one hectic road trip alright. But I enjoyed myself a lot! *hearts* to all of you! (my gay and non-gay bestfriends) =]]
