under the sun...

this is another overdue post. could be looong, so bear with it.

this happened during the last public holiday, and if you have read J'Z, you would have read all about the fun-ness or not, the happening or not, the silence-ness or not...

We departed from the six star hotel, where our boat awaited for us. yes! we travelled non-commercial ya! it's a chartered boat ok!

where we go?

the tortoise man island or Kuraman Island.

Geographically, it's located off the coast of Labuan. However, unlike LAbuan, we dont need a passport to get there, there is no immigresen, no customs, no nothing really. It's just an island sparsely populated with hmm...people of Kuraman.

yes! we dropped by to say hello to the villagers.

They must be thinking: look sa kai coming onshore-oogling us.

So why we go there?

I have heard so much about the place, the island, the beach. People go there to have fun, to drink, to bbq, to dive, to snorkel and what's not.

"ooo...u hv to go man! really nice...the beach lah...the water is super clear man..."

so off we went, thanks to Z's collegue's bf who organised the trip. thanks man!

45 or 50 mins later, we arrived at the island- to say ahalo to the villagers.

like any tourists, cameras were out, click click. dun know why?
post snapping, back to the boat heading to our 'destination' to unload and have fun, which was round the corner.

ta dah...we arrived.

even the island dog, Joy followed.

our hut. yup! check out the flag.

one of the chalets available to rent for hmm...your honeymoon.

then post unloading, we hopped back to the boat to another nearby island for some snorkeling- find nemo loh. yes! we found his parents, grandparents, bros & sistas too.

yes! the water where we snorkelled was indeed clear but the water @ the beach (hut) was clearer but no fish wor. so yes! true: as they say, water is clear...that's why divers come here to dive. Indeed, we saw divers dropping by-eating our food haha...

half an hour or so, in the water really makes one hungry. Believe me, it does...

when we head back to our hut at the island, most of us are starving, and some guys are only then starting the bbq. So to kill time, beach = tanning.

did not take pic of food cos too hungry cleaning the meats off the chicken bones among other yummy food brought by others. humous or not humous-its all the same.

tummy filled, only thing to do @ the island is ...

hammock-ing?

writing on the sand...and those who knows Miss Mo will know. ;)

trying to ----

the island is ok lah, look! i'm not good with words. But after my dayout there, i think it's slightly overrated lah. Everyone praised it till like its a must go island, but to fair...

Water is indeed clear, you get to see nemo & other fishes, it's only a stone throw away from us, and you get a hut (a shelter) for you to unload and sit and do all sorts.

Maybe it's the people (i'm not really close with), maybe it's my mood, maybe it's me. Maybe the beach is not much of a beach, or is it? or just a line of sand with seasalt water on both sides?

ooo last but not least. apply insect repellent whenever you go to any beaches, cos i got 3 nos of sandflies bites and its damn itchy. CB lah. kang here and there.

happy meal?

how's everyone's weekend?

my weekend was spent doing the following: (my saturday actually)

1. lunch @ the franchise ice cream place in the mall, simply because we wanted to spot lesbos later see the korean facial product roadshow & have some full fat yummy sticky chocolate icecream later cos it's effing hot for the past few days.

To Swensen (there i named the icecream place)

please stock up your ice cream because it's f*#king disgrace to see three quarters of the ice-cream flavours in your menu covered up by pink stickers. why? NOT AVAILABLE. we have pics to prove.

then your not so pleasant waitress came telling us, we only have blah di blah flavours only.

Its a icecream shop for crying out loud? and u not stocking your bestsellers?

then over the counter...

I asked your cashier/waitress, why so many icecream flavours dun have?

If you come tonight, we have. It's on its way. (she answered like everyone asked her alot of time and she is fed up with answering) u know the feeling... like KNS one while processing my payment.

woot!

seriously. TONITE? cos they import them, u see.

So why dun they tell, "come tonite" when i enter the restaurant huh? Idiot!

So next time, can i say: I come tonight to pay my bill? huh? simply because...

ps. your food is not that great too hor. If it wasn't for the 'hope of eating' icecream, i wouldnt even eat in your always not available icecream shop lah.

anyway....

2. went to the roadshow and spotted hmm...the butch DJ doing her thang. Then her friend came on too.

3. went to watch the Wanted. (pic)

All i can say is, Go watch! ok, the plot is not groundbreaking but the there is a twist or 2. wat more, you get to see the lips, the boobies, and the tattoos.

ooo...i sat between E & J'Z. One pinched me not once but a few times, while the other jumped in his seat and squirmed in various scenes. I need to start practicing my gun shoot. ;)

4. dinner at the restaurant situated next to the roundabout. The standalone one that arch. yup! u clevah ppl know where rite.

wat can i say. Now to think about it. Wat is down actually?

The food is terrible. ok ok! its edible but so not worth it. It was my 2nd or 3rd time EATING there and the food always ...ALWAYS NEVER FAIL TO DISAPPOINT. honestly.

worse is E, found a metal sampler thingy in his food, right after he told us to eat slowly cos his mum found a piece of metal that was part of the peg (where they clip the receipt to the plate) in her food.

WAT THE EFF? (pic)

So nice building but shame on the food. Dun say i dun tell you all hor.

maybe i shld just ask for a happy meal next time...got this from A via email.

happy meal? or be ti (lil britain)

maybe McD should use that for their upcoming campaign. hehe!

*****

on the work front, is it possible to design a handful of INDIVIDUAL buildings in a week. huh? i got 3 down & 2 more to go. Ok ok! sketchy only lah.

and ooo i'm happy we are in the running got the job for one of the competition we joined last week. yeah!

pps. I need yoga! My mind is overload now. And blogging (talking crap) is one of my outlet. So guys & dolls, thanks for bearing with my crap. ;)
