Updates on my little get-away

Just came back from snorkelling trip at Tioman with my sister. Had a really good time, despite the fact that I was down with a little flu. Lucky snorkelling requires us to breathe through the mouth, not nose. =) The travellling sucks though, took us 6 hrs to get there and 7 hrs to get back to SG. Compared to the last time I went, it was only 4hrs ferry ride frm Tanah Merah Ferry terminal. Too bad the ferry operator went bust. Anyhow, when we reached Tioman, the first thing we did was to take a power nap. Really tired from all the travelling. I still "gei kian" take motion sickness pill, really konked out by the drowsiness effect. We went to Rengis and Marine Park on the first day. Thanks to our guide Ah On, we managed to see cuttlefish, needlefish, baracuda and lots of corals. In the afternoon, we went out on another snorkelling trip just outside Paya Beach. The marine life is really beautiful. Lucky I chose Paya Beach Resort this time. Berjaya will have better accomodation but definitely not so good for snorkelling. On the last day I even went for a 2.5 hr spa. Got standard one leh, really quite shiok, but I went snorkelling straight after, so the spa kind of wasted. Quite a fruitful trip, took a lot of photos (will post some after I organise them), made some friends, and my sis managed to snorkel without life jacket. Not bad for someone who can't really swim. =) But I still can't skin dive. Told JQ and he was so surprised. He said you just dive in lor. Easy for a "sinker" but I am the kind tt tends to float mah...:( so unless got pple pull me down, if not I can't make it down at all. The food was surprisingly nice. They catered vegetarian for both of us and in place of the dinner buffet, we had soup, 2 or 3 dishes and rice. Their ala carte menu has 1 whole page of vegetarian cusine and taste quite good too! In summary, it was a good break, great place, great company, good food, good spa and I'm looking forward to coming back again. Of cos Redang will be better but it's really too far out liao. :0 And between Berjaya and Paya, I will definitely choose Paya over 5-star Berjaya. =)
