12.00pm

After all the Oooooos and AAHhhhs upon arrival, we checked ourselves into our rooms. Ours was the cheapest so we only had this big fat rock covering our entire balcony. No view. But who cares!~ Only spent a few hours in it. No time was wasted...we headed down to the restaurant and had our buffet lunch. Had a good variety of food. But din eat too full, dun wanna puke when snorkelling.

SO our first snorkelling trip begun. I forgot where we went but I believe we took a ferry out to the deeper part of the sea and put on our snorkelling gear. NOt an excellent swimmer so was kinda freaked. We're in the middle of the colossal sea! Had a while to get used to breathing thru mouth and everything was smooth from there. A malay guide brought us ard with a float. Heh. Me and Chew merely did some kicking and we moved along swiftly. After a while ur fear was taken over by the breathtaking view right before ur eyes. And the serenity stops anything running thru ur mind. So we saw what lies beneath. We visited the fishes' home, and they welcomed us proudly.

We were foating for abt 2 hours. GUide wasnt fluent in English and only Chew could understand him. We all think he has the hots for her. He was amazing. Sometimes he'd dive right into the water and bring up some sea urchins & this shell like creature that gives out trails of mucus.

We were merely moving along when some gurl excitedly called out to us. She had found Nemo in the big big sea and had it in her hands. We touched it's skin and did our OOoooos and Ahhhsss =) Din see her ard after that, but that look on her face was priceless.

After we returned to shore we chilled out in our swim wear on the beach. Sat down on one of the benches with umbrellas to suntan. Spotted cute Prince Harry look alike & decided to stare at him and his gurl sun tanning. Wanted to know the time & dared Chew to ask him for it. Chew dared me back & I did it!~ Heh Heh. He was just right in front. And with his raspy voice he was more then happy to show & tell me the time. =) Chew wasn't too happy abt having to treat me Crystal Jade... After which spotted a blond babe and on closer look, heh heh we discovered she was doing some nude sun bathing!~JuN cHaO quickly asked for his specs. Seirye was obsessively applying sunblock over every possible part of her body =)Played a bit of beach volley and then washed up for dinner. Thing is, all of us probably overpacked coz the only piece of clothing we always wore was our swim wear! No clothes were needed. We were parading ourselves in it for the entire time!~ In the restaurant, in the lobby, anywhere!~ Ha, Seirye and I got used to it after a while.

7.00 pm
Dinner was cool. Had the opportunity to get accquainted with new pple. Conversation was never stale and I discover amazing things from these pple. Turns out its Yuppie's third time there!~ I wonder what's in the island that made her come again and again. To me this place is only good once.

9.00 pm
Was kinda jaded after dinner. They decided to go KTV and we all flaunted our vocal talents. Except me ofcoz. I'm chipmunk on KTV. Started to get really tired so I retreated to room first. They went to check out luminous turtle eggs. Missed out on that one. Ooooo JuN cHaO den discovered some hairs on his bed. Details are too disgusting for my blog. Caused quite a stir & he had to share bed with Seirye for two nights!~Refused to see whats up with his bed...
