My date with Tioman Island

Someone told me I must share my experiences in Tioman Island. So here it is!

SEAFOOD BY THE JETTY:
You can't beat this when the fishing boat is right at my "doorstep". LOL


We started with duty free beer while waiting for our basket of seafood to be cooked by the fishermen from the fishing boat.



Me and Audrey, waiting for the seafood .............

Here it is!!! 20 Crabs , 1kgs prawns and 5 cray fish. Oh did I mention that was just supper? LOL


YUM SENG!!!

HAPPY

I've been very busy but very happy especially when VACATION STARTS NOW!!
WAHOOOOOO!! :)

Strange Funny Feeling

Strange. The more I run, the more it comes to me. I have tried one thousand ways and even convinced myself that this wasn't meant for me. Then, when came many times I knew I couldn't run away anymore, I did all I can to destroy it. I simply threw myself into the middle of pacific ocean just to see how deep it takes to drown me. But strangely, each time I managed to swim my way to the shore. I guess its all because I get many support and love from friends and loved ones who will go all their way out to support me, simply because, they, believed in me.

This little funny feeling of mine, kept fighting on. Listen to your heartbeat! I kept on telling myself. So now, am I destroying it or simply going all out to do it? I don't know. All I know is if I fail, I won't cry. This, I am sure. I'll only give my very best for everyone who believed in me. Come what may! What doesn't kill me, only makes me stronger. I'll survive, I had and always will. I'm gonna enjoy this. :)

CHEERS!

Happy National Day Everyone! Enjoy the fireworks!

Need more energy

I've been very tired and not sleeping well. Guess I really need to upgrade my room. It's time to replace the pillows and get new bedsheets made from Egyptian cotton. LOL How about making some money first?

I've had stopped swimming for one month and not been eating right too. What is wrong with me? I can't use the "too busy/no time" excuse on myself. Just not right, because I believe there's always time for everything.

So I guess I shall put on my swim suit in a bit when the sun is up. I have slept for two days after feeling feverish and the usual eye infection. So I guess it will be good to exercise a bit.
Many friends from all over flew in this month and there are more to come.

Gotta have more stamina so that I can have more energy to spend time with friends , work, family and events. Work in progress for my mini concert. So far so good and I'm thankful to my new vocal coach and musician. I've started to read bedtime stories to my nieces. I do make it a point to do so at least twice a week. Glad I had finally done it.

I'm not a superwoman. But I make sure I make time for people I love and cherish. Sometimes its hard to divide my time because there are so much going on and so many people to share my time but its possible. Now I gotta learn to have more me time. Yep, time for myself like now, this very moment, going for a swim.

The CHIJ Divas are back in town

We were just learning to sing "My Bonnie" & "Forward CHIJ" when we met. We brushed our teeth together after recess. We played "zero point" and barbie dolls. We feared the bees from the huge old tree. We danced and sang Madonna's. We teased each other when the boys from the next school wrote us letters. We ran 3.5km in the jungle of Bukit Timah. We plucked flowers for the nectar after school while we wait for the bus............



Our looks may have changed but our friendship remains the same. Till we meet again in DEC with the rest. Glad to see you girls again. Thank you for all the good memories and many more to come!HUGZ

Sharon's Tip on Pulau Tioman

Pulau Tioman, East Coast Malaysia, Malaysia
To me , Tioman Island is a place to really rest and relax. I've lost count the number of times I've been to the island. The best way to explore the island is to trek. The usual 3days 2nights travel package is not enough to appreciate the beauty of the island. My advise is to stay at least for a week or anything more than 3 days 2 nights. Be nice to the locals. Be nice to the resort/hotel staffs, make friends with them and treat them with respect, you'll be surprised on how much joy they can bring to you. Get back to the basics of simplicity. You'll learn many life lessons along the way. Explore other kampongs/villages.

If you are from the city, my advise for you is to store away your ritz carlton / hilton attitude. However there's one and only 5 stars resort on the island you may enjoy which is the Berjaya Resort. For me, I prefer to opt for a mid range room in any kampong/village. Because I prefer to explore and enjoy the serendipity on the island which is ubiquitous.

Here are the list kampongs/ villages/resorts you may enjoy.
1) Kampong Genting (Island Reef Resort)
2) Kampong Paya
3) Salang
4) Juhara

zzzzzzZZzzzZZ I'm writting only to Kill time.

Gosh.... I'm so sleepy now but I can't sleep. In just one more hour, I have to leave the house and make my way to the isle for holiday...

Only a few things that I almost can't seem to leave behind. First my mousehunt, am I gonna run out of cheese? Yeah 450 Swiss cheese should be more than enough for 3 days. Second thing is, maybe I should bring my laptop along... Last but not least, I have to find ways to kill time for now.... Yeah, one of good way is to type rubbish random thoughts on my blog. LOL I don't even know what I'm typing anymore.

Not forgetting gotta meet up with duckie and wolfy too. oh, there's shoot also... And my appointment with the doctor and dentist... Also I promised my nieces an outing. Gosh! Mommy wants to eat out too... Hummm.... At least I'm glad to know I've only 40 mins more to kill here.
