Exactly one week ago, Jinn Lin, her sis, her sis bf and I went to Lang Tengah. It was probably one of the best vacation I had so far. I went into the jungle, "into" the ocean, waited for sea turtles to lay eggs on shore, and I even saw "blue sand". =) I had so much fun! I did kayak and snorkeling for the very first time. Never in my dreams thought I would kayak nor snorkel! So yea, I'm pretty proud of me. If y'all know me, I love the beach stuff but not so much water activities. But this trip opened my eyes and my mind. It also helps a lot that we had really awesome snorkeling guides, boatmen, whom also brought us for night jungle walk. I almost saw sunrise too, but it requires a lil rock climbing so I said Nah forget bout it. Hehehe.
The snorkeling part is the most fascinating. When I was submerged in the ocean, I was all alone with the nature, the under sea kingdom. The ocean lives are vastly different from what we see on dry land. The corals, the color of the fishes, shapes of lives underneath is breathtaking. When the light rays shines through the sea, lighting up our lives. We learned how to breathe in the water with proper equipment, how amazing! When I was in the water, the whole world slows down. As if only those creatures and god are watching me. Scary at times but it is nonetheless good for my soul. Being with the ocean livings, the impact of how we should love our one and only earth is much deeper. You do not need a thousand books and commercials telling how to love our mother earth. Go snorkeling once, and you'll know. If the ocean is not within your arms reach, go see "Nemo" it is as close and as real as you can get. Seriously. The maker of "Nemo" has done an excellent job.
We saw baby sharks and sea turtles, thanks to our snorkeling guide, Ad. Yes his name is, just, AD.
When I wasn't being bombarded by the awesomeness of mother nature. I was surrounded with love, wholesome love. Holding hands in the water, swimming away together. Cradled by the hammock by the sea with him next to me. Sharing/sitting on a rock by the beach watching the night glows. Occasionally (twice for me) seeing shooting stars pass us by. =) How freakin romantic right! Yea, I did all that. What a trip! Totally wasn't expecting it. I should be going back very soon to see him again. ^^ Just could not believe the magical things that happened on that island.
Oh boy, I have so so many stories to tell. Just wanna say, go experience it yourself, at least once. Do not be afraid. I went into the sea without a life vest on the second time around. Might seem stupid to some of you, but the freedom you get without the restriction of a life vest is priceless. I was paddling around in my bikini, flippers and mask. If I could fly, I think that's what it would feel like. Free and blissful.
One month since the last time I wrote anything on here. One month worth of stress and stress and stress. It all went away the moment I jumped into the water. This trip worth every single penny I paid for and I didn't even spend that much for it. 498MYR for E-very-thing!!! Wanna know how much that is in USD? Divide that with 3.5 (roughly) ;)
p.s. I will think twice/thrice before I use another Ziplock Bag.
