Faith ♥ Hope: Pangkor Island

Last sunday morning(11/1), mom woke me up at 0630. Then, i got ready, put my toothbrush in my bag and brought all my bags downstairs. We left house around 0720. We were heading off to Pangkor Island. We started our journey and stopped in Sungai Petani for breakfast. After breakfast, we continued our journey. We finally arrived in Lumut where the jetty was at 1130. We had missed the first ferry so we waited for the next one at 1345. Meanwhile, we found a place to park and headed off to a chinese coffee shop for lunch. Fried rice, bihoon and so on. By 1315, we waited at the jetty and dad brough the ferry tickets for all of us. We were staying at Pangkor Island Beach Resort and it has a special ferry to go there because it was lik the other side of the island where it has a private beach. It wasnt the normal one that arrived at Pangkor Town. We got on the ferry and choose a place to sit. Cousins wanted to sit on the outside so they can have a better view and they wouldnt feel so dizzy on it.Finally we arrived at Pangkor Island. There was a bus who was waiting for us and took us and the other tourists to the hotel. We checked into our rooms and rest for awhile before going for a dip in a pool. It has been almost 1 year since i last swim and i got to wear my new swimsuit for the first time. I swam with my cousins and played with them in the beach. At aorund 1800, i got out of the pool and went up to the room for a shower. 1830, we waited at the feeding station to see hungry hornbills eating their dinner. While looking at them enjoying their dinner, our stomach growled, giving us signal that we are also hungry. So we headed off the the restaurant for dinner. They were serving International Buffets. We ate til we were all so full. By the time we finished eating, it was already 2100. After a heavy dinner, we went to the beach for a walked. And saw a couple were having a candle light dinner in a little hut by the swimming pool and their table was facing towards the beach, so they had a good view of the beautiful beach. Dad told us that it cost at least RM500 to have dinner lik this. Walau eh, so expensive! I personally would rather spent that money on other things rather than a dinner. haha. Anyway, afterthat it was bedtime.

The next morning, we woke up at 0730 because my uncle has to go jungle trekking at 0900. So basically, he needs to eat a little and let it digest before the jungle trekking. If not, he needed to carry an extra 'spare tyre' uphill. Breakfast was also buffet. We enjoyed our breakfast again til we were overloaded. The boys and I went down to the beach and played. They even caught a few small crabs and saw some dead fishes on the shore since it was low tide at time. Then, we went swimming again. This time, dad played ball with us til my uncle came back from his jungle walk. Then we all went back to our rooms for a showered After a showered, dad went to the lobby to asked for a taxi. The taxi arrived within 2 minutes. Fast right? Anyway, he took us on a tour around Pangkor Island, told us about the history and made many calls that tried to get us in a seafood restaurant but they were all closed. Many shops in Pangkor are only opened on weekends because that is when most people from the main land would come over for a relaxing trip. Since it was a weekday and school has already reopened, many shops were closed. We saw lots of wild monkeys on the trip too. In Pangkor Island, there are no fast food restaurant or cinemas. The town of Pangkor Island consists of only 2 streets and i didnt see any shopping malls. In 2 hours, we finished touring the whole of Pangkor Island. and the extra hour we had lunch in a coffee shop. After the tour, parents and I took a short nap in our rooms while my aunty's family played ping pong and went canoe-ing. At around 4 sumthing, dad and I went for a swim. After that, our cousins joined in and we played in the beach again. They caught lots of shells that looks lik 'lala' but i m not sure what it was. Then, it was dinner time by the poolside. After dinner, it was again a walk at the beach where dad caught a huge crab. Then, it was bedtime.

Everybody woke up late that morning and it was the last day there. We had breakfast and again a dip in the pool. While we were swimming in the pool, my unlce came from the beach and called us. He took us to the beach and saw a few hundreds of crabs coming out from the beach and they was digging holes into the sand. It was absolutely so cool ! Afterthat,we packed everything and left the hotel by 1145. Got onto a ferry and reached the jetty. Dad drove the car to the jetty and picked us up and was heading off the Petaling Jaya. However, dad couldnt find a way out to the highway so we took the old road all the way to rawang and went into the highway and reached home around 1800. It was the end of our trip to Pangkor Island=)

We really had a great time in Pangkor Island especially the time in the pool and the beach. Not to forget the 4 delicious buffets we had.
