Let's start our journey!! On the first day, we gathered at Terminal Bas Bersepadu at 8.10am. After having our breakfast, let's depart to Mersing! We took Transnational bus to Mersing. The bus ticket originally costs RM29.80. However, it will add on TV charges and others, then become RM38 but it's still acceptable. At 9.00am sharp, the bus departed. The whole journey will take around 5++ hours. During the journey, I watched 1 Hong Kong ghost movie but it is not scary. The very first time I watch movie in the bus in this way! Hahaha. After that, it was time to become a pig.. zzz...

Around 3++pm, we reached Mersing. All of us were hungry! Then we decided to eat KFC which is nearby the bus station. We need to walk about 5-10 minutes to reach Mersing Jetty. After we reached Mersing Jetty, we went to the counter of the resort that we have booked to redeem our ferry tickets with the vouchers. After we redeemed our tickets, we still have time. Then we walked around and bought some souvenirs. We need to purchase marine park ticket before departing to Tioman Island. The ticket prices are as the following :
For Malaysian
- Adult : RM10
- Student ( below 18 ) : RM8
- Student ( below 12 ) : RM5
- Child : RM5
For Foreigner
- Adult : RM25
- Child : RM12
THE FERRY SERVICE IS HORRIBLE!!!
Whole Tioman Island only got 1 ferry company. They always delay!! This is what the staff told us and they really delayed on that day! We waited for more than 1 hour. There was very hot and I almost wanted to jump into the sea!! LOL. I just really don't like, should say HATE hot. Finally the ferry came, but got people jump queue. Please don't learn them. We learnt moral. Hahaha. After get into the ferry, we turn right. It was a wrong choice because the back part of ferry was too noisy with the machine sound. The machine sound was too annoying and irritating. That's why i can't sleep in the ferry. Lol.
Finally, we reached Paya Beach Spa & Dive Resort at 7.30pm. The sunset view was amazing! The sky was pink! I'm so damn lucky to see this. Not everyday has such beautiful sunset. Sky is always amazing and sea is always mysterious. I love them so much! ♥

| This is what I captured but the colour is different from what I saw. |
After we checked-in, we had our buffet dinner. Quite many choices to choose. Not bad. Hah. After dinner, we walked around the resort. To explore photo shooting place maybe? Hahah. A quite surprising thing for me, there are many Japanese books in the room beside that reception counter. Erika found Nana and I found 神風怪盗ジャンヌ (Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne), such a memorable comic! But I can't read. Sad.
It was time to swim! Yup. Swim at night. A very first try. A good try too. Hah. I should buy a underwater camera instead of borrowing it from my uncle. Then only I can use it whenever I want to. Selfie time in the swimming pool. Lol. Hahaha.
 |
| After swimming, another selfie haha |
After bath, we played tarot cards. The most craziest thing is we played until 2++am. LOL. How can we so geng? Hahaha.
 |
| See, Erika like macam yes! Or maybe memang yes? Haha |
The next morning, we woke up at 6++am and ate breakfast at 7am. After breakfast, we were going to prepare for snorkelling!! Hooray!! :D After we had changed our swim suit, we went to activity centre to rent mask, life jacket. The rental fee is RM15. Paya Beach doesn't provide power mask. So, yea. Prepare your own power mask.

When we waited at the jetty, we realised we forgot to bring marine park ticket. So Eunice and I ran back to our room as fast as possible as the boats gonna depart but they didn't check. Lol. So here is a little reminder: REMEMBER TO BRING TICKET.

After snorkelling, we had our buffet lunch. Buffet lunch has less choices if compare with breakfast and dinner. I think this is because they only provide 1 lunch in the package. Besides that, there are restaurants nearby, so i think some tourists might go for them.
After lunch, we took bath and later was our photo shooting time. Hahaha. We used up 1 hour to wear the batik. 1 hour. Lol. Faint.
Wearing batik not really comfortable, unless you really prepare well (tube, pin and etc) So, very obvious that I'm not prepare well, hahahaha. So we changed another dress and started our second photo session.

| Why can't she (Carmen) just go to be a model? Hahaha. So sok~ |

| Another lenglui (Eunice) who is sexy and cute at the same time~~ |
The sunset on the second day was not as beautiful as first day. Quite disappointed. Sad. Never mind, I still have many chances to see sunset~
After dinner, it was girls' time. That means keng sam si, lol. I think it is a MUST HAVE session for girls' trip. For such session, alcoholic drinks are the MUST HAVE items. So,we bought 4 bottles of Hooch (if not mistaken, I can't really remember the name lol). Apple flavour is nice but lemon flavour is zzz...
 |
| 1 bottle each |
We went to beach club also! We ordered 4 cocktails. I only can remember Tequila Sunrise and Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary is so horrible. Yup, I used the word "horrible". The taste like drinking chilli. Gosh... Pity Carmen :(

Seriously, I don't think I got drunk. Hahaha. The very first time I think my 酒量 is good. Yeah! :P After we went back to our room, we sang birthday song for Carmen and recorded video as well. A crazy and silly video. Hah. Then we slept since we were tired and "drunk". Lol.
So fast, it was the last day to stay in Tioman Island. It is time to go back to reality, such a torture. Life with NON-STOP assignments and exams say hi to me AGAIN. Haiz. No choice. This is 成功的必經之路. So, fighting!
After breakfast, we went to the activity centre to return our snorkelling equipment. When we checked-out, the staff asked us to give back them their towel at the reception counter. LOL. WHY SO FUNNY. Hah.
We were waiting for the 9.30am ferry but the ferry only came at 10.45am I think. Delay is the biggest problem in Tioman Island unless you choose to go there by flight. Luckily, we still managed to take the 12.30pm bus to go back. If not, I think we need to wait until 6pm or 6.30pm (Transnational Bus).
Around 6.45pm, we reached Terminal Bas Bersepadu and then I took KTM to go home. Home sweet home.
SO YEA. THIS IS MY TIOMAN TRIP WITH MY LOVESSS
