Hello 2011

2011

New Year’s Eve without solution

Just keep it this way

The Happy Prince

Last month, a good friend of mine came to visit me.
Indeed, it was extremely short visit, but the meaning was there.
It was great to see her after almost two years the miles separated us.
She brought a great present for me; The Happy Prince and Other Stories.

It’s been a long time since I read children’s books.
The pleasure’s there.
These fairy tales from Oscar Wilde make me believe that there is a good thing in life.
A good heart will always be comforting,
Sharing,
Caring,
And most importantly that life is good.

The Devoted Friend has made me realize that friendship is about take and give.
I’ve been thinking a lot about friendship; observing how people behave around me, contributing in love and hate relationship..
This book helped me to think in more positive ways.

Oh how I love fairy tales..
I’ve had enough Prince Charming and Princess stories,
I missed this kind of fairy tales.
A good heart,
Think about others,
You’re not alone..

If you,
By any chance is dropping by in this blog and having a terrible life at the moment,
Go to the nearest bookstore,
Find some children's books,
Read this kind of fairy tales (forget about those Cinderella’s stories).

These stories are overwhelming.
Read and enjoy those books, because life is good.

:D

Perhentian Island

I went to Perhentian Island on July.
I know I’m supposed to update it in my blog, but laziness was there.

Perhentian Island was great. I had a lot of fun with C. We were planning to sit around the white sandy beach, reading some books and just enjoy the days. Yes, we made it.

We did some research and we chose Shari-la Hotel at Perhentian Kecil. The hotel was great; it’s quite affordable and satisfying. We could take a small walk to the beach in front of Bubu long beach. Its only 10-15 mnts walk.

Because of this and that, we could not get a direct bus from KL to Kuala Besut, hence we need to stop at Kuala Trengganu then only continue to Kuala Besut.

We arrived in Kuala Trengganu around 5 in the morning, because I couldn’t wait any longer, we decided to take a random bus to Kuala Besut. It was a yellow bus and it cost around 8-10 ringgit. Unfortunately, the driver was really unfriendly. I noticed along the way, it seems like we passed by village full with Malay. Charlie and I were wondering, is it because we’re Chinese so the driver acted like that? But seriously, he ignored us most of the time and he was so friendly with other Malay passengers. Ok, let’s forget about that.

Finally, we arrived around 11pm. We checked in and went for lunch. The package was 455 for 3D/2N, it included the one snorkeling trip around Perhentian Island, Bfast, lunch and dinner, boat transfer and so forth. The food was acceptable, the typical Malay food; Tom Yam, Chicken and etc.. The ambience was good; blue sky, white sandy beach and blue ocean. We had lunch straight away, there’s a white guy tried to play Soul Sister with his Ukulele, the lunch was perfect and romantic with the free Ukulele performance.

After lunch, we sat down in Shari-La’s private beach. It was quite and comforting. I wrote this on my journal;

The happiest day..
The saddest day..
Things will come; the highs and the lows.
Are you ready?
Which way should I choose?
I hate changing.
I hope I can keep this FOREVER.
White sandy beach,
I’ve forgotten about yesterday,
And there’s no tomorrow.
Today,
watching the clear blue skies with you in my arms.

Moreover, we decided to take a walk to the long beach. Long beach was fun, the beach is extremely clean and you can go further to the sea and it’s still clear without any small stones or whatsoever.

We enjoyed the day with laze around the beach, read books, watched people playing ping pong, football and swam in the sea.


Second day, we went for snorkeling trip. That was my first snorkeling trip and I’m not really good in swimming. Charlie had to push me several time.

Oh well, I shouldn’t talk any longer.

Perhentian Island was great. From the snorkeling guide I heard that Perhentian Besar is a good place to escape from your routine. Perhentian Island selling point is on the coral, diving and snorkeling while Redang Island is nicer in term of the white sandy beach.

I hope I can go to Maldives anytime soon (*wink to C)..
