i just got back from damai laut last night, fyi it's in lumut (somehwhere near pangkor). those who's been to OBS might know where it is but to others who are not from perak, i get a lot of 'damai laut where?'
it is a nice place for a short holi, away from city life. but one needs to get used to the insects, particularly flies and lizards. those who know me well know how fond i am of lizards right? just imagine.. but other than the insects, everything was superb.. even if the hotel doesnt provide us drinkin water on a daily basis(they claimed that they give once only-when we checked in). imagine if we're living here for a week. drink water from the river ar?siao one.
actually, the reason why we went to this ulu place for a break was bcoz i got a voucher for a 3d2n stay in swiss garden. but when we arrived, they gave us the apartment. its a studio apartment, which means its pretty large with a king sized bed, sofa set, dining table, kitchen etc. however, the place wasn't in its best condition.
when i went to pass urine, the toilet seat had a crack and my poor ass got pegged in between the crack and bliv me when i said it hurts it hurts. more than by lil butterfly tattoo. but thank god it was the crack, coz for a sec i thought some insect bit me at my bump.
and then hy discovered a lizard hiding behind his towel after shower, and then that was it i guess. oh yeah, there was also a single fly roaming around in our apartment. we drove to the next resort, also managed by swiss garden and it was beautiful. the layout is the typical resort style- balinese inspired to be exact. reminded us so much about our bali resort.
and we asked whehter they could upgrade out room from the apartment to one of the rooms in the resort and they said they need to call the hq bla bla bla. as expected la.. then my city bf asked the manager to just book us a room for 2 nights and just forget about the earlier voucher coz he cant stand the apartmnet.
seriously speaking, if u ask me, im really fine with it. i mena, if im supposed to pay, i would stay in the resort of coz. but if its free, the apartment's good for me. i mena, its better than sri sayang, and whats important is its FREE.
the manager was a nice guy, he got us a sea-facing room and its spectacular. our verandah looks out to the sea and since we're in the west coast, we get to see sunset!!
we drove to setiawan for dinner for both nights and the town is so small. the town encompasses 3 main roads, eg; penang raod, macalister road and burmah road. just that their roads are 10 times shorter than all those roads ive mentioned. it's impossble to even get lost there!
to sum it all, we went for snorkelling, went to pangkor island, fish feeding, kayaking, archery, cycling. its not my typical holiday as the only shopping i did involves fish keropoks. ish.
u know what? i was snorkeling with puffer fish. u know the poisonous fish that only a licensed jap chef can cut? yuppers!! i was sooo darn scared that it'll bite me. to those that went to payar with me, u remembered how i got bitten by those harmless small fishes? and i bled. damnit. they thought i was some yummy white bread.
and for our boat trip, there was another couple. a malay and angmo. the angmoh looks damn man and the malay guy looks a bit sissy-fied.but beyond the soft spoken manner, he's actually good lookin. more to the pretty boy kind.. hehe. but its kinda cute to watch them. the malay guy kept takin pics of the angmoh, as if he's such a huge fan like that..
i kinda like archery. hahaha maybe coz i managed to shoot. lol. wa wa wa. it's quite fun la. hehehe. okie, i found somthing i like. who wanna go to arhcery with me???
pics are up on facebook. but there's more from hy's camera.
and meimei: *huggies* me loves u!!! now u know how come i was sleepin when u called at 11 plus, super tired.
