first kelong trip in malaysia

came back from Malaysia!! went on kelong trip yesterday (Saturday, 13/6) morning till today afternoon and only arrived in Singapore in the evening.

Day 1 (13/6)

left home around 6am! began our trip to Malaysia. dad drove up to some state and we went to a jetty to board ferry. ferry trip took us half an hour to reach the kelong. the name of the kelong is "hotboys fishing kelong".

we dumped our belongings on our bed then began exploring around. its just like a bungalow just that its a single story on the sea. not long after that, they began serving our lunch. not bad. there were fish, meat, prawn, vegetable, soup, rice! quite a wide spread! it's better than some of our camps lunch with food serve not warm.

played card games after eating then parents taught my brother and i mahjong! FINALLY, i know how to play mahjong!! I'm not pro like my grandparents though. i would surely lose a lot of money while playing with them or else get scolded as i play slow.

the weather changed drastically. there was an impending 'storm' heavy rain. it's freaking cold! the wind practically could bite into your bones!

then dinner was served around 5 or 6pm! it's so fast! the lunch in my stomach haven't finish digesting! anyway, dinner was about the same too.

we walked around. there were tonnes of stars in the sky! my first time looking at thousands of stars! i LOVE the sky there. the sea breeze and stars. so cooool! anyway, the fluorescent lights are still quite bright! you wouldn't be able to see the stars very clearly.

had supper. they cooked noodles, fried rice and green bean soup! i liked the noodles and green bean soup! =D the green bean soup weren't so sweet. just great to me!

slept early! like around 10.30pm after supper!! will be like a pig if i stay too long in the kelong! it's just tooooo relaxing!


Day 2 (14/6)

woke up very early. auto body clock. woke up just early enough to see the sunrise! =D there were people waking up earlier than us, already fishing. or perhaps... they didn't sleep at all?

had breakfast. some kind of porridge. taste nice though. hot and nice! how great is that. better than camps. HAHA. oh ya anyway, there are free flow of tea, coffee and plain water in the kelong! so drink all you want! when the porridge are all eaten up, noodles came! and ya, whenever there are food that are left there like buffet for people to eat, during supper and breakfast, the food just like wipe out in the matter of minutes!

wait for a little boat to fetch us for island hopping! heading to Pulau Sibu. just a little island where we will spend 1 hour. luckily it's just 1 hour. there is practically nothing there except the clear waters at the shore. i didn't spend much time at the beach! i'm just toooooo afraid of sandflies! when a sand fly bite you, an average time to heal is 1 year!! 1 YEAR yes, it's a year not days or weeks!!! that's why i'm scared of sandflies!

back to kelong to bathe. ate lunch same dishes - prawn, fish, meat, vegetables, rice. different fish and meat through. yet, somehow the cooking style of vegetables and prawn are the same.

packed up and we head home!!! HOME SWEEEEEEEEET HOME! =D
