I'M BACK!!
And it was a.... relaxing trip. Okie fine. It was
boring.
Nothing to do, nothing to shop, nothing to see, basically, NOTHING. Yours truly went to Tioman, and if people tell you that it is a great place to go for a holiday, they are lying through their teeth and unless you are above the age of 45 and your daily schedule would be work work and more work with lunch consisting of take-aways or dry sandwiches, than Tioman would be the place for you. Other than that, I would strongly recommend that you stay away from that tiny spit of an island unless you want to experience what I have been through and what if feels like to be stranded on a deserted island with nothing more to do than to sleep.
Yes. It was
THAT bad. It was only a tinee winee bit away from being
Survivor Tioman. Well, for starters, yl and I were shocked at the size of the room. To add to the disappointment, we were given a warm welcome by a BIG FAT BLACK LIZARD, or should I say a miniature dragon? Afterall, that thing jumped/flew out. Maybe it was trying to flap its wings only to remember that it is a lizard? I mean, since when do lizards
Jump? It certainly seems like a great place for reptiles. I am scared of lizards, yl is
terrified of them. And that is Terrified with a capital T. Terrified. So we called housekeeping for some help and after four of the resorts' staff were activated, the fat ass was still not to be found. That night, I slept on the sofa instead of the bed cause the lizard was last spotted near my bed.
So yeah. There's nothing to do, no eye-candy except for yl and her korean
ajushi, and so our days on the beautiful island of Tioman were spent sleeping, suntanning which also included sleeping, eating and watching the vcds that yl brought. Even the channels in the resort were not of watching material. There was only one english channel and it was CNN. The rest of the channels were in malayu. How brilliant. We spent our pay for a trip that was boring-er than reading shakespear.
Ah whatever. I'm just glad to be home.
Oh and another thing. My brother told me that he got a new calculator, which cost...
$170!!Like WTH!!?!?! So much? But after looking at it, I kinda understand.

I mean, it has more buttons than my freaking remote control lah! Why the hell do you need such a high tech calculator which can draw graphs when you have your hand? Apparently, you can also play pokémon with it. Maths... I will never understand...
