Kapas...

bk fr pulau kapas..lots o mosquito bites...& i got tis terrible swollen toe/foot fr a ant bite..so itchy & swollen...haizzz...

not exactly a v nice place at p. kapas...1st, e journey there took 10hrs by coach...den we dropped off at tis wu lu place when e sun was not out yet, ard 6am & e street lights were not working..it was complete darkness...we had 2 walk 500m 2 tis little village call marang....& we napped in a little pavilion until there was light...

e pple were really slack...6+ still no1 in sight...until 7+ den pple started work...we had a nice nasi ayam & teh...but e speedboat was still not opened...so i had a snooze in e pavilion...almost 845 den e boat was ready...e speedboat ride was fast...only 15mins....

there was construction gg on on e island...a new resort coming up...

we chked in & got 2 out chalet...it was not exactly v nice...cos e beds looked a bit dirty... e bedsheet had brown bloodstains..eeeeeeeeeee.....

e tv only had 1 channel...thk gdness e toilet looked ok...but as usu, no hot water....

e weather was gd..but i didnt get a v gd nite slp on e coach...so i had a nap b4 i got up...shld 've gone 4 a dive cos e current didnt look tt strong & e vis was reasonable gd...

we had a walk ard e island...there was hardly anybody ard...it was really v v quiet..

we walked bk 2 e resort & decided 2 go snorkel...there was a super big puffer & 2 smaller puffers...also quite a big o fishes...

not a lot o things 2 do at nite....& we had 2 wait 1 hr 4 our dinner...we walked alng e beach 1ing 2 c if we had any luck o seeing turtles comin up e shore 2 lay eggs...bot no luck...a lot o mosquitoes...so we went bk 2 e chalet & had e air-con on full blast...

e 2nd day was bad...after bfast, it rained...our diving trip was cancelled cos e water vis was low...we walked ard, suntanned...zo bo 4 a while...den we decided 2 go 4 sotong catching (we exchanged it wif our complimentary 2 snorkelling trip)...when we got 2 e counter, there was another family o 6 who were gg 2...& 1 o e lady say tt e sotong catching will end at 3am! it was barely 6pm...& we were gg out on a small fishing boat...i was terrified...they were gg 2 go out in open sea in a mini fishing boat...i wld never survive tt... we decided agst it....& instead we had our dinner & strolled 2 e jetty where we saw pple fishing & catchin sotong...

we retired early...it was pouring when we got bk 2 e chalet...heng we didnt go 4 e sotong catching...

e 3rd day we decided 2 go 4 our diving regardless o e vis...we went 2 e octopus reef...e current was so strong...e swells were scary...but i managed it...e vis wasnt spectacular...but it was ok...there wasnt a lot o things 2 c...most o e stuff were brown & dying...quite a few nudibranches we saw...& a new 1, e magnificent chromodoris...

& i saw tis super big parrotfish! which none o e rest saw...i guess they were busy looking 4 other things while e parrotfish swam by...& there was tis cute stonefish...still a baby i guess...but e camera didnt really capture it well...or rather it camouflaged itself really well...


we finished e dive...i 1ed 2 go 4 a 2nd 1...but e DM was rather not enthu...so we decided agst it...we had our lunch & slacked on e beach...we still haven used our 2 complimentary snorkelling trip so we exchanged it 4 kayaking...we kayaked 2 tt pte beach & HN went snorkelling while i made a sand turtle on e beach...hhaha...HN came bk & started 2 draw his "cute art" on e sand...hahha...gradually more pple came by wif their kayaks...& started 2 draw on e sand also...hahah...


we had a little swim b4 we kayaked bk 2 e resort...tis was e last nite at e resort...

we didnt venture out cos there were a lot o construction workers on e island..not v safe wif juz e 2 o us...& most o e places were quite dark & quiet...


we had 2 get up early in e morn also cos e bus bk 2 singapore leave at 9am fr e tregganu bus terminal...we had 2 pay extra RM50 4 e early morning speedboat & another RM30 4 e ride 2 e bus terminal...
