Tioman Trip With The Sisters

Assalamualaykum..

Mode "jalan-jalan" is on!! Hehehe.. Actually, just nak share my experience travelling with my 3 other sisters (Adik, Kim, Bib).. you see, I have 2 brothers and 4 sisters.. all of us love challenging activities and loooooovvvveeee travelling and jalan-jalan.. I guess, it's all started with my big bro, Abe Hazim.. my big bro is a back-packer.. in fact, dia adalah back-packer tegar, okay.. my sis-in-law pon dah berjangkit, in fact macho and 'handsome' Danial pon dah start back-packing at the age of TWO!!! urgghhh.. I've never been back-packing but would love to do so..

The initial plan was, family trip to Tioman together with my parents... but last minute, tak jadi coz maybe my mum is kinda easily tired nowadays due to the age factor.. so we decided to make it as our first "sisters trip".. unfortunately, our youngest one, Fatin, could not join us because "tak cukup umur" (it's for 18 and above.. hahaha!)..

Memang thrill and excited for the trip since Adik went to Panuba Inn, Tioman with her colleagues and she highly recommended us the place.. beautiful place with a good facilities, what else do you expect from an island..?

Journey begins.....

1st day (Thursday night - Friday, 1st july 2011)

Our journey started around 10pm.. we decided to go by bus to Mersing since it would add up extra adventure to our trip.. hahahah! So, big boss Abah sent us to Terminal Bersepadu Bandar Tasik Selatan (TBS-BTS) and we waited for our bus.. pergh, besar gile tempat tu.. and sangat stylo macam airport dah ghupenye..
I could see some eyes were looking at us.. maybe dalam otak memasing terpikir "ape la budak pompuan 4 org ni buat, bawak back-pack besor-besor tgh malam ni.." huhuhu.. macam omputih dalam Amazing Race pulak rasenye..
Bas Transnasional yang kitorang naik was kinda old.. sakit la jugak badan.. ade 4-5 org mamat Arab hidung mancung stok boleh sangkut hanger baju on the bus to the same destination, I would say.. memang cakap Arab and dok gelak-gelak bising sambil "bikin huru-hara, buat gila-gila".. eh.. ter-masuk chant Ultras la pulak.. ergh..
sepanjang perjalanan, the 4 sisters memang tido tak hengat!! huhuhu.. nothing gonna stop us..

Sampai ke terminal Mersing around 4.30am, Adik pon ajak berjalan ke jeti.. kitorang follow, kang tak ikut kan, derhaka pulak.. alih-alih, tak nampak rupa macam jeti pong! tukar arah, jalan ke bahagian depan.. Adik dah bagi alasan "malam la.. I tak sure sangat jalan ke sana, sebab gelap".. pergh!! memang bersenam la jugak kitorang pagi buta tu.. pastu, tanye la sorang Apek ni, dia bagitahu la jalan arah situ pastu lalu sini.. misteri : apehal Apek ni jalan-jalan pagi buta ni? bawak plastic bag and botol pulak tu..

Dalam 15 minit, sampai le ke jeti.. masuk surau, then sambung TIDO!!

Bangun pukul 7pg.. siap-siap solat (Allah tak dilupakan ye, para hadirin sekalian!) terus kuar carik makan.. ade gerai makan kat situ.. food = okay-okay je.. tapi dah lapar punye pasal, belasah je.. sementara tunggu feri pukul 10am..

10am feri dtg.. ramai org, full-house! tempat duduk kat dalam full so saye ngan Adik dok kat luar.. Panuba Inn Resort ni adalah second last stop.. last stop is Salang.. perjalanan dari jeti ke Panuba ade la dalam 2.5 ke 3 jam..

Sampai je ke Panuba Inn, terus terpaku.. Subhanallah, memang cantik tempat ni.. jeti kayu yang classic.. chalet pulak mengadap laut terus, bukak pintu dok kat balcony, mengadap laut yang membiru.. hadoi.. memang jatuh chenta laaa.. kitorang amik bilik SD (Super Durian).. ade 2 katil queen, so cukup la untuk kitorg 4 org.. air-cond best, toilet bersih.. pemandangan cantik.. lepas check in, turun makan.. harga makanan kat restaurant dia adalah standard harga makan kat pulau.. kitorang ingatkan mahal, so dah plan la konon nak ikat perut la, jimat tanak makan banyak-banyak la.. hampeh.. tengok je menu, harga not bad, terus pelahap semua.. but a must try menu is.. KOPI AIS!!! best !!! huhuhu.. after that, dalam pukul 5pm, masing-masing dah menggigil-gigil gian nak terjun laut.. tukar baju, sewa goggle, then terjun dari jeti.. mak ai!! memang best! ikan banyak, kelaparan kot.. asal bagi roti je , terus kerumun.. teringat plak time muda-muda dulu, bagi makan ikan kat Tasik Bandar kat UIA tu.. huhuhu.. dari jeti ni pon dah nampak macam-macam jenis ikan and coral.. huhuh..

Time terjun-terjun tu, ade la mamat-mamat yang mesra alam dok bertanya-tanya kat kitorang.. they thought, we are 4 good friends!! Kitorang ni nampak sebaya ke? So i told my sisters, Bib and Kim.. "either I ngan Kak La nampak muda, ataupon korang dua yang nampak tua.. hahaha!!" but actually, it was fun being with my sisters doing crazy and adventure things.. :)

Malam.. makan maggi and tido.. generate energy untuk pegi island hopping the next day..

Bangun pagi, buffet breakfast termasuk skali dalam pakej bilik.. dalam pukul 10am, naik bot pi snorkelling.. memang best, best, best... tak tau la nak citer camane, tengok je la gambar-gambar nanti..

Balik Panuba dalam pukul 4pm.. saye terus balik bilik n mandi.. my sisters, still lagi melompat dan bersnorkelling kat jeti.. tak puas lagi kot..

Malam , makan dan berjimba-jimba.. saye kalahkan Bib main chess.. kuikuikui.. tak pandai main pon, tapi nampaknye Bib lagi tak pandai main.. hahahha!

Next day, siap-siap nak balik.. sedih pulak rasanye.. sebab tak puas nak terjun dari jeti lagi.. especially time air tgh pasang.. hmmm.. gerak dari Panuba around 12noon, sampai Mersing dalam 2.30pm.. tunggu punye tunggu, bas dtg pukul 5.30pm.. sampai KL pukul 10pm..

Calculation for our trip :

tiket bas pergi balik : RM 70/pax = RM 280
tiket feri pergi balik : RM 70/pax = RM 280
bilik SD : RM 195 / night = RM 390
snorkelling trip : RM 85/pax = RM 340
makan-makan : cincai la dalam RM 100 sorang = RM 400

total loss = RM 1690 = RM 422.50 sorang..
total experience and joy gain = priceless....

for me, reasonable price le jugak memandangkan Panuba Inn ni adalah private beach, so limited guests and tranquil view.. u can even watch sunrise and sunset from your balcony..

comment : HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Enjoy the photos, people!!
