Sentosa Island, Singapore



Pada tanggal 21th march, aku bersama kakak kakak ku, adik ku yg comel lotek sorang tu, anak2 ku dan anak2 saudaraku, juga tidak ketinggalan Nabil, anak angkat ani, pergi berkelah ke pulau sentosa. Kami kesana dengan menaiki MRT. Kami tukar MRT dari Outram ke Harbour Front. Dari Harbour Front pula kami ke tingkat 3Vivo City untuk menaiki sentosa express. Mak oi punya lah jauh perjalanan. Tapi tak mengapa, yang penting kami sampai juga akhirnya.

Kami harus mempunyai tiket untuk menaiki sentosa express. Setelah kami semua melepasi entrance masuk ke sentosa express, tiba tiba kami sedari Ifa masih belum lepas. rupa-rupanya Jaja beli tiket kurang satu. Malangnya Ifa lah yg telah menjadi mangsa. Nasib dia tak nanggis. Kalau tidak banjir lah sentosa. Mereka menyuruh Ifa masuk dari bawah saja untuk menembusi entrance itu. Nasib baik Ifa tidak menurutinya. Kalau tidak keesokkan harinya pasti muka kami terpampang di front page New Paper...hahaha! Apabila keadaan sudah lengang, one of the staff datang kepada kami dan menanyakan tentang masaalah kami. Kami pun nyatakan pada beliau lalu dgn baik hati beliau menawarkan diri untuk membelikan Ifa tiket. Lega rasanya kerana Q untuk membeli tiket panjang sekali. Selepas itu segala-galanya berjalan dgn lancar. Kami pun teruskan perjalanan kami ke palawan beach.

Di sana kami jumpa satu spot yg baik. Yg ada mandi laut, yg ada duduk2 saja. Hari itu Mak ikan duyung pun mandi ( tau lah siapa):-)

Ok lah, seterus nya biarlah gambar gambar ini yang akan menceritakan selanjutnya. Marilah kita tatapinya bersama.

Holiday To Pulau Besar Johor

On the 13th March 2008, my family, Asnah(my sister), Marina, Loraine, Nizam (my nephew) and me went to Pulau Besar Johor for holiday. My intention to go there is to release stressed and to relax. Pulau Besar is one of the best place for that. It is one of the beautiful island that I have ever known. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Besar Island (formerly known as Pulau Babi Besar) is an island off the east coast of Johor, Malaysia. It is accessible by boat from Mersing town (approximately 30 minutes). The island's highest point rises some 2,000 feet above the sea level.

The island which is surrounded by Rawa Island, Sibu Island and Tinggi Island is characterized by quiet, clean beaches of powdery white sand and crystal-clear azure waters.[citation needed] To preserve the unspoiled marine life, the Government has gazetted it as a marine park to protect around 60 species of marine life from any activities that can harm their natural habitats within 2 nautical miles around the island.

Rich hues of wild vegetations are dappled throughout with the lush greens of the coconut palms and tropical jungles. There are about 7 - 8 small villages that are still populated by around 100 friendly dwellers who are mostly fishermen.

A local myth was about a fisherman couple who transformed into mermaids. This legend is so popular among the local folks that they believed at one time, a pregnant fisherman's wife was craving for a kind of seaweed, that is plentiful in the Mersing waters. After eating, she turned into a mermaid and the heartbroken husband became one too after eating the same seaweed. Until today, it is claimed that mermaids floating in couples can sometimes be spotted eating seaweed around the island.

This island got its former name, Pulau Babi Besar, (directly translated as "Big Boars Island") from the numerous wild boars that roamed the island before man inhabited the place. Nowadays, there is not a single boar on the island and thus, the island was renamed as Besar Island.

We accomodated at D'coconut Island Resort.

D'coconut Island Resort is a tropical paradise situated on the island of Pulau Besar, Johor. The island is surrounded by crystal clear water, fine white sandy beaches and colourful coral reefs, which is a haven for snorkellers.

Pulau Besar is surrounded by many beautiful islands.
Visitors to D'coconut Island Resort will be able to visit the nearby islands of Pulau Mensirip, Pulau Hujung, Pulau Rawa, Pulau Harimau, and even Pulau Tengah which Expedition Robinson was filmed. Divers will be able to dive at Jahat Aut, Sakit Mata, Mata Tikus and Rawa Island.

LETS ADMIRE THE PHOTOS TOGETHER....
