Tioman Getaway 4D3N

It's time to blog about the recent getaway before I get busy this coming Friday
I'll be flying again to Kuala Lumpur this time to reminisce the time I was still studying
I was in KL for 3 years to complete my degree before settling down in Singapore

Acclaimed as one of the best island getaways in the world, Tioman is about 56km off the coast of Pahang, an alluring holiday paradise not only for scuba divers, it has options for every kind of holiday-maker: families with small children, honeymooners, backpackers, and adventurers like me (:

Tioman is a beautiful, popular and affordable holiday destination which costs us less than SGD 250 for a 4D3N free and easy trip.
Easily accessible via bus/cab and ferry to the island itself. Unfortunately we left Singapore on a long weekend, we didn't catch a bus from Larkin to Mersing that day. So, we actually cabbed there. One way costs us RM200.

We were glad that we managed to reach Mersing on time. We roamed around the town area before we board the ferry to Tioman. There's a KFC outlet at the end of the shoplots. We headed there for lunch and then shopped at the RM2 one stop shop nearby the jetty.

Thankfully we bought enough cup noodles and some cookies for the weekend.
The ferry took approximately 1.5 hours to reach its first stop at Kampung Genting. We alighted and walk bout 5minutes to our resort.

We booked Aguna Resorts as it has lesser criticism on Trip Advisor. It turned out to be a good stay though. No roaches or rats. Spiders and mosquitoes are quite common though as long as it's not black widow or tarantula.
        

   

 We had cup noodles.. cheap and good for supper

 Their Ramli Burger available everywhere on the island

Nasi Paprik not available in Singapore
Nostalgic dish that tasted different on every stalls we visited
I remembered I had this for almost daily dinner when I stayed in my hostel
Kinda miss it a lot (:

 On day 2, we jungle trekked from Kampung Genting to Kampung Paya
 We climbed for approximately 1.5 hours
 We had a slow pace walk on a cloudy afternoon

 Fortunately no monkeys disturb us on our way

 The view from mountain top

 Finally we managed to make out way to Kampung Paya

 I love this station here
 It was lovely for sure

 We didn't dine in this cafe because it was located near the sandy area
 And we prefer sea view as well
 So we ended up here in one of the Malay stall

It was a hard decision when it comes to food
As usual I will grab my orange juice drinks
To quench my thirst while waiting for my food to come

Without much hesitation I ordered the Nasi Paprik again
I would regret if I don't when I come back to Singapore

 We didn't want to walk back to Kampung Genting
 Therefore we took sea taxi back
 They charged us RM25/per person for 1 way ride
 It was about 8minutes ride

We reached in a blink of an eye
Completed the hike and feel proud of myself
Of course with the company of 2 other friends in slippers (OMG!)

Have some dip in the water before head for dinner

After the hike we sit around the lobby to use their wifi

Frankly their wifi really sucks ttm

The connections kept disconnect

Anyway, we don't bother and proceeded with our Zenga game

 We anxiously waited for the sunset but dreams didn't come true
 There were no sunset that day cause there were too much clouds
 Sob Sob!

 Again with my favourite dish - Nasi Paprik

This is my breakfast for the 3 days stay in Aguna

I am very picky when it comes to food

I couldn't eat their noodle - Bee tai bak

I couldn't eat the kuih - contains peanuts/ coconut

So I ended up with toast with cheese and butter

Fat die ah put so much butter on my bread
Flooding it with fats but who cares I can still afford it haha

It is our snorkelling day today
And we headed out early
9 of us on the boat and we ventured out of our comfort zone
After that I found that my nails coming out soon
Ouch!
But I carried on haha

We didn't managed to take much pictures as everyone was tired

So the last night here we spent taking pictures on the beach

The constellations at night

Simply breath-taking

Day 1 - Depart to Mersing
Day 2 - Jungle trekking
Day 3 - Snorkelling + Island hopping
Day 4 - Back to Singapore

We had lotsa fun all the way
Thanks to my mates
They were willing to go crazy with me
Million thanks from the bottom of my heart
