Pangkor Dangerous

[Sher's Saga of events]

I am tanned, and I got a self-inflicted-upon-self-funny-fringe-haircut;phew. So anyways, yea...I wanted to write a bit about how our Pangkor trip went about:from my POV. We left from Taylor's on a Monday ( which was still a college day for some others, loaded with luggage and with some sort of-in your face haha we're on a holiday mood evil smiles on our faces; at least that was what I had with me before we left. ) Now the idiotic part about the trip for me, was how I forgot my cam memory card and had to strive on only 10 pics in my camera, so I guess this should be the first time I leave pic-taking to others, and decided to capture undefinable, and unmaterialised fond memories than to have captured boxed and scrutinised pics of people and places; Nah, who am I kidding, I'm just trying to cover up. Anyways, Pangkor was dangerously enjoyable and in case you're wondering why the hack is it dangerous? It's only because we watched Bangkok Dangerous in the bus, and thought it was such a cool catch phrase =D. Anyways, yea...on the first day we took a bus trip up north to the jetty in Pangkor. On the way, we stopped by a restaurant famous for their Duck Noodles; so they say. Took the ferry across, and voila...Viva La' Pangkor. We stayed at the Coral Bay Resort apartments: in which if I'm correct I stayed there before about 5 years ago maybe...but Pangkor has changed A LOT since then. 

Tuesday came, and went Island-hopping! We snorkelled a wee bit, but the fishes weren't as visibly clear as it was in Redang, nevertheless...I still love being in the outdoors, and in the waters regardless. Later, under the eye of the fierce and scorching sun ( yes trying to impress to you how HOT it was ), we went fishing by the shallow waters. We caught a few fishes, and about an hour later brought it to a private shore to cook, and eat it. Oh yea, about the fishing experience, our care-taker/guide caught a sea cucumber in which later it ( NOT THE GUY I MEAN )  started GUSHING OUT ALL OF ITS INTESTINES, BLOOD, FAECES AND ALL THE OTHER INSIDES you don't wanna know...because it couldn't stand being out of water ( ok, sorry you had to read that...but it was disgusting, if I knew more about sea cucumbers I WOULD NOT HAVE WANT TO SEE IT REACT LIKE THAT ). Later, we all had our banana boat rides, it was nice...and a few of us kinda got bruised a bit when we landed on each other.Tuesday was nice. 

Wednesday came, and some of us rented bikes for RM6/day. We literally covered half the Island of Pangkor;so to say we met the dead end of the Island and had to turn back. Half way cycling on a bright and sunny turned cloudy day, it rained so heavily. Multi-tasking: cycling and bathing in the rain, we braved our journey back to the apartment. I was cycling the slowest, and I mean seriously: cycling in that 2 hours was about the most exercise I ever got this year. Personally, when I first got unto the bike I was pretty scared of cycling unto the main road, with other motorists. Plus, most of the scars that I previously got when I was younger was because I fell from a bike, from climbing, running...and the sorts. 

Thursday: the day we were leaving for home. On the way home, we stopped by the hot springs in Kuala Klah. It was hot;haha. Painful too for me, because just the day before I got some nasty red-ant bites on my toes. Came back on Thursday, and I took the whole Friday for my aching back, arms, legs and soar throat to heal. In a nutshell, Pangkor was enjoyable, I ate so much seafood in a few days I could almost literally judge the taste in my head and I now know, that I should not be a ding-dong to forget my memory card. Thanks for the awesome trip, peeps...I'm off now, maybe someone else should edit/add to the saga of events from their POV too =).
