after a dozen rounds of uno,it was time for another dip in d sea. asrul mengelat n didn't join us swimming (jaga kulit la tu). so der were six of us swimming and jumping into d waves bcoz where we came from, der isn't any sea. .it mustve been half past 6 wen suddenly asrul came down fr d room to call adie while d rest of us slowly went up shore. it seems d conductor had went up to our rooms as he'd like to take us on 'sunset discovery'. d day before while sipping my soda on d beach, I didn't get a glimpse of d sunset so I assumed we'd have to take quite a tour to see it. if it were up to me, I wudnt wanna go bcoz it was nearing dusk (senja2 x elok duk kt luar). But since evryone was going on their 'sunset discovery' i jus went with it.

in my beach bag,I carried a tshirt n since we had to catch d sunset (among othr thngs we wanted to catch),i put on d tshirt over my wet swimming costume and we all started our journey. d tour was supposed to take '10mins' and i cudnt wait to get to d spot. first it was a walk along d beach, then we had to go thru some resort in d hutan but it was ok (at first) considering it was all flat but mid way, we discovered knee lenght lalang (and my imagination was running xtra wild - takut ok!!) n further up we had to go up hill, then down hill, then some more up hill, which I thnk mustve taken more than 10mins. going up hill, i truly regretted falling for d '10mins' trick becoz not only we were tired fr snorkeling and swimming in d sea, we were all wet. d lead was going so fast prolly becoz he has 'never' seen sunset on d island not even bothering to look out for d slow folks at d back. wen d gap between us and d ppl in front of us grew, i panicked coz I'm imagining d tv series 'lost' (yes I'm a scaredy cat). wen we finally got at d back of d island, nas n kai decided to hang out on d jetty where d rest of us climbed up quite a lot of stairs to get d so called better view. fine, d view was magnificent but d journey was rather scary for me.

after spending 30mins or so up der watching d sunset, it was time to go back to our resort. it mustve been 730pm then we started going down d stairs and I was scared thnking bout going thru wat we had went thru to get der. i was looking for nas n kai wen suddenly I noticed they were sitting on a bench nearby (nas muka x puas hati time ni sbb jd dinner for mosquitos). as we approached then, she told me she had inquired about d water taxi, meaning instead of having to walk thru d jungle in d dark with barely any light, we cud take a boat home (to d resort). i quickly agreed to dat, as I wasn't gona take d risk of goin thru d knee lenght lalang in d dark. since it wasn't 'safe' for d ladies to walk in d jungle at nite, only asrul n adie walked back with d rest of d group. d fare for d water taxi is rm15 per pax but neither of us carried d cash so d driver agreed to b paid once we arrived at our destination.

Unlike d boat we went on during d day which is big, tis is really small, jus like a sampan, only motorized. all 5 of us jumped into d boat with me, mail n ana sitting in d middle, nas n kai at d frontest part, and d driver steering at d back. d journey started really nicely as it wasn't completely dark (yet) and d sea was calm and d ride was breezy. nas said we cud even tour d island if we wanted (nk ke??). it was all fine and nice until we were on another side of d island. Looking for adventure? d sea started to get rough and evrytime we hit a wave, we were sending off jumping and with nothing to hold on to (in my case I was holding ana's n mail's arm) and it doesn't get any worse than tis bcoz we weren't given life jackets to put on wen we got on our ride! among us 5, kai is prolly d strongest swimmer, and in case we drowned, he wudnt b able to save us all. so der we were in d middle of d sea riding a very small boat without any safety stuff to hold on to, and d sky only got darker and d sea was sending us jumping every few seconds, screaming each time we jumped then laughing jus to avoid ourselves fr crying due to d terrifying ride we were on. d first glimpse of light was like seeing some kinda hope to reach land because in dat utter darkness, even a fire fly wud seem like hope. and so we tot wen we've seen some light we're nearing but were proven wrong, it didn't seem like we were heading for d shore. d ride mustve easily been 20mins but it was d longest 20mins in my life so far. finally after lotsa cornering, we saw our resort. phewwwwwwwwww!!!!

asrul n adie got der first before us but nvm (ye ker??) dat, we managed to find d shore altho still terrified, was still kicking. bcoz it was late, and we haven't showered d whole day, nas and i ate quickly then ran off to our room to clean up. aftr dinner, der was a fire show (man playing with fire on a stick) and i only watched fr my balcony. it was cool but since I got a clear view, y dirty myself with sand all over again. after dat we played card (n i learned to play royal flush) all nite until we jus cudnt keep our eyes open.

it was indeed a very long day for all of us.
