We had planned to take the midnight bus ride from kl to kt so that we could pretty much spend the whole day on the island rather than wasting one whole day on the bus. We took the 10 pm bus, and for a very very very long time I actually go to 'bed' by 11 pm. I tried to sleep but it was almost impossible... It was raining outside at the time... So, creepy images started to creep up into my mine, you know those freaky accidents involving buses... But I tried not to think about it too much...
Arriving at KT pretty dark at that time...Ugh... the seat was just horrendous and entirely not suitable for sleeping. My back was killing me every time I tried to sleep. In the end I did manage to get some sleep, but it was like sleeping for an hour then waking up again, sleeping for another and waking up again... torture... at that moment I really hoped that this trip was worth the misery...
By 5 am the next day, we arrived safely at Kuala Terengganu. And guess what, for the first time I saw what an Islamic state was... I saw the big batu bersurat terengganu somewhere during the journey. Speaking of cultures, I really know so little about it even in my own country...
Then, we tried contacting the person in charge of bringing us to the jetty. At that moment I really felt a little frustrated as we don't know how the person looked like or what he was driving, so the time waiting was pretty err darn frustrating...
Luckily within I can't remember how long later, we finally boarded the bus. Up in the bus, it was much more comfartable sleeping compared to the initial bus. So, we manage to get some lost sleep back ( it wasn't enough) , so we were a little fresher by the time we reached the jetty.
At the jetty it was all down to waiting again... Honestly it was pretty frustrating at the beginning as we were spending most of our time waiting and waiting and waiting... After about an hour, the boat was finally ready and we were itching to get to that island.
Alright now the interesting part started to come alive. At the riverbank, the waves was pretty strong and huge, the biggest I had ever seen. Well, the first two waves we encountered was ok, as the boat easily soared through it. Then came the third wave, how should I describe this..... One moment we thought it was just another wave, the next, we were all drenched in cold water. Looking on the bright side, at least we got our err morning 'bath'.
Being in the boat...Then silence ensued the entire boat, some was down right scared and they were hugging each other as if doom day is coming. As for me I just tried to get some sleep, while enjoying the first boat ride of my life... Pretty fun I must say. I'll post more about the trip on the next post so remember to come and read my blog from time to time... To view the photos courtesy of Yuen Lye and Yuen Xun please go to my facebook and see them.
