alrights. im back from my bintan trip! (: so here's how i spent my 3 days 2 nights there...

we reached bintan around late afternoon on friday, so i suggested we go out to sea by kayaking. so we changed and off we go! we were contemplating whether to bring the camera along out to sea. cos if we capsized, there goes my canon ixus. lols. but heck, we brought it along with us in ziplock. (:

before we went out to sea, we saw a boy being crowded around by people and he was yelling in pain while the staff poured some liquid over his leg. we asked around and realized that the boy was stung by a jellyfish and i was rather worried that we'll be stung by jellyfish too if we capsized in the middle of the sea.


darling at the head of the canoe. :p

i was joking about finding jellyfishes at sea the whole time after we kayaked out into sea, when suddenly des said (pointing at the sea): "did u see the jellyfish?!" i was like: "omg! are u kidding me?"

and tata! the big pink jellyfish we saw from our kayak. (:



it looks like this when further away from the sea surface. not very obvious heh?

and so we spent quite some time chasing the pink jellyfish around in our kayak until we grew tired of it. and we decided to head to a kelong which stands alone in the middle of the ocean. According to the hotel staff, the kelong should be about 450m away from shore... we thought it was more than that... haha.

the people on the kelong were amused and curious about us, as we kayaked near them... we tried to ask them how long they have been living there and so on, but to no avail as they did not understand english... lols.


the kelong kids... (:




the picture above gives u a rough gauge on how far we kayaked out into the sea to the kelong. when we headed back to shore after reaching the kelong, the people at the shore looked as tiny as ants to us. LOLS.



my sporty des with his sparkly smile.


i think we make a great kayak team! :p



yay, i love bintan! :p

more to come...
