THE JOY OF SWIMMING

PERHENTIAN ISLAND, TERENGGANU| October 2012

It has been 4 months now since I got back in the water, swimming freely.

And yes... Swimming is one of my favorite things to do. I just love to get lost in the water, lost in thought. But of course, I'm not a competitive swimmer. Hehe. Suka-suka je ni, isi masa lapang. Lagipun, swimming is kind of relaxing exercise jugak lah kot. Burn calories gitu konsepnya.

So when I was in Perhentian last October, to be exact masa tu dekat Turtle Point. Langit biru, air biru, just like heaven. Haha. So mulalah aktiviti verangan konon-kononnya nak dapatkan best view of the skies and the oceans. Hehehe. Macam mana caranya? Backstroke swimming style la uols.

It was the best moment, in the middle of the ocean and blue skies. So beautiful and so perfect. I even close my eyes and feel the sunshine on my face. Hahah. Best okkk! What to do? I'm just hopeless romantic maybe. Kekeke.

Semua orang yang datang dekat Turtle Point ni sebenarnya busy carik penyu ok. Motip ko datang Turtle Point tapi duk sibuk feeling-feeling sunshine hahaha. So disebabkan itu, terlepas lah moment nak tengok turtle nih. Bencisss kan. Penyu tu ada je datang menunjukkan muka, tapi bila dah penat swim dekat tempat dia muncul tu, he's finally gone! Hmmmm. Sedih lah. Takde rezeki.

Tapi, ada beach boy yang bawak our group snorkeling ni kan, dia perasan kot iols is kecewa so dia macam kata macamni;

"Awok nok tengok ko penyu tu?"

Kekeke motip kecek Kelate? Sebab kat Besut okeh. Bukan dekat Paris nak bonjour bagai. Hehe.

"Hmmm, tapi takdok doh tu, dio gi doh, takpolah". Gitu mek ni respon. Keke.

Pastu dia reply balik;

"Kalu awok nok, sayo bawok gi tengok."

Hahaha. Sungguh ke ni. Kalau benar bagai di kata, moh la kita. Orang lain semua dah bersenang lenang dalam boat. Tapi memang jumpa lah turtle tu walaupun we have to swim for 25 minutes kot. Hehehe. Sumpah penat nak mampsss. The joy of swimming in the ocean and bonus, you swim with the turtle. Priceless! Hehehe.

PUSAT AKUATIK SHAH ALAM

So the last time I swam, 4 bulan yang lepas. Disebabkan cuti Chinese New Year haritu tak buat apa-apa, sangat sendu rasanya. Jadinya my brother and I pun pergi lah Pusat Akuatik Shah Alam ni. Habiskan masa yang ada dengan aktiviti riadah. Hehe.

10 laps in a pool, pengsan! Sangat lapar lepas tu. Hahaha. Nak melantak lebih-lebih, rasa bersalah kat diri sendiri. Hmmm. Jadinya makan sweet corn sajork. 1 cup. Hehe.

If swimming boleh tone you up and slim you down then I think I need to swim often. Plus, water brings peace. It feels so good. No wonder babies love water.

Have a nice weekend!

THROWBACK THURSDAY - PULAU PERHENTIAN

PERHENTIAN ISLAND, TERENGGANU| October 2012

A Sad Motive

I loveee to listen to the sound of the ocean waves. Soo romantic. Hehe.

Haritu masa dekat Perhentian, dah feeling-feeling nak bersantai, nak baring -baring la ni konon-kononnya sambil berangan dengar bunyi ombak lah, berbumbungkan langit lah. Skirt dah kena dah ni dengan mood pantai. Ahaks.

Then suddenly, dengar suara-suara sumbang orang duk bercakap kat belakang;

Berani laa baring-baring kat situ, biawak selalu je lalu atas pasir ni...

Hahahahahaha. Benciissss. It completely changed my mood ok! Daripada feeling-feeling santai terus jadi geli geleman.

Tapi tengok mat saleh semua ok jah sunbathing bagai. Takde pulak dia takut biawak ke apa. Relax je 2 piece. Kalau biawak tu lalu sebelah time tido, how?

Oh god, I can never imagine!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY - SUMMER SNOW

PERHENTIAN KECIL, TERENGGANU | October 2012

It's summer snow, in the deep blue sea

I try to touch, but it fades away

It must be a dream I will never get

I feel a pain, I can hardly stand

Still everyone has a wish to live
