Pictures first, before I say anything else about the trip because you probably won't be able to read much with pictures all over the place.
First off, all scenic photos below are taken from OUR BALCONY. Jealous? You should be.





This should be on the second day right before we went snorkelling, taken with my dad.

With my aunt, Jennifer, on the beach. Can't you see I'm trying to lick something? *she's going to kill me for this*

That's me pretending to be a shark.

Hunting for the fish that's permenantly underneath the jetty.

After the half hour hike at Air Bintang.

Messing around in Air Bintang..


Group photo with Rikki Power, artist of awesome (but incredibly expensive) batik art. Visit him at http://www.welcome.to/rikkipower

The jetty. Our rooms (we've got two) are directly at the end of the jetty, top floor.

Discover scuba! I don't have a cert yet, so the instructors buddied up with us and maintained out bouyancy for us.


Photos taken underwater will be uploaded in next post when I scan in the photos.
After the dive.

The main instructor, Drew. As in Drew Carey, Drew Barrymore (private joke).

Walking back to the jetty after shedding the heavy scuba stuff.


Drinking at a an awesome pub called Safety Stop we found at Tekek village.

With Don, owner of the pub. He's very, very friendly. Do drop by if you're around the area anytime.

Suntanning on the beach.

Hey!

The road leading to the private beach..

...where we caught four of these (check out the bikini behind). They're sitting on my living room table now, and don't ask how I brought them back.

Marine Park!

This is me moments before I went flying into the water..

Splash!


Feeding the parrotfishes.

Back at Air Bintang.

This is what we've been using to travel around the island..

Last night of gambling.

A turtle fossil in the rock near our rooms.

Coral collecting before we started the trip back.

And we found something unrecognisable.

What the hoot is this? It was sliming along when we chanced upon it. There was very low tide that day, so some people in MOP said it might be a sea slug that got stuck.
Eewww.
Woah, look at the time. Gotta run! Update you as soon as I can, do be patient.

I'll spend the first day sitting in the balcony just chilling with a glass of wine....
I have just made a mental note to include Tioman in the places I want to visit.
Hope you had fun there!
