I Love Having Fun: The Perhentian Islands

Yes that is absolutely true. I LOVE to have fun. I NEVER let my size stop me from ever having fun. So, what IS my idea of fun? It honestly depends on my mood! Yes I'll have to admit that i could be very fickle. What I consider fun now I might consider boring next week. That's just the kind of person I am. I can't help it. Maybe I've some undiagnosed ADD/ADHD. I don't know. Think what you like. Hahahaha.

Traveling have always been a big passion of mine and my absolute favorite place to go is the beach. I'm a beach bum and a water baby at heart! I just really love the sun, sea, sand and surf..

 

 

Not too long ago, my cousin Joanna and I decided to give ourselves a treat and took a trip to the Perhentian Islands off the coast of Terengganu. It was pure heaven! Imagine crystal clear waters and beautiful white sandy beaches.... *sigh* Bliss!

The Perhentians consists of two islands, Pulau Perhentian Besar and Pulau Perhentian Kecil. Our choice was Pulau Perhentian Kecil which coincidentally is famous for being a backpacker's paradise. You get backpackers from all over the globe here. That scored MAJOR plus points from us. Hey, a girl needs some SERIOUS eye candy when she's on vacation after all!

Life on the island was blissfully simple.. Days were spent vegetating on the beach, swimming, snorkeling, watching people and making new friends... And in the night time, after dinner, everyone would hang out at the beach bars along the shoreline..  drinking, talking and generally being merry! Everything was so uncomplicated. It kind of make me wish that everyday is a holiday.. *sigh*

Initially we just thought of being in the Perhentians for about 3 days but I guess the island had different plans for us! We ended up staying for a week! The only reason we left was because we had to catch our flight to Thailand to catch the ever famous Full Moon Party.. and that, my dear friend is another story... So watch out for my next post!

Cheers!
