A quiet little Saturday had turned into a small gathering session. Well not actually a gathering, more like a yumcha session. I say it as a gathering because got one person that I haven’t seen for very long was there, Victor’s girlfriend.

I already forgotten when was the last time I saw her. But I know it was damn long ago, because she told me that I look nicer with short hair. I was shocked when she told me that because I cut my long hair like yearsss ago. That’s how long she hasn’t seen me. Lolz.

Last day here in Tioman, felt the time passed too fast. Haha. Woke up a little later, head to foyer area for breakfast.

Photobucket
Chicken porridge. Not bad for resort standard. :)

Photobucket
Designated area for our company.

Photobucket
Bumped into Sue-ann, so asked her to be my test subject for a while. Hehe.

Photobucket
Back to room, need to pack everything and prepare to leave already…

Photobucket
Zaheer, can said he’s in-charged of this whole trip (of cos with the help of Tiffany). He lost his slippers somewhere, so he had to wear the room’s slippers.

Photobucket
Waihoong, brought his laptop there to play World of Warcraft. He even missed the group photo just because he wanted to play game so much. Anti-social~

Photobucket
So here’s the committee of the Swingers. President: Eve, Vice President: Zaheer, and Treasurer: Tiffany. Thank you guys.

Photobucket
Group photo before leaving the place. Me and Aivee was not in this picture because both of us are shooting using our own camera. But we appeared in Sue-ann camera’s group photo. :) She got the most complete one.

Photobucket
Going through Custom before waiting at the jetty area. A lot of people doesn’t know that Tioman got duty-free shops also. So that’s why we need to pass through the Custom.

Photobucket
Sue-ann cut queue. Brian pissed. Sue-ann don’t care. Brian can’t do shit. Haha.

Photobucket
Brian and Sue-ann sat next to me on the ferry ride.

Photobucket

Photobucket
Motion sickness pills. I’m not sure whether this actually works, or I’m better in dealing with motion sickness already.

Photobucket
Oopsie~ puke alert at “Kuantan 192″ road sign. Peishan suffering from motion sickness.

Photobucket
That’s it. 3 days 2 nights of Tioman trip. Of cos not enough. But better than nothing.

Woke up quite early on day 2 trying to take some nice morning photos. Since the day before i slept quite early, so I’ve walked out from my room around 8am. Very nice feeling, warm sea breeze, quiet, and the sound of wind blowing against the tree.

Photobucket

Photobucket
A very quiet morning at Tioman. I’m not sure whether is it normal with no people on the beach so early in the morning.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket
Of cos have to shoot some floral photos… hehe…

Photobucket
I think that’s the Clubhouse for those golfers.

Photobucket
This kinda small roads can bring you all around Berjaya Tioman. It’s their main road inside the resort.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket
Quite a long ride, Yippie took a nap on the boat.

Photobucket

Photobucket
Waiting tired of waiting again before we got to our spot.

Photobucket
Everyone went down to snorkle except for me, I was just there to take some pictures. Hehe.

Photobucket
Jook was nicknamed Mer-Jook after this snorkeling trip.

Photobucket
Yippie, afraid of the fishes, screaming like mad when the fishes swim near her.

Photobucket
Those people on the boat was eating mixed-rice, they keep on throwing food down the sea, that’s why you see so many fishes here.

Photobucket
Reached the Jetty and damn hungry. So we headed for lunch at the foyer area.

Photobucket

Photobucket
After lunch, went back room to shower, then come back out again to go swimming. Before that, I heard some of the going shoot some hoops, so I walked to the basketball court to check it out.

Photobucket
Syam didn’t go out to snorkle with us, here she is renting a bike to ride around the resort.

Photobucket
After swimming, went back room again to shower and prepare for dinner, passed by the game room and guess who I saw. Hehe. Yippie, David and Meng there playing Mahjong la. Yippie said she didn’t know quite well how to play, but ended up she won. :

Photobucket
Dinner time! Steamboat! Didn’t manage to take many shots from the dinner because don’t have a flash gun and the lighting was too dim there.

Photobucket
After the dinner, there’s the bonfire session where everybody drinks again! haha… Here’s the 2 pile of wooden planks for our fire.

Photobucket
One of the pile of woods fell early, creating this unbalance fiery shot.

Photobucket
On the ground, there’s actually writings of “Arachnid” and “Slipknot”. Took this shot after the fire died out because you can really read it with the fire on.

Photobucket
People warming up. before they became crazy.

Photobucket
Some people chilling at the pondok there.

Photobucket
Tiffany didn’t get drunk tonight because she was moving around dancing and having fun. :)

Photobucket
Drinking on the beach. Nice.

Photobucket

Photobucket
More people sitting on the beach drinking and chit-chatting…

Photobucket

Photobucket
Jook the parkour lover. Jumping over fire? Not a problem.

Photobucket
Ben’s turn. Can’t imagine that he actually jumped quite far.

Photobucket
Hahaha. Sue-Ann acting fear. Quite bad acting! Lolz…

Photobucket
Aivee helped me shoot this one, but the timing was wrong. :(

Photobucket
There’s a lot of things happened on that night, which i didn’t manage to shoot. But Aivee got a lot of those not so proper shots.

Canton-i @ The Gardens

Went to this newly opened restaurant call Canton-i at The Gardens, Mid Valley yesterday. As you can see from the name, it is related to Dragon-i. It is located at the lower ground floor at The Gardens, near another chinese restaurant Din Tai Fung. The food they sell are mainly chinese stlye barbeque stuffs, such as Char Siew, Siew Yuk, Duck and Goose. Haven’t got the chance to try the barbeque goose there cos it was finished by the time we got there.

Business seems to be very good there, because i went passed the restaurant a few times and there’s always people lining up.


Took this shot after we ate. :) That’s why you don’t see people lining up. Cos it’s late.


The interior of Canton-i is very nice, combination of beige, white, and pink, made a very comfortable place to have ur meal. As you can see, there’s a lot of people.


There’s 2 sections here, this one is the left section, the picture before this is the right section.


Decorated with items that are very chinese such as these bird cages.


Very nice semi round seating, but don’t think can fit many people in.


SiewMei holding our number ticket posing, while waiting for our seats.


Syam and Yippie queueing up. Look at the line behind then, long~


A rare person to join us eat, because SiewMei came to find us for dinner. :) Have to “bay min” a bit.


Me and Jook waiting for our food. (Jook acting like Yippie)


Actually Syam is also another person who’s rarely join us for dinner. Again because of SiewMei’s visit, and i forced her to come along. Hahaha.


Yippie and SiewMei waiting for food.


Hamyu showing his reluctant face to take picture with Yippie.


Look at how happy he is here. Haha.


As usual, drinks arrived first.


Each of us ordered the plain wantan noodles, then we ordered dishes to share. This is the Siew Yuk. A bit too fat, but the skin is crunchy. Yum~


Char Siew. Not as good as Shah Alam or Sunway Mas’ Char Siew, but still consider not bad.


Yao Mark. Haha, don’t know how to say this in English.


Very big and nice wantan. Got a whole prawn inside. Very Q.


Half a duck here. Consider not bad also.


After meal chit chat.


Hamyu with the gals. Hamyu belanja us this round. I think it’s because we bought birthday present for him on his birthday just passed not long ago. :) Still… thanks Hamyu.

The price of the food here is slighly above average, but the quality consider ok. So, worth going to try out. :)

Went to Tioman Island last Friday on the 7th of November for a 3 days 2 nights company trip. It was quite a nice trip (for me to try out my new camera). Was a bit messy on the schedule, but can see that Zaheer and Tiffany trying all their best to sort things out.

Quite a bit of funny, gross, and new stuffs happened on the trip, adding to the experience of the whole trip. Took damn lots of pictures, but only can share so much here. :) hope you’ll enjoy them.

Photobucket

Photobucket
Bus depart from office around 6am in the morning, had some mamak breakfast on the way to Mersing jetty.

Photobucket
Reach Mersing around 12:30pm but missed the ferry. Stranded there for around 2 hours to catch another ferry.

Photobucket
A nice shot of Sue-Ann eating her burger while waiting for the ferry ride at the jetty. Quite a few of them bought the burger there. The taste was not bad.

Photobucket
Finally got into the ferry after hours of waiting. The air-conditioning system was blasting like crazy inside the cabin. Freaking cold.

Photobucket
A shot of the back of the ferry, a patriotic ferry ride. :P

Photobucket
Finally reach Tioman Island after around 1 and a half hour ride of the ferry.

Photobucket

Photobucket
In a bus, on the way to Berjaya Tioman resort.

Photobucket
10 minutes of ride, reach the foyer of the resort, where we had hour super late lunch. Food was not bad.

Photobucket
This is where we’ll be eating for the next 2 days.

Photobucket
Sharing room with Brian and this is how the room looks like. Quite comfy.

Photobucket
Before going out for the duty free shopping, manage to get some evening shots of the beach. After hours of rides, finally touch the beach. Haha.

Photobucket
Crazy shopping, cigarettes, alcohol, cigarettes and more alcohol, then cigarettes then alcohol again. Crazy!

Photobucket
Dinner time when the lunch still haven’t fully digested. Not much appetite to eat. So walk around and took some pictures.

Photobucket
Close-ups of the foods! Hehe

Photobucket
After dinner was drinking session, got my tripod ready, and shot some long exposures. This pictures looks a bit fake, more like a stage backdrop than a real photo. Weird.

Photobucket
Of cos there’s light trails playing time. Took a lof of tries to get this right, 2 copywriters work on this one. Hehe. Jook wrote the “arachnid” and Justine wrote the “tioman”.

End of day one, went back to room and slept early to prepare for the next day.

Tracey Fong is back! Last Wednesday, Tracey came visit us at the new office. She came back to Malaysia for a 2+ weeks holidays. This is the 2nd time she visited us since she migrate to Australia.

She’s doing pretty good there in Australia, as you can see from the pictures, she brought her boyfriend, James, to Malaysia. Nice guy, knows how to cook for Tracey. Hehe. Good catch! Fong. She just started her new job 3 months ago. So this leaves of 2+ weeks is actually quite daring of her. Haha.

She’ll be going back to Melacca, her hometown, before she flies back to Australia. Happy seeing her doing so good and well taken care of. :)
