Today has been a pretty slow day... but it's always great to be off from work. yes, it's the weekend! Probably going to catch the world trade center later.
I decided to post some of my holiday pics here... Really miss the beach resorts and yearning for a holiday. Well, guess it's always holiday mood at the end of the year. Everybody's planning for trips to europe and australia... Let me just look at my photos to recollect my memories at my favourite places.

The Rawa Beach is one of my favourite beaches and it's great for a weekend getaway. It is a 30 min boat ride from Mersing, Malaysia... The water is clear and you can see fishes at knee length's depth water. It is a island with some chalets, that's all. You're on your own there.

There is a jetty where you can get a good view of the sunset. The whole island basically is quiet and peaceful and there a few locals there. We are probably the only group of asians on the island.

I went snorkelling and it was an amazing view underwater because the water is so clear and there is so much life in there! I actually stupidly stepped on a sea urchin during the high tide and gosh, my leg was numb for a moment. Thank God it was not serious. =)

At night we had barbecued seafood for dinner. After that it was games at the beach. The 10 of us played our childhood games. It was very fun and enjoyable.

The beach was pitch dark because the island had very minimal amenities. Our torchlights and handphones were our main source of light.

We left the island the following day after lunch. It was a very short getaway but I felt that it was really fulfilling because the island was very uncommercialised. Everything was in its most natural state. I went there august last year. Supposed now it is the monsoon period and there should be plenty of jellyfish... not so good for snorkelling. I am definitely looking forward to this island again. =)
