Dive Perhentian!

21st-23rd Sep 2012
My 6th Dive Trip

Was a last minute decision to join Sam on this trip. I have been wanting to check out Perhentian Island. So I was right, the journey there was a long one but since we slept through the night, it was bearable. The trip cost us RM500 without boat transfer and food. Together with the chartered bus, it cost us more than expected. Accommodation at Bubu Long Beach was quite decent with twin sharing, air-cond and water heater. Strangely, the organisers never shared the bills/receipt of the trip.



Diving was ok. Visiblity was average and the sites we went weren't too spectacular. The journey back was quite torturing. Felt that my whole Sunday was totally wasted. We started our journey after breakfast. I envy 2 of our divers who were from Singapore cause they took a flight back. They got home by 12pm. We got home at 12am!


After the trip, I realized there was an interesting Vietnamese wreck nearby (darn!). Moral of the story, always do your own research of a trip.

Dew Crew Retreat 2012

16th-18th Sep 2012
Dew Crew took a simple retreat this year… what else better than an eating trip. Once again, we went to Ipoh and stayed at the same place and of course ate a lot. We need to do something to justify this eating next year. Lol.

Other than eating, we did took lots of photos at Gunung Lang and Kellie's Castle.

Legoland Malaysia

6th-8th Sep 2012
There has been lots of hype about the opening of Asia's first Legoland here in Malaysia. When the opportunity came for a free entry, who would have refused? Somehow, it gave many people the idea that it was very much like a theme park. But like the name, it is Legoland.

The place was not entirely open to the public yet. There was still a few days to go and therefore some of the rides were not available during my visit. There wasn't as many rides as I expected. The whole place had Legos everywhere though. Pretty cool for Lego fans.

From that visit, I conclude (at the moment) the place is targeting at younger children (some of the boat and car rides are more for the age of 8 and below or people who admire the work of lego and just want to take lots of photos. My friends and I completed almost every activity available in less than half a day.

The water park will be ready in a few years. Looking forward to that.
