Hey, I'm back from my trip to Tioman, and already at uni. I had such awesome time there, as well as when heading there. I first on the 17th headed to Singapore for 2 days, where on the first day went clubbin' with 3 of the mates I met at the hostel. We went to the club Zuks, which IF I remember right, it is the biggest in all Singapore.

The next day, went pretty fast, as I was trying to find the bus station (Golden Mall Complex) where the buses to Mersing go. I had to go to Mersing first AS all the ferries to Tioman, go from there. So I finally found it, after an awful trek through the suburbs of Singapore. I got my ticket, which was like 25SGD. The bus would leave on the next (19th) at 6.30am . . YEEH. . not early enough

Soo, Sunday was just about the travel there and the complications that Might arise. First of all, when I woke up at the hostel on Sunday, and started to gather my stuff, I realized that there was A HUGE rainstorm blistering outside and I wasn't going to walk. So, TAXI. . Okay, the trip from Singapore to Mersing, is about 3-4hours and it goes through the border check points in Johor Bahru. The trip was all fine, because the bus had aircon. After the trip we reached Mersing, and I headed to the Ferry port to find a ferry that would take me to Salang Sayang Resort, Tioman. As there is many different (not many but a few) destinations there, I had to find the right ferry first. . Finally I reach Salang. . and I could say. . rest was history...

The rest of the week went doing the open water diving course. I did it with the B&J diving and my instructor was Kirstin. I met heeps of new mates there and enjoyed the sun a bit as well. Also saw some awesome finding nemo fishes and all sorts of lizards. All in all, a awesome time. Dived my first time, got to go to 18metres, saw Lion Fishes, ate a lot of gooood foood and drank some wicked juices. Also went to the nice reggae bar on the beach. . wicked time.. sun, sea and some shit. :)

I would write much more here, of my experience but.. I must be runnin to class . . so farewell

So heres the pics

Typical envy pictures to show...
