Rawa Isand, Malaysia Trip (Day 3)

28th August 2016, Sunday

Today was the last day on the beach, we got up and went outside. We saw 3 baby sharks swimming in the sea from a distance (was able to see the shadows). As we got up quite early, the staffs were still preparing the breakfast. While waiting, we saw a black cat around the benches, so i played with it. Funny thing was the beach dog, Daisy also came to our side. And when the cat saw the dog, it got naughty and 'slapped' the dog on its face. It made Daisy jumped and wanted to get back at the cat. Even the cat was ready to fight too. But in the end, Daisy just walked away. After that, the kitten started to annoy my friend's hubby by trying to grab his toes on the bench...hohoho...

Daisy

After that, breakfast was ready and the staff told us to check out at 12 pm and we can leave our bags outside the restaurant hut while waiting for the boat to pick us up. After breakfast, they went for their last swim in the sea, Me and my friend just walked near the shore to pass time. They still went for snorkelling for the last time. After that, they all went for shower to get ready for lunch. As the time was still early, we just sat around at the restaurant hut and waited. We had some drinks and snacks before lunch. By 12 pm, lunch was ready and we all ate our last meal on the beach.

Dark clouds coming

While waiting for the boat, the weather suddenly turned to strong winds and dark clouds. We can see that a storm was coming. By 2 plus, there were 3 boats coming towards to the shore and there were new guests coming to the beach. Most of the people who stayed on the same period us took the same timing boats as us. The staff told us to board the second boat, however, she told us we had boarded the wrong boat. So we had to shift to the boat next to it. As there were people on the boat, and the boatman was getting prepared to leave, he didn't bother to help us to pack our bags inside their plastic bags to protect from the water. Raindrops started to fall from the sky and it was super super heavy. Then we were off....back to mainland.....

The boat ride was like roller coaster, on the sea. Because of the rain and strong waves, the boat was bumping all the way. It went up and then bumped back down to the water....we were all drenched, it was like having shower with our clothes on and the water was kept pouring inside the boat. The rain was also hitting on our faces. After the long ride, we finally reached the jetty. Everyone was soooo drenched (can squeeze water out from our clothes) and my butt hurts from all the bumping after the ride. All the bags were wet too, even those kept inside the trash bags. When we saw the people from the other boats, they were not as wet as us. We had to go to the nearby hawker centre to find toilets so that we can change to some dry clothes.

When we got the toilet at the hawker centre, the toilet lady was telling everyone that there was a  water going on and the water had not arrived, therefore there was no water. Had to go the min shop outside to buy water to use. We went to buy a bottle and went to change our clothes. Oh man, my whole bag was wet. My dry clothes become wet clothes and i was only able to change my bottom as i had put some inside a plastic bag. After we all got changed, we wanted to have some drinks before our car driver picks us up. However, he arrived early at the jetty so we all left on a long ride back to Singapore. Think all of us were tired, the ride back was quite quiet...hahahaa...We reached the customs at around 6.20 pm. There was a jam around city square area, we managed to reach back in Singapore at 7 pm plus. Then the driver dropped us off one by one.

And this ends my Rawa Island adventure.
