Pulau Pangkor
My mother’s company namely Phillip Morris had organized a company trip to Pangkor Island Beach Resort located in Pulau Pangkor on 29th of November, Saturday. Pulau Pangkor is an island off Lumut, where my mother and her friends went there by bus and from there by ferry. Our lovely father invited us to Pangkor too in exchange for playing well in golf game. We happily accepted.
On Saturday morning, we unusually woke up at 5 a.m. because we intended to reach our destination as early as possible to give our mum a pleasant surprise. As usual, we slept throughout the journey while my father carefully drove for three hours. We reached the jetty about 7:50. We incorrectly assumed 8:00 was the departure time to the jetty which is the nearest to the hotel but it actually was 7:15 in the morning. Ferry departure of 8:00 a.m. is to Pulau Pangkor town which is 5km away from the hotel. Therefore we decided to have our nice breakfast when we reach there then to take a taxi to the hotel.
After breakfast, we could not find any taxi so we suggested walking while waiting for the taxi. On the way there, we saw hornbills, monkeys, dogs and a short millipede. We admired nice green scenery too. After having walked for 4km, my legs were tired. It was lucky that a fish truck coming from behind was heading to the hotel too, so we hitched a ride there with the fish truck. Our mother was surprised of our arrival.
After we had the room key, we rested inside. We rested for half an hour in the beautiful and big room and went to the sunny beach to play, catch small crab, collect beautiful shells and snorkeling by ourselves near the boulder! My father, my naughty brother and I snorkeled there. We saw a lot of things! We saw many types of sting rays, a school of fish, big crabs and sea cucumbers! I had a lot of fun. It is more interesting if it is low tide. We went swimming at 3:30 p.m. until 4 p.m. and participated a telematch and it was fun-filled. Although we did not win, it was a good experience for me. After the telematch, we went back to the room to shower. My mother’s friends were going to have a telematch at the beach right after we showered. My brother followed my mother to play too. My father and I went down to find them when we finished watching television, but we did not manage to. Coincidently, 6:30 p.m. there was a hornbill feeding time. We saw a lot of hornbills. We admired the sunset and huge five fishing boats that catching fish. After having delicious dinner, we went to play table tennis. We showered before sleep.
On the second day, I woke up at 9:00 a.m. We had our breakfast and then we went for cycling. When we finished cycling it was already 10:30 a.m. My father and I went snorkeling again because it was low tide. My mother and my brother went to play pool. My father and I saw a lot of fish. We saw a sting ray, crabs and sea cucumbers. I was not so lucky because I stepped a sea urchin! It was very painful. We went swimming in the big pool for ten minutes, we returned to the room to shower. Before we went to the jetty, we checked out. When we reached our car, we loaded our luggage in the booth and we went in the car. As normal we slept while my father drove.
We enjoyed our trip. 1 favor was a very good value!
