Arrival - Day 1

Finally, the coach has reached the Merang Jetty at Kuala Terengganu. If anyone has noticed, the driver was racing with a petroleum refiller during the journey at night. I guessed everyone was sleeping soundly. We did reached safe and sound. Being given boarding passes for the ferry and took a 45 mins ferry journey to the deserted island. The sun was scorching. A welcome drink was served to us, which tasted like sour plum drink. The logistics personnel mentioned it could cure sea sickness??? Did a fast check-in after lunch to get ready for our first snorkelling trip at Pulau Lima. Not used to the snorkelling mask and breathing thru ur mouth. Tasted lots of salty sea water as a trade off. Went back to our room and totally exhausted. After dinner, there was a karaoke competition. A lady sang "Beauty and the Beast" and it totally sucks... Wondered who signed her up... I wasn't listening much, except drinking to my sorrows. Drank about 3/5 of a jug of Carlsberg and some sips of a ladies drink offered by my god sis. Name was "baylis on the rock"??? Am I drunk already??
