back from tioman
well, the title's self explanatory. so i'll just add a few notables and let the photos speak for themselves.2 512mb sd cards are not enough for a 3day holiday with 4 girls. a camera with underwater housing is as effective a guy magnet as a puppy/kitten is a girl magnet. pool bars and charging to room accounts are the greatest things in life. duty free alcohol is also a great invention. kittens are cute. cats which want food can be even cuter. sunbathing is addictive (according to studies shown on CNN). i LOVE my new camera! oh...and i also learnt it's possible to tie a cherry stem into a knot with your tongue. seriously it is. though i can't for the life of me figure out how. i need practice man. yeah, that should be it for now....more photos to follow once i get them from the other cameras.
all sleepy before setting off
arrival at tioman berjaya
peek-a-boo
staircase shot!
the other side now...
our house for the next 3 days!the girls had the two linked rooms upstairs
and the guys got the ground floor
(cos we're lazy and they needed the exercise)
testing out the underwater camera
beach babes (okay, pool babes to be exact)
lavan & his fanclub!a.k.a.
chillin' with the wine and ladies

walking on water, posing in style
4 flowers in their haira.k.a

becky says cheese!
the 'couple' fish (we kept seeing them around)
pufferfishie?
school of fishies (ok. i think they're pikefish)
huiqing and shu-wen
getting ready to get wet
and always ready to pose for a shot
feeding frenzy!
feeding the fishies! (or poking them)
becky & jackie
and the girls found nemo!(sorry i was lazy to hold my breath and dive down for a closer shot)
and huiqing pauses to pose for a shot
underwater flash on shu-wen
two freezing girls sharing a pitiful piece of bread
while the other two merrily frolic in the warm sea
and there the snorkelling adventure ends
post snorkelling pose with the fanclub
on the ride back after snorkelling...
the rain and chill air was rather freezing.
a pause, a glance, acting coy
guess what we're spelling!
how about this?(ok i wouldn't know if i wasn't there, honestly)
and this will henceforth forever be known as the obligatory SMU shot.
we're not sleeping! (ok i was)we're not suntanning! (yeah i was too)
we're not dead! (no suicide pact)
we're supposed to be a starfish! (unbelievable huh)
okay this starfish is more believable...
suntanning beach babes...
who look like half-drowned survivors coming to shore
on the slide, lavan enters with a sliding splash
while becky sits on the water and enters gracefully
and shu-wen changes her mind midway.
drinks, alcohol, mocktails, happiness!
on the way to our 'secret suntanning spot'
suntanning at our spot
this shot looks like some pageantthe height should've been progressive, but someone went up a step...
all wrapped up after suntanning...
and posing for one final shot
the cats there were really friendly!
and the seafood, excellent! this cost us 120RM
post-dinner group shot
and we found time in between tanning to pick seashells!p.s. these are but a mere fraction of the total sum of shots to whet your appetites. and i was too lazy to edit or sieve out the others. once i upload them somewhere, i'll post a link here.
