Long-winded post ahead, bear with me. *wall of text [+99 damage]*

Just had the best time of the year over the weekend. Had a wonderful 2days-1night getaway at Ray’s hometown, Sungai Rengit. It is a laid-back fishing village located at southwest-end of Johor. They are well known for the mini lobster, and I personally agree to this! And I had snapped like 600-over photos in just 2 days. Speaking of which, we have a 3-person strong DSLR crew during this trip. And I learnt quite a few new photography techniques! Level up!

Took bumboat from Changi Point Jetty to Pengerang Jetty in Johor. It’s my first time taking bumboat! It a fun boatride standing at the stern enjoying the wind, although with some unwanted occasion of getting splashed by random big waves. Whole journey took 1 hour but it doesn’t seems that long while enjoying onboard.

Big waves

 

First view once stepped out of jetty

Taxi arrangement in the area seems bad as I heard from Ray no cab want to come into this area. Waited quite awhile before the ladies get a cab through Ray’s parents help and we got Ray’s neighbour to pick us up to Ray’s place! Many thanks Ray for all the transport arrangements.

The main agenda of this short getaway was: eat, eat, eat and EAT! Had a sumptuous seafood lunch and dinner on the first day!We had lobsters for both meals! It’s like I have eaten the amount of lobsters I had eaten for the past 23 years in one day! There was a wonderful supper and an excellent heavy breakfast. Woo cares about diet when on holiday? JUST EAT ‘EM! :D

Lunch: Steamed lobster

 

Dinner: Butter lobster

Ray arranged a van and he drove us around the vicinity for sightseeing. It’s amazing on the amount of places we been to in just 2 days. Many thanks to Ray once again. It is cool to see things that we don’t get to see in Singapore, broaden my view of this world (yea, you can tell I’m quite a country bum of Singapore who hasn’t seen much of the world.)

Didn’t really  sleep much at night. Actually my objective was to not sleep at all. Almost fulfilled it but didn’t! :( We were spending our night at the third level balcony of Ray’s house. Star-gazing, jokes cracking, etc. Haven’t been laughing my heart out like this for quite sometime already. Many tried, but a few made it, by 3am there were only 3 of us left. Continued with all the what’s not till 0530 hours where all where defated. End up no one woke up to go to the beach for sunrise viewing.

Left Ray’s house at around 1430 hours, but we didn’t get to board any boat due to the crowd. we only get to board the boat at like 5pm! Tfried to nap on the ride back but the weather was terrible i was sweating even by sitting still.

Really really enjoyed this trip. Putting my mind off all the emo-ness and worries,just eat and laugh and let the day pass by. And I definately felt better after coming back from the trip. I guess this is good to be held as a bi-monthly event.

Next upcoming getaway: 3day-2night cruise on 25th July!
