A Holiday in Tioman :)

Have you ever felt the feeling of hearing a romantic rocking song walking along the beach in the white sand with the sea waves touching your feet softly now and then? Ever felt the loveliness of a lonely night watching the stars and in dark, really dark midnight with hearing the sound of waves, sitting in the sea shore? Ever felt tasting delicious rich tomato soup and stuffed capsicum with garlic butter naan seeing the sunset along the sea shore? Ever felt the timeless experience of spa treatments allowing the body mind soul to pamper? Most importantly snorkeling in the middle of the sea seeing sharks, turtles and corals, when there is a thunder storm and heavy rain?

 All these freaking awesome things happened to me. I’ve had infinite number of vacations in my life time and have gone to numerous number of places which also includes three to four islands and heard my friends telling their experiences of different islands they have went. Oh yeah!!Definitely Tioman is God’s island.                                                                   

It was a long trip from Singapore, starting from 5.00 clk with high energy we reached there by 2. Didn’t really feel like taking rest. The whole trip really didn’t make us tired. The first evening went gathering stuffs, planning for the other days and spending some good time in beach with awesome Indian dinner.

Snorkeling 

This was the very first activity we stepped into. The perfect thing is I am a poor swimmer (damn poor- even struggles and wants a life jacket in swimming pool) and most afraid of jumping in super chill water. At last reached the middle sea, wore things, people started jumping as such it was some lake. Even then, I told “Oh wow, the water is so clear, yeah I can see everything inside. So u go am not coming”, No way they got convinced. I was standing in the first, and finally was last in the boat. So chanting slogams, and holding the ladder of the boat tight, finally went inside water. Oh my god what a world it was. It was exciting seeing numerous numbers of varieties of fishes, turtles, corals, sharks, freaking awesome!!..So with enough guts proceeded snorkeling in all the three islands.

Trekking

Trekking was not new to me. So with the satisfaction of knowing this already we headed to the Rockfall trip. That was nothing new. A bit extra adventurous. We saw many new creatures. And seeing sea 800 meter above the sea level, from a hill was an experience I can say. Had awesome time in the waterfall. Came down down down the hill.

Sea Swimming

There is nothing much more than the heading. Went till 5 feet in the waters found broken corals and sea cucumbers. Badly wanna bring them home. Also found quite  risky and dropped the idea.As a result of this got used to chill sea water.

Spa

Aha!!here it comes ..The purpose of Tioman. This was my first time seriously, and I was bit excited about this. First we were treated with a lemon ginger grass jelly drink. Then we were taken to the room. At first thought it might be painful a bit and as I din wanna take risk just went with aromatherapy avoiding the deep tissue massage. One of my friend was so stupid that he really thought deep tissue dealt with massaging the body with tissue papers..(am sorry- wanna add some humor to the post). That’s it. It was a world of indulgence and rejuvenation. This was relaxing, refreshing, balancing or exotic for a calming and relaxing massage that involves long rhythmic strokes. The unbelievable part of the whole thing was, how efficient the massager was in maintaining the same amount of pressure from the start to the end.

With all other small adventures here and there, It was time for us to leave Tioman, and that day we started by 11 o clock from that place. Seriously it was the longest day in my life. Generally me and my father had the habit of being sad and less energetic on our return trip of any holidays. This was as same as any other return trip. It took only 6 hrs to reach Tioman from Singapore, and it was 12 hours getting back to Singapore. So…So what??The holiday got over…

Love u Tioman. U r the Best Place I’ve ever seen.
