ATTENDING SITI NUR FATIHHA'S WEDDING RECEPTION

Another ex-student of SMK Taman Universiti [SPM batch 2011], Ms. Siti Nur Fatihha Rahimi, got married today. I was invited and I gladly attended the event which was held at the parents' house in Taman Universiti.

There were not many people when I arrived. People had come much earlier because it rains almost everyday in the afternoon here these few days.

Congratulations to the newly-wedded couple. Wishing both of you happiness throughout your marriage life.

MY BELITUNG GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - LUNCH ON LEEBONG ISLAND

28th NOVEMBER 2019 ~ Lunch on Leebong Island should come together with the package offered by the resort. Most of the food consisted of fish and squid.

All the food tasted real good when I was in Belitung and I had nothing to complain. I would have trouble fitting into my trousers if I were to stay there much longer.

WELCOME TO LEEBONG ISLAND

28th OCTOBER 2019 ~ After all the photo shoot session on the Sand Island, we finally arrived at Leebong Island, with a staff of the resort already waiting at the jetty to welcome us. We were actually worried as we could see dark clouds on the horizon. If it rained, then the stay on the island would not be as fun as it should be.

There were only a few other visitors when we were there. It was time to experience a holiday on a private island like the rich and famous.

Here are some fun facts about Leebong Island:

(1) Leebong is a private island so you have to make a reservation to visit or stay at this place.

(2) Leebong is actually the name of the owner who bought the island to be developed into a resort.

(3) You could also stay on the island and there is a range of accommodation to choose from, and I guess the cheapest one would be the tent house. Another option is just go there on a day trip basis.

(4) A Malay drama series "Kekasih Paksa Rela", which was starred by Remy Ishak, Intan Najwa and Fizz Fairuz, were shot here on Leebong Island. No, I never watched the drama or knew the actresses excpet Remy Ishak but I will try and search for the series later on Youtube when I miss Leebong Island.

The sea in front of the resort was calm and shallow so people could swim and do water activities like kayaking or rowing here.

We thought that was all the place had to offer and we were so not ready with the surprise we were about to see when we went to the other side of the island.

STOPPING AT PULAU PASIR OFF LEEBONG ISLAND - PART TWO

28th OCTOBER 2019 ~ How large is the Pulau Pasir [translate: Sand Island]? I think it was smaller than half of a football field.

What can you find on the island? Two swings, one gazebo, a small volleyball court - and a field of fine, white sand on the island. It was so fine, you could see the small grains flying away as the wind blew smoothly.

What can you do on the island? Other than swimming in the sea of clear water, you could just sit down and enjoy nature at its best. And you should pose and take as many photos as possible, like you will be on the cover of Vogue magazine.

I wish we could stay longer but we still had another island to hop to.

This should be one of the places I wish I could make a comeback one day. I would just sit on the sand for hours while waiting for the high tide. Then I will get onto the boat and watch it submerge in the seawater and disappear. One day... one day...
