BANANA BOAT!!

*fakes enthusiasm-and-squeals*

okay lah.. it wasnt that bad. Afterall, we all became banana-boat-capsizing-experts after maybe 10 capsizes?! hahaha! basically we were having fun capsizing ourselves! Now i'm damn good in climbing back up the banana boat already!

but then...I wouldnt recommend this kelong though..

food >> so-so~

activities >> everything is spoiled except the banana boat (yes, thats why its the highlight!) I was still hoping for the jetski!

equipment >> the lifejackets are so damn cui that it probably wont be able to save me should an accident occur. nono, it'll probably choke me to death first. Its so thin that it probably wont keep you bouyant should you be just a lil bit overweight. To add on, it has totally nothing to secure itself to you. You just have to hold on to it for your dear life. Basically, it just acts as an accessory.

room >> so-so~ i think cui-er than my cui-est dive resort in tioman

shower facilities >> NO HOT WATER!! even the cui-est Genting Tioman Resort only didnt have hot water due to blackout.

theme >> absolutely no rustic-kelong-feel at all. Its all concrete and all.

random others >> they caged up a poor monkey which has apparently gone bersek due to prolong irritation from the owners and any other stupid ppl.

cost >> After a detailed cost-benefit analysis, definitely not worth the money!

After all said..we did have a good time there.

I mean, though there's nothing much (and i really mean seriously nothing much) to do there, we still managed to come up with some stupid games to play just to entertain ourselves. Oh well, i think its sufficient. Most important thing is to have fun!
