After 2 months back home, finally the long-awaited 3-days 2-nights Pulau Besar Summer Getaway is here! Seronok sungguh rasa di hati, untuk bertemu kembali rakan-rakan seperjuangan RIT dalam suasana yang relax dan menyegarkan, iaitu di Mirage Resort di Pulau Besar! This is my 2nd time going to the island resort; my 1st time was in summer 2008.
Day 1
 |
| Beautiful Mirage Resort |
Compared to my previous trip in 2008, the speed boat trip was a lot smoother, except for the stronger breeze. Luckily, my new hat got a strip to keep it in place. Our arrival was welcomed by resort staff and Aishah’s ‘twin’ cousin, Joshua. Apart from our group, there were other parties of mat/minah saleh and Chinese couple staying at the resort. Interestingly, the Chinese couple was just married and they were having their wedding photograph taken around the resort. So sweet, awwh I really should go to an island like Bora-bora for my own honeymoon (^___^)
Anyway… *clears throat* the guys couldn’t wait to play beach volleyball and go swimming right away. I didn’t join the swimming session, instead just took pleasure in taking their pictures and recorded their antics in water. I could see that they really used this opportunity to keep away from stress at work; they played happily and loudly like little children just got candies. Joe offered to be buried in the sand, and became a weird ’sand mermaid’ with a fish tail and tangan bulat Doraemon. All the while, the guys also started off some ‘perverted’ acts; I just have to accept the fact that they are undeniably MY friends *shakes head 1000x*
After a splendid dinner, some played pool and some started a gossip table. But in the end, there wasn’t really a lot of new stuff to talk about. I didn’t get to dig deeper into new crushes or scandals; as usual some people *cough cough* were keeping their Pandora Boxes shut very well…
Day 2

| Fangirling jap :D |
After we returned, had lunch, and got changed, I chose to sit in a hammock hung from 2 palm trees while listening to my iPod. I guessed I fell asleep there for a while. In the meantime, the others lepak kat restaurant, gossip2 or whatever. Menjelang petang, we made a sand castle. No, scratch that. A sand empire! We used a big black trash bin and a pail to make the structures. Then, masing2 started to decorate dengan style masing2. Puan decorator, Cik Muni, bersungguh2 membentuk puncak menara. Jiji, Zul, Joe sibuk dengan sistem ‘kumbahan’ mereka. Manche pulak, at first he was busy texting *he he he* but then dia buat naga Tasik Chini uihhh…siap pakaikan cermin mata lagi. Glamour u’olz~
We had a BBQ dinner that night. Ada ayam bakar, ikan bakar, sotong bakar…dah namanya BBQ, mestilah semuanya dibakar kan? Daging kambing pun ada! Nasi goreng, mee goreng, salad, fruits dah siap terhidang upstairs. Sedapppp ngaaa~ I love this one sambal cili yang sedap dimakan with almost everything. Then, we played games, like pool, Uno cards, and tongue twisters (susah giloooooo nk sebut!! berbelit lidah den) using a Korean game style. Meriah aktiviti kitorang malam tu. Also, some of us lepak2 kat tepi pantai. Luckily, we found a cute hermit crab, and decided to ‘torture’ it haha. The way it’s walking is too cute! Macam kesan tayar basikal. Comel lah binatang2 kenit ni…
Day 3

After that, everyone berlari masuk laut. Mior pun ambil kesempatan to be buried, this time, as a tree. Mior memang manusia pokok sejati. Gigah lah si Manche and Aishah membina akar bergumpal2 kat kaki Mior. I was in-charge of the upper body, so I collected seaweed floating in the sea and gathered them all around his head as leaves. So fun! Next thing we knew, we had to pack and get ready for the return boat trip. Awwww…it almost came to an end? After a lot of shots here and there, we got into the boat with saddening feeling. At the jetty, everyone went separate ways to return home…thus ending our dream summer getaway, and getting back to reality.
I want to re-do this all over again. Next time, with the people who didn’t get to join us in this trip – Dila, Athirah, Hawa, and so on. If I could, I would want to invite all awesome RIT-ians!! Come back soon, dear juniors! Special thanks to Aishah’s family for organizing this amazing trip. And here goes my thankful hugs and kisses to my wonderful friends who came: Aishah, Asmaa, Pao, Muni, Akmal, Joe, Jiji, Mior, Manche, Bari, Zul, Adam. Love you all!
