Rawa Island ~ 15-17 May 2009

This entry is a bit late... Realised I did not blog about my other trips after Phnom Penh... So here goes...

Phnom Penh in April and Rawa in May...

The trip to Rawa was really one of the most enjoyable and unforgettable trips that I had so far ... Simply because it is really just an island, and you feel that you are really on a relaxed holiday, away from the hustle and bustle of city life and air/water pollution...

And more importantly, without any other distractions, like TV (you know what a TV addict I am...), computer (though the guys brought along a laptop, which we used to watch some... erm.. crappy movies...) and mobile phone.. (I think apart from two smses from a fren who questioned why I was overseas with the Swine Flu alert everywhere, and a couple of sms-es from him, I'm glad my phone stayed quiet most of the time.)

The sky was blue. The water was blue. Or rather, the water was so clear that you could actually see fishes swimming - even when I did not go snorkelling with the rest.

Not to mention, Jenny and the guys were fun company. I'm so glad Jenny asked me along for the trip (think she guessed I needed one...), and I'm so glad I agreed.

The one thing I enjoy travelling with Jenny is I can just be quiet and be in my own world, and she leaves me in it, without nudging/nagging/whining at me to join them for the activities or whatsoever, and not be offended that I needed some solitude time.

Just like how I was totally zonked out on the 1st night when we reached and all I wanted to do then was to shower and retire back to the room to zzz like a piggie. And Jenny had to "explain" to the guys to let me be, and so, the three of them played games in the other room. Then again, in the end, I was drifting in and out of sleep because I could hear them laughing and chatting so clearly! hahaha...

Or during our Bintan trip quite some years back, when for some reason, the flu bug acted up and I just had to pop the medicine and immediately retire to bed at 8 pm, leaving her in the room to do some leisure reading...

But honestly, I seriously appreciate that. I reckon if i were with any other friends, I would ultimately be obliging (unwillingly) and "dong" through the night until everyone decided to call it a day.

Really enjoyed the trip and look forward to going there again!

Oh, and another thing, I absolutely enjoyed the 200km/hr ride! Woohoo! hahaha..

First day when we arrived at the sunny island!
