Desaru 5th to 6th July

i’m back!

desaru is a great place for… doing NOTHING! wahahaha…

it’s ok, i’m not complaining because i gathered as much before heading to desaru. i didn’t mention earlier but this trip is made with one sole objective – to sleep for a minimum of 10 hours, as advised by mr chua.

the reason why i chose desaru is because it’s probably the cheapest place. or so i thought. i was misled by the ultra cheap accomodation @ RM120 per night. but everything else is expensive!

just in case any of you guys wish to head to desaru to nua, try the website holidaycity.com. based on my research it has the cheapest accommodation at pulai desaru beach resort. RM120 (regardless of weekday or weekends) per night inclusive of free breakfast for 2 pax. i indicated that i wanted a king size bed, and we were given a huge room with king size bed + a single bed! cool! there’s a balcony too!

but the downside is, everything else is expensive. the return ferry tickets cost S$64 for 2 pax. and 2-way land transfer costs RM46 per pax.

it was a really do-nothing trip but dearest & i had no complaints as we had lots of time to relax. we basically just swim in the pool, play table-tennis, eat, watch TV (there’s channel 8 & U!) and SLEEP!

see the dark clouds? the whole sunday afternoon was rainy. luckily we weren’t into sea sports or it would have been very disappointing.

and here’s a cheery pic of dearest, soaking in the pool while the sun is still bright. cheeky face…

in the evening we paid a driver RM70 (expensive!) to bring us to sg rengit for seafood dinner. the dinner cost us RM179! but that’s because we ordered lobsters. hahaah… the restaurant was featured in channel U but we find that it is overrated.

back at the hotel, we watched tv in bed around 8 plus. by 9 dearest fell asleep, which pissed me off a little cos i was supposed to be the one sleeping for 10 hours, not him! i slept at 10pm eventually and woke at 8.30am. mission accomplished for me! but dearest surpassed me – he woke up later than me, and then continued to sleep again from 10.30am to 12 noon. sigh…

frankly, while there is really nothing to do there, i don’t mind going back to desaru again, especially if we could drive up ourselves. spending RM120 to sleep and swim… not bad… relaxing…

and, i can’t thank tracy enough! for being kind enough to drive us to and from the changi ferry terminal! thank you!

with this trip, let us look forward to better days ahead! HOORAY!
