Sibu Islands Resort - WE LOVE IT!

Remember I shared this teaser photo two weekends ago?  Well, this is it.  This amazing place that I went was a super amazing place (lols... brain dead.  Can't think of more words.).  It was totally beyond expectation not just on my part, but for my girlfriends too.  All of us have this thought that we are going to some kind of island off Johor, where there will be other villages besides the resort we will be staying in.  Just like what Tioman Islands or Pulau Besar or Perhentian Islands would have been.  We gonna just spend some girly time together, bumming out at the beach enjoying the breeze.

Imagine our ecstatic-ness when we were greeted by these free roaming docile deers the moment we walked out of the jetty.  All earlier discontentment of having to fork out the additional RM150 to charter a speedboat dissipated!  Well, the chartering was because we missed the arranged ferry.  We underestimated the distance from Kluang to Tanjung Leman. 

It was such a pretty place!  No villages.  No rubbish strewn all over.  Surroundings were all landscaped to perfection!  Pretty gentle deers lazying all over the place minding their own business and peacocks too.  

There were nice table and chairs put out at every corner of the island for us to chill and enjoy the sea breeze.  By the beach, in the middle of the garden amidst the deers, along the walkway to the chalets and etc.  I remember when I just got back from my trip, my other friends asked "WHY?" when I told them that I didn't go for any dives, I simply replied: "The island is simply too pretty to leave.  I don't feel like going anywhere!"  Lols...  Really, it was that. 

The weather was awesome too.  I guess we were really blessed for having such a nice weather.  Blue sky, white clouds, breezy.... The first activity we did was went dipping at their pool!  A pool on an island you asked.  Well, that was cause at that time, we have yet to discover it's gem! :)

Lucky for us, due some reasons, probably cause we were all four hot girls group, we were given the best service ever.  A guide was arranged to show us around the island, activities were all arranged and planned out for us all.  Free of charged.  Or probably their occupancy were low on the day we arrived and they have no one else to entertain.  Well, I still prefer the first reason :p.  That we are hot! Lols.... 

It was archery next.  We were all so ambitious and wanted to start off at 15m and was pretty disappointed when the instructed make us start at 5m range.  All four of us broke out in hysterically laughters when our arrows began flying all over the place except for the target (even at 5m and we wanted 15m!)!  Hahahaha...  Nevertheless, as we progress from 5m to 10m to 15m, we did managed to aim better.  No wonder we are ladies!  It gonna be a huge problem if we are men!  Hehehehehehe....

This was what greeted us when we decided to check out Beach 2 (their best) after the arrow game.  It was so pretty and crystal clear.  Can see right thru to our feet.  Even caught sight of fishes swimming around us.  Oh my......... I never knew we have islands like these right here!  Who needs Maldives or Mauritius?!

We enjoyed the crystal clear and calm sea so much that we stay right thru sunset till the sky turned dark before heading back for shower and dinner. The sunset were really nice too with clouds like on that first day we arrived.  Lucky lucky!

The first thing we did next morning after breakfast was... snorkelling at Beach 2 together with our guide, Ah Long.  There were so many pretty colourful corals and fishes.  All of us was so excited.  But this is still not the best yet.

 I found Mr Krabs (Spongebob Squarepants) loitering on the beach.  Probably checking us out!

The not so appetizing canned food we brought were exceptionally appetizing after a day out at the beach!  We even made Ah Long take us out to another island to purchase more.  :p  Seriously yummy I tell you! No bluffing one!  We had chilli tuna, curry tuna, anchovies sambal & etc.  We didn't bring enough bread though and have no choice but to purchase a loaf from the hotel.  It was freaking RM10 for a loaf of bread!  So guys, bring more bread next time ya if you going to island!

 My blue mask and snorkel.

This is by far the highlight of our trip.  The best.  Ah Long took us out for an Island tour as well as island hopping in the afternoon and brought us to this little island called Kukus island.  It was so beautiful that we started screaming even before we get off the boat!  Lols.... yeah, when you have a bunch of crazy girls travelling together, do expect lots of screaming and laughing!  Lols... 

The sand was powdery white, the sea was greenish blue and there was a bunch of seagulls awaiting us when we arrived.  Typically out of postcards scene.  Or movies even.  James Bond.  Lols... We had so much fun there.  I know I did.  Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Went mad taking photographs.  The corals were absolutely fantastic.  We were all screaming thru our snorkel!!  It was a hillarious sight! 

After Kukus, Long brought us to this other island where they have shops to chill.  We each ordered a fried noodle and gobbled it down within minutes!  This is the place we bought extra canned food.  Long show us this kitty cat that has deformed paws.  I am no expert in cats, but I am sure u can tell the difference.

This was what greeted when we finished our fried noodles.  Such pretty sight.  Sigh....... I am missing it so much!  Shimmering golden sea....  We were actually talking quite loudly until we caught sight of the sea.  We just we silent and each pulling out cameras to capture the beauty!

When we got back to our island in the evening (yeah, our island... lols)... the deers were all out.  Nice.

And of course the peacocks too.

We absolutely had a great vacation though it was just a 3d/2n thingy.  Just nice.  Am missing the island so much and can't wait to get back as soon as possible. :)  Such a nice place right in our backyard.  If you are keen, try googling Sibu Islands Resort.  You might be able to find them.  I am too lazy to dig out the receipt for their website which was probably buried underneath a huge piles of documents on my desk.  Anyway, I highly recommend this place if you are seeking for some relaxing short vacation!
