title: Did you ever

Hello guys! I'm back from Tioman (: The trip was so so much fun, I learnt loads and we got to see so much wildlife and do so many things some wouldn't get to do in their lifetime (like releasing baby hawksbill turtles into the sea where they belong!) :D And we woke up early in the mornings and went out in the night to the beach with Mr Lim to look for organisms haha.

The first day was mainly spent travelling to Tioman, settling down into the resort and just absorbing the feel of the pristine beach atmosphere.

Stunningly clear waters
Coconut trees against the sea
Melina Beach
And the second day was...SNORKELLING! :D The coral reefs were so awesomely nice, especially off Paya, and we saw SO many things including this huge school of yellow-lined scad. It's amazing how diverse the coral reef is. We got to snorkel in a mangrove too (: but it was a bit too sandy to see much haha. Pity I didn't have an underwater camera so I don't have any pictures for this day ): These are both taken by Wan Ting.

Me, Jia Ming and Natalie.
The yellow-lined scad.
On the third day we went trekking through the forest. Like Tuesday, we saw lots of animals, heard lots of different calls and did a lot of climbing and sliding haha! We found out in the end that we had only trekked about 4km but all the climbing made it seem like 10!

Giant strangling fig :O

The rock crossing :D
The fourth day was pretty relaxing. We woke up early to catch low tide to do our coastal survey and saw lots of cool stuff too. Like organisms we wouldn't normally see revealed themselves to us haha! In the afternoon we learnt how to dig a turtle nest and after that during free time we walked over to the other side of the beach to take pictures, borrowed a beach ball from one of the sec 3s (but in the end didn't play with it haha) and sat on the raised viewing platform to make Rich's card.

A spider conch :D
Super low tide. High tide can go all the way up to the beach.
A juvenile cushion star, We saw a big one during our snorkel.
Me on the swing!
My roommates and me in front of a turtle hatchery (:
Cool erosion patterns and uber clear waters
Sunset...
On the last day we waited 2 hours (!!!) for the ferry and in the meantime decided to eat the famous Ramly Burger! Haha :D It was good stuff! All the photos are on Facebook ;)

I'm really glad I went for the trip. It was such an awesome experience (:
