♥~Vivian~♥: Trip to East Malaysia - Day 3 : Manukan Island, One Borneo

Early in the morning, we walked to Fook Yuen ( 富源茶餐室 ) for breakfast. It was supposed to be only a 15 mins walk from our hotel, but our "tour guide" remembered wrongly and we walked for almost half an hour.

Fook Yuen.
Super ba bai one!!
Have to wait for ur number to get ur drinks!!

The food they sell are just normal actually.. They have fried rice, fried mihun, dimsum and pastries. Carrie recommended us Roti Kahwin. It's called 'Kahwin" because they mix butter and kaya tegether.
I've never heard about it, so I decided to give it a try . Turns out, its only butter and kaya on toast bread. We have it everywhere in KL shops. Carrie loved it because they dun have it in Sarawak >.<

Roti Kahwin aka Toast Bread.

Our breakfast.
Fried rice, red bean pastry, Siu Mai.

After breakfast, the Uncle fetched us all to Jesselton Point. There were a few counters that sold boat tickets and water games. Since there were 13 of us, we hired a boat just for us and bought water games.

The ticketing booths and tourists.

After buying and paying for everything, we got our life jackets and snorkeling sets.

The boat ride to and fro from Manukan Island cost RM 18.60 each, around RM 240 for a boat.

The snorkeling set costs RM 10, along with the goggles and breathing pipe.

Banana boat, RM 20 each. Parachuting, RM 60 each. Flying fish, RM 40 each.

In the end, they said that the float for the flying fish was damaged, and we could only do parachuting and banana boat.

Us on the boat, on the way to Manukan.

The boat ride from Jesselton Point to Manukan took around 15 mins. The ride was kinda scary. It was speeding soooo fast I was afraid we were gonna flip!!

Finally here!!!

Us at the jetty.

After we settled down, we started playing the water games. I only joined the banana boat. Parachuting was too scary! Imagine being high up in the sky, where there's no one to save you, or any safety equipment to hold you in place. Just let the wind blow, and you float according to the wind direction. HUGE NO NO for me!!!

The boat only fetched those who are playing. They went in the boat to the middle of the sea, and started their games.

Those who didn't play, had to stay on the shore and look after everyone's stuff.

It was scary for me.
However, dar went >.<

After they're done with parachuting, some guy offered to bring us for Flying Fish. It cost around RM 60. I did not went for it cos I think it's too overpriced. Just for that 5 mins ride?? Every second counts.

Meimei and Christina on the Flying Fish.

Us on the Banana Boat.
Haven't been riding in this for a long long time already.
I persuaded dar to took the ride with me.
He's very brave. He still took it even though he can't swim~

When we were on the ride, the guy kept asking us whether we wanted to terbalik (flip over) anot. Me and dar, both the scaredy-cats, shouted no. The others in front of us kept yelling yes!

In the end, we just flipped over without any signals. When we fell into the water, I thought I was going to drown and die! Water rushed into my nose. But after awhile, the life jacket saved me and we were floating, and we waited for the boat to turn back to get us.

After we were done with all the games, we went back to the island for snorkeling. It was quite a disappointment. I snorkeled once when I was in Redang Island. It weren't as pretty as Redang. The water was cloudy, and there were very little fishes only. No corals at all.

We were kinda rushing and didn't have much time to snorkel and swim around. We went back to KK around 2pm cos we already booked the boat. Once ashore, we had to walk back to the hotel cos we were dripping wet, and didn't want to dirty the Uncle's van.
