My perfect holiday

On 2004, my family and I were going to Pulau Perhentian, Terengganu. My father starts drive his car at 10 pm from my home. We are going along through Bentong, Pahang and Karak. From my house to Karak highway were one hour. We across Gua Musang, Kelantan until morning and then we stop to pray. We were buying the food. We park the car at Kuala Besut Jetty at 8 am and then we wait the boat until 9 am. When the boat is arrive we going to Pulau Perhentian and it will taking half hour. After that, we check in at the chalet and my father choose first chalet. It was not comfortable to live for a few days. My father asking reception to change our room and second room is very nice and comfortable because it has perfect facilities like good toilet, perfect bed and good environment. Then, we took about half hour to rest before took lunch. After rest, we also take a look at the beautiful scenery of that island. Talking about the scenery I see a beautiful beach, beautiful coconut tree and beautiful village that have at that island. When during a lunch time, I eat a delicious food like traditional food that I have never taste before. After that, my father wants me and my brother with my sister to snorkeling and we take the boat again to pick me to another island. When I snorkeling I see many beautiful fish like gold fish, crab, prawn and we see the turtle inside the see. I never have seen that creature before because my mother always buys that creature from market but on that day I saw it originally with my eyes. Another day, my father went to fishing with one of villagers with my brother about 2 hours. They went middle of the sea to catch the fish. My father got Kerapu, Kembung, Kerisi and some prawn. After catch all that creatures they bought it to that island to cook for dinner. It was still remember in my mind. We have eaten four times. It is breakfast, lunch, tea break and dinner. I think this package is very suitable for my family because my mother pay about RM 1,500.00 for this package. Not including transport, highway cost and petrol. Total of all cost is RM 2,000.00. It is suitable package because my family love to eat seafood actually and love to see beautiful scenery. In this island we can have a karaoke with foreign people when night and morning. We can also learn how to snorkeling and scuba diving with a good trainer. In this island we can see turtle laid their eggs.

Talking about this island it located at the north-eastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It wills take about 21 km off shores the remote town of Kuala Besut. There are two lovely unspoiled island lie amidst exquisitely clear waters. Pulau Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian) and Perhentian Besar (Big Perhentian) comprise the Perhentian Island, aptly named after henti (stop) as fishermen from mainland Kelantan and Terengganu have, for centuries, stopped over at the island for a rest or to shelter during a major storm. A rocky virgin jungle provides hour of adventures for trekkers who may chance upon flying fox, long-tailed macaques and monitor lizards, while the underneath marine life shows off a splendid garden of coral.

At night, my family and I were going eat at the restaurant that had at that place. Touching about my personal attitude when I at this place is I meet someone who I don’t know and become very nice to them. In my opinion we must be friend with each people in this world. When I came to this island I know about people culture. At that night again, I know how to speak with foreign people because I have conversation with them.

Another day, I woke up early and take a ride at beautiful beach. Suddenly I see many foreign people that want to swimming and snorkeling. After that I went to my friend’s room and talking about this place.

Lastly, my father and I want to check out to the hotel. In my heart says I want to come to this island again because I want to know more history and culture about that place because my one of my favorite subject is Malaysian Studies and I hope I will develop this place.
