Tioman Trip UPDATE

Sup peeps!

Walaa there goes our 1 and half year of A levels ! So whats the next happening?? Our class trip of course!!

Apparently there's some complication due to Transnational part of negligence, in the website they clearly stated it take us 3hours to be there (KL-Mersing) HOWEVER its in fact staggering 6hours of journey, believing it was 3hrs we were induced to take on the bus at 9am, where we intenmd 2 board a 230pm ferry. With the real time of 6 hours, we can only be there by 3pm which means we will miss the ferry.

HOWEVER, thanks to the amazing me and my negotiation skill =P we manage to arrange a bus ride in advance at 8am, that will enable us to be there at 2pm. Therefore ALL must be at the bus station before 8 where we will be leaving approximately at 8am, u dont wnat to miss the ship....

AND by the way..the bus are only EXCLUSIVELY catered forthe 17 of us..aint it awesome ? =DD


Ivan

hello hello

alyssa here :)

i feel the need to post because its so damn hard to talk through the cbox. so about the trip..

first of all, there's no point in going so bloody early because we'll be half dead if you want to go there at freaking 3am. so you want to sit there at the lobby and stone till we get to check in at 2pm? i think not!

and second of all, its damn dangerous. my mum says we're going to get robbed. we dont want that to happen do we? :) also, midnight bus is not safe. you dont know how reliable the bus driver is when the roads are so dark. i dont want to have to explain to your parents why their son/daughter didnt make it home. if you know what i mean. ;)

third, ivan said there's nothing much to do there so what's the point in going so early, really? and if your excuse is you want to go there early just because you want to watch the sunrise, i suggest you go to google images and search for sun rise. :) they have pretty pictures i assure you. besides, you can stay awake the next day and see it. plus, its not THAT romantic to watch the sunrise lah. we going class trip. not going with our other half also. lolwtf.

so i think we should just stick to the original plan and go for the 9am bus. its called a holiday if you didnt know. holidays are suppose to be fun and relaxing and not going there half dead at 3am in the morning.

the other thing is, i dont think you ppl are going home after prom right? cause its quite inconvinient to come all the way to kl again? you all staying in a hotel? anyway, im trying to ask my mum if we can get her friend's apartment unit so that you all can bunk in for the night of prom so that we can all wake each other up the next day and not be late. by the way, the apartment unit is the same condo where im staying which is only 10 mins away from the pudu raya station. i will update you people on that. :)


am i awesome or what? lol. ok dont answer that.

anyway, tell me what you think !

Again..democracy...TIME

Sup!

Below are the shifts available for the ferry from Mersing to Tioman, according to Mr Insider the ferry will consume two hours, and frm Pudu to Mersing,requres bus ride of 3 hours, so lets decide when shall we step off

15/6 Monday(Ferry Shift)

12pm
230pm
430 pm

An early shift such as 12pm would mean an early wakeup call since its 3hrs ride of bus, please do take note traffic conditions in the mornings are somehow unpredictable and we might not make it in time

Later Shift such as 230 pm would mean the opposite of its cousin(1230) but we can only reach Tioman ard 5, and therefore least leisure.

In generel:
Ferry(12pm shift)
Pj/Sj-KL(half an hr without jam) bus(pudu-mersing)- 9am-12pm Ferry(mersing-tioman)- 12pm-2pm Tioman( 2pm!)

Ferry(230pm shift) everything delayed 2-3hrs later


The decision is urs, please poll !

Ivan

Places to look out for =DD

Swimming Pool

Tioman's view

Snorkeling

Part of recreation room

Our Room!

We owe it to Mr Insider =D

Sup!

Good news! the rooms are available and 'Mr Insider' has processed the bookings for us, which includes roomrates,BBQ dinner(1 night), Ferry To and Fro ( RM133+RM65+RM80=RM278), other meals we will settle once we are there, i am sure you all don't want to be only eating hotel food lol, moreover meals there ain't just a penny it will cost ,lets hope there are restaurants nearby =x the snorkeling would be at our own as well upon considering the welfare of everyone.

We owe it to Mr insider =D

Thanks
Ivan

To all Creditors =P

Sup!

A gentle reminder, those that haven't settle their prom payments, please do so by Monday, its Rm140 that ought to be paid ya :)

Thanks,
Ivan

Superior Rooms

Sup!

As you all can see after dividing the rooms to 3 person, the superior room would be the most economical room(you are looking at a room rates of RM132 for two nights), so therefore we will stick and proceed with the bookings of 6 superior rooms, because there is a possibility June might be joining us as well, we will share the additional cost among ourself where it would be minimal of value, so no worries :)

Miscaellenous costs such as snorkeling,buffet etc will be dealt with seperately on the shores of Berjaya Resort as not all will find it appealing to their likings.

Thanks!
Ivan

Quotas for 16pax provided by Mr 'Insider' :P

Quotation for the 16 pax to Berjaya Tioman

Standard Room (2 persons) = RM 168 per room with 2 breakfast
Superior Room (3 persons) = RM198 per room with 2 breakfast FREE 1 more person breakfast
(all this room rate is under employee rate)

Buffet Dinner RM 70 per person (after discount rate RM 55 per person)
BBQ Dinner RM 80 per person (after discount RM 65 per person)

1 Snorkeling trip to Renggis Island (including gear, mask, snorkel, fin and life jacket) RM 25 per person

Ferry RM 80 (to & fro)

Tioman Trip

Sup!

Apparently Paya Indah's fully booked till 20th June which would be very inconvenient, therefore we will be crushing our nights on Berjaya Resort. Thanks to some insiders we got our self some pretty awesome rates:

(Rooms inclusive of breakfast) PER DAY BASIS
Standard Chalet-RM168
Superior Chalet-RM198
Deluxe Chalet-RM228

However it excludes lunch,dinner,snorkeling, and trasport fees

It would be more equitable if we get the snorkeling gears seperately instead of going by a package as some might be land-dwellers or perhaps nt convenient to be in the seas. In addition, it gives all of you discretion on what sort of rooms you want to spend your nights on with few ranges available.

Do let us know what sort of rooms are you looking for, so we can process the bookings ASAP. Regardless of who you are or how you find it wasting time, each and everyone going have the obligations to reply in the chatbox on what rooms are you all opting BY TOMORROW ( 28th May 09) so arrangement can be made for we fear it will be booked as well.

Decision made in the chatbox would be final, so please do it with cautious :)

Thanks!

Ivan

Why Tioman !

Sup people!

After polling sessions with numerous votes, it was pretty obvious that YES we are young people whom crave to test our limits by opting fore more activities and more nature! So we will be looking at resorts that tend to offer betetr facilities and better varieties of activities.

The question is WHERE? We are running out of time here, sad to say in malaysia we are only offered either highlands or beaches..WHO wants to go Genting and Cameron la am i nt right, so leave us with beaches. Few were proposed, Pangkor,Tioman, Redang etc. Seems we don't get along well with Pangkor with countless rejections, and i guess a reminiscence of 'bad experience' eh M***Y ?? :P

So its the final showdown between Lang Tengah & Tioman ! Speaking of Chris Allen & Adam Lambhert..ohboy still upset with the results, how can ADAM nt win LARRR. Back to the beaches.

No doubt ,Lang Tengah offers much more varieties of activities, ranging frm snorkeling, to scuba diving to whatever and a serenic view! BOY u shld google search it, WONDERFUL!, BUT located 8hours away ( by Bus) and 1hr away ( By Plane), where price ranges between rm480-rm650 which is off budget, and the 8 hours ride is pretty deterring..erhem exspecially to spoiled brats, including YOURS Truly :D

So that leave us with the option of Pulau Tioman! Its of affordable budget, 3 hours ride away, where i believe would be the preferrence of the vast majority, howeevr if compared to Lang Tengah it offers lesser activities, but well its the company that counts right?

So please let us know what you think, Tioman would be our first choice for now unless there are better options available, Please do let us know with EVIDENCE, MATERIALS, WEBSITE whatever, not just an empty statement for we really are running short of time :)

If there aren;t any objections, I would assume Tioman would be acceptable and start arranging it.

Thanks!
Ivan

This Is Ivan Here! :) :) :)

Hello! This is Elyse. typing for Ivan here because Ivan dunno how to type properly so he needs help lah. Since I'm so kind...

Ivan dictates (and no I'm not joking, this is really Ivan beside me, dictating):

"Since people are now all fussed up, choosing between Tioman and Lang Tengah, I think I'll do you guys a favour in picking the one preferred by the majority. Which is Tioman! So... it's settled on Tioman ok? Ask your parents if you can go and we'll confirm by tomorrow so we can book before A2 starts."

Ivan says you can blame him if this is too demanding. So don't shoot the messenger! (or rather, the typist)

Ok bye bye!

Details, Details!

Thanks!

Classs Trip!! (For Real This Time)

Hey Peeps!

Guess we are all pretty much burying ourself with piles of books or notes , so now take some time off,schroll down and start reading this!

First stop, a news where i find it pleasing ! Out of 18 of us, 16 are going for prom now !! See how well bonded we are? =x (although he/she who shall not be mentioned claims its HER fastest spending of RM14o) =p

We will start off with a survey now before approaching the 1st step of shortlisting varieties of beaches,highlands or whatever, never good with geography. Due to budget constraint, obviously we need to forgo certain qualities.So we are left with two options now:

Would you all prefer a least( not none) comfy and luxurious accomodations and resort but exposed to nature and complemented with thrilling and adrenaline rushing activities( Water and Land) OR would you all prefer to pamper yourself with a luxurious accomodation, compensating pressure faced during A2 and relax yourself in appealing resorts, hotels or scenery and beaches but with least activities if compared to the forst option?

AND is a RM500 budget reasonable ? Or would you rather save and minimise the amount of money and tolerating a not-so-nice trip? Please do let us know as we are out of time here.

Thanks ! and do reply :)

Wise Old Man

Read to the end...

A giant ship engine failed. The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine. Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was young. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed!

A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.

"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"

So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."

The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer...... ......... ........ $ 2..00

Knowing where to tap.......... .......... ...... $ 9,998.00

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort makes all the difference .


Guys, I find this very meaningful.. Hope this little message will inspire u to greater heights! :)

Faststrong DONKEY

The Pastors Ass

The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.
The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in another race and it won again.

The local paper read:
PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT

The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.

The next day, the local paper headline read:
BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey.
The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.
The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day:
NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN

The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10.

The next day the paper read:
NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.

The next day the headlines read:
NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE

The bishop was buried the next day.

The moral of the story is . . Being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery, even shorten your life.

So be yourself and enjoy life. Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll be a lot happier and live longer!

THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM

Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guestroom. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, 'Things aren't always what they seem.'


The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field? The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen? The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.


'Things aren't always what they seem,' the older angel replied. 'When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it.'

'Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem.'

Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. You might not know it until some time later.... Some people come into our lives and quickly go... Some people become friends and stay a while....leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts.... and we are never quite the same because we have made a good friend!!
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!
