After a long time, I finally went on an overseas trip. Well, its just over the sea from Sentosa Island to the nearby Kusu Island as well as St. John's Island. Kekeke.
Well, though not very far, but at least it allowed me to escape from the city life for awhile, at least for 6 hours.
Unlike during the lunar 9th month, where a lot of devotees will visit the island to pray to the temple and keramat on the island, today was pretty quiet. I went with my colleague, Nurul. It was truly a day where we enjoyed, relax and temporarily forgotten about work stuffs.



Everything was so nice and relaxing, I suggested to my friend to organise a trip for a few close colleagues to come here and picnic. The ferry is 45 min from Sentosa, pretty near, the beach is pretty nice too, not crowded. But not advisable to swim there as there's no lifeguard on duty.

Anyway, both me and my friend were pretty excited when we saw a pretty huge turtle, swimming to the surface to grab the bread that we've thrown into the water. Hehehe, its said that seeing the turtle means good fortune and good luck. I certainly needed it. Both of us felt very privilledged as the turtle surfaced when there were no other people around. Think I'll not forget this moment.

The ferry from Kusu Island next goes to St. John's Island. Heard the brief and interesting about the island, and again we walked around. Went into the campsite, found a human chessboard, found a mosque and an rumoured haunted abandoned house, but I'm not as brave to go up the hill near the abandoned house. Main reason, its surrounded by tonnes of blood thirsty mosquitoes, (I've been donating my blood to mosquitoes since young, its about time i stop doing it already. ) And, I admit, I'm scared that I might have nightmares. LOL

Well, I'm very glad to have gone on this trip. Seems like everythng is pre-arranged. After going through a tough time with work, boss, school, boys, and able to go to Kusu Island, pray, felt at ease, and feeling better armed now to battle it out.

Appreciate the organisers to the trip. Kudos guys!
Looking forward to more exciting trips!
