First of many


It's been a long time since I went camping. I think the last I went was probably in primary school.. Unable to secure a chalet for our stay at Pangkor last weekend, we decided that we'll camp by the beach.. It was a last minute decision and all the hotels on the island were already booked up.. God blessed us with good weather.. There was not a single drop of rain while we were on our trip there, that was really remarkable since it was raining everywhere else.. I must say that we had the coolest looking tent on the bay..


Saw beautiful sunsets on all our 3 days there.. Each sunset was different.. All breathtaking in its own special way..
 Saw my first ever shooting star.. First of many more I hope..


We slept under the stars on the 2nd night.. The boys built us a fire that kept us warm throughout the night.. Had the dogs and bats sing us lullabies to sleep.. not forgetting the karaoke down the bay or the 'entertainment' from our neighbouring tents.. If you can't beat those karaoke peeps, you join em.. Just not at 2am in the morning though..

Only downside to the trip was that the waters were really murky, although I must say that where we camp, we had the cleanest waters.. The locals there were so laid back that they were so disinterested in selling or serving us our meals..

I'm glad though that our campsite had toilets and a shower area.. Not the best or cleanest but thankful that we did not have to dig a hole in the jungle somewhere lol..

Camping.. was not the first, definitely won't be the last..
