Karimun Jawa...worth every penny and sunburn

Things that I thought could only be seen on TV, I saw it with my own eyes few days ago.How could there be such beautiful things. Things that I thought looked like fake but it is the real one(actually the fakes immitate the real ones :P) because the colour is just so...colourful(all this while I thought the ocean is only blue :P)

Nak pergi tempat cantik, perjalanan pun 'cantik' jugak la kn.Ini route die : Jogja-Jepara(pelabuhan)-Karimun.
Dari Jogja ke Jepara adela dlm 4-6jam bergantung pada keadaan lalu lintas. Dari Jepara ke Karimun pulak lagi 6jam(ade kapal yg 3jam tp byran 3x ganda la dr feri 6jam).So about 12jam journey...The cost can be refer to Nazirul's page. But basically all of it. From Jogja back to Jogja, homestay, all the activity, foods and souvenir were about 1 juta (RM350).

Anyways, didnt really mind the hours of travel(on the ferry) because I just love to enjoy scenes of nature..the clouds,the sea, the sun, never fail to amaze me. When we arrived there, we were welcomed by Mas Alex. Mas yg sengal...So as his frenz who we met later

SNORKELING
Even though we wore life jackets, jumping into the ocean is aint easy. Knowing that the ocean is a place with no boundaries makes me feel quite nervous in the beginning. But once I took the leap and  opened my eyes, the first thing that I saw was BREATHTAKING,literally. I was really taking a breath of amazed(eventhough we do breath with our mouth). The ocean was so crystal clear, every details can be seen. In pictures,it may seem a lil bit dull but believe, it was very colourful in reality... 

SWIMMING
I dont now how to swim,which makes me even scared (pdhal dah pakai life jacket). Everytime I got near to the coral reefs to close, I panicked :P but then, lots of people gave the encouragement and so learn how to swim. As soon as I released my life jacket, it wasnt too long for me to be able to swim. Well, there was other FACTORS that helped me a lot.  
TQ Fatin for the support =)
Sifu renang. Bkn yg seblah kanan k :P
  • Snorkeling mask(so I wont worried from out of oxygen)
  • Snorkeling fins (saves my energy)
  • The ocean (higher density, more buoyancy)
  • Being a women itself (heheee...)




Haziq org plg byk dive
Napia pose plg cool
DUCK DIVE
Is to dive without oxygen tank. To do this, first thing is u have to know how to swim. Since I cant really swim,so...anyways to do duck dive,firstly "badan kayak jarum". ur butt n ur legs are like the back of the needle :P then dive. sounds easy but it aint.cause u tend to float again. Then when u get to dive, in 3 meters deep u'll feel a pressure that would burst ur ears n for panic people like me, as soon as the water enters the snorkeling mask, u'll be hurrying wanting to breath. But if u r able to do that, u r sooo lucky to see the beautiful corals =)
Ini je yg ak mampu. Itupun Pak Dol yg tarik ke bawah :P


LAZYING AT THE BEACH

While group yang gile renang and diving where finding nemo, er joo, fadhli, imran and me (geng2 xtau berenang except fadli tp die pn malas berenang) choose to sit back and relax..and maybe some "Nike commercial" act. Fadhli sendiri yg request k(xde sape pakse die)
how could sands be moulded like this?

SWIM WITH SHARKS AND TURTLES

That turtle sure knows how to give love bite :P
"Patrick"
Er, turtle tu lagi garang la.zzzz

TASTE OF FRESHNESS
Believe me, even if you go to a high class,expensive,exclusive (exaggerate gile2) restaurant, you wont find fish as fresh as this. After being in the water for hours, eating frsh 'ikan bakar' with  'sambal belacan' and 'sambal kicap' is the best!




JUST ENJOY THE VIEW....
Karimun is like a whole new world. Even hours on the boat looking only at the clouds,sea and sun, the scenery is always breathtaking (cuma bontot je kamatu).
