Our First Holiday - Shahr il 'Asal

Here are some photos from our first 'real' holiday together. Or Shahr il 'Asal as my friend called it :) If you want to know the meaning, open up your Arabic dictionary. What I meant by real is we went not because of work. It's 100% holiday but of course hubby has to take 1-2 phone calls related to work.

Just the two of us :)

After my SPM, a group of us went to PD for a 3 days 2 nights holiday under the supervision of one of my friend's parents. What do you expect from a group of girls? We really had fun. There were quite a number of couples at the beach at that time. Some of us would remark, "Oh that couple is so romantic... this couple is sooo.. romantic". And others would reply, "Alaaa... later when I have a boyfriend, I would walk at the beach just like that". That statement kinda stick to my head and I'd remember it whenever I'm at a beach. I'm glad that statement became a reality with dear hubby and snorkeling together kinda put the romantic scale at many many notch higher :)

The last time I had the chance to go snorkeling was at Perhentian. That was many years ago while I was still studying. This time I dare go further and deeper because hubby is around. I can't swim... yet :) The view was really amazing and breathtaking. I wish whatever my eyes saw can be captured in a video. Here's a video of colorful fishes at Taman Laut courtesy of a group of friends that shared boat with us.


I didn't know we can rent a camera for only RM50, complete with underwater casing. That is really a good deal considering underwater casing is as expensive as my camera and I might use it only once in a blue moon. This one is taken near the water surface. More photos below - all courtesy of the other group in the boat.

Watching the turtle is another amazing experience. The water is so blue and the sand so white. I'm just speechless.
