First day at Bidung

First look at Bidung Island,I was amazed..The island was marvellously beautiful.It was the first time Im on boat explorin the broad ocean.We were commanded to gather according to our groups namely Ketam(the one im in),Pari,Udang and Jerung..

Our first activity for the day was 'Water Confident'.We were ordered to wear the safety jacket so that we would not get drowned in the sea.I was so excited at first to get into the cold water but that was until we were required to swim to the boat which was in the middle of the sea.It was exhausting..Seriously,it was EXHAUSTING!

I swam to my best eventhough I felt like just dying out there."GOD,just take me now" that was what in my mind when I felt so tired and can't move further.Finally,I made it.I got on the boat!!

To my surprise.we were asked to jump into the sea from the boat.After came back to shore,I throw up 4 times.Tats sickening.I felt so dizzy and unstable.Thats for the first day.

The second day was the most enjoyable day in the whole expedition.We had four activities which are kayaking,fishing,snorkling and jungle trekking.We did the fishing first.We managed to catch 20 fish(fuyoo) hehe..thats because so many people vomit to feed the fish hehe..Then,we went for snorkling..The view under the sea is WOW!Thats all I can say.It was like Im living in the world of finding Nemo.It was so colourful under there.The colourful fish swimming around us so close and the beautiful corals?Its an once in a lifetime experience.I even saw a fish in a rainbow colour.
Next activity was jungle trekking.The facilitator brought us into the jungle and told us the history of the island.The island was full of Vietnamese once upon a time.It was a transite island for them to immigrate to other countries.Finally,we were taken to the Pantai Barat Bidung for kayaking.We were briefed by the instructor on handling the kayak boat.It was tiring to row the boat yet it was fun.After that,we did fish barbeque at night.Thats how the second day at Bidung ended.

The third day was started with group performance.Then,prize giving ceremony.My group won a hamper.Then,its the time for us to go back.If I got the chance to go back there,I would not think twice...:D
