This is the first time I am writing
about my trip.The reason is simple. I got a chance to experience something that
I was not sure if I could ever make it..Yes..An experience that I will never
forget ..something so beautiful that I never imagined that I will see and feel
it..
It all begun with a plan to Perhentian .An Island in
Malaysia .I was talking to a friend and told him that I am planning a trip and
suddenly we made a plan to go to this beautiful island.
Till a week back no bookings were done and last moment ,place
changes and mind changes were happening but finally we 5 people made it.We took
a bus to koto bahru(although there is a story behind this bus booking but I can’t
share that..ok na Sneha;)) so we took an overnight bus and finally before the
sunrise we reached a place covered with a lot of trees .It was all green and
blue..Then we took a cab and then a ferry to reach one of the most beautiful
place I have ever seen..
Long Island – Yes this was the name of the island where we
went..First thing that made me smile was the White sand .we had breakfast and
got ready to go to the beach..As soon as we saw the water all of us just jumped
into it..Wow ……..it was blue and blue.The water was so clear ..everything was
so pleasant. After spending a lot of time in sea we went for our Scuba Diving
trainer.So there was this lady Jeanne David..A very expressive lady ..she
started explaining the equipments and gave us so many instructions.and after
the theory class we went to the water for our practice.one thing that I don’t want
to miss ..the signs that were shown in Zindgee na Milegi Dobara were the same
we used and we were complaining for the customization of OK sign and Go Up sign
:P :P
The mouth guard was a challenge for me ..My friends can
relate as per Khushboo, I have “Tambakoo wala Muh” so That guard was big enough
for me and I struggled a lot to handle that itself..and I wasted a lot of time
of my friend’s also..But when for the first time I went inside the water and
Saw some beautiful fishes floating in a musical form ..For a moment I forgot everything..My
Fear ..my struggle for getting comfortable inside the water and then I heard my
heart..I wanted to make it..I wanted to be a part of this experience.I did not
want to give up at any cost..But after so much of trials..My trained asked me
to stop.She said you do not qualify..You are not ready for it..and I again
asked for a last chance. I did not want to give up at all..that single moment
gave me the inspiration to try it one more time and my trainer finally said “YES”.
We went deep inside ..more deep..I saw few things that I
never saw before for real.I saw corals , so many pretty fishes..and so
much..Few things are in my memories..will remain there..
It was going fine but suddenly I felt some water in my
glasses and ut was going in my nose..for a moment I though , its over:P :P But
my trainer saved meJ
Its just because I get panic soon ..So the learning is: Be calm ..and things
get settle down..
We had rest and some nice food ..The day was enough and we
all were tired..Then we planned for Snorkeling for next day..It was again
something I never tried before..
I woke up early next morning and went to the beach alone
walking on the smooth and innocent sand and then on some rocks..
Spent some time with myself and then planned to go and pull everyone
as I felt they are wasting their time sleeping..finally we all were ready for another
experience..Snorkeling..
We went to Turtle point first..Could manage to see one
turtle only:P then the second spot was Fish Spot ..I jumped into the water with
my life Jacket On and all equipments on me..I started floating and looking
inside..I suddenly saw some most amazing fishes swimming next to me ..A moment I
could not make up my mind but then I asked my self to be calm and enjoy the
moment ..go with the flow..and then I took a deep breadth ..that was the moment
I stared swimming with the fishes..I really have no words to explain that
feeling..that particular moment , when I was appreciating God’s creation , his
innovation of beauty and my eyes were not ready to be close even for a moment..
I don’t even know the names of the creatures I saw that day..but what a momentJ Then the third point
was SHARK POINT ..yes ..we all were scared..Although we got the info that those
sharks are not dangerous..but everyone was waiting for the other to jump first
from the boat :P :P and I do not remember who was the first but I think I was
the last:P
But then I saw the first shark..yes the real one.Not too far
to me ,.but I did not even try to go close.But yes it was real and I was
feeling a dream ,..i was surrounded by so many pretty fishes that I ws feeling
like a mermaid J
Final point was the Nemo Point..yes our tiny and cute Nemo..
And we managed to see her too.Finally Everyone was tired but
Happy..Coming back in the boat ..No one was talking but everyone has a smiling
face..
I am really lucky to get a chance to see the real beauty
that God has created.Wish You all Get the chance..chance to be with yourself
..Float freely leaving the fear behind..I was so nervous and My heart beat was
fast ..before and later also ..but I would still say , What a wonderful moments
I had..
Cheers to Good Times @ Perhentian Guys ..Thanks to all my
friend who made it and because of whom , I could make this.Thanks for
supporting me when I was scared..Thanks a lotJ
