Course Trip II: Pantai Remis - Pangkor - Setiawan

Coursemates bond gets stronger after the first trip and deng deng the second trip went being an impromptu ones. It started with one of them wanting to visit "pulau" which means island and another coursemate being generous offering his house for us to stay. This is roughly how this trip plan started. After two weeks, here we go. Note that it's not a holiday, we went between our classes. *no eye see*

Because of the limited transport and the amount of people who traveled, some of us will need to travel using the public transport. Here is how I learn to take the rapidpenang and the ferry. The journey took around 2 hours. Our first stop, Pantai Remis, a village which is not well known. The name of the village is a little misleading, there's no beach for you to build sandcastle but instead it's famous with their seafood, the keropok and ikan bakar is great!

The lunch, red bean ice blended and jawa mee.
 Our next stop to the turtle sanctuary. Somewhere deep into the forest, I had no idea how to go. It's just one lane road, go straight and it is somewhere there. There's nothing much to see except the amount of turtle they had. Anyway, we are lucky to watch the uncle feeding the turtle as it is their dinner time!
 A group photo with the auntie being so generous and friendly towards his son's coursemates. Thank you auntie for the hospitality. And to the neighbor, sorry for being very noisy that night, we are having our group game from the newly formed game department. The picture looks blur as we always loves groupfie, a little hand trembling or the resolution wasn't that high.
Wake up early morning for Pangkor! Our main destination :) Had our breakfast here in Pantai Remis before departing. The food here is cheap and delicious.
Reached the jetty on time but looking up at the sky seeing it turns greyish, not a good sign anyway. *sigh* But first, let's take a photo in front of the jetty before the ferry ride.
Reaching the island, rains started to fall. It started with drizzling and then thunder and lightning. Found out two boxes of mahjong and we starts playing around with it. Some learn and some teach, having different sifu and the beginner starts battling among each other. Everyone pick up very fast and started to get addicted on it.
After awhile, we finally headed to the beach. Rain still falling, but hey we are on the island no matter what, we need to step our feet on the beach. So, there we go carrying our umbrella and headed to the beach. Luckily, the rain finally stops. And it's water time. We wet ourselves and have fun splashing each other.
We came back to the beach at night for ostracod. Nothing seems like the picture you get to google, they claimed there's season for these living creatures to appear on the seashore. So, we had a tough time yet fun and exciting time searching those tiny creatures, catch it and keep inside a bottle but it doesn't last long anyway.
Group game again that night and ta-daaa, the sun rise and it's time to say goodbye again.
Our next destination, Setiawan :) Half of us here taking photo - our time those days. Visited the Tua Pek Kong temple, they believed this temple bring prosperity and wealth. Lunch being red wine mee sua from yahouy's mum. 
Hmphh.. let's see if there's another trip this semester ;) Going out with them save a lot, they are good in budget trip. This trip spent me around RM300 only which include transportation, accommodation and also food.
