THE SECOND DAY
On the second day, or it can be describe as the wildest day of the trip, brought us some fun and unforgettable memories. As usual we had our breakfast at the mamak stall and gathered at the beach for our boat trip!! We separated into two groups and hopped on the boats. The uncle who is the driver-cum-diving instructor drove the boat at a neckbreaking speed. He brought us to visit the famous landmarks in Pangkor which included some beautiful natural formations. He also showed us the 'white beach', like its namesake, had white sand. We also saw the holiday resort that was built by YTL. He was so rich that he even bought his own island!
After all that, we went to the first diving spot. There were many corals and the sea was a different colour than that of the other parts of the sea. We were given our masks and slowly we dived into the sea. The corals were beautiful but in beauty lurks dangers. Some of the corals had sea urchins perched on them, and the uncle warned us that if we stepped on it, it would hurt like hell. After about 10-15 minutes, we boarded the boat again. We were going to the place where the fishes gather and be able to see the fishes in their natural habitat. Once we reached the place, we dived again. The water here was so deep that not many people could even touch the bottom! The most memorable moment here was when Johnny was bitten by a fish while he was trying to feed it. LOL!
After the diving session, we once again boarded the boat. We were brought to a beach where we were allowed to have a go at the banana boat. The first round people were the most unfortunate as they fell off the boat thrice. In the second round, the funniest thing that happened was when Johnny- instead of FALLING off the boat-JUMPED! LOL! He was scolded by the speed boat driver after that. The third rounders finished their rounds without much events.
After that, we were driven back to the resort. We took a break before going down for our lunch. Lunch was the same thing again, seafood and more seafood. However, it was good. After eating, we went for a ride on the bicycles to the adjacent beach, around 2km away. Johnny found a puppy and he together with Arjuna and Vikra reunited the puppy with his parents. After the hot and sweaty ride, we all went back to the resort for more captain ball. We played for more than 2 hours in the pool. The BPIM (refer to the first day for more info on this man)made a comeback towards the end of the game. When we went back to our rooms, we were practically starving. We finished FOUR packets of Oreo biscuits in less than 10 minutes! A world record!
We rested for a while again before going down for dinner. We had a barbeque dinner, with BBQ chicken wings, BBQ prawns and more BBQ-ed stuff (sorry, I can't remember well). Anyways this is where the crazy stuff started. Some of them brought beer and started drinking. Shim and Johnny were knocked out within the 1st or 2nd glass of beer and they went back to their rooms to rest. The stronger ones decided to go back to their rooms for a game of cards. Everything looked okay until Andrew (the main man of the day) got superbly drunk. He was stumbling arond in a drunken daze and was talking nonsense all the while. Apparently, he was walking from room to room just to drink with everyone. Then he went down and bought 2 bottles of beer and drank it all by himself. He was talking and some of his words could have been listed under 'The Most Memorable Quotes' in Morianz history. I will not go into detail on what he said; you might get shocked! A few people got drunk that night. In comparison to us, the people from other schools got so drunk that they couldn't even stand! Even their teachers got drunk! Anyways, everyone slept at 4+ a.m, except for some.
That is the end of the second day. Third day to be continued...
