I'm back from sisters island. I miss my com sooo much. Haha.

Set off at 4pm yesterday at Clifford Pier. Took a buoy to small sister island. The island is really small and 'ulu'. We were the only ones there. There's no source of light, electricity or whatsoever. There are only a few benches, a jetty, a toilet and surprisingly quite a number of rubbish bins. :S

Went fishing. I caught none. Nicholas caught a small fish. Heck with the name... I don't know what fish it is but its edible. Dad's colleagues caught a few. It was pathetic. Wrong season... not many fishes. Our first catch was a pathetic small crab. We barbecued it. Had barbecued food last night. It was horrible. Imagine eating a burnt chicken with seasonings and honey. :s Haha... the worst thing is... we forgot to bring cups and mesh tins. Brought cup noodles but no hot water. To conclude... dinner was horrible.

Went for a night walk. Since the island is so small... our night walk was like from the jetty to the toilet only. But it was scary, the toilet is at the other end of the island. It was pitch dark on the way to the toilet. The toilet has no lights too... eerie.

The weather was fantastic. Really cooling. Slept at the jetty. Wonderful experience! That excludes the fear of meeting a potianak. Haha...

Woke up just in time to see the sunrise. It was breathtaking plus the wonderful temperature there, it's totally awesome. If only someone was there to watch it with me, it would have been perfect.

The adults woke up later. Too bad they missed the sunrise. They started fishing again early in the morning. They were hoping to catch big fishes last night. But when they saw marine fishes at the shallow waters in the morning, they went crazy! They were like "Hey... catch those marine fishes! Can bring home sia. Outside sell one for $$$" DotZ! Went to the beach while the adults were still going ding dong over those marine fishes. Got bitten by a hermit crab. :s

Left the island at 1pm, reluctantly. The island is really beautiful. A totally new camping experience. It was fun!
