On 18 September 2010, I've decided to tag along PeiShing's trip to Jerejak Island. The plan was to meet at 9am at the Jerejak Jetty to take a ferry ride to the Jerejak Island.
I tagged along ChekHwa's car and we fetched LipHoo on the way. We even made a u-turn back to ChekHwa's house to take his sport shoe because he didnt know that we would be having activities there. He thought we are going there for sight seeing! LOL.. After the de-tour, we still reached the Jerejak Jetty at 9am as scheduled.
But turned out, only 7 people are punctual. The other 6 embrace the TRUE MALAYSIAN TIMING!
We sat down and waited.... chatted, played games in our handphones, took some photo, read newspaper... in between, complaining how late the rest were. LOL!

welcome to Jerejak Jetty
Before starting our day, a group photo first!
Then we headed off for our ferry ride.
The ferry took bout 10-15 minutes to reach Jerejak Island. Upon reaching, we were lost! Haha we have no idea where to go. Thankfully there's a lady who was kind enough to lead us to the lobby of the resort where we are supposed to meet our "tour guide". We sat at the lobby eating CS's chocolate cake and some went to the washroom.
Then we headed off to our first activity. Archery.
100% concentration
But luckily I played once (with unlimited arrow) during my trip in Damai Laut 2 years ago. I missed the first arrow against the target board, but managed to hit the target with the 2 arrows. But not bull's eye la...
After each of us had a turn in archery, we headed off to the second activity, Wall Climbing.
I've tried wall climbing once during a school camp in Form 1, and I suck in it. LOL I cant climb! I barely lifted myself from the ground. LOL
All the guys had their turn first before we girls tried.
I had difficulties starting out. I couldnt get a firm grip to support myself. But thanks to the other 12 companions who gives instructions on which stone I should step on and which stone I should grip with my hands helped me.
I did not reach the very top of the 8meters track, but I am still satisfied with what I've achieved this time. Thank you everyone for your help! :D
13 spidermen and women with the RM800 "underwear"
We were told that not more than 5 people should be crossing the bridge at the same time. I wasnt afraid of heights so this activity wasnt really my concern... or at least I thought so.

At the other end of the bridge, another activity is waiting for us. Flying Fox!
Although this is going to be my 3rd experience in flying fox, it still gives me chills that I'll be FLYING ACROSS A LAKE (or is it a mini dam?) HANGING BY A ROPE!
After wearing the "underwear" aka harness and a cap that makes us looks like construction workers, off we go one by one sliding through the rope screaming or whooping with excitement!
I screamed at the beginning but nevertheless I enjoyed the ride! :D
After the first four activities, we were given a rest before lunch begin! On our way downhill, we saw the Obstacles Circuit. The guys started to dare among themselves to do the Tarzan Swing. Edwin was so unfortunate to fall into the pool full of mosquitoes!
After that, we hanged out by the poolside while waiting for those who need to use the washroom. In the meantime the guys had a "stripping and throwing" party. Ryan and Ah Pek was the victim. The rest roared with laughter while snapping pictures of the stripping and throwing. LOL
splash!
everyone except for CS the photographer
At 2.30pm, we headed back to the lobby to look for our "tour guide". He told us that remaining two activities are Jungle Trekking and Cycing. We dont really fancy Jungle Trekking as there's nothing much to see. So we opted to rent balls and play some games at the beach.
We rented two balls - football ball and a volleyball ball for a deposit of RM50 each which are refundable when we return them. We then play modified Netball and Football game by the beach. It was fun especially each time when our ball bounced towards the sea, you can see Ah Pek zoom-ed flying at 200km/hour catching the ball. (He paid for the deposits) LOL~
Forgot to take pictures.
Then we headed back to our last activity, cycling!
Most of them were pro cyclers already. While the rest went cycling at the jungle trekking route, me and some of the non-pro cyclers stayed behind and cycle around the area. We were only supposed to cycle for half an hour but in the end we cycled for around 1 hour!
After we returned the bicycles, we headed towards the beach for a a group picture before we leave Jerejak Island.
Took the 6pm ferry boat ride back to Penang. Overall, it was a fun outdoor day for me. Hope it was for the rest too!
And I definitely exercised and sweated a lot. Felt like a dead corpse the next day... and suffered whole body ache for the next 3 days!
