After setting our tummies in Pulau Perak just after the snorkeling, we continued sailing towards the nearby island, Pulau Putri or commonly known as Princess Island.

Check out the abundance of fish swarming and blanketing the shallow bay of the island. At a first glance, I thought it was a pile of garbage but I was wrong. You can count the fish swimming in it. Lol!

Just so you know, Pulau Putri has its underwater aquarium which gives its visitors with an incredible close - encounter experiences of different varieties of fish and corals.

Wait a minute, did we just spot a huge monitor lizard lazing on the side of the shore? Creepy! >.<

The island tour guide said that it was a regular inhabitants and was domesticated on the island so no need to worry about it as they rarely attack humans. Huh! But still give me goosebumps. I keep on looking at carefully on the path while walking so to prevent from stepping on them unwittingly.

After a 20-minute guided island walk, the teachers can't wait to splash in again into the water.....this time...in a swimming pool (to rinse off maybe the sticky, salty effect after snorkeling XD)
Pulau Putri comes with a sizeable pool....
I could barely smile with my sun-tanned skin :(

Ok time to go back now to Harapan island. It was just in time for the sunset giving us the good view to catch the last glimpse of the day's light.

Finally, arrived to Pulau Harapan.

Teachers Escapade: Day 1 - Island Hopping at Harapan, Bira, Perak and Gosong Islands

Image
Date of Exploration: 6-8 January 2015 Back from holiday....back to reality. Our 3D2N trip in Pulau Seribu was indeed very fun and relaxing. Pulau Seribu, or commonly known as Thousand Islands was located at the northern part of Jakarta's coast. I do in fact miss the sun and the beach so much!!! A few days ago, I visited few of the major islets in Pulau Seribu with my colleagues. These are the Harapan, Bira, Perak, and Gosong islands. The Muara Angke Pier. Despite the 90 minutes bumpy long drive from Muara Angke pier to Pulau Harapan (our first stop and where our villa is located), we are absolutely rewarded with the majestic views of the Java Sea which tooks us taking lots of pictures with our photographers onboard, Ms. Marilou and Ms. Mona. Too many photos to edit, so I created a collage out of it. Let them load! ;) It's time for us teachers to unwind and refresh ourselves before going back to our routines....and be attuned with nature..... Pulau Bira, onc...

Quick Getaway with Mom at Manleluag Spring National Park

Image
I rarely get to spend quality one-on-one time with my mom because of my busy schedules and an ocean away from her since I'm working abroad, but we managed to take time off for a much needed mother-daughter bonding time recently at Manleluag Spring National Park, Mangatarem Pangasinan. Two swimming pools of this protected landscape are filled with warm, mountain water that was really soothing to the nerves and soul. So I think Mom would love it! Happy to see her smile that day with all the gorgeous snaps ;) Look Up style according to Mom. :D :D :D We were both really refreshed and rejuvenated after the short dip at the pool, and so glad for the precious time there together! Gonna make it a point to bring her back more often ;) Afterwhich, because we were really close by, we decided to drop by to my mother - in - law's place for a quick snacks and to witnessed the birthday celebration of my husband's niece. Party!!! Party!!! Party!!!

Spotted many freestanding sculptures which adds life and humour to the site's natural grace. FREDERICK CHOPIN, the most eminent Polish composer   Overlooking to this was the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage, where music enthusiasts regularly gathers there for some orchestral performances.   Girl on a Bicycle   Girl on a Swing, sculptured by Sydney Harpley, R.A The exuberant "Swing Me Mama" The Swiss Granite Fountain    There are more delighted artworks but it seems the rain can't no longer wait for us and so we spent the hours back again in the Botany Centre while waiting for the rain to stop. Spotted different styles of Christmas tree and decors. The Clock Tower of Singapore, a gift from the Patron Lady Yuen - Peng McNeice, December 1998. Christmas spirit is on the air. I was surprised only few people visit this p...
