Man I miss the beach already.
I just had the awesome-est weekend last week! Me and sis have a friend in MMU who is from Port Dickson and is a sailor since young. He invited us over to his guest house and offered some private free sailing lessons. My gosh such a rare deal! We've always wanted to try this kind of water sport :D And so we nodded fervently to this plan and invited 2 of our friends to come along.
Cozy living room and great sound system that plays a lot of Oldies. Niceeee!
Back door that leads to the beach! Love the sea so much!!!
Warm sun, blue sky, calm sea and numerous white sail boats. That's Port Dickson!
The not-to-miss shoes shot!
Purposely not wearing my cons so that I could play in the water. ^__^
Found a rock with the shape of a love and......Teehee!
Coach Alvin gave us some short briefing before the sail. Some sailing techniques and what to beware of during the sail. The name of the boat is Laser! :D
After the briefing, we went for lunch at Port Dickson's McD. We chose to go to McD for lunch as the particular McD outlet is located just beside the beach! After our lunch, the sail begins! Woohoo damn excited! Many young sailors were having training that day in the middle of the sea, with a few coaches in a big motor boat supervising them. First, Alvin took steph with him with the boat and dropped her at the motor boat. Then he went back to pick the remaining of us.The remaining of us: Me, Yikxin and Bobo get to sit in a boat together with Alvin, and I got the boat tip seat which was super awesome! The bellowing wind, splashing sea water as the sail boat cruised over the rough waves, what a thrilling experience indeed! At first we didn't dare to touch the sea water at all in case there're some huge fishes or horrible unknown sea monsters watching us underneath the sea water. Then when we had gotten used to it, we kept trying to place our feet into the water or splash the sea with our hands haha. Never know sailing could be sooooo much fun!
He dropped us onto the motor boat and picked steph for some individual sailing lessons. Some 15 or 20 of young sailors under 15 yrs old were having sailing training in the middle of the sea, and 2 coaches were on the motor boat supervising them. It was an amazing scene. It kind of shocked us to see how young most of the sailors are and how good they control their sail boats! Cruising left, right, controlling the rudder and aiming the red striking colour buoy.
Me and yikxin were kinda tempted by the sea water as we saw some kids dipping themselves in the water while hanging on to the motor boat. After encouraged by the coach, me and yikxin had a swim in the warm sea hehe. (Bobo doesn't know how to swim) But the wave was quite strong and we half kicking ourselves to stay afloat and half hanging onto a rough rope from the motor boat for our dear lives. Although we all wore our life jackets, but the waves were still a bit too much for us to handle lol. We got very tired in a short time, and had hard time struggling to climb onto the motor boat again hehe. The.sea.was.awesome!!
After we had our individual sailing lessons from coach Alvin, which involved me getting my head hit by the swinging boom twice, we headed back to the beach. We sat in the water for a really long time, enjoying the warm low tide sea water, treasure hunt-ed by the beach searching for pretty shells, mini crabs, and killed a small lala (we didn't know by force opening a lala could kill it! Just curious to see what's inside ._.), and tried to build a sand castle but failed miserably. Oh how I love the sea!!
My activity after bath and before our dinner: Stalking people sailing through the binoculars. No hot guys for me to stalk one. hahaha.
Oyster omelette!! This dish looked so yummy at first glance with the big fat juicy oysters, but when we dug in, it is full of flour and the oysters were not fresh enough. The other dishes like salted egg fried sotongs and marmite prawns were also not very tasty. But its still okay as the price were quite cheap!
After our dinner, Alvin brought us to visit his house and drank some Chinese tea.
And psst! His bro was kinda handsome! /blush hehe.
Later that night, Alvin brought us to his family club, The Yacht Club. His family loves to hang out in this club and it is for members only! We were feeling so exclusive able to visit this old school bar haha.
My little moustachie. Not feeling alcoholic that night, so orange juice it is! The songs were all oldies and the elders love it here, dancing on the dance floor swaying to the music. Very romantic much! This is a totally different life here and I'm really glad I can experience the other side of the culture. This is way more romantic than watching movies and having fine dining in an expensive restaurant. <3 p="p">
They have a pool beside too! ^___^
We had sailing on the next day too. It was a lot more windy on Sunday, and the wave got really aggressive. I thought it wouldn't be a good idea to steer the boat myself, might as well let Alvin control the boat. The boat was quite fast from the harsh waves and once our boat nearly capsized! Luckily we managed to balance it and sailed back to the beach safely haha. SO FREAKING AWESOME! Sometimes I secretly imagine what will happen if the boat overturned :P it was a really common thing for sailing according to Alvin.
Good bye our little hard rock hotel (Drew by a foreigner haha)
(That girl above is steph) Thats all for our PD trip! Really appreciate our friend Alvin for teaching us how to sail. It was a really rare experience and I would definitely like to try it again!
Thats all for the pd post. Time for some jogging now. Argh I'm so tanned! Ciaoz!

Had a stroll on a rocky beach after bath.
Our dinner! We searched online for any recommended stalls to dine in and it lead us to this place near Lukut. Not nice one -___-" The ikan bakar was so so only, lost to the ikan bakar at Melaka. :9
