Last saturday, our course went to pulau bidong for a field trip or what they called as Operasi Laut. haha…..go out sea again after one year. so fast one year has passed after the Survival Laut Program. At first excited ler.. can sit boat and go somewhere. or else its just campus, go back home, mydin, sleep, finish report and the whole cycle continues. Majority of my close frens also go together including my hubby *.* hehe only 15 ppl from my course. hmmm….wonder what we do leh for this operasi laut. sound geng or not…? fishery student sure must go out ke laut la to catch fish. or else how to lead next time right…cheh wah… puji diri ady…. ok… 3 main activities there….
1. tangkap ikan- pukat tunda (trawling)
the catch wasn’t that much that i’ve expected. fish a bit only and others are trash..as in those that cant be eaten…also saw sand dollar, ikan sebelah, sea cucumber…small small fishes. oh we even caught seahorse and hermit crab. We didnt do much for this pukat tunda. we are suppose to write report also after this. usually trawling takes 2 hours.. so fisherman just wait n wait…n when the pull it up and see so few yield…haih how sad right.
then during this activity also many of my frens also started to feel dizzy dizzy d…..then start to vomit!!! omg!!! the experience i would not forget lerr my whole life…. saw one guy vomit everthing out right in front of me… that time me, hubby, wk n boon sumor eating twisties and choc cake happily… aiyo!! not only once…many many times wei!!!! then we reach the island d…rest..eat…take bath and up for second activity.

2. Memancing + Pukat hanyut(gill nets)
this is worst… as in start to feel tired d…whole day on boat and the boat moving left right left right…..then after released to net into the sea n have to wait also for 2 hours like tat, we try to fish using the mata kail that we tied during practical that time. unfortunately…we didnt get any fish that day. i ddnt get anyting except for seeing my frens vomit again..aiyo…imagine while fishing n looking into the water…suddenly see got white white brown brown thing floating in the sea. i sumor ask ’siapa punya tu??!’ then sh at the other side there vomiting n weak ady…kesian i tengok.. got many other ppl vomit also n sea sick…even big guys like eddy also.. my god. luckily me n hubby also ok lerr….hehe..we didnt get anything from fishing n pukat hanyut…then we chao back to island. oh ya… pukat hanyut get jelly fish only which are useless and fishing got one guy got 3 fishes from his own fishing rod.
when reach island d then still early ma…we can do what we want…thats the best part- swimming!!! wah so long nvr swim d then go rendam in seawater for duno long. quite long ler…till puas. super puas and relaxing wei…  haha think also happy d… can feel the warm water and when we reach thermocline where the temperature suddenly drops…wahhhh….super relaxing. just float and do ntg =)=)=)
after dinner and rest and its time for the third activity =)

3. candat sotong- jigging
thought it was fun… lastime go redang that time didnt get to go candat sotong as it was expensive. now got chance to experience it! i feel the best part is sit boat into the sea at night. really a great experience that i’ll nvr forget. where its night and the only source of light u have is from your boat. its was windy and the wave was strong….the feeling was amazing…a bit scared also like what if the boat terbalik or sum1 fall into the sea. really cant help d lo…. oh.. and basically candat sotong is where u put the umpan down till the sea bottom and move the string up. up n up n up…my god. just do that till u dapat candat the sotoong lo.my hand tired like hell but still didnt get any. sad la…go fishing didnt get, candat also tak doh….not my luck lerr..
then go back island liao….no fish no sotong=no barbecue
nothing to do= sleep =) until……… suddenly…..all the lights off!!! generator spoil….oh no..in total darkness wei….sumbody help me….. oh then i realised i got torchlight in my bag.. happy sikit…can shine shine on ppl… after much talking and decision making coz duno sleep where as the hostel room is stuffy…we still try to sleep in the room lo….lie down a while then sleep d lo…haha sleepy head la me. woke up once only got mosquito then sleep back til they wake us up oh at 7. walau eh….that type of condition also can sleep like pig. without pillow lagi and bedsheet also ppl sleep b4 one.n sandy everywhere also can sleep…when wake up that time thought can go bck d…yay!!! but….story havent end. it rained and current was very strong. what to do…have to wait till it subsides til until 9 something or 10 only started to take boat back to merang jetty. at last!can go back n take bath properly d! it was full of experience and i believe it will be with me throughout my life!
Life is full of experience and i’ll never regret my decision to come to terengganu to study and meet a whole new lot of ppl..hehe just must tolerate the simple basic condition in pulau bidong.

as i type this it was 245 am and still awake. coz u know why??i just woke up lo. cant tahan just now so sleep d. hubby now eating the maggi mee that i cook and me now must ganbatte!many things to do! chao!!
