The Crab Island - Pulau Ketam !

Ops! I think I did a slight mistake on the title of the last two posts. It's 18 days not 28 days. lol. sorry!
If 28 days in Europe we will be broke liao. lol. no wonder la friend thought I went there for a month. wtf.
I am so significant for you to notice that I was away for that long? I thought I am invisible to many. #patheticme #happyme

tbh I am getting lazier to update my blog about this trip already la. thanks for those who has been reading and supporting my blog.

kthanksbye

lol. no la. still will be writing, but have to wait the mood is back la.
In the mean time, I will be still writing about my trip, but, to Pulau Ketam!!

Pulau Ketam

Not like any other Pulau(s) in Malaysia, Pulau Ketam ain't no place for you to swim! (in case la, for those who don't know where is it LOL)
Pulau Ketam is only 30 minutes away from Port Klang by a speed boat, and 45 minutes away by an air-conditioned boat.
I don't remember how many times I have been here, but as far as I can remember, the last time I was here I was still in primary school or lower secondary school kot.
My uncle is a fishing hobbyist. That time I was with him for fishing. Everytime I fish I could just fished a pufferfish, and my uncle said that was 'suey' cos no other type of fish would get hooked by your bait after you hooked a puffer. wtf.
I didn't know my life is already suey when I was still little! fml
He has the point pun, cos puffers are poisonous, so the hook on your fishing rod will get contaminated after puffer bite the bait la. So no other fishes would dare to come already. T__T
That time onwards I thought fishing is not cool. hahaha. *gave up so easily
But I had a great time though. Until now I still remember how fun it was. I believe young kid nowadays won't have a chance to experience this pun. Children nowadays only busy tapping iPad and only in a special occasion will they put down their gadget and lift up their head to do something we would do when we were a kid.
But they are born in this generation, cannot blame the kid pun.

We went there at the first day of Hari Raya, and we didn't expect the queue at the jetty was SO LONG!
We went there by a speedboat after more than an hour of wait. *grumpy face
aH Wai travel tip : If to travel by speedboat, you actually can straight away cut the queue and get down to the jetty and ask for the ride. RM10 per person and no ticket is required. The queue is only for those who wish to go there by an air-conditioned boat. RM7 per an adult ticket.

The weather itself already got us so heated up, what makes us more angrier is that the people in the queue are not in line at all. *grumpy face x 2
aH Wai smart advice : just stay at home during public holiday

Pulau Ketam is a fish village. The people here mostly are the chinese.

Once you reach here just walk straight for about 3 minutes you will see a booth for people to sign up for a one-day guided tour to walk around the island.  It's RM15 per person. To visit fish farm, taoism temple, etc.
We didn't signed up for tour cos we thought the weather is too hot for us to follow a tour.
and so we just had our seafood lunch here and we were already very desperate to get home. lol
hot weather definitely not a day to travel outdoor.

But we did walk around the village to see see.
Here are some pics to show:

Pulau Ketam is very small indeed.
It is recommended to come here to have seafood lunch/dinner if you enjoy eating fresh crab! Their crab is delicious! yum~ drooling.
But other than that, not many tourist attractions though, it is a fish village afterall.
