Posted by Xian Jin He, births every living creature, casts the sea, sand and stone, carves them each a certain feature, a certain hue, a certain tone. His light is a Ray, it colours every detail, it frees the birds at bay, and darkness will exhale. You know, He's in the stormy clouds and in the choppy sea, so why should you have any doubts?

In the gale, He pulls you back, when deserted - are you really alone?  Remember, He's always on our track- After all, He crafted our very bone. -Xian Jin

We parked our car with SafePark Holidays cos they offered us a covered, secure parking lot. Boat tickets to the Perhentian island is RM70 (return) per pax and RM5 each for Marine Park fee.  We're anxious to get to the campsite before any change in weather. The sky was more cloudy by then and a bit overcast (let's hope they got the weather forecast wrong). First sight of the Campsite, with its own private beach against the backdrop of the beautiful blue sky. The front of the campsite. The huge tent was occupied by the staff and volunteer workers. Our tents. We have 3 tents, and they're all on platforms, in the rainforest. The tent comes with two airbed mattresses and pillows e...
