hey guys,

actually, i just went through the preliminary research only of the possibility to go to pulau tioman, malaysia. and from the looks of it, it can be far cheaper than S$300.

ACCOMODATION
but it definitely depends on what YOU want. you want a pimped out resort and spa, or you want to go budget, with a room shared by 4-10 beds, going from RM20 per night. middle range is about RM45 per night.

FOOD
we do not actually need free breakfast nor lunch nor dinner, as we can get cheap food going at around Rm5-RM15 at the restaurants or eating places there. but going budget you must not be fussy ah. if you all want go on budget, and dun mind no aircon, just fan, and dun mind sharing a room, or yeah, just not fussy. anything can.

TRAVELLING THERE
the trip will be a ride to mersing, then taking a ferrry. bus to mersing from cost about $30. trip to tioman island is about RM35 from mersing. travelling around the island is also cheap. most by boats ah.

THINGS TO DO
we can do a lot of things. but u want to do more fun things such as diving must pay more la. want to go cheap also can. we can just snorkel. diving we go NUSdive cheaper ah. haha. and we can just relax and chill at the beaches, or go jungle trekking and nature walk there. its free! and when we are there when we see the place then we can also decide what to do too.

when we are young we should do this sort of things. live in the wild and be free. hahaha. when you old and married already then you can go pimped out hotels, or resort and spa la. the thing about tours is that you do not need to pan, people plan for you already. thats the good thing ah. but im just giving the budget point of view.

total trip will be ard $100. for accomodation and travel only. rough guide only.
scuba dive and snorkelling we need to hire a boat and rental of equipments ah. food i dun count because its normal ah. if you guys really interested i need to do more research and reading. then yeah, things need to be planned out proper.

AND one more important thing is that your experiences is what you make it out to be. if you go in with a positive mindset, then the trip will be fun! and doesnt matter what we do, as long as we are together enjoying the company ah. just being gay.
