hot boys kelong

So a week after, the gf and myself with a group of friends and the Nokia N95 made a journey into Malaysia, past JB, partway to Mersing, to this place called Hot Boys Kelong, located in the tranquil and beautiful waters of the Sibu sea.

"HOTBOYS KELONG is the ultimate one-stop rustic holiday experience. We are the ONLY Singaporean operated kelong in Malaysia and are well known for our cleanliness, good food and good service. We cater not just to the fishing enthusiast, but to anyone who just wants to chill out and relax with family, loved ones or friends.Our kelong is situated along the East Coast of Malaysia, safely away from any fault lines, earthquake zones and tsunami zones. The Kelong has a 16-year old history, which is a testament to its safety and stability. Unlike other kelongs in Kukup and Batam which are located along muddy beaches, we are located right in the middle of the tranquil and beautiful waters of the Sibu Sea (part of the South China Sea)."

What a trip. It was honestly a well-timed one day's worth of relaxation. I told MT that I probably got more sleep there at the kelong than I would have in Singapore. Back home, there will ALWAYS be something to have to do, or to think about, or to settle, etc etc.

Will let the pictures speak for themselves. My only 2¢ worth would be to add that if you have not been to a kelong, or fished in waters other than Bedok Jetty (or *shudder* Pasir Ris Park), and you have a day and night free on a weekend (when you aren't in the mood to drink yourself silly), then this is a real viable alternative. minus the speedy van ride to the kelong (160km/h on a winding road!!) and the usual grumpy customs people.
