Crab Island

You're not going to believe where I went today - Pulau Ketam. Yep, folks, you read right. I've been living in Klang all my life and this is the first ever time I even thought about setting foot on that island. Well, set foot I did. And you know what? It weren't so bad after all! *think Western accent*

Okay, I better start this in chronological order (sort of la, k :P). Yesterday, Eric (one of the guys I met at the Kuching retreat) asked if I would join him and a few friends from Lifeline (young adult group in SFX and CKK) for lunch in Pulau Ketam. (Boy, that was a lot of brackets.)

Anyway. I obviously agreed (and so, surprisingly, did my dad.. must be the church connection.. hm..) so today, I tagged along with him and 3 others - Ivan, Alvin and Pearl (all of whom, I might add, are more than 5 years my seniors). (I'm still using a lot of brackets.)

Naturally, I was at first wondering what was wrong with my nonexistent brain, agreeing to go out with a guy I barely know and people I'd never even met. But hey! Pleasant surprise - all 4 of them were really cool. For adults, that is. Haha. Seriously, they made me feel comfortable. Which is no easy feat, considering the way I am with people I don't know.

A little about ol' Crab Island though. In fact, it can be summed up in one word: MUD. That's right. You never walk on solid ground because the whole island is made of mud, mud and more mud. Planked walkways are used all the way. We saw loads of little crabs scurrying around, cone shaped shells, and a gigantic mud skipper.

Lunch was seafood. Which wasn't too bad - Shammy's restaurant (Klang Seafood) has spoiled me la. Always compare other places to it :P But it was pretty good, even in comparison. Hehe.

It came up to about 20 bucks per person. And Eric payed for me. He insisted that he's working and I'm not. And he says treat him when I start working. Bloody hell. That's at least 7 years away! Lol! I so owe him a treat now, I don't care. Elaine and her "guys shouldn't pay for her" policy, y'know. I'm a feminist like that. HAHA.

All said, I'm glad I went. Not so much coz it gave me an opportunity to get the hell out of the house, but the people I met were awesome. The kind that you just know you'd love to have as friends.

I'm looking forward to joining Lifeline now, although I don't know if I'll ever think of going to Pulau Ketam again anytime soon. I'm sticking to good ol' Pandamaran for now :)
