Hi Dan,
The Bintan trip looks interesting.
Will let you know later if i can join as Nov is also
the month to tour Chiang Mai.
Is the Nov 8/9 firm? Will this date coincide with the year-
end monsoon, making the sea rough and dampen the Bintan
island actiities. Would Oct be a bettert time?
Also sorry to hear you have to cancel the Desaru trip.

Hi Dan
Count me in, have been waiting to visit Bintan.
Nice place to relax. Tks.
Hi Terence,

Hi June,
Are you coming for the Bintan trip?
Norhayati and Gwyneth, thank for the response.
Eyonne Chew, Ron Koh and Ros Chan, since the Desaru trip is cancelled. are you coming?
A little bit of information. Ocean Bay Resort kelong is not the normal out in the middle of nowhere. The kelong are connected to the beach. So there is no fear of the monsoon weather. There will be plenty of fishing. Check the link if you want to find more.
At S$155, it is more than worth it. The taxes and land transport and ferries add up to S$55. One night chalet stay may cost about $50. Then we have three meals included.
The target is 20 pax, but if we have 10 pax, we will still go for it! Come on all fishing enthusiates, let’s enjoy and stretch ourselves by the beach!

Hi DanzNJoy…very tempted but now hor a bit chuak chuak abt the web pics…the Desaru resort look so so good right BUT..!!! :-)))) Going to such places, there mus be a big group…so I will wait and see…sorry ah!! It is people like me who gives the EO a headache!!!…I see if Lily and Dolly and Bira and OiCheng and YewKwong and Evonne and LindaChang and Veron and so so many others going or not (impossible to name them all here)…:-)))))) Tui pu chi EOs..:-)
Sorry lah June,
Me no go becos daughter will be having A level exam during dat time – must be around to give moral support and encouragement mah. And Dolly don’t like kelong lah. Last kelong trip I went without her lor.
Dolly will be planning something (a short trip) later part of November, so, if you are not going to dis one, stay tuned for more news ok?
Aiyo, Lily Buddy, u 1 2 hi me har?? U noe I dun like kelong, it is tio lor but den, Nov short trip, I got say2 n plan2 first.. Now hor, I pangsan oso bo-eng so how 2 plan har..
Hi June,
Don’t think I can join as in November would be up, up on the mountain with cool air.
Mai chuak chuak, it is a nice resort leh….beautiful beach
Cheers.
Hello June and Dan
It was nice knowing both of you at cycling yesterday. I’ve heard of this place and I think it’s near the Trikora Beach which I’ve mentioned.
I too will be going to Chiang Mai in Nov which is the following week otherwise I would love to join the trip. James is right about the monsoon period but I had though it should start in Oct already. The weather is crazy these days anyway.
Seriously, if you can gather enough interest and bring the date perhaps to early October, it would be good. Anyone who loves the sand, sea and rustic living should love the place.
Whatever the case, I think you should not give up on this place.
I think this trip should interest Charles and Tian Soo seeing that they love to drive to the east coast of Malaysia.
Hi, Dan n Joy
I am sorry not joining cos I have been before.
Thank you.
Hi, Dan @8:
Sorry, we are not able to commit to the Bintan trip yet. Will let you know closer to 1/10.
Cheers,
Ron Koh & Ros Chan
Hi DaisyYeo…#13..your greeting…Hello June and Dan……typo error?…u meant Joy and Dan??…me JuneLim no go cycling last Sat…:-)))
oops… sori
had thought you were Joy cause you had provided the website for ocean bay bintan.
No offence meant…… and so it should have been nice meeting Dan and Joy.
Hello Dan,
Seok Cheng & myself are interested in the trip, please keep us posted.
Thanks
Christina Chan WH
Hi Christina and Seok Cheng,
Thanks for your response, will keep you posted!
Danz n Joy
Dear folks.
Due to insufficient responses, the Bintan trip is cancelled. We want to thank those who have signed up for your support.
Could it be the moonsoon season that discourage all of you? I am still tempted to organise more trip, but have to be next year.
Anyone keen on Tioman, Renang, Langkawi or Cruise?
Dan n Joy
Dan:
I have been in contact with a few kakis. The problem most of us face is with the closing date. It is a bit too early for some of us to be able to confirm our participation, and most of us would rather not want to be included in the trip only to have to pull out later.
Just our two cents,
Ron Koh
Hi Ron Koh,
Understand your predicament! Not to worry, small group may be better. Closing date can be adjusted, I just need the figure to work on.
The other available dates is 29/30 November 2008!
Dan
Dan #23:
the original date is 90% okay for me – just some niggling, unrelated issues which need to be addressed as these can affect my participation.
29/30 Nov 2008 not possible as I have a teaching commitment.
I have to leave it to the rest of the regular kakis to reply on their own
Cheers,
Ron Koh
Hi Dan,
Oh dear! I’m sorry another trip kena cancel due to poor response. Anyway, hopefully the next one you organise will get more responses.
Regards
Norhayati
Hi Dan
I think you meant Redang instead of Renang? There’s also Rawa Island which is 45mins from Mersing and Sibu Island. I’ve not been to any of these islands but would love to do them. Hopefully though, my work schedule permits on the dates you have chosen.
Daisy
Hi Daisy,
Yes, it Redang and let’s wait till the monsoon period is over. During these time a lot of our member may have already made plan to travel.
We will target next year 2009 in March for further travelling to our neighbouring countries.
Noted your interest and let hope more will indicate their desire to join in the sun, sand and fun
Dan
