Worse Than The Agony Of Falling In Love ?

The winds were blowing , the sun was shining , and the waters of Port Dickson was not oh so white as usual .

Yes , what memories this place has given me throughout my 15 years of my life .

Anyways , here are a few pictures of the place and its surrounding . Though , the water quality seem to have not improved nor degrade , it still is a wonderful place .



















































































And as I sat by the beach gazing upon the brightly lit horizon of the sunset , I admired whats left of its former beauty it possesses . It was truly a peaceful moment as I can only hear the sounds of the waves crashing and my heart beating . It was a beautiful evening , with the sun mild at heart and the winds that trickle upon my face . The sounds of the waves crashing onto shore , pounding on my cousins and myself , aiming more directly onto my private parts which turns out more to be quite a shocker .

All I see at the distance is the wide open sea of the Straits of Malacca which surprisingly has an emerald green effect at the horizon where large but seemingly slow moving ship tankers sail by . Nearby , soft white sand was available all around me while tiny seashells that flow right by me and back into the ocean due to the waves .

There's a strong contrast when one compares Port Dickson to other island beauties like Pangkor , Redang and Penang . The almost-crystal clear waters at these three islands pose as one of the reasons why they are considered by the goverment as potentially '' tourist attractions '' . The undefiled sands of the islands and the air available at these islands are unavailable no where else .

Although all of these criterias make Port Dickson look like a shithole , it does share similarities to other island and beach resorts all over Malaysia .

The people , for instance , are well mannered and are very , very kind . Socialble and full of kindness , these people in Port Dickson are very different compared to us Subang Jaya-ers . I was greeted with a warm smile at every shop I go through . And at every bargain or deal settled ends with a friendly " terima kasih " . It's different , I tell ya' .

Besides that , the seafood there is not half bad . As a matter of fact , it's better than the seafood in the Klang valley . The prawns , squids , crabs and fish available there are fresh as hell and are all well prepared by skillfully trained chefs . Be it a normal shop or a restaurant by the beach , all the qualities of a scrumptious meal prepared will be 99% guranteed delicious . The trick is to find the right shop , that is .

One night , we ordered some crab for dinner . And the amount of meat you can get in ONE of the crab's claw .. it's roughly the size of a oversized mutated lolipop . Here again , I must comment on the generousity of the people . We ordered one and a half kilogram of crabs and there was like , at least two kilograms on that plate .

Although the hotel I was staying was a ' shmock ' , with no heater and such , I still very much enjoyed my stay there because after all the disadvantages I've had to put through , I can still count of a warm and comfortable bed with a breath-taking view of the ocean that awaits me the next morning .

But don't take my descriptions for granted . To really know and feel the place itself , have yourself seated by the shore where the waves are fond of you , place your hands onto the sand that gives you a ' groove ' feeling , and watch the sunset at the horizon that's far , far away . Who knows ? You might discover a beauty of that place you never had seen before .
All you have to do , is open your eyes real big and look out for something you don't usually see ..









Well , that's about it .

I'll post again sometime soon , but not too soon .

I have a lot of practice to do .
