Welcome to the Yeoh's Bed & Breakfast: Week 3: Stranded on an island

We can safely say now that being stranded on an island resort isn't too bad. Our 3 day and 2 night trip was pretty much by the book until the day we were scheduled to take off. That morning, saw a few special characters on the resort: "Flipper" & "Ms Kitty". Flipper is a rambunctious 5 yr old British kid that likes to hang about the pool and squeal like a dolphin (hence the nickname). Ms Kitty, in contrast is an Ah-lian that loves to pose for "kitty-cat-meooow" style photos by the beach for her really-really enthusiatic shutterbug boyfriend! Just think of it as a swimsuit model pose without the model look. Although her posing is really stylo-milo, and she can hold those "meooow" poses for a really long time, its really hard to look away (in a bad car wreak kind of way).

But later that afternoon was when things changed. Our 4 propeller plane that was scheduled to show up at 3pm that day never did due to strong cross winds... While waiting at the tiny Tioman airport, we shared stories a few new friends, Adelaide an American from San Diego, 2 doctors Orooj & Emira from KL, and an elderly couple from Gombak... At about 6.30pm we were still waiting when one of the 4 airport personnel (yes, the place is THAT small!!, and it had only 1 custom agent) came in and kept all 3 flags flying outside the building! Bad sign.
Turned out that the airport didn't have runway lights, they didn't take our offer of lighting the runway with lighters seriously, so we were stranded on the island for one more night!!!

Berjaya was nice enough to put us up for the night for free + dinner buffer + breakfast! So all was not lost. We even got a nice sunset walk out of it!

Yeesin even found a wayward coconut by the beach, and after imitating a monkey by throwing it against the pavement, she managed to crack it and got 2 whole cups of coconut juice out of it!!! Nice to know if we are ever stranded on a desert island, we can count on her to provide the drinks!
