Tanjung Tuan was unusually packed that day but the beach was pretty much deserted. Everyone's probably going up to the lighthouse to have a glimpse of Sumatera which was indeed visible on that day due to the clear skies. Sumatera is just 38km away from the Tanjung Tuan lighthouse by the way. And we fed some monkeys on the way up.
This is what real sand looks like. Very coarse and you can see that they are made out of tiny broken sea shells. Not the silky smooth white "Sahara desert" kind of artificial sand you find elsewhere.
Suckers.
The Tanjung Tuan beach is a great place to find lots of sea shells. Zoe spent most of her time picking up the hermit crabs and then apologizing profusely every time she drops them. Which is like 100% of the time. She almost got me believing that hermit crabs understand English.

A hermit crab without its shell.
Miss Evil watching them suffer.
Hermit crabs will find a new home once they lose their old shells. So it's OK to force them out of their pretty shells. They'll survive. Disclaimer: it is NOT OK to force them out of their shells.
Smallest complete shell found.
A cow-patterned shell.
Found hidden treasure bricks.
The Aquarius. Replace the sand with water.
This almost felt like a shoot at the beach with so many photos of her :S But the afternoon lighting was pretty harsh and I didn't bring my Nikons along.
I have like 20 similar photos because girls become very trigger-happy when handed a dSLR.
I got quite sun burnt because of the afternoon sun but my skin color was nowhere near "the same color as my shirt".
Zoe's ring fetish.
And toe rings too. This kick is gonna hurt.
We made our way to the commercialized Port Dickson in the evening because I wanted to catch the sunset. It was packed.
Sunset by the beach. Straight from camera with slight levels adjustment. Used a Cokin P198 filter.
Pretty relaxing weekend. Thanks Zoe for the company!
