Read the passage on a holiday by the sea.

1 "Wow! Look at the place, it's so beautiful," exclaimed Ling. We

were on the ferry, together with the other tourists, heading
towards Pangkor Laut Resort. "So, do you regret joining me for
this trip?" asked a joyful Ling. I shook my head as we got off the
ferry.

2 Upon reaching the island, we were welcomed by a vast area of

'greens'- the island's historic, natural rainforest. Amidst the tall 5
trees and thick shrubs, stood the island's holiday resort. There are
three kinds of accommodation: villas above the waters, beside
the sea or in the forest. Ambitious or rather greedy people like us
would of course want the best of all. After much hesitation, we
settled for a 3-in-1 kind of villa. Backed by the green rainforest, 10
the villa stood on stilts above the waters, margined by a clean
stretch of white, powdery sand.

3 Lying on the armchair, bewitched by the scenery outside, I

heaved a sigh of relief. Work back in Singapore was horrendous. I
had been so caught up with my tight schedule that I was totally
cut off from the outside world. If Ling had not suggested a break,
I could have suffered a mental breakdown.

4 "What are you doing here? Let's go out and have fun. You can 15
always relax here tonight," uttered the ever-energetic Ling.
 5 It took us twenty minutes, strolling, wandering in curiosity to
reach the "jewel" of Pangkor Laut - the Emerald Bay Beach. As
though brought back to childhood by the time machine, we
screamed and chased each other along the bleached sand, 20
splashing the clear, green water on each other.

6 "Would you like to go out sailing or canoeing?" I suggested

subconsciously, gazing at the beautiful blue sea.

7 "Wow! Someone's getting adventurous! Alright, let's go!" teased

Ling.

8 We rented a boat and wandered aimlessly round the island,

returning only in the evening, just in time for an amazingly 25
sumptuous seafood dinner.

9 The next two days were totally awesome. We tried our hands at
various kinds of water games before heading for the tennis and
squash courts. Exhausted by the games, I found myself relaxing
at the spa, enjoying the cool breeze or seeking a hide-out in the
library and immersing myself in the world of books.

10 Back in the office in Singapore, I really missed the place. The trip 30
has made me realized the wonders of recreation. Never am I
going to bury myself in heaps of work again. The next time I want
an escape from this busy work life, I would probably choose
Pangkor Laut Resort again.
