~~Tioman Island~~
PULAU TIOMAN (Tioman Island) -
The white sandy beaches, crystal clear seas, virgin rainforests, all combine to make Tioman Island one of the popular tourist destinations.
According to legend, Pulau Tioman is the resting place of a magical dragon princess, who on her way from China to visit her prince in Singapore, stopped by at this island to seek solace during her flight and fell in love with its beauty. Enraptured by the wonder of Tioman, the princess discontinued her journey and vowed to spend the rest of her days giving pleasure and comfort to weary travellers.
This place, so full of wonder beckons the stranger with open arms...
No one need be here to greet you..for you feel the warmth at the sea's edge...
Joyful natives in colorful dress invite the dance, as words of love re-assure the
Greatest gift from above.....
The glory of a jungle...wild..yet wonderfully tame.....
The simple beauty as the water flows and ponds..inviting all to enter.....
Words of goodness remind of a goal lost by troubled times....
On the beach...you must pause..just close your eyes...dream....
Feel the sun's rays embrace you with golden wrap...
Rejoice in the outstretched arms of your fellow man....
The splendor of a view is your final glance...where old meets new..
Cuisine...luscious and tempting awakens your senses...
You leave with some sadness...and yet with the hope....that one day...
You will meet this dear Nina.....in this place so far away.
