A Week at Pulau Kapas or Kapas Island.

 To fulfill Ben Rongen's yearning to visit his old playgrounds on the East Coast especially the Kapas Island or Pulau Kapas and the seaside village of Jambu Bongkok where he had lived for five years. It took us more than eight hours getting from Penang to Kuala Terengganu because of many pit stops along the way. It was all well worth the drive.


It was a sun shiny day and the beach at Jambu Bongkok was littered with the debris from the Monsoon winds and waves. In the past I had always enjoyed the beach combing activity just after the Monsoon season as I would find many treasures washed up from who knows where.

The Beaches along the East Coast is mostly deserted of hmans and in most areas one will find the serene beauty to be most soothing to the wearied mind. A quiet spot under the pandan tree is as good as any for a sitting and contemplating.




A view of the Kapas Island from the mainland at Marang. The Monsoon seson looks like has finally dissipated and the skies were clear over the calm South China Sea.

The boat ride towards the Island brought back numerous fond memories as the Island was and still is one of my favorite playgrounds for many years in my past.





There is nothing to say but simply lay back and chill and enjoy the Island Paradise while the rest of the world are immersed into wars and Pandemics. The Creator gave me this allotted time  to live life to the fullest and this I have done and am still doing.
