Sunset at Koh Cheuk, Trang, Southern Thailand, Dec 2002The lunch time topic somehow ended up revolving around islands... someone asked me how many times I've been to Perhentian... so this got me reflecting on the all the islands that I've ever been to in my life.

whoa, you've sure been to many places.. *jealous* only islands i've been to are pangkor (since it's so near home), penang, singapore, borneo, NZ, UK & Oz (but only on flight stopover :p). hope to add one more to the list this year - Insyallah...
So you are now officially and "Islander" ! :-)
You should also take up the ukelele and go tour the Pacific Islands ... Polynesian and Isles.
guat: Technically speaking, Oz is a continent, a very very very big island. There are so many islands in our backyard, we should make full use of them. :)
paul: Yea, haha, I think I'll start building my wooden raft. I forgot to mention Papua New Guinea.
Dang, that's a heck of a lot of islands man
Yeah, I need my annual dose of vitamin sea...
there are TWO “pulau tikus-es” in Penang
one of them IS actually an island ( a kayak-able distance off the batu feringghi/ tg bungah coast )
Thanks for the information. I shall update my geodatabase accordingly.
WOW! WOW! WOW!
Speechless and super jealous.
~May~
pulau tikus is an island :) a shocker to you? On your way up to batu feringgi the next time when crossing the penang swimming club and look towards the sea. It's the small island with a small lighthouse. That's pulau tikus!
