Sisters' Island!
The legend of the Sisters' Islands
A long time ago, there lived a pair of sisters, Minah & Lina, who shared a bond so strong that nothing could separate them. But one day, the notorious chief of the Orang Laut met and fell in love with Lina. Despite the sisters' pleas, the chief took her away and forced her into the sampan. Just then, the sky turned dark and a storm broke out. As Minah made a final attempt to save her sister from leaving the jetty, a large wave came and engulfed her. On seeing this, Lina freed herself from her captors and jumped into the sea to join Minah.
The storm subsided but nowhere could the sisters be found. Instead, two islands emerged from where they had drowned. Called Subar Laut (3.9 ha) & Subar Darat (1.7ha), the two small islands are now known as Sisters' Islands. It was said that every year on that very day when the sisters turned into islands, there will always be storm and rain.
Anyway, i will be camping at sisters' island but it sound kinda eerie no?! Heh, but i bet it will be very pretty and different from the coasts of Singapore. ;)
while studying at mac. ( that equals to gaining MORE and MORE calories, help!)
