This is my second trip to Pulau Ketam or Crab Island. This time around, the island look deserted, isolated and lifeless. It was a far cry compared to my earlier trip last year. Most shops were closed and surrounding area was pin drop silence.
Hmmm....dunno what to say about my latest trip. It was a rather dull and boring trip.
