Redang... So beautiful..

I'm Back!!!!!!!!!

好久好久没有 blog le...cos was intensively studying all the way till 5th May and immediately head off to Pulau Redang on 6th May night (Election day.. damn! missed it on tv)

I'm going to flood my blog wif the hundred of photos we took in Msia wen i gotten them from my frens...

Day 1 (6th May Night):

Took 'adik beradik' bus and travel straight 10 HOURS to Trengganu.. sit until..屁股痛咯！！Both me & chew cant get to sleep at all.. after listening to the election result on fm958 (damn detailed election report, including history, demographics, comparison etc), we really want to get to sleep but simply cant. Why? I also dun know.. for me, probably it's the cup of mac cafe coffee i had wif pk b4 heading to meet them.. maybe it's cos the seat are uncomfortable.. maybe bus too cold.. maybe it's just cos i can onli orr orr on bed. *miss my bed*

Oh ya.. sthg interesting i wana mention.. the 1st stop TOILET! I shld award it as the "MOST AMAZIN TOILET". Can u imagine Shh-Shhing in a toilet with no cubicle hole? 'Modernly' equiped with a small small wall hole, a hose and a bucket of water.. Guessed this toilet is so modern until everyone shooting skill has to be tested. I wanted a bit bit bit to 小便 but.. after looking at the facilities it provides, erm.. ok, i ren! (Come to tink of it, maybe it's not meant to be used as toilet as all.. i tink the most logically explanation is that it is only meant to be used as bathroom.)

Day 2 (7th May - Trengganu & Redang):

WOW! Arrival at Trengganu in the morning!! Everyone was having those sleepy look standing around the bags while waiting for Paul to settle which transport is taking us to the jetty. BRRR... i can still rem how cold it is.. continuation of the strong aircon from bus..

Another 1 hour bus ride to Jetty (Breakfast - Stupid Gerd made me treat the whole grp to a drink and plus food for him also!!)...

Futher 1 hour boat ride to Redang...(Water is clear! Nature-land)

Upon arrival, the resort staff briefed us on activities, wat cannot do etc etc.. treated us to a welcome drink as well. Ok, here comes the most embarassing moment. Chia forced me & Kai to take a photo tog! So paisei...... The photo was finally taken eh.. ya, really awkward

Checked in.

Lunch! For the whole trip in Redang, we had lunch, breakfast, dinner buffet at the same place. I have to admit, it's quite sick eating at the same place though there's a variety of food. What is always present is Kantang (potato) & egg (telur) in diff cooking style. Most delicious? hmm... i tink satay bah..

Snorkelling!!! My first!! So excited.. but also nervous cos we going to the big big sea to snorkel leh~ Luckily we have 8 fairly build guys to protect us.. 4 gals so ended up we have a buddy system - Chew & Gerd (always the usual pair), Me & Kai, Chia & Kev... as for Wqing.. big auntie is here so she didnt join us for the 1st trip. But her role is impt as well --> photographer~

1st trip is not as nice as the 2nd trip.. I encountered problem wif my mask when i get into water (water will leak into the nose area). During the 1st few minutes when im in the water, i was busy adjusting my mask instead of appreciating the under water world.. Kai was thr to help me too (thanks~) The moment i finally get used to being surrounding by sea water & of cos many ppl .. i was stunned by wat i can see... fishes.. corals.. wow.. all surrounding me.. all swimmin ard me !!!!!! It's an experience i wont forget.. definitely memorable sia.. what i'm disappointed is that the corals dun seem as nice as wat i seen on tv etc. All grey corals leh.. What happened? But i'm satisfied with the fishes though. =D

Furthermore, the snorkelling trip provides underwater photo taking as well. 5rm per photo though..Cheap la! How often do u get the chance to take pictures with fishes?

Due to the strong currents.. and the engrossment during photo-taking, we got swept away by the currents far away from the boat. That's how i gotten my bruised arms (area near armpit) also - due to constant bua-ing of arms and life-jacket while fighting against the current in the opposite direction. Where's Kai at this moment? He's helping wif struggling KS.. i tink smelly smelly.. i struggled in the direction of the boat, 拼命拼命地游了半个钟头吧。。为什么每一个游了一段，抬头起来，船还是那么远。。又不能停下来。一停，你又被海浪倒退，所游的都白费了。

Heng i not alone.. Chia, Caine, Kev all beside me..Me & Chia macham having a swimming competition.. soemtimes i overtake her, sometimes she overtake me. Hahaha..

Near to the boat, Caine took care of KS and Kai came to help me.. he dragged me while he swims.. However, near to the boat, he asked me to swim alone to the boat while he go back & take a look at KS.

Finally, everyone is on boat, safe & sound & of course exhausted.

Night time was mainly exploring.. went to recreation centre to take a look at the photos taken, wen to the opposite resort (A more localised resort as compared to our commercialised resort), went ktv pub to take a look (too smoky to some so didnt sing). We went back to hotel room chitchat and view all the photos we have taken.

Day 3 (8th May - Redang):

We missed our 2nd morning snorkelling trip. Why? Cos we tot based on the 1st trip, we dun have to meet at the stated time but rather half an hour later than the stated time. Missed the boat just by 10 mins we guess. Smart smart us rented a boat taking us to the same destination - Marine pArk. Cant exactly rem how much it is.. a bit over rm10 per person i tink. Luckily we have 12 ppl. EH? 12 of us have our own private boat? WOW.... hehe.. private boat leh.. of cos everyone of us took a personal photo wif the boat lo..

Marine Park.. i tell u.. it's awesome! Corals was much more beautiful, more variety of fishes, even the underwater photo we took here are much more pretty. We can even feed the fishes with bread.. =) There's once where kai rub the bread in front of my face & allll the fishes rush in front of my mask to grab the bread.. Xin FU.. Oh ya~ one fish mistaken my finger to be bread and bite me,hahhaha.. *later heard Gerd gt bitten 3 times -_-???*

Swam with Wqing, Jhong, Kai this time round. Gotten a souvenir back from the sea also. An infected knee cap. Swollen & itchy even till now. But feel it's gonna be ok soon bah.. since i was given apply cream by NUS doctor.

Next, our private boat driver brought us to an even deeper sea to snorkel. Cant see much for those who do not know how to dive, too deep. But it's another kind of experience though.

We decided to go canoe in the afternoon (cos bananaboat was way too expensive). Funniest moment of my life.. We did soooooooo many stupid things with the canoe until we becum the centre of attraction on Redang Island ! List of silly things we did:

(1) 3 canoes & we compete against one another to get from 1 destination to another.
(2) Kai keeps trying to bump into other canoes
(3) the guys purposely capsized the 2nd batch of canoe
(4) We did a weigh experiment seeing how much load can 1 canoe takes
(5) The gals simultaneously jump onto the canoe w/o overturnin the canoe. (We cheered after tt,hahha)
(6) Tying 2 canoe tog and everyone sat on the boat to take a grp photo.
(7) 4 gals stand on the canoe and take a photo. (Me & Wq fell in the water for the 1st try =()
(8) We bury KS in sand and structured him to be a Muscular & *cough* high testerone guy
(9) KS act as a robot.

Night, we went to choose our underwater photos (i wonder whr it is wif now).. went for a stroll along the beach --> saw 2 other resorts, pub with dacing guys & gals, 1 couple hanky panky on the beach, 1 shooting star, beautiful starry sky (Scorpio Sign obvious)... feel the soft, cold, fine white sand on ur feet......... SUCH a EUPHORIA feeling. Highly recommended for couples!!

Day 4 (9th May - Redang on the way to KL):

Sobz.. the day which we leave the clear blue sea island. Miss you! I promise i will go back and visit 'u' again. .

1+1+5 hrs boat & bus ride to KL.

During the boat ride, i was bullied by frens to sit with Kai.. They are so li hai, managed to say until i guilty. *shakes head.. what a childish grp of frens i have,hahhah* Anyway, we was spotted by Chew.. Kai secretly hold my hand under his cap. =")

It's a LONG LONG Journey~ ~ *sing to the tune*

Bus --> We slept, woke up, slept, woke up.. u guessed it, i didnt slep again.. played poker cards towards the end & hehe, i was one of the constant winner, shld have head straight to GEnting instead sia =P

We reached KL around evening time, checked in at 'No-Star" hotel.. cheap sia so i wont complain. Room is of cos small and cramped compared to Redang or the 3-stars hotel opposite us.

Off to Chinatown....ate KFC for dinner (For those who wana try KFC in msia, eh.. KFC in Spore is still much nicer & Msia KFC no drinks for each meal. PLus pt is it's cheap)

Our group got 'Gan' in Chinatown by a VCD seller. &*@^#*&@^#&^ Worse seller i ever seen! I tink this is because he's blind. Cant he sees that we are in the midst of discussin whr and wat to eat? Of cos u talk to us, we no response la.. we all very hungry k, who cares abt vcd? No response den kana scolded.. what is this? Kepp saying we no Limau, no Limau.. -_-"

Chinatown is a very Hiong Place.. for those who will go thr in future, be mentally prepared. Seriously, the vendors have attitude proble. Maybe cos they are about to close shop, all the vendors to pack up their cart and push it around. Walking in the street of Chinatown is even more exciting den walking on the road.. 路不只窄，还要一直闪避冲直撞的摊子。。好恐怖。。一不留神，可能会被撞倒。有一个uncle踢向我们一个空水罐然后说Singaporean..然后笑。。神经病咯！！

Day 5 (10th May - KL):

Rise & Shine to KLCC.. Petronas Tower, Asia tallest building.

Took sooo many photos with the tower, furthermore we went to mid level of the tower and had a bird eye view of KL. How tall is the tower? Haha.. i cant remember.. shld have rem sia

SHopping!! What did i bought here? Not much lo.. just a pair of Vincci Shoes for RM33.Xx! CHeap! White, heeled shoes.. good for me to use to work in future. Too bad didnt get any working clothes.

Later on we head on to erm erm.. shit, cant rem the shopping centre name.. hahaha.. but anyway, there's a 'sim lim' there also. Bought a top for my mum which she cant wear. Nothin for myself. I can see at this pt, 4 of us very tired le.. hahahha

A&W for lunch!!! Euphoria effect again.. i missed the curly fries and root beer float *slurp* Hot dog burger is nice too! SUperb! Why A&W must close down in Spore? WHY!!!!!!!!!!!! Open one outlet near my hse la..Evreyone i know like A&W so much, why does it still close? 真没道理。。

Tepanyaki for Dinner... hmm.. so-so la.. shld have gone to eat seafood or sthg nicer instead lo.

Back to China town.. bought a look-alike burberry bag for my mum, sport top for my bro & a polo tee for my dad.. hmm, nothin for myself again. Haiz.. No time to shop.

Prata for Supper.. diff from s'pore. S'pore uses kambing curry but over here, they uses ikan curry.

There's a mini drama happening at night. SOmeone cried & told me sthg which shocked me though... We arranged for a discussion btw Wqing & Er, leaving them alone insied the gal's room while the gals all cooped inside one of the guys' room. WQing vomited in the morning but later on, Everything was fine ..

Last day (11th May - Kl back to Spore):

Everyone had sedikit energy le.. all a bit like dead fishes on the bus..haha.. me too! Chew is suffering from lao sai syndrome somemore. (All gals lao sai except me.. i gt good stomach,hahah)

Singapore Sweet Singapore at 5pm.. Chia met up wif her fren while i bought dinner and balik rumah.
