Redang day 3

Once upon a time, there was no light. 3 girls stumbled upon a sacred object, and was amazed by it. They thought it was food, and tried to lick it, but little did they realise, its "L.I.G.H.T" Okay I am being lame. But you could really guess wat Wilkinson's oil lamp became on that night. -- a Camwhore item.

Final day was departure day. Although feeling all sad, and reluctant to go, we had to drag our asses out of bed (rather the beach since we spent the whole night there) to clean up and have breakfast.

Random note : Rachel spoilt our toilet pipe, causing the toilet to flood, and everyone to freeze after getting splashed by cold water.

The little red tail squirrel - Adorable ain't it???

EEEEyyerrrr cute betul

the girls on the trip
My guai zhai!!

Our family of 7. Let me give you a proper introduction in case you all misunderstand who is who. From left - Zhiven, Me, Wilkinson, Christy, Rachel, Eugene, Denise.

Then our long winded journey repeats itself. From Redang island to jetty, from jetty to Kuala Terengganu town, from K.Terrenganu town to the bus station. At the bus station. The 3 extras are fellow tour-mates who happen to sign up the same package as us for this trip!!

And the final stretch of the journey. In the bus. And here I am now. Back in polluted crowded city of Kuala Lumpur, dreading the start of uni which is like TOMORROW sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk sulk.

=( Will miss the beach a lot!!

Day 2 at the beach (Redang)

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. All play and no work makes you don't want holidays to end at all.

I'm down with countable days of holidays using one hand. Damn damn damn, I felt as though I have not played enough. *ain't it always*

Sometimes the thought of going back to uni, just makes you feel nauseous. And trust me, I am not the only one. Rachel felt it days ago, and vomited endless amount of fluid. Poor girl.
Day 2 at Redang was of course, fun. D-U-H. We woke up in the morning to enjoy our breakfast (nasi lemak and toast), and savour Rachel's old town white milk tea. Then it was snorkelling again. We had like 3 snorkelling trips altogether. A little boring actually, but then again it comes with the package, and it's an opportunity to go out to the big blue sea and JUMP into it where no decent land is nearby.

This time, snorkelling was at the marine park. There was a crowd. A lot of people. Gosh. But we still headed for the water and waddle waddle. Lol. This time I was luckier. I saw a JELLY FISH. and screamed. Saw a black fin SHARK. and screamed again, not to mention swimming freestyle full speed ahead in the opposite direction draining all my energy that very instant. Saw sword fishes, Baracuda's, those rock coloured camouflage fishes and a lot of funny colourful fishes.

And when we were back to the beach, we lazed around and sat at hammocks, and explored the beach a little. One tourist attraction on the island, is to observe red tailed squirrels. And all of us stared at the tree dungu-fied while the squirrel SLEPT on the tree.
I coloured our face black to hide the dungu-fied expression. And then we took lotsa lotsa pictures. I really like this one. It has two rings to it. It can either be a very serene picture, whereby everyone is being tranquilized by the calmness of the sea, or it can be a very EMO picture, whereby all of us are trying to commit suicide by walking straight into the water.

Then came the attempts to jump over waves. You first do a half squat with your hands stretched out far in front of you. Use those leg muscles to pounce yourself upwards into the air, Land back on two feet. And fall down into the water in case your landing skills suck. Redang also has this little make-do tea inn in which the movie "Summer Holidays" featuring Sammi Cheng and Richie Ren was shot. This random cookie monster picture with two random strangers was totally random. We were all standing in the little shop inside More More Tea Inn and I turned to talk to Christy. She was like standing there, with a couple behind here wearing almost similar shirt. So I was like "Christy turn around and see" and she turned. And we decided it would be cute to take a picture together. So snapped snapped. I really love this picture. Makes all of us look like we're casts for some big show featuring the little tea inn. And thats me and Christy and her little cookie monster inside the heart shape. (and you may wonder where the hell Ven was at that moment *he was sleeping on a hammock totally ignorant about what was going on*)

In the noon we went snorkelling AGAIN. This time we brought bread out to feed fishies. And it was so FUN!!! I kept screaming and screaming everytime the fished bit my fingers when I held bread, or when they swim pass my body. We kept trying to touch the fishies, but they were fast swimmers.

And then, back on shore again, a very kind hearted worker at Redang Bay showed us a black spotted eel when he took us snorkelling by the rocks. The eel is huge. Like BIG BIG HUGE!! (It's my first time seeing an eel so the size is entirely up to my interpretion). It was quite challenging swimming against current and waves.

Back at shore

Finally, a proper picture within the heart shape with the correct company

At night

Reach out for the trees

Lastly, the last part of the day was spent sitting around Wilkinson's make-do-campfire-oil-lamp fooling around. What happened around the oil-lamp is another tale on its own.

Till then. Tata!!

Of Redang Sun Sea Beach Sand

The sun the sea the beach the sand. Now that's what I call a real holiday getaway. In fact, I am super missing this trip of Redang with my friends. I love the island, and I love the sea. The mention of sea alone makes me all jumpy!!

So at 1030am on Monday night, 7 of us departed from Putra bus station, ready to embark on our island journey. Funny thing was, al 7 of us turned up in SPECTACLES!! Speak about being nerdy, oh well, we're medical students after all, some element of nerdiness will follow no matter what. It was quite a funny sight, seeing those 4 eyed people at a go.

The extremely LONG bus ride took us to Kuala Terengganu. And there we stoned till another bus came to pick us up to have breakfast.

Nerdy Nerdy Students!! (Wilkinson and me)

I cant really recall how much waiting we had to do. Reach Kuala Terengganu, wait for bus to travel agency, reach travel agency, wait for bus to jetty, reach jetty, wait or boat. Oh gosh. Even Wilkinson went crazy

And Denise tooAnd we all look semi-awake

The streets in Kuala Terengganu were still dim went we arrived. It was somewhat 6am in the morning or so. Lack of sleep, hungry, and impatient, we were all rather grumpy.

So we headed of for breakfast.

At breakfast

Then we explored a little of the street we were dumped at in Kuala Terengganu. And snapped snapped pictures.

And before we knew it, we were already in broad day light. Ready to board the bus to the jetty.

In the bus, we got pretty restless, I mean, you picture this yourselves okay. You're about to go to an ISLAND!! WITH A BEACH, AND THE SEA!!! (It's just like when Paris Hilton is about to go shopping) To me, the sea is my paradise. I love love love the sea!!!!!! How can you sit still man. *some pig can sill sleep in the bus -cough cough-*

We spotted a floating masjid as well

And finally, we arrived near the salty water. Ready to jump into it. Erm float on it I mean.

We're on water we're on water we're on water. If I could jump up and down in the boat I'll prolly make everyone sink.
So I just sat still and camwhored. Lol. *I would have jumped into the sea if I could at that instant*

See, all 7 of us so ber-together, and ber-united, and ber-happy happy!!!

And alas, WE ARRIVED!!! I STEPPED ON REDANG SAND. The sand there is white and fine. It's really rare to find such sand, those in west Malaysia are greyish black and coarse. SO yucky. But Redang sand is white white white. And very very fine. Even Singapore Gov import such sand for their sentosa island man.

We checked in into our 7 people room, it was relatively cozy, not really complaining about it since we had it for a really good deal. It had all basic necessities, mainly aircon and clean bathroom. Pity it didn't really had hot water despite the heater in the bathroom which didn't really work.

Before heading for the beach, we are smacked our sunblock on, and Wilkinson gay-ed around a little.

And whoaaalaaaahh. THE BEACH!!!

We played Volleyball under the scorching hot sun, oh man I'm desperate for a tan. It was a noon sun, Hot Hot Hot!! and then while Denise sun bathed, we went snorkelling in the sea around the resort area. Didn't really see much, except a couple of fishy fishies.

And lazed around a little.


We headed of snorkelling in the big open ocean at about 230. It was fun! We spotted several Nemo's, saw a stingray, saw a lot of funny coloured fishes, met little christmas trees!!

And then we had volleyball again before dinner, and played cards after dinner, and it was basically how we spent our first day there. Will post up more on the second day. Gotta rest my brain and fingers a little.
