Redang

I’m sure you would’ve guessed what this entry is all about. Easy peasy!
.
Before I start rambling about how beautiful or how great or how canggih-manggih was my trip was, I just like to say: if you’ve never been to Redang before, do yourself a favour and take the next bus to Kuala Terengganu… NOW! Go there before all the Malaysian and China tourist go there and mess the whole place up. You just have to look at Port Dickson to see what I mean.
.
On the night of Labour Day, 4 or 5 (I couldn’t remember) fresh graduates of UKM who read food science and nutrition gathered at a small little apartment in Hentian Kajang. More of us trickled in until all 19 of us arrived. Then off we depart at 9(I think) from Hentian Kajang.
.
We reached Kuala Terengganu at about 5am.

One of the things that I absolutely love about Redang is the beautiful people that come to the island. However, too many of public U students were staying in the hotel I was staying in. You know-lah, how paiseh they are to show off what they’ve got. Something’s wrong with our education system!

On the other stretch of beach where more college kids stay… Ooh lala! All the pretty girls in sexy bikinis. Arggh… I’m blinded!
.
I would have continued with all my babbling of Redang this and Redang that, but I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

I’m some where in the boat, some where lah, on it’s way to take us snorkelling.

One of the snorkelling areas was the Marine Park. The park was so full of people you may think it’s Sunway Lagoon. And a bit to my dismay, the water wasn’t as clear as I imagined. I think this has to do with all the sunblocks everyone uses was diluting into the water. The corals weren’t as beautiful either. I was a wee bit disappointed, but I still had a great time snorkelling around and taking under water pictures.

The beach.

[A] is the spot where I took the night scene of Laguna Resort.
[B] This is the short stretch of beach they call Blue Sands. At night, when you brush your feet on the beach, glowing blue spots will appear… for a while. I managed to figure ot what those glowing blue stuffs are. They are very small crustaceans that glows when you press them lightly.

More More Tea Inn… now a gift shop.
.
The place where Laguna sits used to be the famous More More Tea Inn (MMTI). The inn (and the island) was made famous by a movie of the same name. MMTI is now tucked in a corner and has become a lousy-mousy gift shop.
.

Now, to showcase all the camwhores…

This is how my mouth looks like when I say “F*ck!”.
I was shouting “what the f*ck?!” at him for taking forever to take a macho picture of me looking out the sea pretending to be in solemn thought.

See the glowing ‘I Love U’? A love struck bloke decided to dig the words out in the sand with a few friends . Then they put the candles in the trench and lit them all just after sunset. The girl sure terharu punya.

“And they lived happily ever after…”

Conclusion. The trip to Redang was absolutely great. If only we could stay there for a day more or two. All the cheap resort only allow us to stay there for 2 days & 2 nights, which in my opinion is too short. Too short to explore the island a bit, too short to play around on the beach, too short to get to know pretty girls (not that there are any among us), too short to get any phone numbers at all. What a waste!
