Recount of Redang trip

3D2N fabulous trip!!

Long bus journey ride from larkin( i presume) to kuala terrenganu.It was freezing cold, firstly due to the lack of ppl and secondly due to the good air condition.
Dan was freezing coz he thought he could be a hero without bringing his sweater, well indeed he was the hero, sniffing all the way during the bus ride.

1D - finally, we reached the jetty.... the boat ride was fun!!! except for our poor dan who was so seasick!!!
Winsiau and ris had to entertain me coz i was too bored....and i kept on booing joo=)
Reached the wonderful beach after roughly 2 hours.....
Guess wat i saw????????????????
Indeed, the legendary of the beach beauty is true!! The seawater is crystal clear and one could see the bottom of the sea without straining one's eyes!On top of tt, the sand is so fine that one would wonder if one is actually sleep walking!!

Joo checked us into our rooms, and yeah, the room condition didn't disappoint us except for the shower head.
With joo and dan.... those clean freaks , oh ya plus also winsiau and ris, our room is alwiz maintained at a clean state!!

We went for our first snorkelling session at 230pm....before tt, we tried to get used to our snorkelling equipment.I gulped like one cup of seawater in the process......it was sooooooo salty, i wonder if the saltiness is caused by the small business tt the visitors do in the sea??

Nway, off we went to our first island......all the corals and reefs are dead already but there are schools of fishes which sort of compensated the dead corals.I got bitten by the fish a few times after oliver passed me the bread to fish them.

Thereafter, the guys did some divings from the boat before we headed back to our island to have our tea.
Right after tt, we went to canoe.......i decided to partner wif oliver at the last min since winsiau dunwan me...boohooo...
Oliver kept on hitting me wif the paddle that i think the whole island can practically hear me shoutting ...at least joo claimed so.
Thereafter, me , joo and winsiau decided to snorkel again to look for the non- existing baby sharks....wasted our efforts!

We had our dinner and strolled along the beach......it was indeed relaxing, at least for me.. since i am not rushing for time now, if i was still studying, i would not hav enjoyed as much as i could hav.
Then we headed to the karaoke lounge... oliver performed a perfect piece.....he is just good!!!!
zzzzzz, end of the first day.......oli, ml, and eric went to cheong at one of the resort while all of us went to visit the other resort.

2D - We got up early to consume our breakfast , then , we changed to our snorkelling attire.This time the island tt we were visiting was nearer to the main island and there were lots of fishes too. Oli's group joined us too!
Dan dropped his snorkel equipment and oli had to dive in to pick for him.... and i was struggling to help oli to put back his life jacket just to find out tt one of his clips disappeared dunno to where to.
I think this was the moment where yewnam's butt got bitten by a fish......hmmm, or was i wrong? nway i had some difficulties wif my life jacket and the lifeguard thought i was going to drown.

Thereafter, we played beach volleyball then followed by table tennis before we headed to take our lunch.
After lunch, we went to snorkel at marine park which we had to pay 5 ringgit to see live corals , at least tt was wat they claimed so.We were disappointed as we couldn't see any live corals.... not even the eels that they claimed were swimming there...got conned by them!!

By this time, dan realli hated sea.....too much of sea for him in 2 days!!

We took our tea and headed to the pool while joo, js , jaysern, gl and ynam went to play basketball.There were some scuba divers in the pool practising.Though the pool was small, we had some fun .....however, sad for me coz i broke my goggles.

After tt, we bathed and got ready for dinner.We planned to watch vcd but it never happend as we stuck in the karaoke lounge and this was where the other group became active ....hehe, i mean sporting.
It rained and we had to rushed back.... and more game cards again before we slept

3D- final day of our trip.... took our breakfast followed by photo-takings, then sand collecting by me.Oh ya, i managed to persuade 5 of us to buy a frenship band... it looks cool....and we had some weird photos taken in the room.
Took more photos wif the other group and while walking back, it started to drizzle......

Boohooo, last lunch taken at the island and all of us packed our stuff to head for home.

Forgot to mention tt we visited the souvenir shop on the second night, and all 9 of us bought about RM250 worth of souvenirs... i bet the aunty must be smiling in her sleep tt nite.

Journey ride back was pleasant as i could sleep... maybe i was just too tired.We reached Jb at about 545am and after all the hassle at the customs , we finally reached clem to take our breakfast about 750am.

Thereafter, we splitted......... every good things must come to an end.... or maybe a better phrase would be all things starts well ends well. That's it for our supposedly graduation trip , it was indeed wonderful albeit not so grand.
