REDANG Trip 2010 - Sun, Beach and Sand.

WOW........after so many years of watching the movie 《夏日么么茶》,i finally had the chance to step into Pulau Redang, the place where you find beautiful and clear beaches.



Day 1: :

Gather at Newton ( where my office is) @6am and we started to sit on the coach to set off to Terengganu. We dropped off at JB for a quick breakfast and this was where we started our long , long , long , long bus journey..............................................in between break for lunch............... and some toilet breaks.....................and then at 7pm ..

YES!7PM, we finally reached the famous CRYSTAL MOSQUE at Terengganu. That is about 12 hrs of bus ride yo! So we got our camera ready and got as many shots as possible as we took such a bus ride to be here to see this special mosque. NEXT, we head for our DINNER!!!!

Guess what? While we were about to finish our dinner , we got a news that our coach's tyres was punctured!!! WHAT!!!!! We need to stuck at there...supposed to go to Chinatown and have a look but it was gone. Waited for abt 1 hrs or so, we had another coach to bring us back to hotel. We reached Sutra Beach hotel  at 11pm.

Day 2 : :
It was a fun day as it was a snorkeling day and be able to see beautiful beaches. I was a non-swimmer and feel excited for the snorkeling but at the same time feel scare too. Nevertheless, I still get myself ready for the snorkeling. Most important thing : APPLY SUN BLOCK FROM FACE TO TOES. hahaha.. my group really was a group that once we got chance, we would start applying sunblock...it was such a funny scene where u see abt 15 people applying the sunblock at the same time.

We reached the 1st snorkeling beach. Get ready our life jacket and the snorkel gear and here we go! I don't really dare to swim towards to the deeper part ( but there is where you can see more fishes and corals lor...) so i hesitate a bit..but with my help of my friend, Nicky, I tried to swim over and finally reached there). The 1st snorkeling place is for me to prepare myself more than enjoying. On the way back to the shore, need the help of my manager , Weiye and Mike to drag me back..hahahaha....

After lunch, we moved on to the 2nd snorkeling beach. This one was much more nicer and we able to see the fishes on the shore even without the need to swim to the deeper side. But still....do you think my friends will satisfied with just seeing the fish on the shore?NO!!! This time round, Weiye do not allow anyone to help me and wanted me to swim to the deeper part by myself... so i pushed, kicked, struggled and get myself there...hahaha...finally I reached there! ( still i got some help from Nicky and Nancy..cos we three are the best and brave non-swimmer that cannot swim but still want to swim there...hahaha.. WE MADE IT !!) The underwater world of course was much more beautiful than on the shore :  )  Luckily , Dai jie got a camera that can be taken in the water, so she had helped us to capture a lot of nice photos.

The sad part is that we didnt mangae to stay in Redang itself ..so next time shall go again and stay there...when is it ? I do not know..but I only know that the next time I go , I think I will choose to take a plane than coach.

DAY 3 & 4 : :
Again most of the time spent was on the coach as we are heading to KL. In between we stopped over at Kuantan to buy some local products. Supposedly  , there was only one of our friends wanted to buy salted fish ..but in the end...all of us were with a bag of local products...hehehe..no choice...sit on the coach too long..if didnt buy anything back..feel sorry for ourselves...hahahaha..

Once we reached KL, we wasted no time and go for shopping!!! The happiest stuff I bought for myself was 2 pair of slippers...cheap and good yo...hahahaha...


The stay in KL for me was always short and rushing...Hope that the next time I go KL is long enough for me to enjoy...

Overall , it was a fun trip. This trip I got to know better of the agents from other agencies. Usually in the office, hardly had a chance to speak to them , other than friends from my agency and only get to know them through their names. This time round, we had laughter and chit chat along the whole journey so I feel much more closer with them and of cos also with Nicky and Weiye.

Thank you everyone for making this trip so fun and enjoyable ! =) 

Looking forward for the next trip , be it is with my own agency or with other agencies . But I do wish for one that is from our very own OWY Team as it had been long since we go for tour as a group!

KRABI shall be the next destination ! =)
