Redang Trip (Final Day on 20 June 2009)

All of us decided to see the sun rise together and all of us woke up around 6.15am with great hope. However, the sun was block by the heavy and thick cloud and we were unable to witness the sunrise. I and Eddie were both lucky that we did wake up to see the sun rise the day before that day.


With disappointment, we went to have our breaksfast and quickly packed our stuffs so that we could walk around the beach for the final time and took some nice group photos.





We departed back to the jetty at Kuala Terrangannu by the ferry around 9.30am and then took the Resort's bus back to the bus station. We then rest for a while the guest house. Since we still had ample time before our flight at 9.30pm which was delayed for half an hour to 10pm, we went to tour around the town and tasting the nice "Nasi Kukus" and "Nasi Padang". We were unable to try out the popular "Nasi Dagang" since it was only available in the morning and evening and is not nearby. For more details of the "Nasi Kukus", feel free to visit our food blog at http://harkausiewmai.blogspot.com/







That concluded the 3 days 2 night trip. Overall, I was quite enjoy and relax during the trip and able to snorkel alot and see quite a number of different sea species there. But Eddie, Fook Weng and Yen Thoong who had been to Pulau Tioman has mentioned that Tioman is nicer and more beautiful as compared to Pulau Redang. For me, this was my fires time Pulau Redang and never been to Pulau Tioman. I would definitely go back for second visit. But, before that, I would want to visit other islands including Pulau Langkawi, Pulau Tioman as well as Pulau Sipadan where I have not made a visit yet.

Goodbye to Michael Jackson

Yesterday we just lost a superstar " Michael Jackson". He was 50 and was believed to be suffered from cardiac arrest. At the time of death, he was rehearsing for his coming planned 50 concerts. What a sudden death!!! Anyway, that is life. I just hope he will rest in peace and I will always remember him as the "King of Pop". Miss the nice songs by him, miss his moonwalk...!!!

Redang Trip (2nd Day)

I and Eddie decided to wake up early aounnd 5.30am to witness the sunrise. This was my first time to watch sunrise at beach so I decided not to miss this opportunity. WHen we went out, it was still dark and we still could see bright moon and stars. And at that time, we already knew that we woke up too early. We waited for an hour with quite a number of others and the sun finally rise!!! We were so happy...and of course, we did not forget to snap as much photo as we could. I think Eddie has taken around 80 photos for this sunrise taking from different angles and places.







After that, we straight go for breaksfast before going for another snorkelling session at the marine park. We also rented the underwater camera before snorkelling. Here are some of underwater photos taken:









After lunch and before second snorkelling for the day, we went for a short snorkelling in the beach near the Resort.




Some of photos taken during our second snorkelling session at the open sea:




After that, we went to nearby beach to search for baby sharks and we did see cute baby sharks swimming very fast passing by us. Of course, we also see quite a number of other beautiful and colourful fishes around. We just played around the beach before






At night, like first night, we just walked along the beach to other resorts

Redang Trip (1st day)

5 of us (Me, Yong Joo, Fook Weng, Yen Thoong and Choi Ling) gathered at PWTC at 9.30pm on 17 June 2009. We took 10pm bus to Kuala Terrengannu. It was 6 hours plus journey and we reached the bus station around 4.30am. Upon reaching there, we tried to search for food but there was no shops/restaurants around which were all still closed. I think there will only start to open around 8am. Upon waiting for few hours at the bus station and later at the guest house provided by the Pelangi Resort, the place which we were staying for the two nights in Pulau Redang, we then took the resort's bus to the ferry terminal and reached there around 10am.


At the terminal, the Resort's speed boat brought us to Pulau Redang less than an hour which is considered quite fast. After a short briefing, check in to room and took a short rest, we went for the buffet lunch provided by the Resort. The packages included all the meals (lunch, dinner for the 1st day, breaksfast, lunch and dinner for 2nd day and breaksfast for the last day). After lunch, we just went to walk around the beach and sun burn for a short while before snorkelling

The Resort where we stayed

Nice beach view

At 2.30pm, we went to snorker in the open sea and this was my second time snorkerlling. It was nice to see different kind of fishes and some beautiful corals. We didnt take any photos for the first snorkelling session but we only rented the underwater camera (RM50 per day which could allow us to take more than 160 photos) since there would have two snorkelling session including visit to the marine park during the second day.

After tiring snorkelling, we just walked along the beach to Laguna Resort and to the popular "Mo Mo Cha" to take some photos and played around the beach, posing for nice photos.

Not much night life for us in Redang. After dinner, we just decided to walk along the beach to all different resorts in Redang and grabbed some photos to pass our time but we slept around 10pm as we knew that the second day would be more tiring but enjoying.
