suddenly, i miss the redang trip quite terribly.

I miss that incident which happened at one of the pit stop at a shell station. We saw a dog running into the girl's toilet and taking out a few sheets of toilet paper along with it on the way out. Very eccentric behaviour of a dog. We all had a good time laughing at it lol


nights!

Decided to update a little to get away from all the work that ive been doing for almost the whole day.

I finally started working last thursday at century square best denki, selling sony/samsung mp3 and mp4 players. My colleagues are really nice people to talk to. My supervisor is really good at magic and he likes to perform for us. So the whole atmosphere there is quite relax. Thankfully we all like to laze around at times and are not the workaholic kind of people!

Working hours would be from 1230 to 930 with an hour break, which i tend to go back home to eat as the food is really expensive in the mall. The good thing about this job is that i only need to work from thursday to sunday. So i got 3 days to do my own stuff. Pretty nice schedule to me.

Hopefully i can settle in and make this a long term job.

Lastly, its my dad's birthday today. Happy birthday dad!

Bye all and take care always

Time to recount on the fantastic 4d3n trip at Redang! I shall post more pictures and type lesser so u guys can have a better picture of the whole experience!


Gathering at lih long's place before we head off for dinner


dinner at army market opposite golden mount!


group picture before we board the bus


kian nam going around, taking pictures with everyone


our first pit stop at yong peng. All of us were feeling hungry as u can tell


the jetty at terrengganu. Took us about 9 hours of bus ride to reach here.


Us and alot of other people waiting for the ferry's arrival. Around 1 and a half hours of waiting time :(


Onboard the ferry to Laguna Redang Resort!


Finally we reached the island after 2 hours of ferry ride. They said the journey is approximately 45mins. Nice fake :( Not even close!


Attended some short briefing which gave us a rough idea on what to expect during the 3days 2 night stay.



Snapshot of the beautiful beach while heading to the cafe for lunch


Lunch time! the food there is splendid. buffet ftw!


View of the beach from the Cafe! Very beautiful


Checked into our rooms after lunch. We booked a total of 3 "triple" rooms as there were 9 of us there but from this picture, you can clearly see that 1 "triple" room can obviously fit more than 3 people. haha


Another group picture before we head out to the beach!


Our first snorkeling trip. The venue was at some spot in the middle of the sea. What lies underwater is simply breathtaking.


Underwater group picture! You can see the lifeguards pushing us down because some of us were wearing the life jacket.


On the surface this time round

We didnt carry the cameras around with us when we went to the beach for safety reasons. So very few beach photos :(


Dinner time. Buffet again!


Loitering around the area after dinner


Our entertainment for the night was UNO stacko lol but that didnt last long


So we headed out to enjoy the activities going on


Sat at the beach bar to enjoy some drinks and live music!


Breakfast on the 2nd day. Yes its buffet again!


Balcony view of our room.


Spotted a damn squirrel at the balcony


The lobby area


Lunch time on the second day (buffet yet again!)


"Mo Mo Chao" Inn. The only store that sells souvenirs and various esculents there


Brought the camera out wif us this time to the beach!


We wanted to play volleyball but the court was taken up by others.


So we played frisbee instead


The wave over here wasn't as strong as it was in Langkawi. But the cleanness and crystal clear water is the reason why they call this place "paradise"!


Lots of tourists visited this place too during our stay even though its the off peak period. But most were them were Malaysians.




Back to our room!


Our last night was spent turning in as early as 1am because our ferry departs at 7am the next morning and we have to wake up at 530am to prepare to go for breakfast


This was taken at around 615am


All packed up and off we go for breakfast ! :(


Our last meal at Redang. Most of us, including me were very cautious of our intake this time round because we don't want to have tummyache on the 2 hours ferry journey back to Terrengganu. Some others and myself went to the toilet after the meal to "force" smth out but to no avail. haha yes thats how much we fear.


Bidding farewell to the cafeteria!


goodbye to the swimming pool!


Off to the jetty :(


Back at the Terregganu jetty, waiting for our coach to arrive. Around 2 hours of waiting time!


:O


Finally, our bus! Good thing about the journey back was that this coach actually has the video system in it. Which means movies and games to entertain us!


This is the last picture that i have with me now. Take at the Malaysian custom!

There you have it. The chronological order of the pictures taken from the day we set off to the day back in Singapore.

I know ive said this to many people before but i still have to reiterate that this short but fruitful vacation was defintely a blast. Snorkeling, relaxing in the crystal clear water, kayaking to the middle of the sea and swimming so closely to fishes was an eye-opener and exciting experience!

This is my first time going on a holiday with friends and we sure didnt choose the wrong location. Everything was immaculate. Their service was good, food was delicious, accomodation made us feel at home and even the weather was on our side. The only time it rained was during the wee hours of our 2nd night. But it made our sleep more comfortable. Besides that, it was sunny throughout the day

U guys must go visit this place! To quote their tagline " Your door step to Paradise"

That's about it. This entry will definitely be one of those to look back and enjoy in the future. haha

nights!
