Deliciously Me

I seriously miss Redang. I really do. Looking at my gallery on Redang island yesterday (for blogging purpose) really made me feel like going to the nearby island (not Penang island, swt) and relax there. ahh~

Probably I should go back there – or go to Perhentian. I want island vacation. Deprieved of one. T.T

Anyway, now back to my Redang post part II – let us see more pictures of Redang. Maybe seeing them back could make you guys feel like going there again with me ler. *shifty look*

Ops. Wrong picture. Haha. That’s Daniel pointing to Shoutout logo drawn by Lasker. Well, they’re trying to promote Shoutout there – but they didn’t leave behind the url, how can people join wor. Hmm.

Anyway, today I shall bring you to another part of the island.

From our resort, we walked towards nearly end of the beach, past a 100m of lalang field, balanced ourselves for a stretch of uneven stone-y and dead corals bay, climbed up few big stones, skipped to avoid a small river of waste water while pinching our nose and finally another 100m of tar road to reach this popular beach – the Long Beach. (If not mistaken, ppl called that Long Beach lar. Lmao)

It was definitely worth going all those to reach here since it was more happening here, especially night time. Probably because few popular resorts are located here, like the Laguna Redang Resort.

Plus the colourful iconic house, More More Tea Inn – popularised by the movie Summer Holiday, is situated here too. Well, the More More Tea Inn is not an inn, but a two storey gift shop.

and not forgetting the most-photographed-thing-in-Redang, the headless woodboard. Lol!

Not enough for all the guys I guess. They had to take turns. Lol!

It was fun hanging out there. You can just wear your sunnies and just observing people like what Wendy did.

Or just snipe at pretty bikini girl.. *phew-witttt*

or jump around with a bunch of crazy people like what they did here. Lol!

Or just soaked ur feets onto the cold sand.

(Argh! All those really made me miss my island vacation alot! T.T )

We made several trips back and fro between our resort and Long Beach. We even went at night! But that was only once, and we spotted a rather reddish moon. Or was it purplish? I can’t remember. Lol!

Our vacation was so freaking relaxing (goodness, the hammock lying thingy was so blardy nice! – i forgot to add in earlier) that almost everyone was so reluctant to head home. We went for 4 days 3 nights; a day longer than my previous Redang trip, but it was nicer! The last time I went, I didn’t have enough of Redang and therefore I decided to go back there again in 2008. But now, I guess I shall put Redang aside and start looking for the possible islands to go. Like Perhentian, Phi Phi, Phuket or even Krabi. Hehehe!

Few days ago, not knowing what should I blogged bout first after looking through my picture gallery, I asked my dear which should I write.

When I mentioned Redang, he gave a response that I didn’t expect at all. This was what he said,

ah b haven’t wrote about redang ????
walau
that’s the time i was trying to kau ah b
ahaahahaahahahahahahaha

Cis! That donkeih always tease me, always luan luan crap things to kacau me. Hmph!

After teasing me, he asked me to decide it myself (potongstim nyerrrr). And since I got umph to write bout beach-y thingy, I chose Redang! Haha.

Redang trip 2008 members comprised of two groups departing from 2 states of Malaysia – Penang and KL. Coming from Penang were Lasker and his lovely wife, Elise, the lovebirds – Hugo and Wendy, LeeMay and me. From KL were Satkuru, Aaron, William, Daniel, David and Lisa. Both groups boarded night buses and reached Kuala Terengganu bus terminal early in the morning. When the sky still dark.

We started our journey on 19th of June, and headed to Redang Island with this speed boat on the beautiful sunny morning of 20th of June, 2008.

The whole journey was a total madness! Due to big sea waves, the boat was practically ‘hopping’ through the waves and when we reached the island, our butts felt as tho we’ve just sat on the Osim iGallop. Hahaha.

However, the whole butt-pain journey was really worth taking after seeing the white sandy beaches and the clear blue water and the lovely blue sky~

We stayed at Redang Kalong Resort which I think the resort caters more for the divers than snorkellers. I guess this resort is popular with divers, sort of divers’ meet up point! Lol!

Well, it’s not a bad thing, since the resort is quite secluded and away from the noisy popular Long Beach and human population (Lol), I got to relax and bask my skin under the partially sheltered sun (after applying the sun screen ofcz). Haha.

Besides, what else can we do apart from snorkelling (and diving for the divers with licence) and making sand castles? (Argh we forgotten to do that! T.T)

What? Seeing sea creature? You mean this (see picture below) We spotted abundant there!

That’s David’s palm btw. Lol!

It was soooooo slimmmmmyyyy! If not mistaken, one of us – not me! (can’t recall who) squeezed the poor fellow and water gushed out from its err.. hole?

I’ve been to Redang in 2007, but how can I say NO to this breathtaking place?!

Moreover, I knew that my Redang trip 2008 will be a blast! Well, it was kinda proven true since we have two crazy jumpers jumping off the boat almost each time we went out to the ‘open sea’ for snorkelling.

Here’s Aaron’s famous kungfu jump!

And William’s ops-I-terjatuh jump. Lmao.

(Mr. Leong, don’t keeeel me.. *runzzz and hidezz)

Also, we have with us, Hugo – a real injury prone person yet couldn’t resist himself from posing each time he had injuries!

I’d say almost every snorkelling trip we took pictures – before, during and after the dip. That explained the wet look on these guys’ faces. Lolololol~

And we ended almost every snorkel trip with the group picture.

Oh, I forgotten – the above picture is not the complete group photo. That’s only the snorkellers group photo. Lol! Lasker, Elise and Daniel were off to another boat for diving trip. You know, divers and snorkellers have different place to go; that’s why we got separated.

andddd… I shall continue more on this post another day. Probably 2-3 days later. Haha. Time to sleep now as I need to work tomorrow. T.T Before I jumped to my bed, let me end this post with two sunrise pictures taken with my Nikon S200 (I didn’t get my dslr yet that time). Must appreciate my sunrise pictures as I woke up damn early to take that picture okay! Haha.

Have fun viewing! Muahhhhhhh…

(Hmm.. somehow reminded me of Cambodia Angkor Wat sunrise.. T.T)
