Went for a 3 days 2 night trip at Redang Island, a really exhausting one, like half of our group fell sick after / during the trip, including myself :(

I went to shop alone for short pants like 4 hours before my bus to Kuala Terengganu, get back to home, packed my stuff in 15 minutes and left. The 1 am bus arrived at KT at 4 am in the morning, we had to wait for 3 hours before someone come and pick us up. Basically we ate abit at the bus station, shopped abit at 7-11, and I played with Pon pon's Ipod Touch while the others slept.

Everyone were so tired that they went to sleep right after they got their room keys at Redang, only few of us went for a walk to explore the resort a little bit. We grabbed our snorkeling tools and went snorkeling after our lunch.

It was really a funny experience, despite helping those who can't really get used to the sea and swim, the guides kept frightening them with sea cucumbers and corals. I must say the government did a really good job keeping Redang sea unpoluted, the water is still crystal clear.


When we're not out there snorkeling, we'll stick to games like Mahjong, flying darts, Rami, Pool, Ping pong. What? Why did we travel all the way to Redang Island to play table games? Because we just like it that way :P At night our singers went to sing some karaoke, too bad nobody snapped pictures of them singing.




At the first night I'm already having sorethroat, and it got worst in the 2nd morning. Still there's another snorkeling trip waiting, this time at the famous Redang Marine Park. The park is really awesome, lots and lots of fishes that surrounds you, not afraid of humans. We should've bought a undersea water and take some pictures :(


We skipped the last snorkeling trip and went to Redang main beach area sight-seeing. Which we took hell lots of pictures. We also played Beach volleyball and kayak at evening. I was really ill on the second night having headache, slight fever, sorethroat, running nose (OMG H1N1? LOL), so I went to sleep earlier while the others continued their Rami frenzy.



Had to leave at the 3rd day, our ferry was at 12pm but we had to check out at 9am. We packed, checked out, and continued Mahjong-Rami-ing, took some last moment pictures and say goodbye to Redang Island.

Off-Topic : We took a Transnational bus from Kuala Terengganu to Kuantan, cost an additional 2 Ringgit and like 100 times sucker. The bus looks like some 1970's bus with pampers, rubbish, insects and idiots. Some Malay teens actually molested one of my friend. (Please note that the key word is not "Malay") Worst of all, it took freaking 4 and a half hours to reach Kuantan, that's 1 and a half hour longer than our first ride to KT.
