Redang was the ON!

September 27th, 2005 » 384 views

Last Friday ST, KY, God, Saint, Suan, Sotong, Margie, The Great Faggot and I left Kuala Lumpur for a diving/snorkelling vacation at Redang Island. It was a blast, nuf’ said. I’ll let the pictures do the talking…

So anyway, I didn’t write much about the trip because I was feeling really lazy. Now that I’ve gotten back from classes and saw all the thorough reports by Suan and ST, I thought I’d just chip in a couple of more cents on the trip.

The 1st day was very tiring as I didn’t sleep the night before. We had to be at the airport by the ungodly time of 5.30am. What’s more, I was on a bikini diet (like no food at all…) for 2 days for vanity reason. That explained the Pringles snatching incident related by Suan in her photo album. Anyway, I was seated next to KY and dude had no qualms telling horror stories about plane crash and about how MAS engineers refuse to board Air Asia planes and stuff (mind you, spoken out loud somemore!). Suffice to say, I was quite nervous throughout the 55 minutes journey. Thank you very much.

Before boarding - Margie, Sotong, me and Suan.

K-unpolitically correct-Y.

From Kuala Terengganu’s airport, we journeyed to the jetty in a very comfortable bus. Man was driving like he’s on Red Bull though. Still, there were plenty of Kancils trying to overtake our bus. That confirmed that it’s really a Malaysian thing, this crazy driving issue.

They won’t let me have Pringles!

From the jetty, it was a 45 minutes journey to Pulau Redang on a speedboat. Nothing memorable except for the stinkyass life jacket. The sight of Pasir Panjang completely took my breath away. The sand was powdery white and the water was just clear turquoise blue. Redang Beach Resort, where we were staying is located right in the middle of the stretch of white sand. ST, KY, Suan and I shared a room. Just in case your mind starts to wander, there were 2 bunk beds, so there. It sure was modest accomodation but there was aircon and hot shower.

The boat ride.

The lodging.

While the scuba diving boys went for their briefing, the rest of us changed into our bikinis. Couldn’t wait to embrace the beach life, hehehe. Basically the whole day was spent frolicking at the beach. Poor Suan got burned though, since
