My Redang island trip Part 1

Today is 7 August... Time flies... I was nervous about Redang trips few weeks ago... and now i came back to KL for 2 weeks time already... Wow...

I would like to write this journal long time before... but due to my laziness and also little bit of busyness.. I have at least few time to write about this trip...

This Redang trip spent us 5 years until we really go there... The reason is... we can't match all our time together!! Finally this year... we came out a so-called "policy" among ourselves.... we not gonna match everyone time for trip... for those who wanted to go and at the same time, have something else to do... then they have to choose between trip or their own stuff... otherwise... we not gonna have one single trip if we keep compromising... or else... you plan one... then we join you! Fair enough!! LOLX!!!

This time... I was the planner... AND I was really stress up due to want to keep everyone happy... try to get reasonable price and arrange transport... It wasn't a glad process while you are the one who was planning stuff.. but I did it...

After few struggling, we choose to find back my last time Tioman trip in charge person... he actually just helped us in room reservation and pick a resort... I don't even saw him in the trip... maybe he only take tour in Tioman... anyway... He helped us quite a lot and thanks for his tolerate... we added another friends halfway... after I confirmed with him the amount of us...

The journey started with 6-7 hours crazy car drive!!! I wasn't the driver... my friend Ellen was... She drove her LIMITED EDITION Kelisa all the way long... of coz I wasn't that bad sleep in car... I accompany her all the way just in case I would wake up in hospital... or never wake up... haha... Drive alone would make her suffering alone... so better stay awake with her and talk to her la... ya... longest chat I had... 7 hours... kinda non-stop chat... but we made it... Well it was 4 people trip... 3 of us start our journey from KL and 1 of us was waiting us in Kuala Terengganu already... and he -JS was the one who guide us how to drive there through phone... We did google how to go... but google shown us sort of rural area although it would be faster... but at last... we took JS advise and go according to his guide... which basically tell us which signboard should we go... but I appreciate all the effort he made... he kept awake during dark night and receive our call while he ready to sleep.... haha... how about other friend? TL... he was making us some MUSIC all the way long... and honestly... we kinda try to "study" his music...

We started our journey about 11.45... and reached K.Terengganu about 6 somethings... we try to catch the 1st boat at 8a.m ... and we made it!!! After hang out in JS home... took some picture about his house... YES... we like one who never see house... took some photos in JS room... It was or IS a most mosquitoes rooms I ever in... After hang out in JS house, we drove to Merang Jetty... it's actually 20-30 minutes drive to there... JS was so enthusiastic in show us how K.Teregganu look like... buildings, foods, place to go... bla bla bla... and we were too tired to listen his introduction and shown no interest... >.< It was rude... but we didn't meant it... or at least I didn't meant it...

So... when we were there... we need to find the resort logistic... so that we know which boat would we go aboard... We parked our car there... then wait about 15 minutes...yeah!! on our way to island!!! The whole boat experience wasn't fine... haha...none of us experience seasick... but others do... and god know why... why we looked at them when they thrown up... and we look at their vomit... yuck... that really sick... Not only that... we keep focus on one couple... we made a conclusion --> They must be secret lover... don't ask me why... we just felt it!

It about 45 minutes on aboard... and my friends felt so afraid when we see the wave... it wasn't funny and like stop us to go there... but as you can see this... we survive... and backed from a wonderful trip...

No joking blue sea... although the sea was polluted... but somehow... it is still a beautiful sea... we went to check in and it took us 30 minutes to get one... After briefing about the schedule and activities... yeah... go back to room!! the room was fine... with air condition... and not too far from the beach... no sea sight ?? Ya... low budget ma... It's too early for our first lunch... they decided to sleep for a while and I couldn't sleep so went out walked around and took some picture there...

11am--> We take our lunch... it's in buffet style but the option is really limited!! The food was fine too... at least... acceptable taste la... After lunch... we rent our snorkeling tools and ready to snorkeling!!!

1pm: --> We thought we are going to have a "training" before snorkeling but I was wrong... There are no training and we directly went to middle of the sea... My friends all so worry... included me... coz I don't sure I can snorkeling without fins... because it kinda tired without them... luckily I still able to swim... but my fellow friends... just got a little bit worry... when we reach there... I can't wait to jump down!!! After short briefing... I saw all other jumped in the sea... how can I be slow... then I jumped in too!! JS actually "went" down to the sea before me... but he seem struggling and can't swim out from the boat... he was like stick with the boat... after i took him out... he can actually swim... the problem happened when Ellen and TL came down... I don't sure they willing to share or not... but it was kinda embarrassing moment... and one thing to learn - MISUNDERSTANDING kill people... lolz...

4/5pm: --> We back to island... to be honest... the 1st spot wasn't impressing... maybe I was too busy in taking care my friends... the spot is too deep and we can't see it very clear... but it's a funny snorkeling moment at that spot... we continue our swim around the sea... I enjoy floating and swimming in the sea... So relaxing and relaxing....

6-7pm: --> We went back to our room... tidied up ourselves... took showers and went out for dinner... maybe I was too tired... I actually went back to sleep after the meal... but I actually wanted to walk around the beach... luckily I wasn't sleep too late... still able to wake up at about 9/10pm and walk around...

10-12am. :--> We walked around and look for "Blue Tears" or "Sea-firefly" it's some sort of microorganism... We saw not much anyway... After that... we went to our resort... sat in the lying chair and talk... it was a great night for us to sit over there and relaxing...

Ok... I am too tired to write second day... TO be continue... and this is too long for a journal rite? >.<
