Pulau Redang

Among all the islands i've been too....Phuket, Langkawi, Pinang, Singapore? ....Redang was d BESTEST.....real waters ...clear....vry good....

fri
left by bus after meeting everybdy at ozana at 10pm
stop nearly every two hours to empty bladders.
slept for two hours only....bus stop...woke up...

sat
along the way passed by an oil refinery plant...it was HUGE with flames on the top of the towers on both sides of the road....too sleepy to notice the place ...was way in the wee hours of mornin..
reach kuala terengganu and had breakfast aroun 6 sumthin..only one chinese makan area in the town accordin to the bus driver....food was lousy
after breakfast went to jetty to wait for ferry...waited abt two hours i think...so looooong....n hot...till i realise there was an air con waitin room :s
the kids were playin some sorta clappin game i still couldnt understn!!!

so when d ferry arrived it took another 1hr n 4 0 min to reach d island...not our chalets....tht took another 30 min by another smaller boat....den at the chalet...since it was a quite a big boat and couldn't exactly land by the beach we hop on unto another smaller sampan boat....to bring us to shore....3 boats to get to our chalets!!! woa....

after settling down was lunch...den snorkellin!!! ah.....20 bucks for d gear throughout d entire stay...

took yet another two boats to the marine park...for snorkellin...
you could actually touch the fishy's at the marine park! way cool underwater life....oh ya about the water again...run to a tap turn on the water...clear.....the sea there is equally clear if not clearer...

den back at the chalets wer we rested had dinner n called it a day...at least for me...i slept at 9pm!!! accordin to my bro it took me 6 sec to start ZZZzzZZzzzZZZz boy was i tired

sun
basically the same....as sat....woke up had breakfast ...then out snorkellin again...dis time somewer diff.....not as nice as the marine park wer fishy's wer kept but this is a more natural open area...jumped out of the boat and.....*blunk* the sea was deep!!!! way way way DEEP!!! i actually couldnt reach d floor!!!woo...kinda scary for the first few min but then i was wearin a life jacket....which kept me floatin...heh....d sea is deep!!....
after tht...oh ya...those who didnt go in to the sea got seasick....hahahah....while waitin on the boat

den it was back to the resort for lunch...den back snorkellin...well d kids went....most of the ppl stayed back...i did...too exhausted...played cards with jien...my bro...aunty soon ling, joshua n shu yuen....
