I am back from Redang!

Was away from Sun till Thurs. Missed me ya?

Anyway, Pulau Redang was simply beautiful!! Have no idea where the hell I am referring to? It's the place where they filmed Xia Ri Mo Mo Cha (*cues: Lang hua yi duo duo)

The trip by coach to Terengganu state was around 9hrs, afterwhich we gotta take a 1hr ferry ride before we arrive at the beautiful island! The beach was damn pretty!
Crystal clear water, different shades of blue and white white sand! It simply took my breath away. We spent a lot of time by the beach, tanning, building sandcastles and riding the waves! No wonder it's called Re Lang Dao in Chinese, there's a lot of waves indeed! But they are all rather gentle and it's quite fun to just jump and bob along with the waves. The water was still quite shallow even when you go further away from shore, so we could just splash about in the sea as much as we want to!

Take a look!

Us on the ferry!

See 3 shades??

Pretty!!

Ahhhh....

Haha. Resembles those pictures from blog layouts.

Beautiful sunrise..

The More More Tea Inn!

Oh, I forgot to mention about the food! Imagine having buffet-style meals for all your 3 meals! There's a huge variety! Be it Western, Malay, Chinese or Indian, you name it, they have it. There's like, people frying pancakes, pratas and all kinds of egge for you, plus a whole table of food like bread, sausages, fried noodles, nasi lemak, congee,chee cheong fan for breakfast. For lunch and dinner, there's people frying kway teow, making satay for you, on top of the buffet food which includes all kinds of meat, veggie, soup(both western and chinese). Then there's also fruits and dainty kuehs for desserts! I think we gorged ourselves silly with those food! This is bad for the waistline. Argh.

Come on, drool!!

Yum!

Yumyum!

On top of the great food and beautiful beaches, the service was great too! The workers there are all very nice, easy-going and friendly. I guess being faraway from the hustle bustle of the city and the scrutiny of the rat race accounts for their laid-back attitude. There's simply an air of innocence and sincerity around them. =)

Oh, it's not all about tanning by the beach. They have mass dances by the beach every evening and a live band playing at the beach bar every night. It's really fun to dance along with lots of people on the beach or just sip on a glass of cocktail while listening to the live band.

Sad to say, I diden went snorkelling due to my phobia of water. The others did though and they got to see beautiful corals and cute little fishes like the nemo fish!

And after 3-4 days at the island resort, we became super tanned. I am starting to peel now. Argh.

That basically sums up my trip! If u guys want a truly relaxing holiday, do consider Redang Island! It's a totally different form of holiday!

Oh man, I am starting to miss the place already. Haha, even dreamt of myself bobbing along with the waves. =)
