Redang

Finally! The beachside trip that we've been talking about for the past year materialised! 15 of we MCKL friends did it! A day after the last paper of the science student, we were off to Pulau Redang! (I finished a week earlier =P)

The group consisted of 5 girls and 10 guys. The girls being Ning, Sara, Christine, Kuga and me, and the guys being Hsing, Pang Tsen, Kishan, Mogan, Vince, Vincent, Shannon, Choong Zeen, Han Ming and Ken.

We left on the night bus (Transnational). We thought that way, we wont waste our first day traveling and we can sleep in the bus too! Hah! So much for sleeping in the bus. I am one who can sleep anytime, anywhere, with any noise level. But somehow, i found it really difficult sleeping in the bus.


We arrived in Kuala Terengganu around 5am. The streets were still dark, and roads were empty. And so we managed to take this pic! All of us lying in the middle of a road. Good thing we didnt lie on the other side of the road that we first planned to. A bus came by shortly after we changed our minds.


Here's a pic of Chrisitine, me and Pang Tsen around 5.30am waiting for the ferry which will be arriving at 8.30am. Between that time, the girls got to go to Pang Tsen's aunt's apartment to wash up, then all of us went for breakfast at a hawker centre.


This is the quaint little place we stayed at. Mozana Resort. We were the only guests there on the first day and we got the rooms that faces the sea. It's like a long house right ON the beach! The food there is great! But I dun recommend anyone else to stay there anyway unless the person wants solitude and dont plan on jumping around in the water much. There's tons of stones in the water! The only good thing bout it is there's little fishies all over the place, even in the shallow waters.


Me chilling on one of the table/bench/dunno wat it's supposed to be. The broom's to sweep away the sand and kill insects that disturb my peace.


Me, Ning and Sara. Ah! You can see the sunburn! See my arms and upper chest? RED!


Ning and I. Dunno wat happen to Ning. Haha!


Group picure on Pasir Panjang without Pang Tsen (he was taking the pic)


Group picture on Pasir Panjang with Pang Tsen but without Vince. Dunno where he disappeared to.


Haha! Vince making a stupid face for the camera! He's too good at it! =P


A scenic pic on the beach front of Mozana Resort at midnight. The moonlight was really bright! I think the guy's Pang Tsen.


The sky above Mozana. Beautiful shades of blue.


Squirrels dating! NOT birds!


That's the moon! FULL moon!


This is Pasir Panjang. NOT where Mozana is located. It's quite a far walk from Mozana. We gotta walk across one long stretch of beach, through a jungle, across another long stretch of beach, pass the Lagune resort tong sampah place, across the wide compound of Laguna resort, then finally, PASIR PANJANG! But the long walk is worth it. The beach is WIDE! and LONG! and the sand! Wahh!!! So soft and nice. Like walking on flour. The waters so clear and blue. Barely any stones in the water. The waves were great! But no fish.


This is a pic of the back of the ferry returning back to mainland.


An awful pic of me with a weird hairdo. It's the STRONG wind.


Ken. This fella can sleep ANYWHERE! ANYTIME! Forever sleeping.


I think the first guy's Vince. Then Vincent and Choong Zeen on the upper and open deck of the ferry.


Pang Tsen on the upper deck of the ferry but not outside. Sitting on a table-like thing there guarding the sleepyheads below.


Vince, me and Christine. On the same 'table' as Pang Tsen. He was next to Vince. Thanks for jaga-ing us Pang Tsen!


Another group picture at the seafood restaurant in Kuala Terengganu. Had dinner there before we boarded our night bus returning to KL.

Thanks to Terengganu boy Pang Tsen and family for their hospitality!
