redang was the fun!

So we were at Redang Island for three days and two nights (23-25 Sept). Some of them went for a Project AWARE clean the beach/sea thingy, some of us just went there for the sun, sea and sand.

Don’t you wish you were there too?

By golly, what fine sand! Even though there were aplenty dead corals washed ashore (and dying corals at the marine park), I’d never felt such soft sand before edited – actually I did, in Sabah but that was a jolly long time ago so I apologise if I can’t remember as many things as I used to 🙁 Penang and Langkawi have nothing like this, NOTHING!

I wore a bikini anyway. Screw your eyes. Bwahahahahaha!

As the saying goes, round is a shape.

The first day we just did some swimming and suntanning. I got sunburn. Yalah, all my fault. But sleeping in the sun feels so goooooood! Of course lah, need to have the perfect environment also… give me the best bed and a million bucks to sleep by the LDP underneath the hot scorching sun for a couple hours… no thank you.

The drinking water where we were was supplied via an underground source… apparently a couple months ago it was alright and normal but when we were there, the water was salt-enhanced… maybe the underground source got kinda screwed up. There was orange juice and Chinese tea at the buffets… so it was sweet+salty orange juice and salty Chinese tea. Just needs getting used to.

We went to the marine park on the second day. What Kim didn’t blog about was that she kena molested by some hamsap guy who brought her around to see what’s swimming in the waters… if he had his way I’m sure he would show her what was swimming in his pants too… luckily she refused to ‘pergi jauh sikit’ (go a bit further).

Then something ridiculously funny happened to ST – I wasn’t there to see it but I’m sure he would tell you later anyway.

We were like, teh happy… and can ST get a BodyGlove endorsement?

My digicam was quite fucked – I can’t take proper photos whenever there’s sunlight. Don’t know if it’s a technical fault or the design flaw. So yeah, I couldn’t take nice photos under sunlight. Sien.

On the way back to the travel agency’s office in Kuala Terengganu town, we stopped by a roadside stall selling keropok lekor. IT WAS TEH GOOD!!! I SO WANT MORE!!!!!

Then we spent a few hours in town which I’d rather not remember.

So, yeah overall it was fun. But I damn kesian Redang Island… over-commercialised and the dying corals at the marine park quite menyakitkan hati. And the diesel and smoke from the boats and the environment and the everything, you not kesian meh?

I am sentimental like that.

Next time I want to go to Pulau Perhentian.

  4. Dabido (Teflon) says

    Suanie, you look very nice in that bikini.

    (No, not hitting on you – just stating a fact).

    Of course, some might put it down to my lack of sleep, over studying or the fact I’ve been sick for three days and drugged to the eyeballs … but don’t listen to them! You do look very nice in that pic.

  5. never put the pictures of ur NOOB SUNBURNT shoulders? heehee

  6. Giant Sotong says

    If I wasn’t so lazy, there’d be a welovesuanie.blogspot.com C8-)

    But who needs a shrine? You know we luvs you anyways.

  7. oOOoo…but the beach at Berjaya is even more fine and superbly white without any trace or dead chorals washed ashore.

    Was the guy who tried to tempt Kimberly to pergi jauh a Malay guy with flippers? Coz there was this guy who asked us to follow him jauh at the Marine Park showed us alot of nice stuffs which most people can’t see..it’s at the other end of the ‘allowed’ area…we even saw a turtle thanks to him.

  8. NARCISSISM IS NECESSARY says

    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&#…

  9. Hey

    Was in Redang 3 years back. It was getting pretty polluted and all then. I can imagine what it is like now.

    My friends were just in Perhentian a couple of months back. News is that it’s even worse than Redang …..

    Nice pics, btw ……. and you look good in the bikini. Serious.

  10. you and anzi have good taste, what can i say hehe

  11. i don’t have any…

  12. 0_o thank you thank you *sniff* (p/s I prefer Hoegaarden White over Grand Cru hehe)

  13. They used to say, ‘better go to Redang now before it gets over commercialised/polluted… I guess I missed that boat 🙁

    Dang I heard of great things about Perhentian… I guess Sabah is the only heaven left 🙁

    Thank you *blushes* you do know that I won’t post any unflattering photo of me, right? tee-hee

  14. I WANT THE MYSTERY MEAT!!!

  15. i second dabido.

    you actually DO look pretty nice in that bikini… hehe 🙂 🙂

  16. Yeah..Berjaya abit $$$. Luckily we got it for free. Muaharhar…4d 3n free *grins*.

  17. ya suan you look nyam nyam with the bikini kit. muaks.

  18. then where’s my bf? har? HAR????

  19. but berjaya is like very the $$$..

    Carol and I had one guide, he was super nice and showed us lots of things. Kim was either too hot or plain unlucky, or a combi of both…

    We saw a turtle on the boat en route to the marine park. The boat drebar stopped the boat for a bit to let us see.

  20. So last weekend a bunch of us jokers went to Redang. Some of us are divers, and some are noobish snorklers. Others just love to sleep, and at least one noob got serious sunburn on her shoulders (she is the famous blogger who went on the star.)

  21. suanie! looking goot in that bikini… but i can help but keep looking at marge… hur hur hur….

  22. can’t! can’t! can’t!

  23. Dabido (Teflon) says

    How should we know?

    Where did you leave him last?

    Actually, we’re still trying to build him in a lab. You wanna know something? When you attach those electrodes, get a big lightning storm and flick that swtich … it just fries them, doesn’t bring them to life at all!

    Hmm, have to dig some more guys up for you! 🙂
