Redang Trip

We went there by coach which took like freaking 8hours to reach the Shah-Bandar Jetty in Malaysia. The road was very bumpy and I wasn't able to get a shut eye at all ! It was a night bus by the way. The videos which were available on the coach were boring too. I've watched like everything especially when there are programs like funshion nowadays! *cheers* So I just stayed awake peering out of the window, looking at trees which appeared so evil and dark to me and occasionally looking at how my silly girl is able to sleep so soundly even on this bumpy road.

Once we reached the jetty, the driver called us to get down. I dislike the driver's attitude as he seemed to be quite annoyed for some reason. I overheard a couple asking him the name of this jetty & the driver was like " you don't even know which jetty you are heading to?" So anyways, we waited at the jetty for like 2 hours before boarding onto the ferry. It took like 1 and a half hours to reach Redang! I find that I have grown to be a professional at STONING! In the boat, i just peered out of the small oval shaped window looking at the water and the boat make contact. Whenever i spot land from a distance, I would get excited thinking if thats where we will dock. Before i know it, 2 hours passed and we reached our destination, finally.

When we are there, we received a short briefing on how to go about doing things on that island and etc. We checked-in to the resort and the room seemed nice and cozy, but i was disappointed that when we booked for the room, we chose garden view and the pictures on the internet showed that the garden view were quite beautiful and relaxing. However, when i opened the curtain and stepped into the balcony, all i see were trees. No garden, just trees like looking into the forest. Wtf. So to make things short & simple, in Redang, I find that the main activity would be the snorkeling or scuba diving. The beach is remarkably beautiful and the sea waters were crystal clear that you are able to see fishes just by taking a few steps into the sea. The sand is soft and white and decorated with many seashells and small stones. I like snorkeling as the fishes are just infront of my face whenever we fed them bread! I'm afraid of the bigger fishes though ): I think we spend most of our money on drinking young coconuts and eating their flesh on the bench, at the beach, relaxing after dinner and gazing at the dark sky which is filled with stars that shone like diamonds, every night. I liked the lemon cheese cake too!

So, my Gf made me take alot of pictures with her until i got fed up too. hahaha. I prefer taking pictures of the scenery than of myself. So, it was a very fun trip with her and i wish we could go on trips more often. The journey back from Malaysia, was also a boring one. We were seated separately from each other and yes, it was still a bumpy ride back home.
