Day 0
Depart from Puduraya around 2230 to Kuala Terrengganu.
People went: Me, AK, JJ, JY
Nothing happened except Jiun Jie keep waking me up every hour just because he couldn't sleep on a bus.. Laughing by himself at times.. worst was at 4+am asking me whether the sea/beach is just near off the road.. dah la my eyes blur blur from sleep.. i said no and he said got coconut trees.
My house oso got coconut trees but there ain't a beach here..
Coconut trees =/= Beach.
PS: on the way back from redang, i realised we were actually near the beach..
Day 1
Early morning..
Sampai KT around 5am. still blur blur, with the urge of peeing.. cari toilet, pay 30 cents (!) and peed.
JJ called the resort operator for our transport to the resort office..
Waited for transport..
Waited..
Waited….
HUNGRYY!!
Waited………
JJ called again..
Finally saw someone.. "Lim Jian Jee?" [do note that JJ's name is Lim Jiun Jie]
*ikut ikut, walk to van*
Had a small conversation, van driver started first..
"pukul berapa sampai KT?"
"hampir pukul 6 pagi lah"
"ye ke? saya tunggu kat sini sejak 6 pagi la.. sempat makan kat mamak tu"
*points to mamak at the corner of the road*
*we speechless*
Sampai the resort's office > makan breakfast (yingyong mee for rm2.50!!) > jetty > board boat > sampai Redang Reef Resort
Afternoon..

Redang Reef Resort
Unload our bags from boat, jalan masuk into the resort, and we found this:

Why no girlfriends available?? No Mak buaya ka?
Checked-in (or is it check-ined? Hmm..)
Recieved daily itinerary (i still dont know how to spell that nor know what is the meaning to itinerary)
Enter room.
The room was.. Okay lah.. but the TOILET….. OMG.. dirty.. -.- water is also filled with rust and was milky after draining.. Had a feeling that my trip wasnt gonna be nice..
Lunch was ok, but quite dry.. Maybe water shortage..
Borrowed some snorkeling gear + life jacket for rm20, got it on with instructions from JY, our diving expert. I can swim, but it's been nearly 2 years since i swam.. summore with snorkeling gear.. felt weird with it on.. so got a life jacket incase anything goes wrong.. test for a while.. saw fishies.. saw clown fish (Nemo!), the state's official maskot replacing the penyu.. then went to our first snorkeling trip..
Went to marine park.. saw baby penyus.. had a small briefing.. went for snokeling.. saw some fish.. normal fishies.. no sign of Nemo yet..
swim swim swim..
BIG EEL!!! (no pics coz no underwater cam)
It was as long as my height… swimming so fast, just enough to catch a glimpse of it..
swim swim swim..
BANG! I terlanggar someone's head.. looked up.. a guy.. -.- no luck for a girl yet. HAHAHa..
nothing much happened after all.. was a nice swim.. balik resort for tea, was a good tea break, best tea break for the entire trip.. snorkel near the resort..
Then i started to saw something shining in the sand.. swam there… WOOooo.. 50 cents.. swim summore… 20 cents! Treasure hunting was on~! Hahaha.. but found nothing tho..
went for a walk on the beach.. play beachvolley.. then beach soccer.. main main.. then.. WHAM.. i kicked my own foot. -.- Sand can be dangerous at times.. tiny cut on my right toe and a huge bruising at the back of my left leg..
go back mandi.. with unfiltered water.. felt dirty after mandi.. makan dinner.. too damn tired ady, went to sleep.. with a painful toe..
now my toe is still painful and looks like a big blue lollypop.
To be con't

nice?
oh btw, i still havent recieve jy’s cam pics.. so today getting it lor..i hope..
