Sorry for the long wait! Haha. Had been tired after work so didn't really get to finish up this entry. If you can still remember, this is our trip to Redang from the 19th to 23th August. I met up with Herman and took a bus down to bugis. Went to the temple to pray for a safe trip.
Went to Bugis Village to eat as we both were hungry. After which, we had a walk around, exchanged our currencies, and finally caught up with BingRu, who came to join us after work. And we went to eat again in the market along Beach Road.
My second dinner.
Bing Ru.
Herman.
Our luggages.
The bus! It's quite comfortable.
Even provides us with a screen to watch movies...
...and not forgetting the headphones.
Getting comfortable for the long ride.
After passing through the customs in Tuas, we came to a stop to rest and fill up our stomachs before embarking on the 9 hours bus ride. We didn't eat much though(We had so much in Singapore already), but we did buy stuffs like bubble gums!
Favourite.
Day 2.We reached a jetty called the Merang Jetty, and had our breakfast there while waiting for the ferry to come ferry us to our destination! However, it seems that there were some misunderstanding between the personnel at the jetty counter and us, and Herman decides to make a few phone calls to the travel agency to confirm.
The mafia calling reinforcements. Lol.
We were then brought to another small jetty where we will wait for our ferry. It seems that we are going to different resorts, and so they had different ferries for us. And we didn't know our resort isn't in Redang Island itself, though our package says we are going to Redang. A little confusing though.
This is the small jetty where we were supposed to wait.
Italian family. They were going to the same resort as us.
Off we go...
...and there it is! Our holiday!
And the waters there were really clear.
I think this island is part of which that forms up the whole Redang. I'm not really sure either.

On the left is a so called lounge to watch television, and further straight ahead there's a shop, a pool table and a few tables to play mahjong and cards and stuff.
The TV place.
The canteen.
Checking in.
Haha. We got into our room, unpacked and had a shower before going to the canteen to have our lunch.
As you can see, we had to remove our shoes and slippers before entering the canteen. Basically, we had to remove the shoes at the reception desk, before entering the TV place and the shop, and even before going up on the corridors outside our rooms. So, we had to remove our slippers everywhere we go.
After lunch, we went back to our room and had a nap. We were all kind of tired from the bus ride, as it was too cold and we couldn't really sleep well.
We woke up, and decided to explore the resort.
!!!
We went to find out what is there to do at night. Nothing much exciting. But very relaxing. You can either buy some beer and head to the lounge to watch television all night...
...or head out to the beach and look at each other...
...or to their KTV to sing songs!
They had to manually change the disc for each and every song we asked for.
This is actually S Club Seven's "Never Had A Dream Come True", but the mtv was S.H.E's. Lol.
Too much people in the KTV. So we head out to eat instant noodles...
...while watching Da Ge Da.
And that's the end of a relaxing Day 2.
Day 3.
We were waken up in the morning by someone who were shouting "Marine Park... Marine Park..." outside our rooms. Only then did we remember we were supposed to be going on our first snorkelling trip! Got up in a rush, and decided not to bring anything else in case they go missing while we were snorkelling.
REGRET.
The waters there, the fishes there, everything. So beautiful. Regretted not having brought our cameras. The whole snorkelling trip was great.
Lunch time.
Oh my baby...
We had another snorkelling trip in the afternoon, the Round Island Trip. They brought us toa snorkelling point in our island itself, and this time, we brought along an underwater camera. Will post the pictures again. After the snorkelling trip in the afternoon, we went to play mahjong. Haha. It was free, and there were only 3 of us. So it was just to pass time.
At night, Herman and BingRu went to the KTV again. I was tired and stayed in the room watching Bleach on my PSP. Haha.
Day 4.
This time, we brought along our camaras.
The ride back to Singapore was freaking long. We board the bus at 10 in the morning, and alighted in Golden Mile at 10 plus at night. Rotted our asses on the coach. Haha. Great trip!
