Our First Trip - Redang Island

13 - 16th May, 2009 - Our first memorable trip which had planned during the CNY time, and here is the day we are waiting for it. We went there in a group together with Shiew Leng's friend, Kentry and her boyfriend and her boyfriend's friend.

13th May - Wednesday. We were going to Kuala Terrengganu a day earlier than her friends as we are taking Air Asia Flight whereby they are taking bus to KT. We have make a right choice as we no need to suffer a long land journey.

We reached KT about 3.30pm and we took taxi to our pre-booked backpack hostel, Ping Anchorage which located at the KT town centre. After we took our key and get 10 - 15 minutes rest at our room, we start exploring the town.

The room is so big and attached with bathroom just cost us RM50 per day.

We have to rent the snorkeling tools such as goggles and jackets and have to specially rented from next door due to Shiew Leng's eye power is extremely high. We are unable to take any photos during the snorkeling time due to our camera is not water resistant.

15th May - Friday, the second day in Redang Island and we are having a same activities in morning and afternoon. Yup, that is snorkeling. This time we are going abit far so called Marine Park (RM5 permit) and enjoying swimming and see the colorful fishes. Me and Shiew Leng is always stick together as she do not know how to swim.

Although snorkelling is quite enjoyable but it's tiring and nose is painful once we seep some salt water from the sea. Therefore, most of us not choose to go for snorkelling in the afternoon session. As this is my second time visiting Redang Island, I was brought them to the jungle trekking which I was been explored last time.

A lovely couple photos of the year. Even my PC's wallpaper also putting this till now.

Here is the trekking group under my supervision.


Helping each other is a must in jungle trekking.


We are almost there.


And finally, we have reach the Berjaya Private beach. It's take about 45 minutes to the destination.


You see? How 'LUM' is my dear? She said is pretend one. I don't believe it.


Yeah, we are back to our base safely.

After the jungle trekking, we all have back to our room. Some are resting, some are walking around and heard some of them is going to see baby shark. Me and Shiew Leng was rented the canoe and play kayaking. We were kayak quite far from the beach and its very happy rowing together with Shiew Leng.
