Lodging: Redang Pelangi Resort
I'd feel sorry to myself if I'm not travelling anywhere during this 3-month-vacation. Fortunately near to the end of it, I got to travel to Redang Island with Chan Wei, Xin Ying and my girlfriend, Joling.
We took a night bus from Komtar, Penang and reached Kuala Terengganu in the next morning.
The 1st day
While waiting for the boat, we brushed our teeth, Facebooked and ate sushis, prepared by Joling.
And camwhoring...

After boarding the boat, together with a few groups of tourists whom we're not acquainted with, we reached Redang Island in about, hmmm... 5 minutes?
When it's driving ashore, I can see that the seawater is truely almost blue-ish clear!!
OH MY GOODNESS, I thought I can only see this on TV or magazine, now I'm here!!
Although it's not somewhere famous like San Diego, the scenery excited me.
Our room was unexpectedly spacious.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all in buffet style.
Before venturing out, remember to apply sunblock before you turn into a roasted turkey...
This is one of the must-visit-places when you travel to Redang - More More Tea Inn, the place where scenes in 《夏日麽麽茶》 were filmed.
The bridge to Redang Reef Resort
This was spectacular and it's my first time seeing a full moon with it's reflection on the sea from the horizon.
It was seriously so awesomely wonderful, despite taking lousy photos because we didn't bring a tripod...
The 2nd day
We managed to rent a waterproof camera from the resort, in order to take photos in the sea while snorkeling.
Remember not to bring someone who doesn't know how to swim with you. Despite having a life vest and snorkel, Joling was grabbing me so tight all the time like she's gonna be drowning anytime, haha...
Anyway, if you want to have a really pleasant experience of snorkeling, then stay away from your friends who don't know how to swim. Ok, I'm just kidding...
Clean water from the mountain?
And the place we're snorkeling at is Marine Park Center
We're then back to the main island, and it's another camwhoring session...
Jumping shots
Snorkeling again, and this time with more bread pieces...
You have to be careful while snorkeling because my leg was cut by the coral rocks for a few times.
Sometimes the fish can be quite tickling...
Ah yeah, got some shots with bikini babes. Muahaha...
(Remember to wipe the lens of the waterproof camera before shooting)
Back to camwhoring again...
Stone skipping
Laguna Redang Resort
We somehow ended up here again - More More Tea Inn... Haha...
Ok, what're we doing?
We heard that there's blue sand at the beach in front of Redang Reef Resort. We don't know the correct way to make them appear, but we just dragged the sands with our slippers.
And by chance, miraculously we saw some blue glowing spots tiny little which fade off after about a second. Wasn't that amazing?
After doing some researches, I found out that those are some kind of microscopic crustaceans called Bioluminescent Ostracods, or just simply Sea Fireflies, and their glows are due to the luminescent chemicals produced.
The 3rd day
Not many photos to take about, as we're leaving Redang Island.
It's an awesome trip, wonderful beach and gorgeous bikini babes... Opps... Haha...
Even if it's so sunny and hot outside, you will spend your time playing and running around beneath the huge sun (ok, maybe just for the purpose of taking pictures).
It's a nice holiday for me and each of them as well and our expenditure was RM400 if I'm not mistaken.
