Ok. I lied. Yeah I did really miss him.. a lot.. but I flew there not just to VISIT him… haahhaa… going for a beach vacation @ Redang…WITH HIM!!

This trip was organized when we were just FRIENDS… hahaha.. it explains why there was supposed to be four of us… One pretty girl flew the kite! So, left the three of us..

Nevertheless, we still went on with our trip, which is a gift to Shinyee for her birthday, which falls on April 26th.
Off we went on Thursday night. We flew there with Firefly…one cute buggy style plane… They serve light snack and drinks too!!





While waiting for ping2, we were bored… obviously.. so that explains the following:

We played cards once we finish cleaning up and filling our tummy with delicious ikan bakar near our hotel. And then I realized… that either I was bad in response or I am plain dumb! Why?? LOOK AT MY FACE!!!!! It’s just few round of Snap!! I just don’t know why my brain just can’t match the number said and the number shown on the card!!! I always seemed so SLOW!!! It’s like my BRAIN can’t connect my EARS with my EYES! Damn!! Why?? Why??? And they treated me like a clown! They enjoyed all the time spotting my face with baby powder!! Sob sob!!










The next day, we had some real lousy breakfast at the hotel and after that ping2 went off to work. So we two ladies went on our way to discover Kuala Terengganu Town on our own. The town was basically a boring town with nothing much to do. So we decided to go to its latest attraction, Masjid Kristal. In our mind, we had a picture of a mosque, that’s all.














Never did we know, the place that the RM15 taxi trip took us is called Taman Tamadun Islam (The Waterfront Heritage City). It’s something like Window of the World in Shenzhen, except that it displays a collection of unique monuments of famous Islamic architecture from all Islamic world. The place is awesome! I didn’t expect so see such beautiful place there… I thought it was all just ‘kampung’.
They had this intereactive puzzle in a few of the miniature mosque and i found out that despite my lacking of coordination between eyes and ears, my EYES and HANDS fare pretty well! i can solve the puzzles magically fast! hahahhaha!! i AM good at SOME things!! yeah!








So we spent the whole day snapping pictures and waiting…. Waiting for the park to re-open as they close for Friday prayers…duh… Once we’re done enjoying the beauty of the park, we planned our return. Neither of us wanted to pay for the taxi again! So we thought we were so clever, and planned to take a bus.. (booklet says it costs RM2 per person). On our way out, BEHOLD! We saw a cute thing! The bus! It’s not like any other normal bus you see around town…

The attendant helped us ask the driver to wait for us… So nice of him that he waited for us to exit the park and even bought our nasi lemak and drink from the food voucher that we got when we purchased the ticket. Thank you Mr.Bus driver!

Frankly, we had no idea where the bus is taking us… we just hopped on cause we thought it was cheap. Then when we reach the destination.. somewhere in town… everyone just got down… we were wondering…where to pay??? So, being some kiasu people… we just hopped off the bus… pretending like we’ve paid! (Found out later from Haji that the bus rides were actually provided FREE OF CHARGE!!) Both of us finished the packet of nasi lemak at the park.. Picnic style… asked for directions and waited for the sun to set a bit.

Then off we walked ALL the way back to the hotel. We passed by the famous Bukit Puteri, Pasar Payang…and conquered the whole Jalan Kampung Cina (Chinatown). Shinyee dropped by a temple for a short prayer located just opposite the Redang Reef Resort management office. We showered and did some masks… got sunburned!! Night time went shopping for ping2’s clothes… he did not have enough… oh my poor darling! Found out that men’s department is not fun. Boring. All the same saja. No earings! No necklace! No sexy lingerie!

The next day, we got up late AS USUAL.. and we didn’t realized it. When I proceed to check out, shinyee and ping2 went and took breakfast. After gathering all edible food.. they realized that we’re running very late! I loved the look at ping2 eye when he realized he had NO time to eat the nasi lemak he just took!! Hahaha!!! Off we went to meet up with Uncle Chua. Instead of following the car, we had to fetch uncle and took the lead!

At the jetty, we made some friends… a group from Cameron. Girl: Lisa, Guys: Fei, Joy, Wong. I’ve got a formula how to remember their names ONLY…(doesn’t include matching the names to the face!)

Redang was beautiful…. The beach is awesome… The view is fantastic…

We made friends when we asked them to take a picture of us at the Marine Park. Then the next day we watched sunrise together. Loyce was an avid photography fan thus he was snapping around.. and snapped our picture. So we told him to email us the pictures. Then, I ‘sms’ed my email to his phone. He suddenly said… “The name sounds so familiar lah…” so I replied happily thought I met someone I knew and I have forgotten. “ Is it?? Where did u see my name??” (thought it would be in facebook or something good) He replied “oh… yesterday I saw someone wrote this name on the beach! It was like so big, all over the place!”. Instantly, I hid myself behind ping2 and blushed… well, I don’t need to answer him and everyone laughed at me!!!!!!!
Then that night, we were like strolling together along the beach and came across the outdoor beach party. Initially we were lying under the stars.. Watching the whole sky filled with diamonds! I thought I saw a shooting star though.. Then we ended up hanging around near the loud music… we were dancing by the beach… swinging here and there.. shinyee even gracefully landed on ground in style! Then tiba-tiba, ping2 and I excused ourself! Those fellow must be thinking we’re up to something naughty!!

How does it feel when u are at the beach, sitting by the table watching ppl dancing and…. Suddenly, a cake lighted with candle appeared in front of you! muaks! You got a kiss! Happy birthday! That was shinyee’s early surprise! Hahahaha!!
**More pictures to come...**
