Finally after 2 years ++ of waiting.. i finally can go REDANG~~~ haha...
It looks like most people are heading there at this time of the year, especially this few weeks... i have seen group of people from forums going there in batches~~~ hope wil have fun after all the wait...

Update after trip

Left Wangsa Maju @ 10.30pm with a full bus load on sunday, 17 May 2009. then headed towards Karak and towards kuantan... Stopped at a rest area around 1am near to Kuantan... since it was dark so i just slept alot in the bus wit waking up once in a while... Reach Merang around 8.30am to wait for the boat to island @ 10am after stopping for breakfast around 5am somewhere in K.T town center... on the way, the view was just very beautiful sky with calm sea... The resort considered nice, but might b very nice if u haven't seen Redang... Check in around noon, put our things and went for lunch.. There is free flow of juice, biscuit, bread from 7-7.. After eating til full full, v prepared for our first sea trip, snorkelling . It was around the island of Lang Tengah... 2 snorkelling spots with nice view of the corals & fishes. the trip was bout 2 hours... O ya~~ the water is super salty... After the trip, it was back to the resort, and F&E... Of course it was Tea time, as all was hungry from the outdoor under the sun swim.... without any rest, v dash to the seaside to explore.. Feeding fishes, catching sea cucumber, of course playing wit it.. After being there for quite some time... I went further down the beach wit my camera with another group of ppl whom I met there.. We did some photo shooting at various spots of rocks.. snap til the sun rested for the day... without washing up, I went for dinner, as the food was sending a good smell, calling me to eat first...Dinner was BBQ with friend rice, vegetable & fruits.. Makan til full, head for the beach for the cooling wind, under the blanket of stars shining upon me... As v didn't plan much things 4 the night, my group headed for our beds to regenerate energy for the next full day pack with activities. END of day 1

Day 2
The morning started with another snorkelling trip, but this time away from Lang Tengah, at the Redang Marine Park... It was pack with people from all the surrounding resorts tat all the fishes was so full, and lazy to entertain us by swimming around our bodies when there was food for them. the corals at the marine Park was just so huge and beautiful... there was some little wave current coming in, so v was advise not to go too far out... One of the guide pulled us with our hands holding the float to tour the area.. He knew where there is nice things nt to be missed.. There I met some1 from Segamat, currently working in singapore tat have been going there few times a year since 2003.. Around noon, and most of the earlier crowd has left, we also headed back to Lang Tengah for our lunch... After the sumptuous lunch and a little break, we left for our chartered boat trip to the island of Redang.. it was chartered because it was nt included in our initial itinerary, we was planned to go jungle tracking... This extra trip started with another snorkelling at a spot around Pulau Redang.. after the swim of 30~45minutes it was a sightseeing trip around the island, where we saw other resorts including Berjaya Redang, before the boat docked infront of Redang Pelangi Resort...getting off the boat and setting foot on the famous island tat I have been wanting to go for the past years.. The white sandy beach was soft, clean and nice to walk on, especially bare foot... While scrolling down the seaside, of course there was the gentle wind & beach babes.. Yes yes.. Manyak bikini babes... Haha... After snapping many photo's along the seaside, v quickly went to the More More Tea gift shop tat we wanted to visit.. It is the site tat they did a filming there.. After buying some gifts, v snapped more photo's outside the shop. After tat it was dash bc 2 the boat as it has pass the time tat v r suppose to meet.. After leaving Redang it was another ride on the front of the boat bc 2 the island... (another, coz we always like to sit at the front of the boat to enjoy the view forward looking...) Sunshine & photo's... After bc 2 the resort, v went straight for the bananaboat... It was just amazing ride.. V ended up playing 4 half hour instead of the 15minutes per trip... First round, all drop, second time, all drop, the third time, only the last person fell, and the last time, the last 3 person dropped into the sea... Those at the end of the bananaboat has a higher chance of falling into the sea.. After the bananaboat, it was shower and dinner... After the dinner, v went bc 2 the beach to see stars, played cards, sing K, chit-chat the night away, and headed to bed at 2.30am... END of day 2

Day 3- leaving
Morning woke up around 7, breakfast and check out... Some more photo's, and left the island back to Merang where v boarded the bus back to KL.. It was a amazing fun filled trip.. The sky was nice, ppl was friendly, environment very smoothing.. No headache, no worries, no stress.. Just pure enjoyment and relaxation...
