Then... WE ARE HERE!
We have to transfer from the main boat, to another "smaller" boat which will send us straight to the beach for a beach-arrival! Cool nya?

We're finally on the island! Yeah!
3 years... 3 long years... i'm here!! *kisses the sand*

Ehem... so we got to our resort, Redang Beach's lobby to be briefed. We have to wait for awhile before our rooms are ready, so we hang out around the resorts area while waiting (do you realize we waited a bloody lot?)!
But anyways, i was too happy to be able to contain my excitement, i practically pranced around the whole place like i own it XD!



The view of the beach from the lobby! EAST SEA YO!

BIMBO AND POSER SPOTTED!

We went to have some "small-snack" nearby while waiting. I had lo mai kai, very yummy! Er... the picture... is in my stomach?
Here's some bimbo's pic as offering for forgetting to take pictures of food =P!

Well, i guess that time we are a little tired as well (especially me), although still very excited, that i didn't take much picture then, and i kept digging my feet into the soft sand while eating! I LOVE THAT COOL SANDY FEELING!

This is our room:
E24!

Well, we did take a few shots of us at our room's balcony, but i decided to keep it private for now =D!

We rested for awhile, and then proceeded to rent our snorkeling gear. We also got some advice from the lobby on where is best to snorkel off-shore, and finally decided to go snorkeling off Shark Bay!
Thats where i realize i actually can get seasick... but still ok nya lar, not so bad. We also tried teaching Jing Wen to snorkel at that time.

I was a bit disappointed because i anticipated snorkeling most... but too bad i'm seasick prone (but strangely, not on boat, but rather while snorkeling)... i wanted to see sea turtles so badly...

Anyways, come 2.30pm, it's time to snorkel!
We went somewhere quite near Pasir Panjang (where our resort is) to snorkel, somewhere south-bound for 5 minutes or so? And then er... while snorkeling for awhile i realize my seasick came back while i was floating around as the waves kept hitting me... so i quickly swim back to the boat, but still... er, puked upon getting back on boat... so then, i rested in the boat till we get back to the resort.

Fail.
So bloody freaking fail.

But still ok lar, after getting back to the resort i rested, then when i felt better again i abit gatal, that i insisted we get back to Shark Bay to snorkel, despite the fact i *know* the seasick will come back... but so what! The sea is far more important than small trivial matter such as puking!

And i saw BABY SHARK!! YEAH XD!!! So excited!! I puke again also worth-it!!!
Though that said, i went back up shore upon the slightest feeling of nausea, just-in-case!

After we're done snorkeling, we went back to our room to bath, then we went for dinner! It was BBQ dinner!
I love the fishballs! Yum!


Lols, it'll actually be so punny if we're BBQ-ing beef! Too bad, we're BBQ-ing mutton instead =P!

I was stuffed after dinner!! And the night was still too early to sleep, so we went over to Laguna's side to visit More-More Tea Inn!


Lols, introducing: "Ah Cow, Ah Monkey and Ah Pig."
*que sings Richie Ren, Michael Wong and Ah Niu's 浪花一朵"...*

Then we went to look for the blue sand!! We're lucky we manage to find it!!! YEAH!!!~

This is the famous blue sand!
Its so beautiful seriously, like blink blue lights on the sand!

It goes to show that, sometimes things doesn't need to last long just to be beautiful.


We didn't want to sleep just yet, so we went to play around at the hammock while listening to the live band.

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as Monkey on hammock. Hmm.

I actually have this recorded video of the live band singing the famous Redang song, 浪花一朵朵, with me singing along to it at the top of my lungs! Lols!

After we're done, we got back to the room to be retarded further, before retiring to bed for a long day tomorrow!
