After we got back from Marine Park to Pasir Panjang, the guide told me that another guide saw sea turtles while snorkeling off-shore at the beach near our resort! So although we have a third snorkeling trip (first was on first day, second to Marine Park), i decided not to go (sorry Cow) so i would be "healthy" enough when they come back, to go see sea turtles (since i already puked while at Marine Park).

We then went for lunch at the "food-hall".

My verdict for the food provided at Redang Beach, it's not fantastic, but it was good!
But ooh, i especially love the chicken for lunch on the second day!

Its on the plate on the left! YUMMY-NESS!

And took some pics!

Then, since Amanda will be going for the third snorkeling trip, we got back to the room so she could get ready. After that, while waiting for the announcement and everyone else, we walked around for some pics!
Beautiful weather!

BUT EXTREMELY SUNNY!

I can't even keep my eyes open!

Much better!

I'm such "in-one" with the background. I love this picture a lot! Look at the colours!~

Shades are cool yo!

Hello!

Reflections (Amanda has another similar one, but her version instead)!


Well, since i'm not going (snorkeling), Amanda will be going alone. Being The Bimbotic Kid she is, she emos (Ok fine, its not really related, but whatever).





We agreed to meet back here about an hour plus later when she comes back!
Hahaha, like parents picking up the kid to go home XD!

After the Cow left, Jing and i went to have some Ice-Kacang later!

After which... i decided to go sunbath... at 3pm.

Which was a NASTY decision, because i got a mild heat-stroke, but not tanned AT ALL!
Due to snorkeling, the tone on my shoulder is uneven, so i thought i wanted to even it out that time. Too bad that time is only HOT, but not "tanning-time" (which is either morning sun or evening sun). I didn't know about it till i got back to the room (after getting heat-stroke) and remembered that fact (= =")...
But i still enjoyed it, because got eye-candy XD!

There i was lying on the beach-chair playing with my camera when he walked past, and i just automatically click the shutter like its the most natural thing to do. I like the outcome of the pic, very nice! Plus his white shirt! If it was of another colour, i'm sure the outcome won't be as nice as this.
His rather cute too XD! Oops, so stalker-ish!

Jing Wen is being a darling again, because it was freaking hot and sunny. She doesn't want to get tanned AT ALL, but nonetheless she still accompanied me (though it was actually wasting time nya, since that time is not "tanning time". Darns.).

But how does she accompany someone who wants to get tanned, but without getting tanned herself?

She used up the towels to cover herself from head to toe! And under the hot sun!!
Is she a darling or what? She's a star!

As for me?

Freaking hot! Almost become roast Monkey.
I initially wanted to post my sunbathing pics, but decided against it =P!

But nevertheless, the view was beautiful.

A lot of people went for snorkeling trips that time, so there was no interference of other meats around the beach. Ah, paradise!

After that, we visited More More Tea Inn again!

I swear i'm obsessed with that house like how i'm obsessed with the movie like how i'm obsessed with the island.
Ok, enough obsessing.



An explanation about the house.
If you watch back Summer Holiday, and if you go to Redang before, you can see that the place the "movie-house-set" was on before, is now exactly where Laguna Resort is currently!
It's really cool that Laguna actually rebuild this house exactly as it was in the movie! Even if it isn't on the exact spot, the movie has created such a "landmark" on Redang, that it would be a pity if this house was torn down and not rebuild! A must visit spot if you visit Redang!
But a bit ironic how in the movie the leads didn't want to sell the beach to corporations so they cannot build resorts on it, but in the end a resort was build at that exact spot XD!

After More More Tea Inn, we went back to Redang Beach's snorkeling center to wait for the Cow's arrival from the sea.
We were hanging around at the hammocks. When we realize they are coming back, so we pretended to sleep. However, that Cow took like so bloody long to return (she was the last in the group - went to change batteries for the underwater camera)... but at least we still get to scare her (whether or not she was scared doesn't matter)!

According to her, since she was alone on that snorkeling trip, almost everyone asked her "where is your friend"!!
It seemed the two of us made quite an impression on everyone else ne?
... can't blame them. You mix one Kid on Crack and one Bimbotic Kid... the first one with the tendency to scream when she's excited... the other the sexy Cow... ooh!~

Anyways, she was dead tired when she got back! The snorkeling guide took her like, so far away from the boat, she almost died swimming there and back XD! But she saw loads of cool stuff!

Then, come 5pm, we went off-shore snorkeling (despite being dead tired, she still came along!)!

Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any sea turtles unfortunately, but we did get to see this HUGE BLACK-TIP SHARK!
BUT I STILL WANT MY SEA TURTLE!
Too bad lar, no luck.
But the guide dived down to take some pictures of Nemo for me! And there was also another Garoupa there, but i think the one at Marine Park's bigger!

And then halfway i got seasick, faster head back to shore... but fail while swimming halfway... and puked in the ocean again (= =")...

Snorkel 6 times, puke 3 times. This must be a record or something.
But i'm so going to snorkel again no matter what, even if i puke i guts out... if sea turtles are guaranteed that is =P!

Amanda was too tired from the snorkeling trip before, she too head back quickly and both of us just sat facing the ocean, where the wave can still splash at us, waiting for the snorkeling guide to come back. He took our camera so he can take more pics for me =D!

The one sitting there, half-dead, is the Cow. There are a lot of people playing in the sea too (some topless). Thus, meats galore.

After a while, the guide came back (from the sea) and left us there to rest (one seasick, one too tired). We rested, then we remembered to do something! We actually planned to do this before coming to Redang, but upon arriving the beauty of the place made us forgot about it!
Writings on the sand XD!

Thought i forgot my boys is it?
Although i didn't mention them at all in the previous Redang-trip posts, but rest assured, every minute i was there i miss them to bits. I wish they were here with me to see how beautiful this place is. How much i love it! To see somewhere where i love so much!! Share the love XD!


영원희. It means "forever" in Korean, it also carries a very meaningful meaning within it for me (^^ )!

And never forgetting...

ONLY13.

The funniest part was, Amanda drew a huge love with her and her boyfriend's name in it. While she was seeing what i was doing, some weird people actually go to her love, sat INSIDE her love, and start taking pics of themselves in it.

For one, it's a love symbolizing Amanda's relationship.
For another... why can't you draw your own heart (to take picture in)? Furthermore, isn't it weird to take pics inside someone else's relationship heart?

After that, Amanda left first to go rest, while i went to return the camera.

No, its just fog between the camera and the underwater casing. Nothing supernatural! Lols!
Another funny thing to note: when i went to return the camera, the guy checked our pictures to see if the camera is functioning properly. He saw Amanda's pics, and erm, actually asked me if she has a boyfriend. He also asked her ethnicity, my name and my ethnicity too anyways. Trying to be friendly i guess?
(Please read The Bimbotic Kid's introduction)

When i got back, i bathed and sat at the bed eating snacks with Jing Wen with my hair still wet. When Amanda came out after she bath, i guess she can't stand my hair being wet (and fear i would get sick as well =D?) so she kindly help me dry my hair!

Thanks sayang! And mind, she did such a good job, my hair is so bloody beautiful that whole night XD!

Oh yeah, notice how red my sunburn was?
Well, when i "sunbath" at 3pm (more like trying to roast myself), its not a "tanning" time. But when i snorkel at 5pm... it's the "tanning" period. Thus...
Amanda got damn bloody tanned and dark as well.
I don't mind getting dark or tanned. What i can't stand is the uneven tanning on my skin! I wouldn't know how long i would need to get fairer, and how if those "stripes", thanks to my swimming costume, stays there forever? (there's a word for those "stripes", but i forgot)

In times like this i wish i'm a guy, just go topless and everything would be fine. Grrr!

Anyways, there was supposed to be a beach party at 9pm! So we were getting ready in our room before we head for dinner and the party.

There's so little Piggy pictures because the Cow and the Monkey hog everything! Any chances to post, just post!

Though, while we were on our way to dinner... it rained... of the cats and dogs variety. It continued to rain even after we finish our dinner, so we were stuck there.

There was nothing better to do than taking pictures, as resort staffs used huge umbrellas to transport people from the makan-place back to their room. We were waiting for our turn.

The rain also means that... the beach party is canceled (ㅠ.ㅠ)... and we had (sorta) dressed up for it! Especially my Cow! Darns!

After loads of people left, finally it's our turn, but instead, we headed to the lobby to do some last minute shopping at their souvenir shop and minimart.
We were shopping, when i had finished and start taking pictures of myself, when i noticed my hair damn nice (iloveyouCow). Lols!



My smile is like so forced, lols!

We finished up everything, went to get another "tattoo" (but it isn't very nice, so i didn't bother to take pics), and then back to our room to rest for the night.

It's a bit pity it rained on our last night, otherwise i could imagine we could have much more fun!
Oh well, maybe next time (^^ )!~


Last entry next - Bye bye Redang (ㅠ.ㅠ)...
