BEWARE! Photo Galore...
2 fantastic weekends back-to-back.
I'm energized, rejevenated but yet I never get enough & I want more!
First up will be the pics from my Kukup trip with the girls. It was a totally relaxing trip, spending most of the time lazing around. We were fed with great food, having 4 meals a day. Seafood, BBQ wings, Satay, Sweet Potato, Keropoks, Otahs, Crystal Jellies... And we had Ice Kacang, cheap snacks-potato chips. yum yum... Sinful but great!
But of course we did move our arses out of the bungalow. We trekked in the mangrove swamps, have fun time trying to spot so many different types of crabs, crossed a suspension bridge which can only carry max up to 3 pple at one time, and also singing some NPCC cheers along the way (just like back in ATC days).
Then we were at a Kelong. Introduced to several types of fishes. One of which is called Archer Fish. We just kept feeding them with lots of Ikan Bilis. haha. And HM actually terrorized a baby shark! haha.
But the highlight of the whole trip was the FIREWORKS! We spent RM200 to buy different kinds of fireworks and we released them near mid-night at the balcony of our bungalow. So surreal and romantic! Fantastic views of the firework, infact it was too upclose we scrambled away in fear. haha. Coz we bought this firework that once we lit up the fuse, would spark off 49 shots at one go, just like what we see during the National Day Parade - only much lower. Our very own fireworks!
Now for the pictures...
The Scenery...

----------------------------------------------------------------
Now on to Redang. Was there with some of the Mkt guys and girls. Together 6 of us were there for 4 Nights and 3 Days. but actually it's just 1 1/2 days at the beach coz the other 2 1/2 days were spent travelling. One way's 12 hours bus ride plus 1 hr ferry ride. And all this excludes waiting time. oh gosh... Luckily it's all the worth the journey there and back!!
It's not the 1st time I'm going to a beach resort but it was actually my 1st try at Snorkeling. It's a love-hate relationship. On one side, I really wanna try but on the other side, you guys should know that I'm afraid of all other creatures that move. haha. Nonethless, I tried! Been there, done that! And to MISS LYCHEE who actually msg-ed the guys for the special request, you better watch out!
On with the pictures...
Real breath-taking sceneries. Totally agree that the sights of the sea and the sounds of the waves just makes you forget all the unhappiness you have...
At the start of the bus journey, b4 Dan seriously KO-ed. haha
33 and I after the long long long bus ride to Trengganu, this pic's taken at Merang Jetty while waiting for the ferry to fetch us to Laguna.

Jamie and I hurriedly took this pic b4 the sky turned completely dark. and it was just b4 our 1st meal after 24 hours. Oh, we skipped lunch to snorkel. haha.
My 1st try on a hammock. happy...
We spent the 1st night exploring the long stretch of Beach. here's the group at Redang Bay, a slight distance from Laguna (where we stayed)
When girls become men. haha...

Recall this big flower heart? It's the "Flower Ring" placed in the sea in the 1st scene of the movie. It really looked quite nice.
The guys. Taken while relaxing at the beach bar after a fruitless attempt to find the blue sand during the 1st night. But fortunately, we managed to see 2 grains during the 2nd night. Such precious 2 grains. haha. thanks to Dan who had super good luck that night. *winkz*
Group pic taken in front of the More More Tea Inn. It's the shop they filmed for the movie "Xia Ri Mo Mo Cha" but Jamie said they had it renovated so it's not similar to the one in the movie.
Our balcony. Room with a deluxe pool view... A luxury to have. Probably even a better special luxury for the guys. haha. wonder how many bikini babes they had spotted at the balcony. hehe.
On the way to the beach for a relaxing afternoon.
The girls...

Let me end of the post with a pic I took at during the Sunrise. Too bad we didn't get to see the sun rising from the horizon. But it's okie coz there's always a next time coz Jamie managed to wake up! So my threat worked! haha.
Thanks the Girls and the Mkt for the totally enjoyable company. No regrets at all even though the 2 trips had burnt a hole in my pocket. I'm always ready for the next trip! But just gimme a while to recuperate my loss 1st, k? wahahaha... But till then, BACK TO WORK TMR! *sobz*
