Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu
It has been a long (and cold) journey, but everyone is ready for the next phase of the trip! Some 7-Eleven cup noodles and porridge is not a good way to start the day, but Redang Beach staff soon take us to town for a proper breakfast. Among the first to reach the jetty, Natorians invade the waiting room. Pictures are snapped, a ball is kicked around, naps are taken…
An hour’s boat ride takes us to the pristine and scenic island of Redang! Azure blue waters and sandy white beaches are a sight indeed. A majestic hotel looms into view, but it is not ours... A lower profile, but equally comfy chalet next to it is where we’re heading for. J Rooms are checked into, and the fun begins! Lunch is quickly followed by a tattooing session. Abigail, Bak and Qian are painfully pierced by the tattoo needles… Nah, they’re spray-ons! (which explains why Bak’s tattoo lasted for less than a day…)
Snorkelling is a blast! Everyone looks impressive in their snorkelling gear as life jackets and snorkelling masks are put on. The ladies of Nato had understandably applied litres of sun-block beforehand… :P A boat takes us out to the open sea, where we’re treated to the sight of clear blue waters, colourful fishes, natural corals, live sea cucumbers, and ‘Christmas trees’… Rain and Kien Giap are somehow (romantically) separated from the group, but later manage to rejoin us. J
The evening is a time for beach activities! Some beach football is played, but one by one, the noob guys of Nato are slowly kicked out of their own game (except for Yoon)… hehe… This turns out to be a good thing as the boys and girls of Nato proceed to have some awesome fun in the sea, and Seng Kheng is buried in sand and given sand-breasts…
Dinner marks the beginning of night, and music from the beach party soon blasts into the night. A day of travelling and snorkelling has however induced the Natorians to have peaceful beach walks and restful hammock naps instead. However, the real fun only began when vodka bottles were popped, and alcohol flowed… hehe...
Event-of-the-day:
‘Spin the bottle’ cum ‘truth or dare’ session, where remarkable truths are forced out of Aaron, Abigail, Bak, Kien Giap, Mun Teng, Rain and Yixuan. The writer, however, regrets to say that what was said in Redang, remains in Redang… hehehe…
