Pulau Redang, Terengganu
Consuming a bottle and a half of wine certainly helps us sleep better. Everyone ends up waking up later than even day #2. After a hurried breakfast and some last minute packing, Nato manages to check out within 1 hour of getting up from bed…
Being the last day of the trip, there is relatively less excitement now. After all, we sadly have to say our goodbyes to Pulau Redang… But there’s still time for a final round of pictures! As some Natorians take forever to choose their souvenirs at the souvenir shop (especially Aaron), the rest of the group are busy snapping pictures on the beach. A bright sunny day certainly makes our final day on Redang look like paradise. These pictures will be more valuable than any other souvenir on sale…
We soon catch the ferry ride back to the mainland where we have lunch at McD. Since our flight home only departs in 5 to 6 hours, there is plenty of time to take a walk around scenic Kuala Terengganu. Everywhere in the town is within walking distance, and before long, we have visited Vincci (the most modern store available), China town, and even the association of Mun Teng’s clan: the Hainan Association! :p However, after a day of walking, it is equally refreshing just to chill and chat at a seaside park with tree-shaded areas, cool fine grass and great landscaping. Quite a peaceful moment for all Natorians…
The time for our flight arrives and we are ferried by Redang Beach staff to the airport; it is newly refurbished and much more impressive than expected. However, we are reminded of Malaysian standards when repeated power failures, right within the airport itself, is experienced… Natorians sit down to some light dinner, as well as to finish off the remainder of the snacks. Also, to accompany the Pringles and Mr Potato, is the remaining half bottle of wine. Mixed with 100 Plus, it is a refreshing drink indeed. But for certain Natorians who only had potato chips for dinner, their faces start to change into a bright red colour… After a photo session in the toilet (for the ladies), we finally take off, and its bye bye Redang trip…
All in all, it has been a fun-filled trip with lots of memories to take home. It is safe to say that participants of the trip ended up enjoying the gorgeous scenery, getting nice sun tans, knowing each other better… But most importantly, Natorians have yet again showcased their ability to have fun!
Event-of-the-day:
Bak’s football fails to get past the final security check-point! Did he manage to get on the flight in time? Or was he left stranded in Kuala Terengganu? Haha… The football was stuffed into Yoon’s backpack and checked into the plane’s luggage hold. Everyone gets home just fine… J
