How odd it feels actually to have my 7 days vacation to come to an end. I won't be saddened by the fact but rejoice because I've enjoyed myself and bring back good memories out of it so that the next time I can ponder about it. Anyway, I will start off with the Lang Tengah Island Trip. For those of you who don't know where is Lang Tengah Island, it's actually part of the Marine Park Malaysia that is off the coast of Kuala Terrenganu. One hour speed boat ride, then you are there. Not far from the island itself is actually the famous Redang Island. We didn't stay at Redang but we managed to do snorkelling there.
Redang Lang Tengah Resort...
But unfortunately, I can't take any pictures under the sea as my camera is not waterproof, maybe the next time around then. Among the stuffs that you can see often when you do snorkelling at those snorkelling spots are, coral reef, different kinds of sea cucumber ( Our guides show us different sea cucumbers to compare, one of it really looks like a large sausage from Germany but it's not edible...haha), nemo, unknown fishes ( We managed to buy breads to attract those fishes closer to us. I managed to touch the some of the fishes, some of my friends even caught it and release it again. Eventually our hands stink as we touched them with bare hands...ewwhh, bau ikan ) etc.etc...
Unfortunately, starfish is like kinda rare there. One of the few things that one can actually do or rather enjoy there are
1) Beach Volleyball
I'm suck at playing games like that nowadays...duh
2) Sunbathing ( of course lah...if you want to get yourself tanned like the current me...my skin tone has changed...hehe )
3)Banana boat ( This is one of the thing that a lot of people refuse to take at the beginning, but after they saw the fun of it, a lot of people are taking it). Tell you ya, sitting on a banana boat with all guys are more fun and extreme I supposed as guys tend to ( sengaja ) make the boat overturned even it is unnecessary. Just to make the time of using the banana boat longer, more fun and to enjoy been drop from the boat. I should have shown you the video of those guys taking the banana boat, it's so hilarious especially when you can noticed someone behind the boat just drop himself down the boat whereas the others are still yelling Yuhhooo in front. That guy do it on purpose ( I guess he like the sea so much )
posing....
all about getting yourself to drink saltwater....
4) Snorkelling ( refer above ). Snorkelling is our main activity on our camp. Anyone can go snorkelling regardless of whether they know how to swim or vice versa. The second last day on the Island, our guides eventually told us that they notice a few baby sharks on the island and they decided to bring a few of us to catch a glimpse on the baby sharks. Baby sharks are easily scared off once if they notice a big group of people coming near to them or you make unpleasant water splashing noise. So we eventually go snorkelling on small groups of maximum 3 person, scattered but not far from each other to look at the sharks. But we are just out of luck, no sharks are noticed when we were there for almost an hour. Some claim to have seen just a glimpse of a shark. Bad Luck =(
wau...the water is so clear that you can see what's underneath
5) Jungle Trekking- You might think that this is another usual jungle trekking like me. But I was wrong, the jungle trekking there was like a journey to the different side of the world ( just the different side of the island lah...). The view on the other side of the island was spectacular. As I thought it was a normal jungle trekking, I begin to notice the different in the trees. The roots of the trees were not rooted underground but exposed
the roots are unique...not in the soil but in the air
Then I saw rocks instead of beach when we were almost there. I took lots of pictures. The view there were awesome that I began to marvelled at God's creation. Such a wonderful masterpiece. Praise God.
We even discovered mineral water source which we thought as sea water at the beginning. The water tastes sweet.
nice and yet soothing view, makes you feel relaxed
such a wonderful creation
sometimes it's good to act dumb by letting yourself splashed by the splashing seawater...it's exciting
6) Playing games. Some of the people here decided to play Mahjong until late night or watching the starry-starry sky till late night or perhaps wee hours of the day
mahjong anyone??
7) catching a glimpse of the blue sand. This thing, you can only see it during the night and can only catch it live. I don't have a photo of it, it needs skills to take the low resolution shot. I will show the photo of it here if I managed to get one
I managed to take few nice shot of pictures which is based on what imagine though...and it turns out well. Some turns out not really good, like for example, catching the photos on the blue sands which requires a good camera or perhaps a SLR camera can take the job...sigh
throwing stone or sightseeing??
calm riverside village
fishing boats...don't you like the view....
boat under the sun
me posing under the sunset...=P
P/s : Next post will be my trip to Penang....
Anyway, i'm back at my hometown now...Yay!!!
