Redang Island 2010

I just got back from a short trip to Redang. The last time I went there was in 2008(did a post on it HERE. I must say it didn't change much (which is a good thing).

Departed Penang at 9pm and arrived at Kuala Terengganu at 5am. Hung around at the bus station before the travel office opened at 7am.



Got to see the floating mosque again

Took a speedboat at Merang Jetty. It takes about 45 minutes to reach Redang Island

Welcome to Redang Island!



Where we stayed

Laguna beach resort at night

Had a fun time playing carrom

Unwanted visitor! Thank God I didn't find any at the room!

Air-brushed tattoo is a must have!

Dusk

The World Cup Finals were going to be played the night we were going to depart from our holiday. So ofcourse I had to write something on the sand:


I was so sure I was going to miss the Finals, as it was going to take about 6hrs drive from Kelantan (we went there from Terengganu after leaving the island in the morning). Our bus driver was super and he reached us back to Penang in 4.5hrs!! I was so thankful I managed to catch Spain's winning goal and them lifting the trophy!!! =D

Redang Island looks like a wonderful place just to get away from it all. Happy for you that Spain won, not happy as I was supporting Netherlands since South Africa was kicked out early on.

Hello Mariposa! What a nice trip I'm doing through your post! All very beautiful pictures, I like so much the Laguna beach resort at night. As regards the unwanted visitor, it's better not to have it in the bed room! ;-)
Happy Tuesday!

Ever wondered what music sports people and celebrities listen to? I was watching the Olympics swimming competition and the swimmers were walking to the pool. Suddenly I see Michael Phelps walking out with earphones.. I wonder what he's listening to? So here are a few pics of sports people/celebs and what I think they're listening to. All the pics aren't mine, I took 'em off the net, so credit goes to whoever that took the pics k?

Day of Desserts! Went to celebrate a friend's birthday at Swensen's . Tried their Sizzling Pan - Walnut Rocky Road - Choc pie with choc ice cream with butterscotch & marshmallows topped with walnuts and choc chips in a sizzling pan.. absolutely sinful. ♥ Then we had Choc fondue..but it wasn't that fantastic (for me) as it was dark chocolate..prefer the hazelnut choc one! Cheers to you JM! Lots of Hugs and Kissies!

Come Read with me - November

I read a couple of books - both belonging to my 11-year old cousin! I was really anticipating for Book 2 of Heroes of Olympus to come out (spin-off from Percy Jackson Series) and the wait was worth it. This time the story revolves around Percy - who is a Greek demi-god who gets switched into the Roman Camp by Juno/Hera. He has to work with the Roman Demi-Gods (kids who has 1 parent whose a Roman God/dess) on a quest to release Death and save all of them from being destroyed. Riordan still writes with the same flair that keeps your glued and wanting to know more. I enjoyed this read - only part is that *spoiler alert!*             it's somewhat a cliffhanger! The second book - I didn't really fancy - perhaps I'm too old to appreciate it. It was written by a 13-yr old French Novelist. I wonder if the beauty of the story has gotten lost with the translation. It's a story of 3 girls on a quest to save Fairytale. Oddly, Death is on strike here and t...
