Starting from next Monday I'll be going to the last rotation in this semester : Psychiatry posting. I'm not looking forward to that though. But let's see. And perhaps we will talk about it later. (hopefully hehehe)
So, it had been a kinda hectic 4.5months without any break. *cries* And I told myself I deserved a break/getaway. Did not plan anything ahead until two weeks before this break. At first I wanted to visit Hong Kong again but the airfare was crazyyyyy obviously i can't afford ittttt because im not workinggggg. T^T I then decided to hang around in Malaysia. So I've got my yolo-est buddy K to go with me.
We were contemplating whether to go to Pulau Redang or Pulau Lang Tengah. K chose Lang Tengah and we booked a package at D'Coconut Resort through cuti.my.
The package we got : RM1007.00 for 3D2N, including 2 breakfast, 2 lunch, 2 dinner, 2 snorkeling trip and return boat transfer from jetty in Kuala Terengganu (this is the price for 2 pax). CHEAP OR NOTTTT. if it wasn't raya holidays it'll be cheaper. HELLOOOOO.
However the flight to Kuala Terengganu will cost us another RM500 each so err we drove up to Terengganu. because my parents are paranoia about highway busses. We left KL at 4.45am and arrived at the jetty around 3-4 hours later.
at Jeti Merang. boat transfer is at 10am. I was damn hungry but it the town was so quiet. Probably because it's still Ramadhan. oh well. STARVE LOH.
Oh yeah, they have a sheltered parking area. Need to pay of cz, RM45 for 2 nights.
And and and, not to forget we also need to pay RM5 per person for marine park fee.
We're here! (omg, wasn't expecting it to be soooooo piao liang)
Disclaimers : all the pics were taken with iPhone6/5s/Sony waterproof camera
***NO FILTER***
Checked in. Our room was at the East Wing. D'Coconut has east and west wings; both sides have restaurant, swimming pool, the beach is longer at the west wing. Oh, there's a bar too at west wing.
We settled down in our room at about 11.15am. Lunch was not served until 12.30pm so we decided to take a nap. We pretty much went into coma until 2pm. hahahhahah thank god i woke up for lunch.
Snorkelling tour was at 2.30pm so there we go! right after makan.
The package price does not include snorkelling equipments. Of course you can rent it from the resort, it's RM10.00 per item per day. We took only the goggles because i think our density are not so great.
To the deeper part of the sea
First dive spot. (meh we dont dive, some people did)
I asked the guide how do i tighten the goggles in malay, then he was like WTF YOU SPEAK BM? i'm like uhm yeah because we are malaysian? After that whenever he said things in mandarin i just smiled. (things like 'Be careful' and 'can or not') Then he was like, EHH DO YOU SPEAK MANDARIN TOO?
*rolled eyes* DUHH
but he's veli nice. he helped us take all the photos. HAHAHAH!! Thanks Raf!
photobombed by the fishes
The fishes bit me :(
Then photobombed by the bubbles Raf made
Some underwater view
Some camwhore session on the boat
and at the beach
Back at the beach at around 4.30pm
Then we went back to the room and comatose again until dinner time.
She made me wore a dress ahahahaha finally get to wear this dress i got from Bangkok after a year. lolol
Post dinner chill time at the beach with our own alcohol.
Had a bottle of somersby each followed by a few glasses of brandy under the sky. Such life.
Day 2 :
Well, there are only 2 resorts on this island. D'coconut and the SummerBay Resort. You can walk to one another's beach. At D'coconut, it's very chilled and not many people la (idk about summer bay) hahaha.
And again on this island, you've got nothing much to do. Eat-sleep-swim-snorkel/dive-eat-sleep-eat... you can watch TV at the public area. Their Astro i think they subscribed most of the channels (except AOD) hahahahhaha
So we went to the west wing on the second day to sunbath after breakfast.
You can swim to west wing. Or you can walk through a trek for about 7minutes.
The view at west wing
I got a model and my model got a photographer.
At the pool. The pool water was salty as well an I couldnt dive. I still float. hahahhahaha (so much fat content mehhh)
Every meal's view
Dont have body to show so my selfies are more of me wrapped up. hahahahhahahhaha
Snorkelling trip on that day was postponed to 4pm so yeah we got our alcohol earlier.
At a spot near SummerBay resort. School of fishes dancing all over.
one last bikini shot of both of us. I guess i have spammed enough. hahahhah
I hate my ribcageee omg.
Same agenda at night :
Chill at the beach with brandy. but we went to the west wing.
Just sat there and talk and drink. at around 10pm some guy was walking and shining torchlight towards us. So we told him oh we're from East wing. Then he said, "It's low tide now! You guys should go out there and see!"
So we did. He walked with us both + the other 4 from Taiwan.
That blue snake-like pattern you see? it's a clam!!
So the guy, he was from Nepal. He explained alot of things in Malay so i just okay maybe I should translate for the Taiwanese. As I spoke,
"EHH? ARE YOU CHINESE?"
*heart breaks. abuden what do i look like?
Day 3:
Breakfast, check out and chill until boat came and get us at 12pm.
This trip is so short but I'm glad I came. Thanks Karen for making this happen!
Note :
1. The food here was okay. What i like about it is that they 'recycle' the left over. Eg too much scrambled egg in the morning, they stir-fry with cabbage for lunch.
2. Staffs are really helpful and friendly :D
3. No phone connection. Wifi worse than Seremban. But don't bother, try to live without fast wifi la! hahahah
