MoRe MoRe TeA InN

It has been 10 years after i watched this movie and since then i have been wanting to visit Redang.. I FINALLY made it here... Its a birthday treat to myself too..

The movie: Summer's More More Tea

the male leads..

We took the 930pm bus on 1st July and we were the only ones on the bus!!.. at first i was a little worried as there was only 2 of us and 1 bus driver.. i cannot imagine him driving for 10 hours straight and not fall asleep.. he picked up another driver across the causeway so i felt a little more relieved.. Felt like a VIP man.. private bus and driver haha...

Leaving on the coach..

Empty Bus

The bus driver drove really fast and in 9.5 hours we were at Terengganu..

It was only 7am and shops were open already

We had to wait till 930am for the ferry to depart..

Found a small coffee shop down the street and settled down for coffee..

Still waiting for the ferry to move off..
Each resort had a dedicated jetty..

Finally it was time to board and move off!.. The ferry ride was another 1 hour!.. Its really quite a pain getting to Redang..

FINALLY!!!..

Still got briefing leh..

Short walk or tram ride to the resort..

I finally set foot on the beach!

More More Tea Inn! as featured in the movie

Laguna Redang, the resort we stayed in

That's another resort just beside Laguna

The stretch of beach in front of Laguna

This is where we had 2 breakfast lunch and dinner

All buffet style.. my lunch

his lunch..

We finally managed to check into the rooms after lunch.. the whole trip had alot of waiting involved..

The room is quite big.. there is a double bed and 2 day beds

The sea view from my room balcony..

beside my room was an even bigger room with a huge balcony..

We went snorkeling after that as our package included 3 snorkeling trips.. there are no pictures as i was afraid i would get the camera wet or it would get stolen.. but the main thing about Redang is the beautiful beach..

The sea looks so blue..

I could just spend the whole day there..

awwww...

There is a live band that plays till midnight there and there is even a KTV and disco... i did not get the chance to visit the ktv and disco though..

Enjoying the music..


There is actually nothing much to do there but eat snorkel and of course enjoy the beach!..

Eat
then snorkel after that again..

tanning..

we got bored after a while and decided to go for a dip

very clear waters.. definitely so much nicer than Sentosa!

Looks like we were in a pool

he was enjoying the water while i was busy stressed
trying not to let my camera drop into the water

the long stretch of beach

i so wanted to play but i could only watch them..
anyway i would be a midget among them

Rocks that can be seen so clearly above water

clear blue sea
This is the only photo of us that was not self taken..

it was 730pm and still bright!

of cos its self taken

sun setting.. our last night there

Dinner!..

It was the night of Argentina Vs Germany so we had to watch it! We parked ourselves at the lobby even before 830pm to chope a good seat.. Kiasu Singaporeans!

1.5 hour wait for the match to start

First row seats!

The day we left the sky was so overcast.

Goodbye Redang!

I love the place but the journey there and back was a little too long.. but I might be back again in Sept
