Redang Island Escapade

I was never the one who loved the Beach, simply because of few reasons:

1) I don't enjoy bathing in Salty water, the taste is just too salty...
2) I don't know how to swim, all I can afford is to float (just for 20 seconds)
3) The hot sun which cause stubborn evil sunburns...
4) It's filled with hot looking gorgeous girls in super tiny bikini which makes me feel insecure about my not-so-hot body... XP

But since I never went to Redang and from what I heard that the water is so crystal clear, I just can't say no to the trip brought up from one of my colleges though I know that I'm gonna put my skin into a darker risk... Anyone who knows any tip to lighten skin after sunburn please do share your secrets with me!

Enjoy the photos from Redang peeps!

the water is so crystal clear right? See, I didn't lie! Go and catch a plane to Redang now! Like right now!

Getting ready for Snorkeling trip. If I could regret anything that time, I regret that I never had a waterproof camera or at least a waterproof casing along with me. The snorkeling experience in Redang was so magnificent, water is so clear, I can see alot of beautiful fishes freely swimming and corals lies below me. If I could have one wish at that moment, I would have wished to be a mermaid. I did imagine myself as a mermaid though, I can't swim, so I'm very thankful for the lifejacket floats that I'm wearing. (People who invented floats should go to heaven, don't you think so? lol)

It was so BLUE! It felt like almost heaven!

This is the famous More More Tea Inn, it was featured in a Hong Kong romantic comedy movie called 'SUMMER HOLIDAY starring Sammi Cheng and Ritchie Ren. How do I know this? Cause there's one dedicated channel in the hotel room which plays the movie again and again. I could tell you the whole story here but I bet you don't want me to...

  I love this picture the most. I always imagine there's a beautiful mermaid sitting above the featured rock there. :p

After Redang trip:

1) I still don't enjoy bathing in Salty water, since the water is so clear, I just imagine it's not salty
2) I still don't know how to swim, all I can afford is to float (more than 20 seconds, thanks to the floats)
3) I hate sunburns... Gimme back my lighter skin colour!
4) Hate those hot looking gorgeous girls in super duper tiny bikini with nice tanned skin! Life is so unfair! :p
5) Oh I fell in love with snorkeling. Considering to take diving lessons now... ~big grin~

Girls Day Out : Bandung

Me and the girls had always wanted to have a girl-only vacation, it's just one of those fetish where we feel like we need to have our blonde moments and imitate the Carrie & friends from the "Sex & the City".

So after looking at cheap air tickets (we are a bunch of cheapskates!), we booked a 5 days holiday to Bandung, plus non of us went there before so it should be a girls-day-out-on-a-unfamiliar-place. Sounds exciting right?



First day arrival, the girls said I've been checked out by the immigration officers and local people, and they started calling me, "Hot Indo Chick" cause according to them I can stop the traffic should I wanna cross the road. LOL! We arrived at night, exhausted and excited with the hotel room which apparently has a see-through shower. Of course no one would dare to use it without the pulling the bind down.



Since we hired a driver to take us around, he brought us to famous shopping places around Bandung. Bandung is famous for shopping, so pardon us for being girls, we certainly CANNOT, I repeat, CANNOT resist SHOPPING! Bandung is the land of branded factory outlets, there's alot of branded outlets here which you can't find in Malaysia. The handbags imitations are also like 95% looks like real and cost only 10% of the original price! That's where I fell in love with the Gucci bag, I didn't bought it though just because I'm not much of a handbag person but darn I regret for not buying it now. Famous outlets that you-must-go-if-you-are-in-Bandung --> Rumah Mode, Toko Tiga, lots more cannot remember the name, but there a whole stretch of them along the road, you can just ask the taxi drop you down on that road and go shopping for the whole day.













Next day, we went for sightseeing in Bandung where we were surprised by the overwhelmed tourist guides who kept on following us along the climb to the dormant volcano called Queen Crater of Tangkuban Perahu Mountain. Luckily I didn't wear heels like the others, it was definitely a long walk to the crater but it's one of the place of nature that you must visit. And make sure you ask the locals to tell you the legend of the Tangkuban Perahu itself, it's interesting!










The few days retreat to Bandung was worth it for shopaholics.

 

Oh not to forget that we watched the FIFA 2010 final in the hotel lobby where my favourite delicious Spanish footballers won the match of the year!

 

 

 Made our way back to hometown safely. Wanna go again? You betcha!



Oh don't forget to try the Avocado Juice and Ayam Penyet there! They are yum-yum!
