there was also a pool table
which sucked big time.
but it kept us entertained anyway.
fong

while she tried to learn
some ppl chose to show off their skills.
like him

and her

and they were not bad at all. it was the table.
there was also a karaoke and our fren decided to show off his talents...
steffen

he made us laugh all the way, coz he tried to sing a chinese song, but didnt know the words, and worse still, didnt know how to read them.
siang li read every word to him. =D
while myself...
took this pic

see the reflection of the moon on the sea water?
then in the middle of the night,
we play cards

again.
or sometimes, make calls to loved ones.
like her

damn hiao.

it was time to pack up...
and go home.

but before that,

pulau redang

our ride

finally leaving the station

us

see our happy smiles? we were not happy at all.
on the way back, we spotted this.
a very VERY strange kinda bus

IT IS a bus! note the wipers.
and thats it.
some scenery pics for u to admire.
the eco friendly jetty

it was not there last year and its really environmentally friendly because it was not built on stilts whatsoever, so it floats up when its high tide.
from the canteen


from the hilltop





think they're beautiful?
wait till u see it with your own eyes.
thank god for such beautiful beaches in malaysia.
when i retire, i will buy a house in redang, or anywhere with white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters.
not only will i be there with my husband who will hold my hand till its all old and wrinkled, i will also bring my best buddies along so we can all grow old together!!
can u imagine waking up to this everyday?

or this

or this

or even this

our friend tried to swim in the sand.
it was so soft he couldnt differentiate which was sea or sand.
life would be so perfect.veekin and pik wah were supposed to go, and there were supposed to be 12 of us. after we gave our deposits and all, then veekin got his exam timetable, and his final paper fell on the 22nd.
it was an unfortunate event, because he was also looking forward to it.
after that, i decided not to go too, but because veekin and my besties kept persuading me, i finally decided to go. partly also because trip was planned and arranged by me.
and due to a series of unfortunate events, in the end, pik wah decided not to go too.
some random pics contributed by jimmy and john

the irritating thing which flooded our toilet the first night.

the cute lil hermit crab which reminded me of fern's babies.

cute turtles which hatched just before we arrived. so tiny. so cute.
and some plants



anyway, i just felt like putting up some pics from
last year's trip.
on the way to the island

all bright and sunny on the upper deck.
unhappy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
food, food, and more food.one fine day, i was craving for spaghetti carbonara. and we went to...
italiannies

the free bread

olive oil with 7 herbs


spot them.
and the vinegar

the bread is meant to be eaten dipped in the special sauce, or so u call it.
classic carbonara

fettucine pasta tossed in light parmesan cream sauce with smoked beef bacon and fresh button mushrooms.
raisin bread pudding

huge portion of warm raisin bread pudding with custard.
served with drizzling anglaise sauce.
super duper yummy (sing along to paddle pop tune)!!

yuen steamboat
the everyday crowd

it forever crowded. i wonder why. isit cursed like the kajang satay?
the infamous chicken wing

people would line up and wait by the table before the chicken comes out.
and when it does, the people would finish grabbing all before the time reaches 1 minute.
i wonder... if it was money?
our steamboat

all done

we ate really fast. and really clean. it was worth our 21 bucks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the apartment
i only went there once.
NO, i never went there before.
and so veekin and i decided to go there one day.
we only went to have dessert coz we had a heavy breakfast.
strawberry mint parfait

perfectly layered parfait of fresh strawberries,
finger sponge and minted cream.
peach kiwi parfait

another take with parfait,
this time with peach and kiwifruit
layered with sponge fingers and vanilla cream.
me

getting comfy @ the apartment.

sri melaka
ais kacang

and my sago gula melaka

i only remember sri melaka for their infamous desserts.
i have been eating this sago thing since my secondary skool days.
i remember frequenting the place with chek lee.
fortunate to say, the sago still tastes the same as before.
i mean like, how wrong can sago, santan, and gula melaka go rite?
