Mood still swinging in the deep blue ocean,indulging myself under the open sky,breathtaking seaview,the perfect sunrise,beautiful sunset,yummy meals and many many more..



Just got back last night from my vacation at redang with jiayong & his friends.argrh! a freaking 8 hours of car journey seriously wasn't a joke,most of the time i spent whole night opening & closing eye lids.

It was a beautiful,calm and serene morning at Kuala Terengganu Jetty,our first destination-the place where we were heading to Redang by ferry.

Well,it was my very first time traveling without guidance of parents yet i managed take good care of myself and back home safely,god bless*:)To sum it up,the trip was a real blast!and i love snorkeling lots though i don't know how to swim at all!*roll eyes. I only can say that i was so lucky to have dear being by my side all the time,he was the one held my hand tightly & lead me. I'd remember the most scary part during our 3rd snorkeling was somewhere around the middle of the sea where we were snorkeling,the seawater current sddnly become strong.At that time,we can hear the whistle sound from our snorkeling facilitators(asking us to swim back to boat) A wave of panic swept over me as we're still on the SAME spot no matter how hard jiayong swam.LOL i really felt like i was jiayong's big burden at that moment,i couldn't help but praying hard in heart,hoping god or someone around could receive my SOS message... And finally,the snorkel facilitator came to our rescue!! To our dismay ,we then changed to another snorkeling site where we can only explore sea christmas tree- something interesting but not Nemo fish i adores.I only got to see the purple Dolly..'sad look'

I just simply fell in love with snorkeling,when the first time i immersed my head into the omg so crystal clear seawater,i couldn't believe that such a heavenly view was just in front of eyes.Though it takes me some time to get used breathing through snorkel tube but after the initial awkwardness,it was really fun and i'm not that sea-phobia anymore.worth to try it though idk how many times i swallowed damn salty seawater.grr..
Hmm..my 1st snorkeling trip doesn't go smooth as well cos it was really my first time ever being floating on deep depth seawater,what i could remember was imma kept struggling & pushing jiayong into the sea till he had to calm me down.=p The 2nd snorkeling trip was my favourite-the marine park where seawater is not-so-deep.The marine park was loaded with fishes,hungry fishes i may say as when the fishes see human,they see food instead! And they will eventually swim to you & start attacking your hand for bread,eat and chow~ that's all!Sometime they bite too,does human really looks like food to em? Kay, full-stop for those hungry fishes.The whole snorkeling trip was awesome,the only downside was i didn't get to capture everything under/on surface the seawater!How badly i wish i own a waterproof camera or even a cheap cheap aquaprix lomo-lomo will do.

Since no picture do the talking part,i shall describe some teeny-weeny bits of snorkeling experience here.Before snorkeling,the snorkel facilitator briefed us on what-to-explore at there & told us the dos and don'ts .The first place we headed off was what he recommended,the place where we can see moray eel and giant gourupa.But i ended up seeing those alien-looking sea creatures swimming around me instead.==''

pic talking:the left one,there's a silly guy who looks more like an octopus,some said he looks like an owl though.the right one,that's me!

Technically,we only had one and a half day for our own time beside snorkeling,most of the while i soaked both legs into powdery white sand(i collected some in small bottles as souvenirs ),take off flip-flops & had romantic sunset beach walk with jiayong,playing childish chasing game,we both were dramatic enough to follow those scenes on movie.=P

time to get my mind off from everything.stressless moment!




hey there we are..


Enjoy to see the view when twilight slowly merges into darkness.

More-more tea Inn,place where sammi cheong and richie ren casting their movie.I actually got one gal friend,she seriously look alike Richie!ducky knew that.

On the second night,steven told us about the blue sand thingy which the sand on beach will turn into blue light when we touch or step on it,how amazing it is ..i'd remember he handling over a blue tiny dot & showing us he got "bluetooth'on his palm.LOL.At night in the dark,the sand glows blue in contrast with twinkle-twinkle little stars scattering dark skies and not forgotten the half shaped moon shone so brightly that night,too bad we can't capture it as camera flash will spoil it.Watching blue sand,again was my first time ever.Unique sial.

and when you're having so much fun with your loved one & the great company,time really past fast!! in blink of eye,3 days was up and it was time for all of us to get back to normal life.Back to sound-polluted urban,jiayong back to his accumulated assignments,me?back to the same perpetual working routine.somemore i'm gonna be member of the jobless society,no job no job by end of this month !!Next plan-going to get driving license this time,for real.

Us with another sweet couple ;)

p/s:I can't wait for my next beach vacation with my animal hotties!kuantan or pangkor?cheerz
