Organized Chaos Trip
















THE BEACH

Came back from Redang a couple of weeks ago, adventurous trip this time. Just like the tittle of this post said, organized chaos. All started with the flight ticket, We booked the flight depart from LCCT to Kuala Terengganu on 8pm and depart from Terengganu 8.30am flight. Well everything seems fine now at least the air ticket been taken care of.
Then 2 days before the departure date only make reservation with the travel agent for package. Every where is fully booked and I was like damm this time in deep shit already. I keep searching and searching until I finally got Redang Holiday Beach Villa, I was relief for a while. Then the agent gave me another news, standard and deluxe all taken. The only room available is Semi D Villa. So no choice have to take also, then I make the reservation and paid everything. The agent process it and ask for my flight itinerary, so I gave him all the flight details. Then the 2nd problem came in.... the agent said " Mr Wong, I think we have a slight problem here because your departure time from Kuala Terrenganu is 8.30am. The boat transfer only available at 11.00 am morning from island to land. I'm afraid you will have to missed your flight,"
















Dinning Area Sunrise Deck

Again I *&@#$)%^!(^% arghhhhh, so the conclusion is instead of 3 days 2 night. I have to stay 2 days 1 night in the island. The extra one day I have to spend in Kuala Terengganu :( what a boring place. Well at least now been taken care already accommodation and package. So the only things to do is get ready and packed for the trip.

3rd problem, one fine morning on the departure date. Crew from AirAsia called up and informed me that there is a slight changes on my departure time from LCCT to Kuala Terengganu. Instead of leaving at 8pm, they changed it to 5pm. And now I have to rushed all the way to the air port and I don't even have a Cab ready. Arghhhhhh, luckily manage to get one last minute and rushed all the way to airport 15 Min's before the gate closed. Phew what a relief...I checked in and board the plane at last.
Reach the island about noon, checked in and I was happy to see the semi D villa, not bad at all. Spend my time there swimming in open water and get tanned. For the first time I feel relaxed since last month. Good food, nice scenery and cool sea breeze....don't feel like leaving the island at all. Too bad I can only spend one night there and have to snap back reality, which is always cruel.
















The next morning I woke up early before sun rise, sit on the beach and waited for the awake of the beauty of mother nature. The sun rises and it was so beautiful and peaceful, manage to get a couple of shots, but the resolution is bad cause using camera phone. Anyway do enjoy the moment. Then breakfast and packed up.....




























4th problem, missed the boat to the land.... :(. Haihhhhh that time I was like whatever ler. Wont have another boat till tomorrow but I have to checked out dy. Anyway If I stay one more night I will missed the flight tomorrow. So have to talk to the resort management for extra arrangement, they agreed to let us stay till 3pm. Had a lunch and they will arrange with the ferry from Laguna. But we have to pay RM 40 each which is not too bad.

5th problem, so we stayed till 3pm, then the resort crew bring us to the jetty in Laguna which is about 15 to 20 min walk from the beach. When we reached the jetty, we saw the ferry already leaved. The crew called the captain using two way radio and the captain send a transfer boat to the land to transfer us to the ferry. At last on the way back to the main land.

At the main land, we checked in a budget hotel for one night. The walk around the town with a mission. One of them insist on looking for "GAO SI" (dog shit). Ahahaha, actually its Keropok Lekor. Well if not fried really look like "GAO SI". We bought some "GAO SI" for snack then go for seafood dinner. 4 person ate 6 dishes, Steam Fish, Vegetable, Wild boar meat, Crab, Prawn, and lala. I know its kinda crazy that why one of them eat until vomit once step out the restaurant. So stayed for a night and the next day fly all the way back to KL. What a interesting and adventurous trip. Here are some picture to share on my organized chaos trip.
