^Holiday^

Lang Sari Resort
Pulau Lang Tengah
15th - 18th Sept 07

The Ennies first set off at 10.30pm on the Friday night for a long long 10hour bus ride to Kuala Terengganu where we will be meeting the other 4 at Merang jetty. The interesting thing about this trip? The 3 girls have never met each other and the 3 boys have been friends since they were 6(?) about.

Verdict on the holiday?

It was A.W.E.S.O.M.E.! :D

The island is lovely especially since I've never been able to see the sea bed beyond 10cm deep. Fishes were aplenty and I had my first ever snorkelling experience. We had to make 1 trip to Pulau Redang's Marine Conservation site. The shipwreck was pretty cool though rather frightening I must say ... only me and Ser Yik ventured there and there was a sense of gloom surrounding it. It really brought home the concept of deaths like in Titanic.

For those who warned me against visiting so late in the year, it only rained twice and both on the first two nights. Which was fine really, cause we had our nightly entertainments which involved F1 on the first night and whiskey coke+Jenga+cards+UNO every night. *hee* Kayaking and beach volleyball was the agenda for the 3rd day. While the guys were fascinated with Sin Yee's gymnastics, me & Ser Yik went exploring and rock climbing on our own. We made a stop at the only sundry shop on the island. *haha*

There are only 3 resorts and 1 convenience store on this little island which is sandwiched between Pulau Perhentian and Redang. A Coke can costs Rm3 at the store and Rm4 at the only watering hole. The beach at the Blue Coral is the loveliest but the resort's closed for a year due to management dispute. The beach's still open tho. Pity many of the beaches had loads of corals which made it kinda hard to walk on w/o slippers. They really should take a tractor to clear it off. *heh*

The people on the island's real friendly, probably cause there are so little of us. We stayed in the cheapest room of the cheapest resort on the cheapest island. Hence, the ants in the bed and temperamental heaters. BUT! The resort staff & boss were (except for a fat woman) absolutely fantastic! We were rather troublesome guests, always having a request for ice, cups, etc but Kenny's 'friend' & co. readily helped. They even allowed us to hijack their boat with noone on board!

Which brings me to our beloved boat - the Sarjen. It took us on all our snorkelling trips and delivered some of us home, albeit at a rather slow pace. Almost all of us took the 'Leap of Faith' - an approximately 5m jump off the topmost cabin on the Sarjen! Cool huh? :D On our group's 'spot', you could feel the wind in your hair, every dip and rise of the waves and spot flying fishes ...

~our beloved spot on the Sarjen~

Last but not least, I would like to mention the Big Belly Club. In attendance: (the newly elected) President Jian, Executive Members Kuan & Kenny and the Council Members (who have no voting powers sadly) Penny, Sin Yee and Ser Yik. Though I've only met some once or twice and some never at all, it's difficult not to be fast friends with this bunch. They're lively, friendly and shameless. :P I guess, given Kenny's character, it's easy to see why they can remain such good friends for so long.

So, TO OUR NEXT BIG BELLY CLUB HOLIDAY!!

P.S.: Try come to S'pore between 3rd and 9th Sept ...
