Now the holidays for NTU students are over. Will be getting back to NTU for my last year tomorrow.... sigh .... will definitely suffer from Monday Blues again!!!
However this holiday though short was spent wisely. There was the trip to Indonesia and shopping done in Jakarta. Stayed at the Menara Peninsula in Jakarta with Dad, Mum and my bro. Then we shopped at Plaza Senayan, Taman Anggrek and ITC on the 17th to the 19th of July.
Returned to Singapore on the 19th and got the beautiful Merc SL-class replica at the MB duty free shop at Changi Airport. Amazing model with a fully functional roof top, definitely my best model car ever!!! Then it was off to return my library books, and settle my brother's student visa and air ticket to Vancouver, will be missing him when he leaves.
Finally the grand finale to the holidays, the much awaited trip to Redang. we left Singapore at 10 pm and reached Kuala Terenganu at 630 am, then it was a long wait for the ferry which arrived at 930am, when the 3 hours can be used for swimming or snorkelling.
The first day at our resort, the Berjaya Redang Beach Resort was spent with an hour's of kayaking and swimming at the beach. Redang is truly an amazing island, the best I have been to. The beaches are clean to the extent you can see the sea bed and the crests of the sand. The sand is the most wonderful, it is soft to the feet. Wonder where else I would experience such beautiful beaches. The best thing is this island is not too over-commercialized and meals (breakfast and dinner) was provided at the resort. Though the resort is quite expensive, it was worth it for the ambience and the extraordinary location.
The highlight of the stay for me gotta be the snorkelling trip at the Marine Park and the Bays around Redang. Everyone should visit Redang for this!! You can truly experience the beauty of marine life with fishes flocking around you while you savour the beauty of the corals. Amazing, it just lets you relax in the sea and see what we normally would have experienced only in Discovery Channel.
After 2 nights we headed back to Singapore and if the opportunity arises, I would like to return to Redang some day. Though I would maybe take a plane next time. The bus ride is just too long and tiring, especially after going through the Lampung-Jakarta ferry and ride.
So its time to rest this sunny sunday for enough energy to be awake during lectures tomorrow. Have 4 lectures tomorrow and 3 are in the morning!!! =<
