-- Redang Trip [Day 1]

As several of friends are waiting to view my photos of Redang Trip. Yeah!~ Finally, I was able to look up for some time just to upload the photos.

This is only for the first day and I didn't uploaded all. Those photos that I'd selected are because they are more meaningful.

Six of us (inclusive of Ashwin, Thomas, Andy, Audrey, dear and I) departed at around 12a.m from Melaka and headed towards Kuantan and then from there we went to Kuala Terengganu.

Andy voluntarily to be the first driver and after that Thomas took over half way. Amazingly both of the Swiss guys were able to read the signboard and recognized the roads better than the rest of us which are Malaysians.

Finally after a 6 and a half hours drive, we reached at Kuala Terengganu Merang Jetty. After we obtained our boat pass, we went for a breakfast before we board on the boat.

Alright, for the rest of day, let's start to view on my photos.

Here you are.. Thomas--the second person who droved and his driving skills was really shocking as the way he drove made everybody thought that we were riding on the roller coaster in the midnight. Haha!~

This is the place where we were waiting for the boat to arrive at the jetty after our light breakfast. We were departing to Laguna Redang Resort which was said as the Five-star resorts in Redang Island.

When we arrived in Redang Island, we were given a briefing and we were informed that the check-in time was 2p.m. However, we could be able to enjoy our lunch starting from 12.30p.m.

This is Laguna's beach area which was suitable for sunbath.

The first photo I took in Redang Island. Dear and I decided to take a walk before the lunch and the sun was really too bright and in fact it was too hot till I couldn't really open my eyes when I took photo. Haha!

Dear and I took a photo at another side of Laguna Resort. You see.. I was forcing myself to open my eyes and dear was cleverer because he wore the sunglasses to avoid the eye contact.

Hehe. This is the place where every Malaysian will capture at least a photo of it. The place where the movie 'Summer More More Tea' was filmed and it had become one of the hot spot promoted in Redang Island.

Haha. How could dear let go a chance to take the photo of this More More Tea Inn to prove that he'd been to Redang?

Yeah.. The next one was me. Don't look at my thigh or legs. I know it's fat.. Haha!

Ngek ngek ngek... Another 'hot spot' that must be taken a photo. I had observed that all the couples would took a photo at this spot to prove that their heart will go on and on..

Dear told me after he took this photo, he felt that he are more potentially to be a photographer. What do you think?

The wooden bridge connected to Redang Reef Resort where the blue sand spot was located.

Ashwin and I on the wooden bridge. One of the most sincere colleague that dear has in his company. He was also our roommate during the trip.

Why do I want to share this photo with you? The reason was because the way those marine creatures were drawn was really 'cute'. In Redang, you could go for scuba diving even you don't own a diving license. However, you need to bear for extra charges.

Thomas just had fun at the seaside with Andy and Audrey. Three of them couldn't wait to go into the sea before the snorkeling trip. Do you know how tall is this guy? 192cm. Superb tall...

Such a beautiful scenery on Redang Island's sea. The water was so clear and you have no reason to refuse to go into it.

We reserved for the Pool View Triple-sharing room and this is how the pool view looked like. Not bad huh?

On the first day, only me couldn't joined for the snorkeling trip due to girls' matter. So I stayed in the room and had a good rest. This photo was taken before we go for dinner. We were quite satisfied with the lunch on that day and looked forward for the dinner and most of them were extremely hungry after the sea activities.

Ashwin and dear. Dear said he likes this photo as both of them looked just as natural and relax as they were in Redang.

The night view of More More Tea Inn.

There were actually limited activities during night time in the island but we found one. The open night disco at the resort next to us but we didn't joined it.

-- Journey to KL --

On the next day after I went back to Melaka from Cyberjaya, dear and I went up to KL to visit my mom as she was not feeling well.

That was really an interesting journey. Want to know why?

Dear was driving on that day and amazingly he said there was one bus which followed his car closely and kept on 'highlight' him for a signal to give way. We wondered anything went wrong with the bus driver. The bus was driven on the speed of 130 - 140 km/h and it was like far ahead from the limited speed -- 110km/h.

The 'super' bus' plate number was BGM 3116.

Wow. No wonder it could have 'fly' so fast. I wondered what's the feeling of the passengers sitting on the bus. If I was one of them, my face would definitely looked pale like a piece of white paper.

SE Super bus- I wouldn't dare to take this bus even if all other buses are full. Haha!~

Guess where is this place? It's the restroom and prayers' place which were set up in one of the Petrol Kiosk in KL-Seremban Highway. Quite amazed with the signboard available there.

Hehe. The ladies are located at the right.

Seriously I like this signboard very much!~ Maybe because of the design with sky and clouds.
So remember, Don't drive and drunk because you are advised to drive safely.

-- MMU Open Day in Cyberjaya Campus --

As I mentioned in previous post that my colleagues and I went up to Cyberjaya campus one day earlier for booth decoration.

We arrived at about 10.40a.m. and immediately we headed to the Grand Hall and unload our decoration materials to our booth. The location is not strategic at all because visitors could hardly see our booth if they don't come near to that area.

After that, we went to collect our apartment key and we waited for about one hour in the HR office which was located in the new building just opposite the grand hall.

The funniest thing was none of us were around the grand hall to start on the decoration but our boss asked, "Why nobody was in the hall for booth decoration yet?" when he met us in the HR office. It was because only four of us were assigned for the decoration and by the time we met our boss, the four of us were waiting at the HR office because we planned to settle our stuff at the apartment before we start our work.

Afterall, we had our lunch in prior to our work. We started at about 1.00p.m. and we thought it would take us about two to three hours to finish it but somehow it was out of our expectation. Guess what's wrong? The booth was set up using 'shellboard' and we were not provided with double-sided tape. By the time we were able to get the tape, we found out it was not suitable to be used because it didn't work as sticky as we thought. It was short of time and the only thing we could was trying the best to stick the posters and the labels onto the booth. Thus, we ended up to finish at 6p.m. We thought everything would be fine. However, after dinner with our boss, we requested him to 'inspect' the decoration and we took another one hour to have minor modification.

Let's show you some of the photo I took on the booth before the modification.

CADP and recently had been changed to CDP.

It was a simple design but I believe it looked nice. :-P

The right corner was the place to locate FYP project but the laptop would only 'arrived' on the next morning.

One of my colleague -- Izah was walking around the booth to make sure all the materials didn't fall down before we left for bath.

Hehe. Could you find out the difference from the first photo?

Here you are. We added a 'Welcome' wordings to enhance the decoration but the booth still looked a bit plain.

-- Lunch in Cyberjaya --

Last two weeks I went up to Cyberjaya with a few colleagues for MMU Open Day. We went one day earlier for the purpose of decoration of booth.

It wasn't that tiring when driving up there but the 'nightmare' started when we were looking for a place for lunch. Due to the hunger, we couldn't really think much and Jin Yee was introducing Street Mall as one of the nearest place from MMU campus for lunch. So we headed to this place and we went to a restaurant which sells Penang-style dishes.

Guess what did I ordered?

Penang Char Koey Teow. Of course it didn't taste as nice as what you could get in Penang but the price was really got me shocked -- RM6.00!~

A cup of Orange juice which cost RM3.50. You can get one for RM2.00 in Melaka and it's much more tastier.

As for dinner, we went out with our boss and had it in OldTown Coffee House. I ordered Maggie Mee and Egg Toast and a Hot Honey Lemon.

The whole day in Cyberjaya costs me around RM20 just for meal and the conclusion is the standard of living in Cyberjaya is really HIGH!~
