A start for a plan made last year with someone who got the same love in travelling; island resort for a holiday! Initial plan is to visit Perhentian Island. But package is unavailable by the travel agent at the time when we did our planning. So thus, since my partner is so keen on visiting Redang island, I suggested Laguna Redang. Been here last year and love to revisit it again.

Normal package available is 4N3D, but we extend another day stay at an additional of S$135 per person with all the three meals provided – B,L,D.

Departure time : 10pm, but need to check in half hour before at Golden Mile Complex at Five Stars Tours. It seems funny bcos we book at Regent Star Travel but we are to report at Five Stars Tours where the tour package of these two varies significantly.

Norm, we went tru immigration clearance via Second Link. It’s quite busy at the Departure Hall but being Singaporean, I could clear at the automated gate and clearance is a breeze. On the Msia side, clearance was a breeze too bcos two complex is in operation. Alhamdulillah…

Stop over is at a standard port : Yong Peng. It’s already 15mins past midnite. Nothing much could be bought for supper. Moreover it’s just a 30mins stop-over for light meal and toilet break. And then we are set for a 7hrs bus ride to Shahbandar Ferry Terminal in Terengganu, Malaysia.

Reached Shahbandar Terminal at 7.30am, did a lil wash up and had light breakfast. By 8.10am we had exchanged our voucher for the boarding pass, and paid RM5 for the marine conservation fee. This fee is compulsory in order for the Marine Park to maintain its marine life. Our ferry left Shahbandar Ferry Terminal at 9.30am.

A beautiful sunrise @ Shahbandar Ferry Terminal greeted us

Even tho it was stated that the ferry ride is a 1hr 30mins ride, but this time it took 2hrs bcos of the choppy water. Many were seen throwing up due to sea sick. Alhamdulillah (Thank God), me and my partner are ok.

Hate late-comers. I dunt hv high patience level u know.

One thing that i always hold onto; wenever sometg bad happen to me, i'll nvr ask God "Why me?" Cos in times of goodness and happiness i nvr ask God "Why me?" Cos everything that happened, happens for a reason.
