Post-Vacation

Damages :

RM600 for 2 adults + 2 kids + 1 baby (all in – 3N2D chalet, food, boat, trips )
RM1.5k for 1 heavy gold bracelet !!
RM100++ for petrol
Few hundreds more for the family
Minimum of 7 loads of laundry, the folding part has yet to settle until we need the item again.

We did not spent a single $$ while we were in Redang. The damages were more or less happened at Pasar Payang. Tu pun kami turun berdua je and direct pi regular stall to borong the keropok keping and get some local snacks (dodol and kuih sema). The keropoks were not for us but since my SIL promised some of her friends to get it, so the only option is to load up in our car. She traveled by bus, remember ?

Right after we left the jetty, we stopped by at our favorite keropok lekor station Keropok Sukaramai somewhere in Mengabang Lekor, if you’re coming from KT or airport-borne road (Seberang Takir), this place is further up. Our favorite is actually the fresh made keropok fried without being boiled first. After gentel torus masuk kuali…slurp yummeh..Hanis can finish more than 5 pieces of that 15cm-fish-laden keropok lekor in one sitting. So for 3 of us we need at least RM5 of it, about 25 pieces.
