Wisana Redang - Day 1

Pre-Vacation
We reached our beloved hometown around 9pm++ after countless of scolding, wriggling, crying sessions with the kids. Ada harapan sambar Wish dulu sblm rumah siap ni karang…penat siot travel jauh2 for more than 6hrs naik keter sempit. Especially when you have 3 kids who can’t differentiate a car with a house !! They jumped, the played, they screamed, they punched and kicked as they wish while Babah maneuvered the Spectra at 130Kph. We’d love to travel by plane but thinking of the prospect of traveling all the way to LCCT and not being able to go out while we are in kampung, we decided to drive. My SIL boarded the bus the same night, she will wait for us at the Merang jetty.

Day 1
The next morning, we had some nasik berlauk for breakfast. Aku x sempat makan sbb sebok siapkan budak2 and make sure I didn’t miss any important stuffs like thermos, formula and diapers. We left the house for the jetty around 8am++ . My SIL was there and rushed us to the parking lot, the ferry was ready to take off and we’re the last passenger !! Aiyaa…we have to attend time management course la…

We boarded a ferry because we had Hannah to consider. Our seats were not that comfy and the noise was so unbearable. I can feel my body bergetar2 all the way to the island.

Discovery : They also got a ‘roadblock’ at sea, the maritime patrol team will watch over boat operators who’s breaking the law. In our case, the passengers were not wearing any life jacket. The jackets were available but who wanna put it on when the temperature was like hot sunny day. The sea-patrol traveled in a high-speed boat that resembles a hovercraft. I’m so impressed to the point of staring at them when then climbed onto the ferry. They’re such a polite officer…they smiled said sorry and thanx, that’s a rare attitude for a law enforcer, isn’t it ?

We reached our destination, Wisana Redang in Teluk Kalong Kecil around 11am++, the owner, Abg Hassan@Asang is our family friend. I was so mesmerized with the beauty and totally forgot to capture the best view from the ferry until it was too late. The moment we stepped on the white sand, I’ve decided that this gonna be our lil’ haven for times to come.

Had to wait at the canteen@cafe while waiting for the guest to check-out. Less than 15 minutes, Hanis and Adan tugged my shirt, nak mandi….nak mandi..aiyooo. In our chalet, I did what I do best, organized ‘what should be where’ because they have no wardrobe to offer. This is a no-frills resort, whaddaya expect ? you won’t spend so much time in there anyway. They rest of them went to snorkel somewhere nearby, I think further up the-too-commercialized Marine Park.

They came back when it was almost dark, smiling and continued playing at the beach. I grabbed Hannah and let her enjoy the sea and sand much to her joy. The son loves Sandman from Spidey 3 so much and he couldn’t contained his excitement, rolled on the sand and declared his love to ‘the sand’…in exact word “Adan love sand!!”, oh my hopelessly romantic son.

Sand castle yang x jadik2

One happy Sandman

The water gurl

She bulldozed all our worries, tough & brave

After dinner, went back to chalet while some of them stayed for ASTRO, got nursing to do.
