Redang Day 4 - Home

Today is the last day of our stay in Redang.
Although it is 4D3N, but flight time is 1020, so there is not much we could do in the morning.

Group photo, Lee and Tan families, with 6 kids in tow.. We survived :)
Mummy's hands are full. And Daddy carries all the luggage !!

Breakfast by the pool
While waiting for our bus, the kids model for us again.
Their favourite ride on the island..
Our flight is 1020 from Redang back to Seletar.
Before taking off, everybody still cheerful. Although they enjoy Redang, kids still miss their home and toys :p

After less than 20mins, we are told Seletar airport is closed for military excercise!! Apparently, this is a last min announcement from Seletar authorities. Our plane was redirected to Kuala Trengganu airport.

Our plane parked for almost 30min, before we got all Clear to take off again. We were worried whether we need to transfer flight to KLIA or Johor Senai?
#$@ please do not pack us into another 8 hours Coach ride !!@@s@

Daddy : Over the last few days, the kids have become Good buddies already :)
Afterall, we run,swim,sweat,play together, and enjoy each other's company.

Isaac and Wei, Kang are now expert telephone operators. The kiddos were holding teleconferences with each other, once they master room-intercall :)

No complains about our trip, as it is enriching and challenging our parenting skills at the same time. Some might say this is no "relaxing" holiday, but we find it very fullfilling.
(As long as the kids are happy !!)

With kids, you need minimum 4d3n stay.
Paradise is now only 90 min away, hurray !!

The only hiccup we face is the Seletar Airport closure.
We did not pack extra milk powder and diapers !!
Luckily all went well, and our trip end on a High.

We had so much fun kids are asking when they can fly again?
Next stop, Koh Samui ? ?

Daddy : The sand at Berjaya Resort is white and refine, and very child friendly. Daddy had a lot of fun exploring his new undewater camera, although he did not have chance to snorkel further for better corals and fishes. Pity.
This is Xin's first oversea trip with us, and her first swim too !! Kudos to our heroine. Weather was superb, and it allows us to maximise our Fun.

Redang Day 2 - fiSh

Title - no sad faces here, Hurray !!

Back to story, Day 2 was packed with activities.. we spent the morning at Marine Park, a MustGo for all kids. Plenty of fishes and sand.

0800 - Breakfast buffet
Mummy improvised life jacket to be Xin's cushion :)
0915- short break at the beach..kids' instint took over!!
1000 - set off from Lobby for Jetty.
The short Boat ride was exhilarating for us !!
Video : motorboat



View from Jetty, Daddy ask us to focus on fishes and not the bikinis :p
Look at the cLear water and SHOAL of fishes :)
Anyway, if we could, we will jump into the water from the jetty !!
Even Mei Mei Ah Xin got water proof diaper..steady.
Suddenly, every kid wants a life-jacket, as nobody wanted to be last to go into the water !
This is Daddy's favourite picture. Everybody looked so cheerful.

Video : Throw in the bait, bread or legs?


Video : Wei squeeze out the bread from bottle


** These fishes are hungry and will even poke your cameras !!

After getting wet, we played with Sand too.

Video : Feeding frenzy, looks like piranha attack !! And a little girl was crying "ma ma" in the background :)




While the kiddos get busy with sand, Daddy and Uncle Johnny sneak back into the water with their Dicapacs.

Video : fishes closeup





** Daddy's underwater video is murky as we stayed close to shore. But if you snorkel further out near to the jetty, where you see Live corals and Greens, the view would be perfect :)
Please support this website http://www.redang.org/ for more pictures :)

Video : collecting water..


Video : we adore MarinePark..


Video : more sand..


Video : Kids are mischievous by nature ..


Video: Yi, are you happy or not? "Umh..umh"


Video : Mei Mei is delighted with water play


Time flies, after two hours, it was time to packup.
1215 - We are ready to go back to our hotel. Actually most people had already left, and we had the whole s-t-r-e-t-c-h of white powdery beach to ourselves.

Surrounded by pools and beaches, our clothes and scandals were always wet :p
And we hope the primates (not our kiddos, but those which swing from tree branches :p )
will leave our clothing alone.
After a short nap, we went to the pool. Yi liked this turtle.
Wei liked Nemo bus.
One minute Sunny ..
The next minute gloomy :(
Pool time..Wet wEt weT !!

Video: Everybody targeted and splashed Yi :)


** Daddy awarded water-baby Star award to Ah Yi, he was undaunted in facing the waters, even when he gulped a few mouths of water :)


Video: Downpouring Cats and Dogs


Mummy moisturizing our tanned baby lobsters
and infant crayfish.
Dinner buffet, Kang like Satay(without the gravy), and Yi likes fruits, especially Sour green apples..
Yi playing marbles "gor(3) Li(4)"
Video :childhood memories for the Uncles and Aunties.


Fish spotted..swimming in line formation.

Video : Time to go to Zzz land.. no coaxing needed, all KO.



Daddy : Kids enjoyed themselves thoroughly, another fun filled day.
MarinePark was highlight of our trip.
The weather and beach were fantastic.

Daddy noticed water clarity has deteriorated (compared to 10 years ago), and now visibility is only up to 3 or 4 metres. It used to be 10-15m easily!!

But for the price we are paying, and the tons of hungry fishes, no complains :)
Please be careful of the floorbed, as the dead corals and stones are sharp.

This is the picture which Daddy try to get, maybe next trip :)
