Holiday: azniXadda Take Redang (First Day)

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Here goes the sharing about our short vacation to Redang. We went to Redang from 21 April to 23 April 2019. Actually, me and my husband both macam teringin nak berjalann sangat. Nak bershort trip. At first, we were decided to go to the Cameron Highlands but the weather did not really invite us to go there. Thus, we changed our plan to go to the Avani Sepang Goldcoast Resort or Avillion Port Dickson. Tapi last minute, I saw my friend pergi Redang and terus cakap kat husband. Dia terus agreee so yeahh, Jom kita bercuti ke Redang yeay.

Lets start with the preparation before we went to Redang.

Untuk makluman, most of the resorts kat Redang, jual pakej which means u cant book the resort only. Kena book all in except for resort-resort mahal sikit like The Taaras and Laguna Beach Resort.

For our trip, we stayed at Redang Holiday Beach Villa. Lepas survey, we decided to book the package with myeho.com. It costs us RM404 per head. The price includes aircond room, two ways ferry (Syahbandar-Redang-Syahbandar), 3x snorkelling trip, 2x Lunch, 2x Dinner, 2x breakfast and 2x hi-tea. But you need to pay RM5 for Marine Park Entrance and RM30 for a pair of life jacket and goggle.

We depart to Terengganu by bus (Adik Beradik Express) and come back to KL by flight (AirAsia).

As I have my family kat Kuala Terengganu, so kitorg balik awal sehari. So untuk korang yang tak nak bermalam, boleh naik bas malam sebelum ke Redang so that sampai pagi esok then boleh terus ke Redang. Bus station pun dekat je dengan jetty and got a mosque near it so boleh jee nak tumpang mandi.

23 April 2019
7.30 am : Breakfast
10.30 am : Checkout
11.00 am : Depart to Syahbandar by Ferry

As for the first day, kitorang sampai di Jetty Syahbandar pkul 7,45 pagi dan terus ke kaunter yang dah diberitahu oleh agen utk ambil tiket ferry. After that kena queue kat kaunter marine park untuk bayar Marine Park Entrance. RM5 untuk Malaysian tapi dengan syarat kena ada IC. Kalau pergi 10 orang, haa 10 IC laa kena tunjuk masa nak bayar tu.

Then, tunggu masa utk boarding dekat ruangan yang dah disediakan. Diorg agak punctual sbb by 8.30 am, diorg terus panggil penumpang Redang Holiday Villa untuk boarding ke ferry hehe. Ferry ni agak besar and dua tingkat so, i dengan husband duk atas. After few minutes ferry bergerak, akan ada staff ferry bagi tahu yang kita dibenarkan utk ke kawasan open deck ferry tu.

Tingkat atas ferry. Diorg ada pasang movie sepanjang perjalanan.

Open deck. Kuat sangattt anginnn

Perjalanan menaiki ferry almost 1 hour 30 minutes jugak sebenarnya. Then bila dah nak dekat sampai resort, kita kena transfer ferry ke ferry yang kecil sikit kat tengah laut tu sbb ferry ni besar so dia takboleh pergi ke tepi pantai. Naik ferry kecil tu around 5 minutes jee and dah sampaiii.

Kat belakang tu dah nampak dah long beach Redang. Ni kasi chance org bawah transfer ferry dlu.

So basically ni cara transfer from ferry besar ke ferry kecil. x seram pun inshaAllah.

Tu ferry kecil.

Dah sampaiii Redang yeayyyy.

air pasang so terpaksa laa redah air tu. Belum apa2 lagi dah basah

Seterusnya, kitorg queue untuk naik kenderaan khas ni utk dibawa ke resort. Each resort ada transportation memasing yaaa.

Transportation ke Redang Holiday Villa

And yeayyy dah sampai resort heheh. Bagi nama and details utk check in dekat kaunter and diorg suh tunggu kat kafe ni sbb bilik belum ready. So kita lepaking and bergambar laa dlu yeee heheh.

Posing dulu sikit hehehe

Around 12 tengahari, dah boleh lunch. So apa lagiii, letss eattttt! For me, their food not bad laa. Boleh laaa sbb normally for protein, they provide 3 types. So kalau tkleh makan ikan, ada ayam or daging or fishcake (i love their fried fishcake so much!)

Kalau dah lapar, semua pun sedap hahah

Lepas siap makan, check dekat kaunter and yeahhh we can check in dahh. Sorry sebab lupa nak amek gambar bilik. Bilik ada dua katil queen but got no televisyen yaaaa.

Swimming pool depan bilik hehe

Pukul 2, kitorg turun utk snorkelling trip open sea. I was quite nervousss sebab dah lama x snorkelling and mmg tak pandai sangat pun huwaaa ease me Ya Allah.

Lets snorkellinggg!

mintak tolong beach boy yang bawak baot kitorg snap picture

ni je gmbar mampu amek haha but tbh, kawasan ni, coral diaaa biasaaa jeee.

They let us snorkelling around 1 hour cmtu then balik ke resort utk minum petang. Lepas snorkelling confirm penat and lapar so memang nikmat sangat walaupun diorg sediakan pisang goreng jeee. Lepas tu i dengan husband decide nak jalan2 along the beach. Jalan-jalan aka bergambar sakan haha. Kita tunjuk 4 keping jeee laa kot nanti jemu pulak banyak2 yee.

Serik dah ambil gambar macam ni. Banyak pasir masuk dalam baju wooo. But worth the picture hhahaha sib baik dapat suami layan je.

Jalan punya jalan, sampai dekat hujung pantai near to Laguna Beach Resort, kawasan tu ada gerai orang tempatan berniaga.Ada keropok lekor, burger, air nyior and banyak lagi. Kitorg ingtkn nak beli burger but unfortunately, check dalam beg, lupa bawak wallet :( so takde rezeki. So please bawak dompet ye kalau jalan2 kat pantaii.

Kat situ juga ada gerai2 orang jual pakej snorkelling, fishing and macam2 lagi. My husband borak lama jugak dgn sorg beach boy ni. Dia advice incase ktorg nak tambah pakej sendiri selain drp pakej yang kitorg amek dengan resort. Dia ada buat trip snorkellig tengok turtle and dia jamin 110% yang kita akan jumpa turtle. Kitorg dah agak tertarik since the trip by the resort kurang memuaskan dia punya undersea view. But we decided to hold first and ambil number orang tu.

Bila dah nak dekat maghrib, kitorg jalan balik ke resort and decide untuk bersihkan badan and solat dulu, pastu turun untuk dinner. Untuk malam ni, just normal dinner. Malam kedua  baru BBQ dinner. But the BBQ, the staff yang tolong bakarkan ye. Kita datang, makan yang dah siap bakar jeee.

So lepas dinner, kitorg just lepak depan resort menghadap pantai and enjoy the moment. Husband kepenatan sampai tertidur ka kerusi tepi pantai tu. Syok betul star gazing ditemani deruan ombak dan angin sepoi-sepoi.
Thats all for the first dayyy at Redang :))) Till Next entry inshaAllah.

Sharing : Allah is The Best Listener

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم

Assalamualaikum wbt..

Here goes my first post in this blog. Lately, I've been referring to so many blogs to find a recipe, to search for other's experiences and sharing about their holiday. Thus, niat buat blog ni, untuk share things yang boleh dijadikan rujukan oleh orang lain. The least I can do to give a contribution to the society :) May Allah bless my intentions and I can be istiqamah to update InshaAllah.

So, for the first entry in my blog, I want to share something on how I realized and betul-betul percaya, Allah is the best listener.

Sometimes, bila kita kongsi masalah kita, kita harap orang faham kita. In some way, kita harap orang boleh advise kita supaya kita boleh tenang but somehow, when they advise, kita jadi makin stress. Dan terkadang, olutions yang diorg bagi tu, tak membantu pun. 

Ada situasi, kita share dengan harapan, they will understand us and situasi akan jadi better and they will accept our excuse. Tapi, mereka bukan sahaja tak faham, they even judge us. The worst, kita siap kena umpat lagi kan? 

Nope, they are not wrong for being unable to understand us. As we will never be able to understand the other people, so does them :) Doesn't matter how hard they or we have tried, no one will never be able to completely understand orang lain. Never! Bukan kita salah, bukan kita lemah, tapi ilmu dan pengetahuan kita, terbatas. So we try our best, let Allah do the rest.

Dalam situasi tertentu, our living listener might understand us, but in some situation, they might not. So, it is okay to share with them. It is okay to look for them when you were in trouble.

BUT

Dont rely on people, more than you rely on Allah. Sebab akan tiba satu masa, that person tak mampu nak penuhi your expectations. That person mungkin tak mampu nak faham your situation. On that moment, you akan faham, tak ada pendengar yang sebaik-baik pendengar kecuali Allah. 

Trust me, bergantung pada Allah, takkan pernah mengecewakan. Why? Sebab you cerita laa apa je, you cerita laa lama mana pun, Allah will never get bored to listen to you. You cerita laaa tentang apa pun, Allah will never judge you. Dengan Allah, takkan ada kejadian you share your problem, but at the end of the day, dari seorang je yang tahu, tiba2 10 orang tahu?!?! If they listen positively, okay laa kan. Tapi kalau they spread it negatively? Your previous problem pun tak solve lg, you dah kena hadap masalah lain. It is hurt kan? 

Dengan Allah, takkan pernah jadi macam tu.

Yang penting, kita kena percaya, kena semat betul-betul dalam hati, yang Allah itu sentiasa ada buat hambanya. Kena percaya, walaupun kita tak nampak, tapi Allah dengar luahan kita. Nangis la, luah laaa. Allah akan dengar. Indah sangat rasa bila kita berjaya letakkan pergantungan kita, hanya pada Allah. Kita tak perlu nak selindung apa-apa, kita tak perlu nak rangka ayat supaya pendengar tu tak fikir bukan-bukan dekat kita. 

Sebelum kita cerita lagi, Allah dah tahu apa kita rasa. Kita datang untuk luah jee apa terbuku di hati. Kita datang untuk lepaskan je beban dihati kita. Ada moment, kita sendiri tak faham dengan diri kita. Tapi Allah tahu, Allah faham. 

So why bother for not having someone to count on when kita already have Allah? Allah yang tak pernah tinggal kan kita, yang sentiasa mendengar setiap keluh kesah kita. Allah sentiasa ada. Tinggal kita je yang nak kembali pada Allah ataupun tidak :(

It is not easy, but I promise, it is going to be worth it :)

Lastly,

For those yang membaca, saya doakan moga Allah sentiasa melepaskan kalian dari sebarang kesulitan, dan semoga Allah memberikan kita semua hati yang sentiasa merasa cinta kepadaNya.

Till next post, inshaAllah.

Truly,

PuanMerahJambu
