Just Another Day in Life -Travel
Let me introduce myself..
Most of the resorts on Redang Island are lined up along Pasir Panjang (Long Beach), arguably one of the best stretches of beach in all of Malaysia. A handful of other resorts are tucked away in private beach coves, the most impressive being Teluk Dalam (Deep Bay) where the Berjaya Beach Resort is located.
Redang Island boasts with white sandy beaches lined with palm trees, crystal clear waters and spectacular coral reefs. It’s everything that you hoped a tropical island would be and this idyllic place is less than an hour from the east coast of peninsular Malaysia.
Pulau Redang, Malaysia, offers some of the best diving and snorkelling in this part of the world with its rich marine life, sandy beaches and clear waters. We hope you find this online guide educational and helpful in planning your trip and caring for the marine environment by being responsible visitors. Enjoy your visit!
The 2000 film, Summer Holiday was filmed on the Laguna Redang resort, and a replica of the tea house now serves as the resort’s gift shop.
The Pulau Redang archipelago comprises Pulau Redang, Pulau Lima, Pulau Paku Besar, Pulau Paku Kecil, Pulau Kerengga Kecil, Pulau Kerengga Besar, Pulau Ekor Tebu, Pulau Ling and Pulau Pinang. Pulau Redang is the biggest of all the islands in the Marine Park, measuring about 7 km long and 6 km wide. Its highest peak is Bukit Besar at 359 metres above sea level. The boundary of the Pulau Redang Marine Park is established by a line linking all points 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) from the shores of Pulau Redang, Pulau Lima, Pulau Ekor Tebu and Pulau Pinang. The other nearby islands of Pulau Perhentian Besar, Pulau Perhentian Kecil, Pulau Lang Tengah, Pulau Kapas and Pulau Susu Dara are also gazetted and protected as Marine Parks. Today, only the bigger islands like Redang, Lang Tengah, Perhentian and Kapas have resort facilities for visitors. The management of Marine Parks primarily involves protection of the sensitive marine and terrestrial ecosystems by controlling the impact from human activities. These include waste & pollution management and conservation of coral reefs and terrestrial habitats.
The waters around Pulau Redang also contain two historic shipwrecks: HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse. The ships were sunk here at the start of World War II, setting the stage for the Japanese occupation of Malaya.
The island is also an important conservation site for sea turtles. Previously, the indiscriminate economic exploitation of turtle eggs had caused fewer turtles returning to nest on the island. This has led the Terengganu state government to set up the Koperasi Setiajaya Pulau Redang in 1989, a cooperative aiming to develop and manage socio-economic programmes that could improve the livelihood of Pulau Redang locals without endangering its natural resources.
Redang Island, locally known as Pulau Redang or just “Redang” is one of the largest islands off the east coast of Malaysia. It is one of nine islands, which form a marine park, and which offer snorkeling and diving opportunities. Access is from Merang or Kuala Terengganu on boats operated by the resorts; there is also a small airport with services operated by Berjaya Air from Singapore (Seletar Airport) and Kuala Lumpur (Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport).
20 February 2011 (Sunday) – Had a big argument with my wife today. I tried to recalled what we actually arguing about but it does not make sense. I have been trying to be a good husband and it is not enough for her?
Woke up in the morning. Planning to bring my mum to temple and later sent her to the hotel to check-in.
Everything went well at the temple, then headed to the hotel. After arriving, the reception said the room is not ready and mum have to wait for another hour.
Later, my wife suggested to go to the exhibition hall to see what event they have.
All of us went up and their “Expo Perdagangan Khas Wanita” event. It was an event for women, I told her I will wait for her outside. On the way out, I saw chef Zam in action and decided to sit and watch.
After the show finished, I called up my wife and asked her where they are. She told me they are already out from the exhibition hall. Then I told her to continue shopping while I will do my own window shopping. I decided to go WOFS and checked out some stuffs. When I finished, I went to MPH and then I felt a little bit hungry. I called my wife up again and asked her if she is hungry. She said a little bit, then I told her to meet up at Mdm Kwan.
We met at Mdm Kwan, we made our order and she told me she wanted a extra serviette. I told her why can’t she asked for it and why every time I have to ask? She replied that she gave me the opportunity to be a man. I told her I have been doing that for her for the past 5 years and I regretted doing that cause I felt that she is always depending on me on doing all the little things.
I think that’s where the argument starts..
She said I didn’t spend time with my mum enough. I asked her what she meant? She didn’t even bother to ask me that she wanted to go back to my mum’s place for the passed 5 years.
And during the argument, she said she did and I told her that the time is too short to go back to my mum’s place.
