A Getaway to Serenity

If you've been following my other social media platforms ( fb, instgram etc), you'll know that i've been away for 5 days to Kota Bharu, Kelantan and Pulau Perhentian...
Listening to the song Love U U at this very moment~

The companions of this trip is Jan and Mandy or sometimes when i have some kind of mental block it becomes Jandy and Man ==

This is our first trip together =) and I know that there will be more to come..haha

the journey starts from LCCT to Sultan Ismail Petra Airport...
seeing Jan waving at us at the arrival hall relieved me =)
Jan's Papa and Mama welcomed us with open hands and I'm really very grateful for their warm hospitality =) ( Jan, if you see this, tell ur parents Thank you a million times  haha )

didn't do much on the first night besides chatting since we'd arrived at KB quite late...

The second day was jam packed with popular KB destinations...
Loads of temples explored... surprised? because it's Kelantan?
but don't forget, Kelantan is just next to Thailand, which answers why there're so many temples there.






These are some of the famous temples, the standing Buddha, seating Buddha, Lying Buddha, Big Guan Yin, Dragon Boat and the oldest temple in KB ...
I know my descriptions are very vague, but better to just go there and see for yourself how majestic the Gods are...

We also went to the popular beach in KB, Pantai Cahaya Bulan ( formerly known as Pantai Cinta Berahi )


Got to try some of the KB food but not much since you know that I'm now on a strict diet, traveling and dieting is a pain! 

The next day is exciting because we're finally going to Pulau Perhentian =) 
Thanks to Uncle and Aunty for dropping us off at Jetty Kuala Besut =)
The speedboat to the island is damn fast lor..
i've been to quite a number of islands but this is my first time getting on such a fast speedboat from land to island...was basically jerking all the way...and TBH, i'm not a roller coaster person...haha


on the way to the island~ 

 Finally at Pulau Perhentian =)
 Our resort for 2 nights~
 Jan and Mandy
Jan and I =) 

After checking in, we had to wait for a couple more hours till lunch and then our snorkeling trip officially kicked start~ 

Without wasting that few hours we have before lunch, we camwhored on the beach..typical girls..LOL 








No pics were taken during the snorkeling trip cause we were busy going up and down the sea and our cameras are not water proof thus the lack of pictures of us snorkeling =) 

pictures of us after coming back from the snorkeling trip~ soooo many fishes! it was kinda scary swimming with so many of them but luckily it was all fine...haha 
3 of us ended up being the most gung-ho among the others on the same boat as us...
we just snorkel like nobody's business and basically what's there to be scared? lifejacket yo~! 
but seriously, if there's no rule that we must use the lifejacket, i would want to swim without it, because it's so cumbersome and it restraints my movement =(  





sorry if i look really haggard without eyebrows LOL 

The next day was island hopping snorkeling trip =) 
got to go to Redang Island, Marine park, Lang tengah etc to snorkel...
Going to Redang gaves me nostalgia...everything seems so familiar and friendly...haha 
redang is definitely much more developed than perhentian..
Redang is more crowded and Perhentian on the other hand is much more quiet...you basically have a lot of your own space.. do nonsense and nobody is there to judge you ...haha 

At Redang~ 



 Typical picture when you are in Redang =) 

another jumping shot of me XD 

though some glitch happened during the snorkeling trip it was nonetheless a good experience =) 
some strangers are just weird and we will never get them LOL 
thanks to the divers that took care of us...
hello, there's a reason why people want to take care of us instead of u strangers ok? 
don't jelly~  LOL
don't want to talk too much bout them, not important 
every trip has its own obstacle..LOL 

camwhoring time after today's snorkeling trip again XD 
 comic strip of me and mandy, have your own interpretation of these pictures XD 

 they say this is called the "yen shann" pose...hahahaha 

nonsense pictures overload! 

Time flies and the next day is the day that we say goodbye to this paradise and back to our normal routine~ 

but before leaving, more camwhoring sessions! 

 the trios~ 
 weeee~ 

 macam yes~XD 
then our goodbyes to the island~~~ 







back to Besut Jetty, thanks to uncle and aunty for picking us up and the satisfying lunch + movie session ( cabin in the woods) before really leaving KB and Jan =') 

it was really fun having you guys and more trips to come~!!!  

(most camwhoring pics are credited to Jan XD )
