The beach and the sea, RIGHT ON!

The past 3 days couldn't have been better. It was great~ Thanks to Jessie and her parents, me, SK and Jocelyn got a chance to stay at a really good hotel, Awana Kijal (^.^) Yeapz, and we need not pay for accomodation, which makes it even better.... lol. Let me recap those 3 awesome days

Day 1:

Woke up around 7am. Jessie said she would pick us up at 8am but she ran late, so the 3 of us had breakfast first at Eng Ann. Yea, I was indeed the object of attnetion due to my plaited hair, I look like some jungle girl who got lost in the city (practically all the apeks and ah sam's looking at my hair, NOT ME, I know larr, I'm not that captivating what *blek*) So when Jessie came at 9am, we were more than ready to leave. Off we were to Terengganu. Half way through the journey, we stopped by at Kuantan for lunch. Had a great bowl of curry mee, the best food I've ever tasted in Kuantan so far. It's been ages since I last went to Kuantan, and it was a good return there. We finally reached Awana at about 4.30pm. Once there, I seriously can't wait to walk around the resort. It was huge, but the best thing about being there was definitely the beach. A really nice stretch of beach they have there, not to mention the crystal clear water as well as white sand. I was enthralled by the beauty of nature that surrounded me.

A walk around the resort prove to be interesting. The pool was gorgeous, and they have an 18 hole golf course as well. It was basically all-in-1 resort, and seriously I didn't want to leave the place. We took a brief walk around the resort, stopping by to take photo's as well as enjoying the scenery. Later in the evening, all of us head down to a restaurant which was 40 minutes drive away (>.<) But the trip there prove to be worth it as the food we ordered was delicious, and I seriously think I have put on the weight I lost this past month (>.<) Now that ain't good~

Day 2:

Day 2 started off with me getting up pretty early. Me and Jessie made our own breakfast since the other 2 were still sleeping. Then both of us head out to the pool first as SK, our sleeping beauty has yet to wake up from slumberland (she sleeps really well) So off we were swimming in the pool, and enjoying the jacuzzi (man, I didn't know the jacuzzi had hot water????!!!! I thought I was boiling myself in the water, but after a while, the experience became enjoyable) After a while, it was time to head off to the beach. Yayness, once at the beach, me and Jessie was busy picking up the seashells, yeapz, there were heaps of them, and they were really beautiful~ I was so HAPPY!!! But because we were under the sun too long, had sun burns on my body (yea, it hurts, and I end up getting a tan as well~)

When we decided it was enough sunburns we had, we head off back to the apartment to shower. Then it was the other 2 girl's turn to go out. I ate and ate while watchign tv in the apartment. The I realised I can't be eating like this, and went out with Jessie again to have a walk. We ended up playing the giant chess located beside the giant snake-and-ladder game in the resort. I'm really bad in chess (-______-)" Then SK and Jocelyn decided to join us and all 4 of us head off to the beach once again for photo session. We seriously took loads of pictures there with all kinds of pose, until we capture the attention of others who must be thinking what these 4 crazy girls are up to.......... lolz Later in the evening, we went back to the apartment and had dinner (uncle and aunty bought us chicken rice and some malay delicacies, YUMMY)

After dinner, we decided we didn't get enough of the beach and off we went to the beach again. So I went to the beach 3 times on that fateful day. The beach was great at night as well. We went and lie down on the cool sand while gazing at the stars (luckily for us, it was low tide and we had a nice patch of sand to lie down on) It was indeed and experience that I'll never forget as the last time I star gaze was ages ago, and to be able to lie down on the beach and gaze at the beautiful stars above......ahhhhh, life can't get any better

Day 3:

Day 3 started off not-so-nicely. It was drizzling, and we actually planned to go to the beach again early in the morning. So we ended up at home eating breakfast and packing up instead. Uncle was kind enouhg to bring us to Kemasik beach, a really nice beach 1 km ahead of Awana Kijal. As the weather was cloudy and it was drizzling, we hurried up and took a few snaps before heading off to Kuantan again. At Kuantan, we had the same curry mee, and then me, Jessie and Jocelyn had a short walk to Chempedak Bay, another nice patch of beach in Kuantan. After a few snaps of pictures, it was time to go and we went off to a shopping mall in Kuantan. While uncle had some work to do, the rest of us went shopping. I was amazed at my shopping abilities. I love to shop and ended up spending a lot in less than an hour (okay, it might not that much for you guys, but considering I did a lot of shopping I did during the past 2 weeks, I practically spend nearly 80% of my current savings so far (>.<). I must stop shopping from now on, at least till I get my first pay)

All in all, it was indeed an experience I will remember as long as I can. Thanks to the Ong's for letting us tag along on this trip. Aunty, please do not tempt us in following you to Koh Samui anymore. As much as I want to, I don't think it is possible as I am rather broke for now, and I can't be travelling while I am studying *sigh*

just another day..... posted at 10:00 AM.
