Itching and Peeling ..

Yup.. I'm back. From the beautiful island of Lang Tengah (for those of you that still dont know, thats between Redang and Perhentian in terengganu) and i have not only managed to get way darker, and rather sunburnt, but i have achieved what i thought impossible - i sunburnt my ass. Amazing, aint it. had a great time there .. and for you folks that like the sea or the beach, i highly recommend it. Cos seriously, when i got there i had no idea that such a place still existed in Malaysia. A place where the fish swim right up to the shore, a place where the water is clearer then a darn swimming pool. A place where corals are within range of the beach (think little mermaid or finding nemo kind of corals .. amazing).

As i said, the water is so darn clear, its amazing. Ishuet and I were feeding the little fishies right at the beach.. where the water is shallow enough to wade into. And the resident squirrel? Its tame enough to take food right out of your hand. Doesnt really fancy Mr Potato, though.

See the black thingy in my hand? its a sea cucumber. A black, kinda slimy, suprisingly solid pudgy kinda thing. A kind of animal that clings onto the seabed (we dont know what) and its pretty gross to look at..but tolerable to hold for a while. Loads of these things down there. And dont throw em around, they can bleed and they can burst.

Just for the view.. By the way, it isnt the sunset. The yellow round thing was the moon. It came out yellow that night so we ran down to grab a shot..

Ishuet and I, taken in Terengganu at the Palace Entrance. Trust me, doenst look anything like a palace. We thought the little garden outside it was some sort of comunity garden or park. Hahaha.. And just to fill up the space, some other random shots.. And did you know, that Coke is still sold for 1.10 here?? Guess inflation didnt hit this place. Then again, neither did the nature conservationists. They sell turtle eggs in the market. Speaking of which.. there were turtles.. and sharks.. and clown fish... Go give the place a visit if you can .
