This is how Lang Tengah Island looks like in the morning. This photo was taken on our last day of the trip. The sun was rising from the jungle behind the resort and I like how the sunlight started to shine on the island.

These are photos taken on the left side stretch of the beach, there are a lot of dead corals washed up here. So walking on the beach here is really painful if you don’t have your sandals on.. I hurt my toe when I stepped on a sharp one, ouch. Anyway it’s prohibited to collect them, even though they are dead. Contrary to the Marine Park in Pulau Pinang (don’t be confused, there’s really an island here with this name, not the Penang island I am from), you won’t find any dead corals there.

One of the activities here is jungle trekking. The journey takes only around 30 minutes but it’s tough. The reward is the amazing sea view..

The view here is just magnificent, and you can’t help but feel excited when the waves smash the rocks. Too bad we couldn’t stay too long because it was near evening and we had to get moving.

Lastly, the breathtaking sunset.. Nice right?

I know I said I would be going for a Redang trip, but the trip wasn’t really to Redang lol. My trip was to the island between Redang Island and Pulau Perhentian, Lang Tengah Island. I didn’t know about this until the day before, ouch. Anyway I reached Kuala Terengganu at 5am after a painful 8 hours journey on bus. And 10am only I boarded the boat to Lang Tengah Island.

The boat ride to Lang Tengah was damn challenging. I really salute you if you manage to reach the destination without feeling sea sick at all. Langkawi’s ferry ride is peanuts compared to this.. After all, the South China Sea’s wave is much stronger than Malacca Straits’. A guy even threw up in the boat. Eww.. luckily his ’stuff’ didn’t stain our bags lol.

During my trip, I stayed in the one and only resort in Lang Tengah Island, the Redang Lang Resort.

Crystal clear sea water, scorching sun and white sandy beach.. That’s the three elements that make up Lang Tengah Island.

As mentioned in my earlier post, this is the funny video of Yusoff Chong impersonating Sammy Vellu. Enjoy! Video adjusted to lower quality due to its large file size.

Jabil 2007 Annual Dinner was held in Equitorial Hotel, Bukit Jambul last Saturday. The event can only be held in Equitorial Hotel because of the large number of attendees. And only the ballroom in Equitorial’s can accomodate so many people. I was a sub-committee of the event, job was to usher guests into the ballroom and support the lucky draw system. Because of that I had to arrive earlier at 2pm.

This is the view you will get at the receiptionist. Notice the Penang Bridge on the left, and Queensbay Mall on the right. The Bukit Jambul Country Club’s golf course is also visible from here.

Looking to the left, there are a many bungalows along the small hill. They must cost at least a million or so.. landed property in Penang island is super expensive.. One of the units has a swimming pool, so nice.

The entrance to the event. Our night was themed ‘Masquerade Nite’ hence the special decoration.

A view within the ballroom, this is only about half a quarter of the ballroom’s total size. The lightings were superb, and each table had 2 balloons attached. Very nicely done.

The main stage, taken in the noon.

And how it looked like when the event was about to start. Disco lights were on, creating the party atmostphere. The emcee of the night was Michelle, who is actually a guy. You would mistake him as a lady if he didn’t talk. A hilarious personality, no wonder he was invited to host all our annual dinners.

Next was a series of dance performances by Cat Vogue, a group of professional performers who can dance really well! Notice their outfits are very skimpy too..

Oh my look how excited she got lol. And the girl behind her seems to be very unhappy about it

No pictures of the food served that night. See next picture for explanation.

The food sucks, big time. My friend’s expression explains it all lol. Thanks Quah for posing lol.

Yusoff Chong, a popular comedian notorious for immitating artistes and politicians made his way from Kuala Lumpur to the event. His impersonation of Tun Dr. Mahathir, Lim Keng Yaik and Samy Vellu left everyone in stitches. I recorded a video but it is more than 80mb.. Will find a way to post the video if possible..

Amy Search was probably the most anticipated by everyone that entire night. Although at 49, he looked great and still remain as a favorite singer in Malaysia. His popularity recently is further boosted for being TV3’s Mentor winner, Fiq’s mentor. For those borned in the 80s, who can forget his hit song ‘Isabella’? I myself liked his ‘Kerja Gila’ in the 90s, a very catchy song. I have always thought that Amy Search is a cool guy judging from his appearance. Surprisingly he is a friendly and cheerful guy, who smiled a lot throughout his performance.

I was lucky to win a Pensonic Coffee Maker from the lucky draw. Besides that I was also given a half day replacement leave for having to work on that day. This couldn’t be a better reward, I will use it this Friday to get home early. Hahaha I didn’t expect I will get to avoid the traffic jam!
