Pulau Redang, Terengganu

Pulau Redang
My trip to Pulau Redang is the most memorable trip. Most of my trips are bound to be some wonderful memories. However, a trip to Pulau Redang has given me an exceptionally impact.  Those who love peaceful and quiet destination for holidays;  away from the hustle and bustle of the city; thus,  Berjaya Vacation Club is the answer for those who seek tranquility of the nature and in fact a perfect paradise for honeymooners or those seeking a peaceful place for meditation.  I love the peaceful and serenity of the nature but my other friends couldn't stand the loneliness of this place. So she found her way out from this Berjaya Resort. Nothing can be found here accept peaceful of mind and worry-free.


My friends said I am going to get crazy if I didn't get out from this 'eerie' place. The place is so lonely with nothing inside this resort. Quiet and like a deserted place. Just to sleep, hahaha..


Finally, I had to give in to my friend when she managed to find a new accommodation at Redang Bay Resort.  Meals and activities are included in this package. 


So, here we are at Redang Bay Resorts!  She's absolute right!  The accommodation is quite reasonable.  We paid only  Rm389 for 3days 2night package. If you want to go for snorkeling, only Rm30 per person is charged.  Various seas activities are waiting for those people who love extreme sea activities.


The Canteen, where 5-meals-a-day is included in the package

We did enjoy ourselves very much at Redang Resort even with just very simple service.
They provide outdoor sea activities for interested tourists. All  prices were agreed during our discussion before we confirm taking up the package with the resort.

We must make another visit to this beautiful beach with crystal clear water. Snorkeling is the best activities that we had enjoyed. They  organize night activities such as diving and snorkeling for interested tourists.  However, please take note that all resorts in Pulau Redang are close from November till February during the monsoon season.  So, plan your holidays accordingly.








This is indeed an amazing and awesome holiday we had ever had. I will go to  Redang Bay again for my holidays. What a wonderful trip.

Note : Prior to Redang Island, we travelled to Kuantan for a night.  Then, we proceeded down to Terengganu. From Shah Bandar Jetty, we took a ferry over to Pulau Redang. Plenty activities can be seen at the jetty even before going over to Redang beach.

Taiwan

Taipei


Oooppssss!....My Goodness!   I have almost forgotten about my trip to Taiwan on 22 April 2014. How can I forget such a trip especially it was an incentive trip from E-excel company.  Yes, I got to travel for free after having fulfilled the company requirements.  Proud to say that I managed to achieve my sales target for a given time for this particular Taiwan Incentive Trip.  As all expenses were being paid by the company, it was truly an awesome holidays.... just enjoy and be happy without having to worry about counting the $$$$$$$... hahaha .....

Hi Taiwan!  Here I come.....

On the first day of arrival,  E-excel brought us to Shilin Night Market.   It's an underground food court. Wow... you can pick and choose different variety of mouth-watering local foods.

Next,  we proceeded to Taichung by high speed train (45min).  In Taichung,  we got to visit Puli Brewery Factory, hometown of Shaoxing Wine. At night, we visited  Fengjia Night Market.










Cool and refreshing is what I can describe about  Cinjing Veterans farm.  The green green grass, (oh... I am humming to the song The Green Green Grass of Home while typing this, *wink*), coupled with its amazing spectacular scenery and the beauty of God's creation, is definitely worthwhile to visit. We can easily get close to the animals there such as goats, sheep, etc.





On the same day, we went uphill to visit Old England and had our afternoon tea. This traditional English Mansion with its white marble facade, gigantic clock at the main tower is indeed a majestic and sight to behold.

The most expensive minsu (homestay) in Taiwan.  Only guests are allowed to explore the interior of this exquisite mansion. Guards are stationed at the entrance. The entrance to the grand dinning hall is so stunningly and beautifully decorated.  One word, GORGEOUS!!



There is only one standard set of afternoon tea catered for curious visitors. Our booking already done by our E-xcel.





Our pot of English tea came together with the appetizer; a three-tier stand stacked with delectable English desserts.  What an irresistible and delightful English  afternoon tea!!

The Old England give us the unforgetable experience. It's a must visit to this beautiful heritage.

Next, we proceeded to Yilan. Here we had a chance to visit National Art Center and Puppet Show. The performing arts mimic the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness of our life. The performance with the accompaniment of music, folk songs , dances and acrobats is truly an eye-opener to first timers.




From Yilan, we proceeded to Shifen.  If you have wishes that have yet to be fulfilled, it is believed that this is the best place to send our wishes to heaven. At Shifen old street, locals as well as tourists release sky lanterns. It's a fun experience.  It's indeed thrilling being able to write your wishes on the lantern which would carry your prayers to the sky (direct courier service to heaven... )





Releasing Sky Lantern is so popular that thousand of people gather for an anual Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival every 15th day of the Lunar New Year.




Lastly I wish to share some very interesting and creative signboard of this particular restaurant.  We had our lunch here. Notice all the drawings on this signboard???  What do you see?



This restaurant is very unique. They use recyclable  items to build their restaurant structures. Just feel that I should share this unique restaurant with my fellow readers.








We had our concert show and it was Zhou Hwa Jian's (Emil Chau's) concert!  What a remarkable and satisfying  live concert of my idol, EMIL CHAU *wink* hahha.... Look at some of the photos that I had taken.


My idol, Emil Chau, performing for us.... specially for E-Excel !  Feel so proud and blessed!!!

Thanks E-excel for such a memorable and awesome trip to Taiwan!!

During our gala dinner, we were also being entertained to the local traditional stage show and we too enjoyed the games being organised specially for us.  What an enjoyable and memorable night!!!
It was indeed an awesome incentive trip for all E-excel members!!!  Thumbs up to E-excel!!!


Even though I am not in the top successful list of E-excel but honestly speaking I do enjoy helping the sick regain their health and also helping people to earn extra income.  There are many testimonials on how E-excel products have done wonders to those suffering from Dengue fever and early stage cancer patients.   If you are interested to help people, earning extra income and at the same time enjoying what I am doing now, please do not hesitate to leave your comments in the comment box or email me at doraling1@gmail,com.  I will get back to you as soon as possible.
