On the bus Kuala Terranganu- Cherating

Our Chalet. I quite like the decor lah...but I hate the bed....
The beach. The shore line thigh-deep for at least 500m
Mission 1: bury qz..

Mission 1: Saving NEMO!!!!!

No seafood tonight! It's Italian...
I totally love our next destination, Cherating!!! It's 3/4 way between Kuala Terranganu and Kuantan.
Cherating is only for the slackers and nua-ers. Perehentian for the poseurs. Took us about 3 hours to get there. The bus dropped us at a bus stop off the main road and we walked in. Marched past this place called "The shadow of the moon at half past 4". It's a bar-cum-lodging place. Would have loved to stay there but it's a little too far from the beach. When we were there, it's not the tourist season yet. Basically, it's quite a dead place. Other than a group of angmohs, we are probably the only other group of tourists in that town. We probably took like one hour to find a good place to stay. Hahaha...we are tired of shabby places BUT WE WANT CHEAP BEDS TOO! wahahaha...finally settled down at this resort called Riverside Resort. It's newly renovated, cost us about rm$40 for a double room. It looks good lah...hehe.. but that night, I got bitten by those weird creatures of the night damn badly. Yes, they left a lot of scars on my body.
We washed up a bit, hang our clothes out to dry and went to the beach!!! THE BEACH WAS AWESOME. (though the sand is not white like perehentian) It's shoreline just never ends. Probably have to walk out like 1km before you will be totally submerged. hahaha.... the guys walked out pretty far, while jilei and I settled down on this sand bay. When the guys came to join us, we found little NEMO and the civil engineer among us got all the banglahs to work by digging a canal for litttle NEMO to swim back to sea. hahaha....damn ridiculous. Then there's of cos burying qz, that civil engineer shitting & whole lot of nonsense with the sand. wahahah....it was really hilarious when jilei tried to toppled qz into the sea...hahaha....cmi...if you ever want to topple someone...please don't tell to climb on top of that person...Rocking the base aka the legs is the surest method... it started to rain after an hour or so, we went back to the chalet to wash up, EXCEPT JOHN. That dirty boy. After that, we went over to this travel operator and booked ourselves 2 tours. A firefly cruise at night and a trip to a cave and waterfall the next day. Subsequently, it's nearly dinner time!! YEAH!!! TONIGHT WE WENT ITALIAN!!!! 4 plates or pastas, a pizza and a lot of mossie bites later, we were all ready for our firefly cruise. Damn fun!! It wasn't really about the fireflies. It got a boring after a while. hahaha...then they started to bombard the guide with questions like why he refused to let us go near certain spots with lotsa fireflies. SO there's those yellow and black mangrove snakes lurking around. We saw a couple of them after he pointed them out to us....hahaha...towards the returning part of the trip, weizhi and qz impressed us with their knowledge of astronomy. Haha..yeah, it's a clear night. We saw a shooting star too!!! oh well, I must say, I enjoyed cherating the most so far...it's really relaxing and very fun.
