places where turtles laid their eggs...

this is the 2nd part of the Rantau Abang Beach Cleanup Escapade..

woke up at 7am, then te-tido balik, before fully awaken by 8.45am..just nice for breakfast time :) everybody started to wake up, and by 9am, had breakfast..
btw, the place where we are staying, it was D'Pengkalan Resort..a budget hotel, but world-class quality service..
back to breakfast, Uncle Razali (the owner), menjamu kami dgn Nasi Dagang..can you believe it? makan nasi dagang di kala pagi hari.hehe..nasi dagang+sayur acar+ikan berkuah..
after breakfast, azam, metesh n i decided to ber-kayak..huhu..lama sey tak berkayak nih..nothing much to say about kayak, except that the view is breathtaking jugak laa..it was like the whole swamp belongs to you :p
meanwhile, oza n wong went to pasar, while zura n anaz took their time driving leisurely along the coastal road of Terengganu..

after kayak, we decided that we shud "scout" the area that we need to cleanup later on that evening..the sun was right above us..we went to the beach, and my GOD, the sand was hot!! luckily got a small shade (more like a small hut) lepak2 there with Metesh and Azam..and borak2 about PROMUDA thingy hehe..

highlights of the time:- me bermandi-manda di Rantau Abang for the 1st time! :p time tghari buta pulak tuh...the weather was very hot, yet when i bermain-main di dalam air, everything seems to be cold n just nice..

then Farih arrived, and we had our lunch..can't remember what is the menu, but it was very delicious!! hehe...
after lunch, everybody suddenly felt very tired..together with my newly-found friend (a John Grisham's book: Runaway Jury), i went to the raft next to the swamp, and read to myself a bedtime story..after approximately of 3 pages, dozed off...the pelampung became my bantal..it was very peaceful..

later that evening, everyone was so psyched up to start cleaning up the beach..
highlights :- anaz, zura, and wong wore clothes that really resembles immigrants or construction workers..hehe..full set of gloves, and the brownish hats..ala, yg biasa pekebun pakai tuh..hehehe

the beach was very dirty...there were several parts that have been cleaned up previously by other groups, but the rest...sampah merata-rata..there were bottles, lightsabers (lampu kalimantang), bottles, picagari, bottles, polystrenes..and have i mentioned bottles before?
since dah lama sgt tak buat keja2 camni, tetibe je sakit belakang huhu..buat malu kompeni je..
highlights:- "oza, aku rasa aku tau kenapa penyu dah tak landing kat sini dah...sebab kat sini banyak 'doktor'.." i uttered those words time tgh kutip sampah..jumpa bnyk "syringe"/picagari..
lepas abis kutip sesampah, as usual, i tros terjun masuk laut..*sigh* hehe..the nikmat of bermandi-manda

time maghrib, while waiting for the fire to mula di-pasang (we were having BBQ), went for a walk to the nearest petrol station with Metesh..

had BBQ...as usual, i just cannot resist the temptation of "membakar" ayam, ikan, sotong, burger dan hotdog..hehe..then Metesh asked me, "bet, how about BBQ-ing the salads?"...

How to BBQ-ing salads
1) wrap the salad ingredients in an aluminium foil
2) put it on fire for about half an hour
3)ready to serve
p/s: the BBQed salad was quite good :)
