After the long wait, we finally managed to set our feet on the white smooth sand of Lang Tengah island. The flight from Subang Airport was smooth and certainly felt less hassled than flying from LCCT with AirAsia. Probably it is due to tiny crowd and easier access? Uncle was kind enough to send us to Merang for boat transfer, so we saved some dough for taxi to and fro. We reached Lang Tengah itself around 1pm and took our lunch before napping. Around 3:30pm, we went for the snorkelling trip. I am not sure whether it is because the underwater scenery isn’t that great or we had dived before and snorkelling couldn’t satisfy our desier anymore, we felt bored! So we decided that we must dive on our next island trip!
Honestly, Lang Tengah is a far more quiet place than Redang and Perhentian, so there is actually not much to do except lazing on the beach or explore the jungle treks. We walked around the place (from east wing to west wing of the resort separated by a short jungle path) and rested on the beach before dinner time. The post dinner leisure for that night was catching up with our reading.
On the 2nd day, we planned to take a 5am hike to catch the breathtaking sunrise, but alas the weather was ‘kind’ enough to let us continue our sleep. We only managed to explore the trek after breakfast. It took us only about 30 minutes to reach the cliff but i can imagine the eeriness to walk through there in the dark! Anyhow, the view was pretty nice too on any fine day. We loitered and took photos there for a while before a group of uncivilized people came and spoil the quiet morning. For the rest of the day, we actually did nothing more than taking photos, sleep, reading and lepaking
There was a nice spot just in front of our resort on the rocks and we spent quite sometimes there to do silly stuff!
Again, we were determined to experience the sunrise moment (managed to gather more people the night before), but again, the weather showed us lightning and thunder which meant that even if we went, we wouldn’t see anything good. While waiting for the boat to go back, we could only continue the usual activities: taking photos, sleep, reading and lepaking.
We spent the next one and half day at Auntie house in Terengganu, enjoying her cooking and fun company. Bier wanted to get a old-fashion bag so we visited Pasar Payang. End of story.
The reviews didn’t bluff us. Lang Tengah is a serious place to relax, relax and only relax. If you are a happening person, don’t bother to come. For me, i am alright with both sides and a vacation with bier is always wonderful. There were times when i felt damn bored, but there were also times when I was glad that I came. I believe bier enjoyed herself very much and will be more superb if we get to dive. Next year we go dive ya bier, i promise!
p/s: Oh! we saw a baby shark swam by on the last day, and that was one exciting moment!
