Terengganu was goooooooooood! Sort of a holiday plus a non-stressful meet. The moments from where we waited for each other (swimmates) to arrive at the Skypark Subang Terminal to sitting in the plane to checking in at Primula Beach Resort to having buffet breakfast and dinner together to everything were just amazingly undescribable. It was a really good trip and we had really good bonding moments together. We had lots of fun, despite of the fact that we had no choice but to walk to wherever we wanted to go. Luckily, Primula Beach Resort was located only a stone's throw away from Pusat Akuatik Kuala Terengganu. It took us about 5 minutes to get there.
I woke up at approximately 4.30 in the morning on Friday as the departure time is at 7am. And I'm car pooling with a friend of mine. He's house is in Subang, therefore I had to catch the early bird. We waited for everyone else at the Subang terminal and just when it was finally time for us to check in at the departure gate, one of my friend was being stopped because he forgot to bring his identity card. How careless of him, when previously, the team manager has already sent out reminders about the trip! Not that we're selfish but we couldn't care much but to get on the plane first to avoid anymore delay that might cause us to miss the flight. He then had to fill in some forms and finally he got on board.
On Saturday, we had to wake up early at around 6.15 to get ourselves ready, take the breakfast and walk to the pool for the meet. The pool was clean. It was breezy and cooling there because of the seaside located nearby. It was a one day meet so all the events were running at quite a high speed. There were barely enough time for us to rest and to get ready for the next event. However, I managed to get 4 silver and 1 bronze after all despite having a swollen ankle and sore, aching muscles on my calves. In fact, everyone else did a very good job too! Our club came in third for overall though we didn't have many swimmers participating.
Sunday was more of a last minute shopping day. Early in the morning, the boys had a football match by the beach. Most of them injured themselves by putting their heart in the game and playing all out. Its a good thing that there was no serious injuries. Then a few of them went for last minute shopping at the market. They bought souvenirs and they actually got attracted to soft toy turtles. We ended up having one each and holding them in our hands through the journey home. That's about all. I got to say Terengganu has many breathtaking sceneries!
