I'm back with a long post! And yup, i had an enjoyable trip over at REDANG island! I felt so relaxed to be able to spend my time just listening to the sound of waves, playing on the white sandy beach and SNORKELING in the clear blue sea (plus lots of eatings over there of course). There, we got to see some really tall corals, and though most corals are dead, we can still spot some livings and moving ones. The fishies are really really cute and i'm so happy to be able to swim among them. They're so well trained now that to them, tourists mean food. So they'll come swimming towards you and eat your hair thinking its seaweed, or come banging into my olympus camera thinking that its bread. So cute right?! haha I'll post my underwater photos up here soon once i've sorted them out.
We stayed at redang holidays resort, which takes the form of a wooden chalet; so, i spent most of my time walking barefooted everywhere! I like walking barefooted and being able to feel the nature beneath my feet. It just feels good(:
We had little free time in between those snorkeling trips....where we'll rush to the buffet side to eat our fill, and then get down to the beach! So, instead of lying down under the sunny sun to suntann, i took a walk down the long stretch of the beach to take a look at what's on the other side. And, haha its just another long stretch round the turn after i've walked like 1 hour down. But at least i saw that there are many other resorts alongside offering different kinds of watersports like kayaking, diving....and some really cool restaurants and pubs. If i do get a chance to go back there again, i don't mind spending some money there for a cool experience. And, they rent really good underwater cameras for RM60 per day. Gonna need it to take some quality shots. We didn't rent it probably because i had my olympus that can take pictures underwater too. But of course it wouldn't have been as good as the underwater cams they rent.
Anyway, my trip with the 3girls was fun!!! Our first snorkeling trip started out with a hilarious incident where yizhen dropped my camera within the 5minutes that we just jumped down into the sea. It was when we were just done with wearing our snorkeling mask properly that the first thing we saw is my sinking camera beneath us. Haha that was like OMG its sooo deep how are we going to get it?! So i went to 'beg' some guys for help where he can dive down to get it back for us. Of course he can dive since he's a reef cleaner. But he got a sea cucumber back up too and started throwing it at us and scaring the freak out of us!! That was a black slimy thing with yellow green polka dots on it and it looks sooo freaking gross. But we got our camera back still (:
And we screamed a lot. Ok, back to snorkeling....we saw NEMOS!! But its smaller than i thought it was after watching the movie: finding nemos. They're really really cute and i felt like touching them but its too deep for that. We attempted to take protrait photos in the water too but we all ended up laughing and burping out bubbles instead of biting the snorkling stick properly. :B So other than taking photos and snorkeling, we're probably just irritating each other throughout the trip. Things like yizhen and i kept laughing at siping about her cute round toes; and the ferry 'calling out' to her: PING PING, when it gives out some signals....hahaha. And us laughing at siping when she got all so drenched in the salty seawater on our way back and its all written on her face that she'd just bathed and wants to be clean all the way before she reaches home....but now her hair has sooo much salt in it and we had to wait for 20 more hours before we can get home. LOL! And her spoiling 3 toilet flushes that we can't use the toilet after her. And us asking her to go claim another bandito at kfc with our number23 tag (as punishment for her choking the only clean toilet at kfc that we found, and that the dumb malay girl gave me a number 23 tag though she'd already given me my full bandito meal) where siping managed to con a bandito from kfc :D there's many many more and and and incidents but i can't recall them at the moment.
All in all, i simply love the clear blue water there, the fine sandy beach, the cute colorful fishies, the malay style buffets, the wooden chalet, those nice cute friendly chatty people at the resort, and us girls! 4 girls on a trip- The only bad thing is that all 4 of us jumped and hid on our beds when we spotted a cockroach crawling around in our room! AH!
My only regret was that i didn't have enough time to explore the place. Ohh and that the sun didn't come out on the day we waited for sunrise since waking up at 430am. Its the thick blanket of clouds that covered it from view. But its ok....i'll find another chance to catch my sunrise over at Singapore. Though the sun is with us 365.25 days a year, i've never really taken my time to watch it rise beautifully in the morning.
hmmm, some unhappy things did happen during the trip too but i'll just forget about them and remember only the good memories. Thanks yizhen for planning the trip that everything went so well and thanks siping and wenting for going on this trip together!!! Let's go for more together next time k ?!
ps: i bought some seashells over there! :DD and a rainbow kite!
