Redang!

Amazing how when you are enjoying yourself, tan and sunburn apparently are not as bad as you think.

In fact, I think I enjoyed being in Redang so much that I was actually thinking I don't mind being as tanned as the snorkelling instructors there if I get to spend so much time at the sea.

Going to Redang was, well, a long bus ride. 8 hours of bus ride, almost 2 hours of ferry ride. But it was all worth it in the end! The sight that greeted us was so freaking awesome! Endless stretch of blue green sea, clear blue sky with white puffy clouds, and soft sand.

Three days and two nights were just not enough. I enjoyed snorkelling, though poor Chibi-san and Enyi were being held hostages by me most of the time. The corals and fishes were an interesting sight to behold, and drifting and floating with the life jacket could be scarily fun.

Kayaking was awesome! Despite not having any arm strength to make the kayak move and my paranoia (Sorry, Denise-sama!), it was still an amazing thing to do. The waves that rocked the boat, the sky and sea that seemed endless, the magnificent eagle that soared and gave us a cheap thrill. Lol. It was just fun.

I regretted not having enough time to chill and relax on the beach. Despite giving up a snorkelling trip, I still did not manage to have some time to just sit on the beach and enjoy the sunshine. I deeply regretted not having the chance to chill on the hammock while reading a book, with the sun warming and baking my skin. Not to mention I was so busy playing at the sea that I didn't even have time to check out if there are any hot guys there!

Oh well, at least I got to spend time with my EL mates. It's sad that we are all going our own separate ways, and basically I'm just trying not to think too much about it because it makes me emo. But, really, it's only the second day that I'm back from Redang and I already miss them.

Just one saja. We had three snorkelling trips. I went on two. The last one I didn't want to go cos thought wanna chill on the beach. Mana tau I was too tired and went to nap. By the time I finished napping my friends came back from the last snorkelling trip ady, so we went kayaking after that. Finished kayaking, dinner time ady. :(
