i absolutely love redang.
the travelling sucked so much, but redang made it all worth it, really. the place is what MY paradise looks like, except my paradise is not so commercialized and full of pple i do not know.
the sea is soooo blue and clear in redang. the sand is goddam soft and the place is juz fabulous, and the scenery is juz breathtaking.
the first day at redang, we juz swam in the sea, floating around and enjoying the sun on our skin, and salt on our tongues. it felt so wonderful to be relieved of so many things and juz enjoy the time and nature. we were all so excited when serm spotted some small fishes in the water. we walked down the beach at nite and ventured into other resorts' beaches. talked and watched the stars.
we went snorkelling out at marine park the next day and saw lots more fishes. different kinds of fish like promfets, and urm, lotsa other breeds-i-dunno-what. i felt pretty disgusted at first when i saw so many schools of fishes big and small. UGH, those scaley fishes. the corals were mostly dead according to hatta cuz they were all brown and colorless. the current swept some of us out of the boundary and we didn't even realized it until eunice hit the rocks near a cliff. snorkelling got quite boring after that.
BUT the highlight was, we went back to snorkel in the resort's beach and i saw 6 baby sharks out in the deeper waters!! the feeling was exhilarating. at first i spotted only 2, and then slowly one by one joined in and the baby sharks were juz circling in the deep water. the only sharks i saw in my life were those in the sentosa's underwater world, wisma's aquarium and airport's aquariums. seeing those baby sharks in real life, and swimming in the same sea as em was really more than juz good.
it was really sad that we had to leave redang on the 3rd day. i wish i could stay there for another 2 days of forever. i love the place so much. the boat trip back to terengannu mainland was long, but i didn't want it to end. i love the sun, sea, and sand.
but i won't go back to redang again cuz the travelling's really tiring. maybe i'll go to bintan or tioman or bali next.
i miss redang.
