Malaysia (Redang)

An EXTREMELY LATE entry cos Im still busy as ever.. Note the word, its "busy" not "lazy"..I thought of narrating everything but I think synopses will do.

I really like to put lots of pics here but due to space, and the horrendous time needed to upload, I will only choose the best from now.
--------------------------------------
Condesation of three days in one... Btw the stay was at Lang Tengah resort, for those who are interested.

Photos on the trip (some of the better ones)







The beaches were good. Water was transparent and full of corals (dead corals but corals nonetheless). The rock jacuzzi area was the vantage point for all pics of the sun and more, as can be observed. Snorkelling was an awesome eye-opener to how cool scuba-diving could be. Luckily for me the resort I stayed in had the better waters, despite the horrible food.

Shit happens.. Some kid was shitting in his pants and happened to leave a mark on my sandal. It was such a coincidence that I was nicknaming him "The New Kid on the Block" when this happened. New shit kid.

One revelation. Snorkelling in the sea allowed me to be one with the ocean. Its really quite a nice place to live in, given oxygen and absolutely nothing to pollute. Now I know how Atlantis folk feel. And the fish were just great kissers, pecking on myself and other snorkellers when we stood still.

We collected many seashells


Some of the marine wildlife... The black horseshoe like thing is a sea cucumber and the orange thing is a live coral. The crab is obvious. I almost snapped an octopus but it squirmed deep into the rocks. All these were snapped at night in low tide (I just love my camera for being able to take such shots..!!)

There was one night where the low tide was tremendously low, so low that there were two beaches with a mini enclave of water in between them. That was a sight not to forget...

Basically this is the gist of my Msia trip to one of their most pristine islands. Where the water is really transparent. I wanna go back again, and this time Im going on a cruise there. The 13hr bus ride was a PITA, literally.

The pics are really wonderful and for those who wanna see more pics, pls let me know and I will try to make it happen. Meanwhile I hope the thots of a vacation island are starting to manifest in readers' minds, cos I hope to return there soon.
