Haven't been thinking much recently, since I've either been working, out, or sleeping. Oh yes, we went to Redang!!! Siaoyi, Vivien, Weiling and I went there for a vacation from 22-24th March~ In case anyone knows it better by its Chinese name, it's called 热浪岛. Lol I wouldn't say I had a lot of fun there, 'cause 2 full days were too damn short. All we did was to eat (buffet style HAHA, damn crazy), sun
Well, under the category of swimming there's snorkelling, and that must have been the highlight of the trip. Through that I kinda discovered my phobia of fish being too close though. The water there is really clear, no kidding, and you can see every single thing around you. By the second (and last) snorkelling trip we learnt to bring bread as an attraction for fish, but WOAH MAN it's freaking terrifying.... for me at least. The fish come up to you in SCHOOLS ok, and your entire vision is just of fishes. I really hate fish scales so I think that's why I was so uncomfortable with having them so close. Otherwise, we saw Nemo (though I don't think we saw Dory). Weiling got to hold a Nemo in her hands!!!! It was damn cute. This funny guy, one of the resort staff, kept kachiao-ing us but it's thanks to him we got to see the clownfish so close, and learn of a few interesting things as well.
One instance was the blue sand, which we didn't know about until he told us. There's this small stretch of beach on one side of the island, where at night, you can find isolated grains of 'sand' which glow in the dark, in blue. It's really pretty and Vivien and I kidnapped one, LOL. We're not supposed to of course, since every single natural thing on the island is protected, so after fascinating over it we returned it to the sand. It's apparently some sea insect/organism, perhaps with similar features to the firefly? The blue glow dies out if you remove it from the sand, so Vivien and I balled it in some sand while we were looking at it. It's my favourite memory of there I think, just staring at that small speck of wonder.
I must mention the food as well, since it took up a major part of our vacation! The buffet is decent considering it's provided, so we pretty much stuffed ourselves omglol. There's like traditional Malay cuisine, some Chinese/Western/Italian food, desserts, and fruits. I avoided the Chinese dishes in general, oops. And then every time we returned to our room, we'd be eating snacks............. Chips and more chips, codfish strips, etc ;/ Lol unhealthy max.
YAWNOKAYIAMDAMNSLEEPY I think that's pretty much what's to be mentioned of the trip, time to sleep. Goodnighttttttttttttt.
