redang II
i will never forget...
+ golden mile complex
thriving with thais, backpackers, grimy nooks and corners. a whole different world there.
+ crazy coach ride (complete with freezing temperatures)
almost got me hurling out of my seat, scaring the shit outta me after i had already fallen asleep. the endless bumps, humps and honkings. terrifying speed and curves. think initial d II: malaysia.
+ my first snorkel
where i gulped/inhaled mouthfuls of saltwater fortified with several thousand denizens of marine microorganisms and plankton at the same time. limbs thrashing around in a mild state of panic. watery eyes burning from the contact. runny nose. constant spluttering and discharge of phlegm-coated saliva into the sea which i'm utterly in remorse for. i was an absolute dreadful sight to behold. the fishes must have all dived away in fear of this pollutive waste-spewing generator. desperately trying to get used to the snorkel mask and breathing through the mouth at all times.
+ countless hilarious encounters with the guys
ahchen's ambush farting on everything sky's. shitting sessions after every meal. or rather, mid-meal consumption of watermelon/honeymelon/papaya. how our toilet bowl got stuck with shit. how we smuggled bread from the breakfast table to feed the fish only to realise later on that stale dried bread feed would be given. swimming with floating bits of bread all around. the guys' intense poker card games. the smelly beer forfeit. sky's fantastically pert butt captured in a zillion underwater shots. sky washing his trunks of sand in the kids' pool slide. the endless crapping and jokes they make. and many more.
+ azure crystal clear waters
zero rubbish. no oil spills. it was more than breathtaking. aside from goofball's reassuring presence, it was the only thing that awed me to calmness while snorkelling. it's magnificent to find shoals of fishes swimming around you once you popped your head in. that feeling is just pure magic. that another world exists in one different from yours. the currents made it easy to swim. the fine sand remain in pretty patterned ridges in water and soothes the feet. after redang, who gives a hoot abt sentosa? and ecp is nothing man. eurgh
+ the butt-numbing/vibrating boat ride
sat at the back of the boat cruising to the snorkel sites. which at first rattled our butts off. and then later numbed it. and made us feel like shitting. lol.
+ rooms 609 and 610
hilarious time choosing rooms. which ended up with lester and hongkai having the envious luxury of owning 610 all by themselves whilst sky/ahchen/tanny/me cramped into 609. still, we got the spectacular view and a cosy time. =P the green and red aircon buttons we mistook for heater. lol.
+ banana boat!
the highlight of the whole damn trip. the white foam of crashing waves splattering on us as we darted abt on the deep blue sea. we fell a total of 6 times i think. goofball sat behind me all the time so i was kicked around by him for the first fall. the second one he gave me a near concussion. damn groggy when i popped my head out of the waters. the rest were laughing away. felt like crying then already. lester was sweet and astute to ask if i was ok. haha. so i have this huge blossoming purple bruise on my left shin. which translates into ugly gams for uc chiong night. but it's ok no big deal. my tankini bottom slipped off some a couple times while goofball's one did and exposed his erm *toot*! lol.
+ the yummy mealtimes at buffet restaurant
our schedule there was basically eat, play, bathe, eat, sleep. it was really relaxing and laidback. switched off my mobile so no one could reach me there.
+ animals
the brown squirrels! cute with oranged-tipped tails. familiar with the locals there. i feel like keeping one as pet now. the monkeys that roamed the resort rooms like nobody's business. the huge tiger moths that hung at the most unexpected corners. freaked by grasshoppers whizzing around the stone trail path. ahchen caught a huge one and tried to sneak it into goofball's shirt from behind. needless to say, i screamed and ran away.
+ recreation center
the locals who speak funny english. the horrendous karaoke renditions at mo mo cha shop. nice friendly ppl who tried to rip us off. and they did, with the underwater snorkel pics. played carrom for the first time and i sucked terribly. lol. much to the amusement of the guys.
+ the underwater "ilu"s written on our palms.
+ you
for sticking with me when i got hysterically panicky as we drifted to the boundaries. for calming me down. for being my rock. for pushing me down hard so i could touch the corals. for never leaving me alone like you promised. for all the special moments. for always being there whenever i reach for you. for this trip would not be half as fun without you.
my pics are up on multiply
will post the guys' share later
once we are done compiling.
gonna spend the rest of the day packing
uc'05 4-9 july
