Funny parts of Redang trip... ♥
7:46 PM
Let's start about the resort.
The location of our resort is where they film the "Summer Holiday" Movie AKA Xia Ri Mo Mo Cha.
Hence, it was made famous by that show.
So, to honor it, the resort dedicated a channel to that movie.
Meaning, the movie will repeat and repeat in that channel 24/7.
Which also mean, the 3 of us has watched countless time of that movie in bits and pieces.
Next up, will be the beautiful beach.
The water is crystal clear and beach is white.
So, 1 fine day after snorkelling in the sea, we went to snorkel by the beach.
We also decided to bring along fish food AKA bread to attract the fishes.
The funny part was, initially the 3 of us was very excited till the moment we saw how the fishes eat the bread and how Val's hand got nibbled by the fishes.
So, we decided to change the way we feed the fishes from holding the bread with our hands to,
throwing bits of bread into the sea to feed them.
But it also mean, the fishes started following everywhere we go as they know we are providing them with food.
Next up is about snorkelling.
As Joc and I had never try snorkelling before this, hence, the 2 of us is abit scare despite being very excited.
When we snorkelled for the first time, the divers there did not teach us how to wear the goggles and snorkel.
Therefore the honor went to Val since she has past experience.
But somehow the goggles does not fit us and we had to keep adjusting up till the last snorkel trip we had.
So, you will see Joc and me snorkel for a while, rest and adjust our goggles and snorkel again.
Another interesting thing we had in mind was our first snorkel trip out to the sea.
At first, the 3 of us was just floating around the sea trying to look for fish or coral.
As we don't know about the place, so we saw nothing.
Until 2 divers which is also our lifeguard decided to guide us along by holding our hands and bringing us to snorkel at interesting places.
We were divided into 2 with Joc and me with the same diver and Val alone with the other.
The thing is, we brought along disposable waterproof camera and the camera somehow end up with the diver that took Joc and Me.
And he was very nice to keep helping us take pictures with corals and sea cucumbers.
Which also means, Val got lesser or no pics with corals at all.
Lolx.
Made her abit sore whenever we talked about it.
Then, the next embarrassing part is about me.
On our last snorkel trip which is also out to the sea, onboard got alot of people as they arrived for the first day and was very excited.
Hence, at that very trip, the resort people was very nice to prepare buoys with string attached at the back of the boat for people to hang on if they are scare.
But it became the "saving" tool for me.
Because it was the first time for those people to snorkel.
So, quite a number of them, leave the boat and got up after awhile as quoted from them,"Very scary, those that cannot swim should not go down."
When the 3 of us heard that, we were like... =.=
And so, not many people were in the sea.
Even there were people in the sea, they will scream for help, so the divers have to go save them.
Initially when we were in the sea, my "special friend" brought us to go see see around the sea.
After awhile, some people scream for help, so no choice have to save them.
But by then, we were quite far out in the sea and away from the boat.
Plus, the current that day was quite strong.
And when the the boat signal for us to return, we were like swimming our head out to go back.
Although we swam past many people that were too tired to swim back, I was still the last to go back onboard.
As a boat was sent out to fetch the "wandering" people.
Joc and Val were better swimmer than me, hence, I was left last wandering alone in the sea far from the boat when they already got up.
Luckily, got 1 macho diver with his flippers come and save me!
Haha~
Then, when I reach near the buoy, He asked me to hold on to the string and slowly go back by myself while he go see got anybody else.
But I think I was really too slow because I saw one of the boat driver come and pull the string and pull me back faster.
So, I was like taking dolphins like that back to boat.
Super fun, funny and also embarrassing as everyone was staring at me.
Haha~
I think that's about all.
I'll post up more if I remember.
