Until today, I still sigh longingly when I think of our Redang vacation. I can't help but pity people who feels like that place is not worth a visit, simply because of the long and supposedly tiring journey. They simply miss out on the fun and excitement of the island.

I love beaches. Even when we were still dating, I'd always made Amin bring me to the beach in Penang. I'd be contented just sitting around, enjoying the touch of warm breeze against my face and listening to the sound of waves splashing. One of the best thing I like about being at the beach is that all worries are forgotten, everytime. It's guaranteed, at least for me.

Thus, considering the fact that I am an islander myself, I never thought that I could get giddy with pleasure from the simple act of gazing at the sea. Nevertheless, the many many shades of blue and green of the Redang ocean left me wanting for more. I can't help but say this again after hundreds of time, Redang is the Island I'd recommend you to go for a relaxing vacation. The freshness of the air, and the virgin forest and sea was just splendour. Even when everyone else were fast asleep in the ferry on our way to the Island, I had squatted on the seat to look out at the breathtaking scene before me. (I had to squat on the seat as the windows were a tad too high for me..*wink wink*). Amin of coz, was sleeping soundly along with everyone else.

As we arrived earlier than the check-in time, Amin and I decided to stretch out at the beach. One of the very first thing I noticed about the beach is the fineness of the sand, and how pasty white they were. I took off my shoes and my feet simply sink into the sand with much pleasure.

The second day of our stay, we went snorkelling. The boat trip was quite unpleasant, both of us were quiet seasick due to the heavy swaying. But once we got into the cool water and started to swim around and gazed at the beautiful corals and colourful fishes, we kinda forgotten it all. The fishes were quite tamed, swimming around us in that friendly manner. Amin even saw Nemos among those other marine life. Alas, I got tired and wanted to go back to the boat after almost half an hour in the water.

(There was this incident that happened when we were snorkelling, but I'd have to get Amin's permission before I can write about it in here. Hehe..a funny one I tell you. Ayu, I'm sure you would love to hear about it. *wink wink*)

I felt like our 3days 2nights at the island simply wasn't enough. I definitely would love to go back there once the opportunity present itself. *hubby, it's a hint*

Till then, I guess I'd just have to be satisfied with memories of it.
