Yup, I am back, to continue the story started yesterday. Now where was I...?

Oh ya, about celebrating Stacy's 20th birthday. Then nothing fun happeden. Yix wanted to smash the chocolate cheese cake into her face, but I think I sort of adviced him against doing it. Choc and cheese all in one leh!!! How can he waste it on Stacy's face instead of letting us eat it???! In the end only one slice was used in a mini food fight, btw Max, Stacy and dunno who. Forget le. Luckily I was not involved. Dun wan my clothes to be stained with choc =p

Then it was a boring end to our first night at Redang, ended by sleeping the night away. I always thought that sleeping is a waste of time, esp so when you are young. I mean, com'on, y waste your time sleeping your youth off when u get all the time u wanna sleep next time when u die?? By then, u can't even wake up if u wanted to, so y rush sleeping now? Leave sleeping till when u r old and haggared and cannot do much everyday other than slp eat drink and wait for your turn to die la. Now, when u r young and energetic, use all the time to enjoy your life!!! Your youth dun come a second time leh. So when u r old and cannot walk and sick and need someone to help u even with your toilet business, u would be regretting not having fun when u r young and healthy and alive... But wad to do, they wanna slp, and I cannot do anything alone, so lan lan, slp lor =(

Second day highlight was a trip to a marine conservation park. Had to pay RM5 for the entrance fee. But nvm la, since we had nv been there before, pple dun mind paying. It was about the same as the snorkelling site on the 1st day, except that there are more corals, both alive and dead, here at the conservation park. Bad thing is, water is shallow, and if u r not careful, u might cut yourself on the corals. That is the small matter, cutting yourself. Big thing, as the guide said, is killing the corals when u kick it. I think yix kenna quite a couple of times, on the dead corals, cos he was busy feeding bread to the fish and did not take note that the water we were in was shallow. Mel managed to spot a morray eel under the jetty and apparently there was a gigantic grouper which we did not see. We did see the eel though, and the face was pretty ugly. It was hiding in a hole amongst the corals and u actually had to go deeper to see it. However, the current was pretty strong and we did not manage to get vv close. I think yix managed to snap a shot of the eel with the disposable camera that he bought there.

Although I am a certified diver, I think my swimming skill sucks big. Normally pple can tread water for pretty long before they tire out (not mentioning pple like mel who tread water so effortlessly). I tire pretty fast cos I gotta kick pretty hard to stay afloat. If I just kick normally, I can only keep the top of my head above the water level. Then like that how to breathe?? Even though I can swim in the sea without a life jacket, I feel safer to bring one along in case I need to tread water and got tire out from doing so. =(

The rest of the day after the conservation park trip was spent tanning with the girls and ty and ade. Me and yix was actaully playing ultimate frisbee with the 2 ladies, but there were some rocks in the beach on the rock and it was kinda dangerous. So in the end, me and ty played frisbee in the water. It was fun in the water, cos u can actually dive for the frisbee when it gets close without fear of breaking your ribs or rubbing your skin off. The rest just lie there and laze the time away. How sian...

In the end, someone came up with the idea to taupok max, and somehow he come to know about it, but we still succeed in the end. Photoes are with ade, shall upload when I get it from ty next time.

Night time was boring. Thought that the disco at laguana is supposed to be the highlight of the night, but after sending the 2 girls with stacy on recee, they said that there is nothing there and only karaoke and 小猫两三只. So in the end did nothing and go back to room and sleep... More sian than the first night!!! Wad the hell...

The next morning woke up at 0645 to wash up and get bf. Then off to the jetty to leave Redang. Something dramatic happened at the jetty though... Max wanted to wash off the sands trapped in his sandles at the jetty, then walked off a slope to the edge of the water to wash. Apparently the slope was overgrown with mosses and that made it super slippery. So he landed on his ass and enjoyed a short slide into the water. Stacy, seeing this, went down to help him up, but got a free slide as well. So in the end they left the island with a bum full of sand. And as if that wasn't enough, Stacy actually dropped Max's wallet into the sea. Some kind soul trying to help tried to get the floating wallet back with his leg, ended up kicking it into the water and it started sinking. Then one of the Redang staff got a mask and dived down to god knows how deep and.. ... ... managed to retrieve the wallet!! Damn zai! That actually changed my impression I have on malays, and I told that to Mel. That fucker actually said " Huh? But that is the only thing that they are good at wad!" Na beh...

The boring boat ride took slightly more than 1 hour, and managed to take a pic with Yee, the guide on the island. Taught me some malayu too, as his eng is not good and so is my malay. Shall write it down in case I forget.

Moon -- bolum
Star -- bintan
Sand -- pasih
Coconut -- kelapur
bath -- murai (think so)
then the rest foeget le. All about stuff u see at the beach, cos he just looked around and started teaching me... The 1-hr boat trip is nothing if I know how damn long the bus ride is going to take... 9+ freaking hours!! But that is including 2toilet breaks, 1 lunch break and 1 dinner break, and not to mention the stops at the customs.

But I really enjoyed this trip. Met some pple and made some friends!! But the most impt thing I learnt is that we should all do out part to protect and preserve the underwater world and the ocean. It is really a different world there and I strongly encourage pple out there to pick up diving. U can really enjoy the beauty of the sea. Do not throw wadever waste u have into the ocean. The marine lives might just mistake them for food and ended up killing themselves after consuming your waste, esp so when the waste are plastic materials. And for those pple who hanky-panky along the beach, pls la. For goodness sake pls throw your condoms into a rubbish bin!! I actually picked up 2 condoms while walking along the beach!! WTF... Human sperms dun work on other species ok, and if u r hoping to impregnate a mermaid, I dun think this will work as well. So pls, protect the marine lives and the ocean by disposing your waste into the rightful place -- rubbish bins along the beach. Alternatively, u can dun use the condom!!

Now for the pic!!
