A Vacation To Remember

The trip to Redang Island was memorable and unforgettable. We decided to have a break right after the final exam on this island.

It was a 3 day 2 night trip. I was totally attracted by the breathtaking scenery on this island. The sea is crystal clear and it comes in tones.

This was the first time I experienced snorkeling, taking a peek of the marine lives. It is so amazing that there is another different world on the earth other than the land. I have always been afraid of getting into deep water. When the wave hit me, my body was floating with the face facing upward. I was terrified, screaming “Help! Help!” as if I were drowning. My friends laughed at me for that. 

My 21st birthday fell on the second day of our trip. This island witnessed me officially turning into an adult. This was the first time I celebrated my birthday away from my hometown in Penang Island. I celebrated it on another island instead. My friends gave me a surprise by preparing a pile of Apollo layered cakes with a candle to replace birthday cake. It was a simple yet creative ‘birthday’ cake. Initially, they pretended not knowing about my birthday. They sing birthday song to me at the sea shore, under the bright moonlight, with the sea breeze caressing our face. Such moment must be cherished and treasured.

For the first time, I went for jungle trekking with slippers. I noticed there are many torn slippers were abandoned along the track. I worried that my slippers would have torn too, I should have wear sport shoes at first. Luckily, everything went on smoothly throughout the journey. There is another view of the sea at the end if the trek.

Before leaving the island, I bought some souvenirs for myself and friends. Since there are a lot of my first-time happening on this island, the sweet memories will always being kept in my heart.
