Redang Island - Kenangan Terindah

As a Tourism student in Taylor University College, I am greatly appreciated the opportunities that I have now. Never thought that I could go those places where I have ever been. Have the chance to step out of the "well" to see this beautiful world.

First time taking air planes from KL - TGG... Redang Island ( Berjaya Resort) where my first internship hold place. Actually the reasons that I choose Berjaya Redang for my first internship was because a movie, named "xia re mo mo cha" (夏日嬷嬷茶), act by Sammi Cheng & Richie Ren. This movie was took place at Redang Island and of course the whole island started to get famous is also because of this movie.

Stayed there for 3 months to experience the real tourism and hotel industry. To learn something which beyond my studies. As a tourism student, I didn't learn any F&B operation in my college whereas I was assigned into F&B as a server. No doubt, it was a very difficult task for me and super duple tired job !!!Well , I did learn something new which I am unable to learn in college.

Despite the working time was exhausting but I did enjoy my life there. I spent plenty of time to explore the whole island.

The most memorable moments were lying down on the beach to enjoy the galaxy sky full with STARS and wind blows through my face. Together with a bunch of friends, bought our pillows, blankets and jackets to sleep on the beach & wharf. Had a good time sleep overnight on the beach and bite by the CRABS, it's true that crab bites people is very pain =p

I have seem my first "shooting star" on the island while I lied down on the beach chair and chit-chatting with my friends. I could still remember the lightning of the meteor remained for a few minutes then just fully disappeared. It was freaking beautiful.

Berjaya Redang Resort is a separated resort with its own beaches and where the local Kampung located (Teluk Dalam Kecil). Therefore if we wanna access to another beach site (Pasir Panjang) where a lot of resorts is situated, people must taking boat or either jungle trekking.

Most of the time, my local friends would fetch us there by using their own speed boat. The most stimulate experience was during the raining day with strong waves and taking the boat to Pasir Panjang. I could feel the moment when I was on boat, my whole body is like can fly out into the sea, luckily my friends were just next to me. hahahahaa...

A lot of people will only know Redang is famous with the marine life, crystal clear water and its white sandy . But actually there's another most important thing that cannot be miss to see on the island, it is "BlueSand". Do you know what is blue sand?? It's known as " Bioluminescent Ostracods" (also know as Firefleas / Sea Firefly). Ostracods are microscopic crustaceans, typically 0.2mm to 2mm long but are readily fossilised and can occur in enormous numbers in some sediments. Ostracods inhabit in aquatic environment use bioluminescence during mating where the males will attract females to them. Males ostracods flash in a sequence as they swim to attract females. Bioluminescence is blue colour because all colors of light do not transmit equally through ocean water, so if the purpose of bioluminescence is to provide a signal that is detected by other organisms, then it is important that the light be transmitted through seawater. Blue light transmits best through seawater - by goggle.

Blue Sand is very very beautiful but its life is very short as well.

On the other hands, it's also good to experience the "Open Air Disco" at Redang Island. If not mistaken, there are 5 or more than 5 "open air disco"there. But unfortunately I don't really like its environment cause I prefer and enjoy tranquil life the most.

Apart from that, I did cycling with my friends there. I was very proud that I'm the only girls among my friends who can ride motor bike. Of course I need to thanks my local friends that willing to borrow me their bikes and trust me so much. Some more I don't need to worry whether I will get bang by the car or not, because the whole Kampung has no much people will drive and the cars can be count by the fingers. Hahahaha =p !!! The only thing I need to be aware are the sheeps,cows and get used to everyone sized me up with curious eyes. What to do? They never see a beautiful Chinese girl ride motor bike on the island before waa =X
It's very cold at night if ride the motor on the island.

During end of the training, I was very happy because I could get out of the misery job but at the same time I was not willing to leave my friends there and of course the beautiful scenery. I wish one day I can get back there again but is just for traveling purpose !!! God bless me *finger cross*

I miss everything there... Galaxy Sky & my precious memories.

I just realised actually I had posted something relevance about Redang in my previous blog! anyway, just treat this as a recall & flash back my memories ba~
