It's been a week and a day since I got back from Redang, and I still feel like I'm merely existing. I've left my life back in Redang. Ah, the life of sunshine, laughter, and underwater world.
It was a great vacation. I was there with Rosanne, Hui and Jun to get our PADI Open Water Diving licenses. I hadn't been on a vacation for years I guess, so you can imagine the excitement built up towards this Redang trip. Thank god it's everything and more than I could ever ask for.
Redang was breathtakingly beautiful. It's the crystal clear water, the soft white beach, the random boats, the less-than-azure-but-nonetheless-stunning-endless sky, the wooden jetty, the swaying branches, the off-peak serenity, the starry night, the mirrored full moon in the sea, the silhouettes of distant islands, the hyper squirrels, the amazing marine world, the growing bubbles, the laughter on everyone's face, and every other little thing. They got into me, and they possessed me.
Diving was different from what I've imagined. How different you may ask, but I cannot answer, for I did not imagine much to begin with. It was just a blurry idea of a person in the water with a tank of air supply. No big deal. Rosanne asked me to join her, and I said yes without thinking twice. Well, it definitely takes more than just a tank to dive. There were skills and knowledge that we had to learn. The beginning of it was a bit perilous (okay fine I'm exaggerating) but it was all worth it. Now I'm in love with diving and the sea.
Not gonna write much. I've already written 11 pages in my A4-sized personal journal. Go to Redang and feel it for yourself. =)
Been coughing and sniffing for the past few days. Guess I'm missing Redang too hard.
