Yup, again! And it was very good – and different!

I’ve decided even before I went on the trip – I won’t write another entry on every single thing that happened in Redang – I had already done it for my Redang Trip last year.

And yes, the main activities were practically the same as last year – bus journey, boat ride, three snorkeling sessions, beach disco, blue sand… I think most of the resorts in Redang have exactly the same 3D2N package!

So, in this entry… I’ll write about some other things instead!

Let’s see what was different in this Redang Trip compared to the previous one.

Firstly – new key players!

Trip Director – Kean Kong.

I think he did a really good job in this trip!

A dedicated and firm person – Kean Kong was voted to replace Jon as the President of Tourism Club next year.

Next, Assistant Director – Jansen!

Jansen with long hair! Can you believe it?

Always friendly and a fun person to be with – Jansen was voted to replace me as the Vice President of Tourism Club next year.

Moving on, Tour Leader – Winston!

An excellent tour leader – Winston is one of the best we’ve got!

I dunno, Jon might be better! You decide!

This is Jon as one of the tour leaders in the Redang Trip last year.

Who do you like more? Oh Jon is going to hate my blog…

Similar to the previous Redang Trip, we departed from MMU at 10pm, so we had a night journey. Again similar to the previous trip, I couldn’t sleep in the bus for the whole night.

Different from the previous trip, not only me, but many of us couldn’t sleep – because the TV on the bus was switched on, showing, of all movies – Rambo 4! It was an MMU bus, full of students and university officers! And at 3am in the morning!

If you haven’t watched the movie, then you might not understand; but if you have, you’ll surely know how violent and gory it is – yes, we watched the uncensored version!

Similar to the previous trip – We rode on a boat from Kuala Terengganu to Redang Island.

The difference between the two boats was remarkable – the previous boat (last year) had been huge, comfortable, air-conditioned, had mounted TV screens on walls, spacious and even had an open-air upper deck for its passengers to get some sunlight and ocean breeze!

So comfortable that we had easily fallen asleep on the journey.

This time – the boat was small, had some strange smell, not really comfortable and poorly ventilated with sealed windows and without air-conditioning or fan.

The only breeze was coming in from a small opening in front of the passenger cabin – along with sea water splashing into the cabin, onto the faces of those unfortunate ones sitting in the front rows.

Kean Kong and a few of us sat at the opening to block the sea water from being splashed in! We were all wet well before we reached the island!

This ride was so bumpy that many people got nauseous, a couple of them even vomited in the boat!

The things that happened next were the typical, but exciting, Redang activities…

In my opinion, this trip was as good as it could be, despite all the stuff that I complained about just now. Not being a direct organizing committee member of the trip this time, I think I can objectively give a few humble comments:

The Director and his committee members have worked really hard on this, I could really see. Honestly, there are a number of areas in this trip that, I think, turned out much better compared to the previous Redang Trip.

Of course, I’m not saying that the previous one was a failure – I think each had their own good points.

This trip was really a success, and I salute the people who worked hard for it, they deserved the success.

About the activities… Snorkeling and stuff… Not gonna write about them again! Look at my previous Redang Trip’s entry! They’re almost the same.

In fact, I didn’t actually participate in all of them! This time, to me, it was less about the activities, but more about my own relaxation and getting to know people.

Hehe… So I’m going to end this entry abruptly… here! Why not take a look at my Photo Album? Pictures tell much more stories than words!
