Redang Island

Hi, sorry for ignore this blog for like 2 months. Honestly I got no idea to write about. Since I'm back to KL, leave the island so I'm gonna update more as much as possible.

Friends keep asking me, "Oi, never update your blog anymore?" Me: " ya lo, don't know what to write about also. Any ideas?" "NO."

:(

Well, basically. Why don't I just stick with what's on my mind and write about it then. Guess this is all about the beautiful island again. And yea, this gonna be my last post talking about this island anymore.

There are few question people keep asking about me when I'm working there. Is a FAQ.

1) Why you wanna work here? I mean why do you ever have the decision of working in this island?

Well, trust me. I do have the impulse of working here since 2 years ago on my birthday. I spent my birthday with my 2 bfs. LOL, one boyfriend, one best friend. The moment when I reached there, and the moment when I'm in the boat going for snorkeling, I told myself: I'll come back someday. To work.

And yes, 2 years later after I graduated from college. I saw someone posted on a facebook group. Vacancy in Redang. So I applied. It's kinda disappointed when I know what's the job is all about. It's not what I want in the beginning. So I kinda make no decision and keep dragging and not sure what should I do. The pay is so low. I mean of course is lower than I worked as freelance though. So I keep complaining. But I was wrong, keep reading.

But then, promise is a promise. All the time, I don't know how to reject someone. So I actually already promised the boss that I'll be working there and I didn't reject him.

So, if you ask me why do I work there. All I'm gonna say is I LOVE BEACH, I LOVE SEA, I LOVE CRYSTAL CLEAR BLUE SEA.

But somehow, there's one more reason. It's because I don't want to stay at home. I don't like. I like to be outside. Without family. HAHAHA.

2) Don't you feel bored? Staying here all the time.

Gosh, you won't believe it. When you're at somewhere you love the most. Why would you even feel bored? How could that be? If you gonna feel bored, then it's not what you want and not what you love at all. Isn't it's great when you woke up seeing sunrise EVERYDAY, sound of the seawaves that make you relax all the time. Tell me how do I even feel bored?

The only thing I could be bored will be working. People thinks I'm holiday there like I'm not working. Well, I do work there. But I had more fun than working. So I still feel bored with my job even though I'm staying in a paradise.

3) What's fun in the island?

Hmmm, nothing fun. What do you expect to have in an island? Thought you came all the way just to relax? But well, you still get to drink, they sell beers. They have disco night, they have live band at night. So if you ask me what's fun. I think the fun stuffs will be lying on the beach and make yourself sandy and push by the seawaves. Yea, you can get beers at a resort called 'Pelangi', there are like a place for you to drink and open until 3am if it's crowded. Trust me, everything closed after 12am. So, it's kinda bored after that.

And also the fun thing to do during night will be checking those so called blue sand along the beach. Good luck in finding it. I mentioned this too many times. I always bring my friends to go check on it when they came to Redang for vacation. Then I actually get bored. I found another nice and adventurous way in checking them next time.

Guess what?

It's swimming in the night without the moon. You can't believe how pretty it is in the water. When you kick the water, it's all around your legs. So damn beautiful. Too bad, it's difficult to take pictures of the blue sand.

And go to a resort call 'Holiday' to check on sunrise, they have perfect view from there :3

You see, I'm working there, but  I spend more time in playing and having fun though.

4)  What you work as in the island?

LOL, I feel so shamed all the time to tell others what I'm working as in that island. I hide it all the time. But I know people get to know it eventually. So, should I still hide it? I'll let you check it out yourself.

I will talk about my job. Compare to other jobs in that island. My job are much more relaxing. You know why? Because I got the best employer ever in the world ! He always afraid that we get too tired in the job, and he always chase us to go back rest. But we never, we always stay there.

And yea, trust me. Compare to other jobs, we get to go snorkeling whenever we want to. I used to snorkeling around 5pm because I thought is not so hot. But I was wrong, I still turn tanned after the swim. So, I don't care anymore. I follow the resort's snorkeling trip to go snorkeling. Just because you're staff, you get priority :p

I even go snorkeling with other resorts. Oh FYI, there are 11 resorts along the long beach. If you know most of the friends and staffs there, you got lots of priority. Like my case, I get to eat at their resort for free, their bbq, their buffet, haha me likey eat ! And get to go for their round island trip, they brought me to place where others don't go, check on nice stuffs and etc.

Gosh, I thought I was gonna talk about my job. Yea, back to the topic. If you're working under the resort, you don't seem got time to go snorkeling. But my job, my employer is awesome. So, if we tell him where we going, he will let us go and have fun. So, interested to know what I'm working as?

5) What's the best thing you never forget when you're there?

Oh man, I think is a lot ! Like I went to snorkeling with friends. I told them I just gonna sit on the boat because I'm period, don't want to make the sea water turns red. After awhile, they keep persuade me and ask me to jump. So I can't stand it anymore and I joined. I guess I made the right decision, I saw big turtles, really big. Infront of me. And we keep chasing them. There's two of them. Too bad I don't have my camera along. Next thing, I saw a shark. Big one. And I kinda afraid because I'm on period. Lucky the shark is too afraid and swim off. LUCKY.

Also, best thing? You get to see some actors and some famous fellow :3

You get to know them and they are way too friendly just because they are in good mood. In a really nice view and environment, everyone feels good !

If you know me, you know I don't drink. But when I'm there,  I started to drink and I gave bad impression to others just because I drink :/ I'm sorry. You know what's the best part, when you drunk and turns tipsy, you don't have to worry about driving back home lol. You just need to walk back to your room and sleep. HAHAHAHA.

Also, waking up purposely for sunrise, walk around the beach and go back to work.

picture taken at the last 2 weeks before I go back to KL 

Also the best part was, I went to swim in the night on my birthday because my friend drag me along. They went to catch some fishes for dinner hahahaha. 

Last but not least, our boss is a good listener and they always care what we are thinking and feeling. If we told him we are tired, we will ask us go back to rest or he will change the timetable so we get to rest more. If we are so hardworking in helping him, he brought us for a nice dinner. 

Oh, our foods and staying are all included. So basically we got no expenses while working there. It's like you work you had fun you played you swim you jump you run and you still get paid. And if you not going to spend money on beers, you eventually never use your money over there. You save all your money on how many of your salary. Compare to KL, I work, I get higher paid, but I used more. All those foods, transports, .......... :( 

And at the last few days, our boss actually sponsor us to go for diving license. The best thing ever in my whole working life there! 

If you want me to talk about my boss, he is the best one ever in my life. AT THE MOMENT. lol. 

Ending soon, so if you actually interest to work over there. Just pm me on facebook. I'm sure you won't regret working there. Why? Because you don't have to worry about foods(what to eat), place to stay(they provide us a nice place to stay compare to hotel :3 I meant it!! I love my room!), transport problem(you just need to walk as long as you have legs!), petrol, rent, parking are none of your business. You just wake up, work, swim, have fun, drink, dance and sleep! 

What are you waiting for? Get a vacation now. PM me :)
