Hi! This is my first blog after a long hiatus from the absence of diving. After long 8 years since I got myself wet, don the mask and suck the regulator, I am so glad to get back into this sport. Of course some of my friends would know that I am also into photography and soon enough I would go into underwater photography.

But first of all, this blog is just to show case some of the photos I have taken at Redang. It is my dream that I can post at least one dive site every quarter (I need to work dude!)

So here's Redang!

Pulau Redang: Redang Kalong

The trip up north is really tiring with 12 hours on the bus, butt is really aching. Can imagine the relief when we see the harbour.

Wonder what are they looking at?

Melz Being Blown Over...

...By the Blow Fish

And so we arrived by the wobbly jetty that greeted us.

And of course the white sands and clear waters just add to the excitement

The place that we stayed (Bunny, Melz & Me) is called Redang Kalong. Whatever the case, it is on land and it has a great atmosphere that speaks of doing nothing but to laze around. The whole place do have some great photo opportunities but would require me to wake up at 6 am to capture the sun rise shots.

After one of those dives (what? You want to see me wet?) we got so bored we decided to check out the place. Of course the other reason is to see what other places I can take photos of this beautiful island. And behold, we got ourselves unto Redang Laguna.

Honestly? I think Redang Laguna is one of those places that reminds me of the very place I am trying to escape from. Yes you guess it...Singapore! The whole darn place is so commercialised it just reminds me of Downtown East at Pasir Ris. I was like....Wad Duh~~

Anyway, people who need some civilisation in a place that speaks of natural beauty ought to shoot themselves. We already have so much techy thingie that some rough edges wouldn't harm. Ah...that's just the adventurous me talking shit.

Well, since we are here why don't we have some fun shots. First of all, Melz and Bunz showing off the latest summer dive collection.

And then we add some faux six packx on our abz.

Somehow or rather, the modelling bug did not go away. After a hearty meal at the eatery, Melz is at it again this time with some more 'help'

Siang & May: Woah~ Scandalous Pair (hahahaha...)

First demonstration... 'so so'



Second one...oh my gawd...Chantel put up the best positive demo of all



Third one's a charm! And now...



The fourth....Oh~~ Heaven!!

I got so bored after the photo shoot, I was virtually hunting for subjects. And look what I have found... a white spider that has lost its legs so much so it is giving the 'middle' from some angle!

Ah...after sometime one ought to get back to earth from heaven. So that's another last minute sun rise shots from a different perspective. Of course I must show, as with other tourists, that I was there and has done that.

The trip back was really uneventful except for Mong Chee's bid to get back to Singapore without a ticket back. But then again, she doesn't look thrilled at all to go back (same sentiments babe...same sentiments)..but hey at least she got a nice tan.

With nothing to do, Mark and me went to some bus hunting just to make sure we don't miss the bus. Instead we got our beau some T-shirt that cost really little in terms of Singapore price.

We got our bus alrite! And in another 12 hours we got our butt back in Singapore. Bummer!
