For 3 days and 3 nights, 22 students from Sunway University College were away from home. Destination: Redang Island, Terengganu. The objective of the trip was for Team Building. While there, games such as volley ball and soccer were played and snorkeling trips were ventured.
It took us 9 hours on the bus to get to the port and a further 1 hour on the ferry to reach the island itself. But it was well worth it. Although we were tired from the journey, the moment we got there we couldn’t wait to jump into the water. Most of the time spent there was spent on the beach, and all 22 of us returned with a healthy tan.
Redang Island has always been known for its clear water and diverse marine life which are just waiting for tourists to visit. Even though there were reports of “coral bleaching” prior to the trip, the underwater views were still spectacular. The views ranged from the sighting of the 7 foot long fish which we were unable to identify, to even clown fish (more commonly known as “Nemo”).
Our home away from home was Redang Lagoon Chalet. The accommodation, even though not as we expected, covered the basic needs. After all, we did not go there to sit in the room the whole day. The rooms were just to bathe and sleep in. The meals provided were the usual basic chicken and fish dishes. We even got a BBQ meal on our first night there.
