Schools in Redang and Perhentian

Let me start with the boring stuff - the schools where I will be running

some programmes later this year

SK P. Redang - The most modern facility/school among the 5 islands schools I've visited

SK P. Perhentian - quite a nice school by the sea

Now, the fun stuff!!

Redang, Here we come!!
Saras, Rine and myself - getting ready to fly on Berjaya Air
(Super Ex!!!)

Welcome to Pulau Redang!
Flying over the Marine Park Centre in Pulau Redang

Sunset at P. Redang!! Look at THAT!!
How not to be emo you tell me!!
Best sunset but "enjoying" it alone? not so enjoyable...


Love the sun, Love the moon, Love the stars, Love the clouds,
Love the sand, Love the sea... Love them all
emo max!!

Me and my lonely companion on the island...
two does fit in there comfortably...

Perhentian!! I DID NOT edit the photos!!

nice nice nice - speechless..adding to the emo-ness

My 2 days exercise in Perhentian - climbing up (forgot to count how many steps) steep and slanting steps to get to our house

So nice one their staff house - resort pun kalah...

I slept on the hammock the whole night up on the balcony of the house
me taking afternoon nap (actually I'm taking my own photo) - backache la sleep for whole night

And the 3 photographers...

Dean, myself and Rine - thanks for the photos!

Well, it has been a relaxing trip (not really considering the snorkelling, hiking and stairs climbing)
Penuh emo-ness and nightmares... but it's great to see the beauty of God through His creation again

I'd give everything to be studying in one of those schools!! Really? Will I?

Will I study in a school with only 3 blocks? 1 surau, 1 classrooms (4classrooms) and a canteen?
This is Sek Keb Pulau Sibu - 34 students altogether; 7 teachers, 4 classes
(Std 1&2 mix; Std 3; Std 4&5 mix; Std 6)

Will I study in a school with only 24 students, 4 teachers? YES, SCHOOL of 24 students...
NOT Standard, NOT Class, NOT morning session but the WHOLE school
This is Sek Keb Pulau Tinggi. Yes, the whole school is here...

Will I?
Don't know...but I will be there..

This year, I (Reef Check Malaysia), with Marine Parks Department of Malaysia,
and sponsorship from BP Malaysia and HSBC Bank of Malaysia will be conducting "Coral Reef Camps" on 5 Marine Parks Island Schools. Hope we will all have fun as we get closer to the environment and enjoy His wonderful creation...
