Malaysia Week~~~~~

During Malaysia week, I and 20 other middle school students(including two teachers) went to Pulau Lang Tengah which is an island close to Redang. To get there we had to ride the bus for 8 hours! When we finally arrived, our site group went on a small boat that smelled like gasoline. We tried to go to the island on the first day but the rain was too heavy and unluckily our boat was lost at sea. After few hours of boat ride in the middle of the sea, we came back safely back to the jetty. So our group and Mr. Whiting's group had to stay in a resort near there.

The next day when we arrived at the island, we went snorkeling and saw different fish (don't know the names...) and the diving expert started throwing sea cucumber at us. I seriously don't want to touch it again. Later, the 6 shortest boys+girls tried scuba diving. We just went deep as our height and since the water was kind of mixed with sand, we couldn't see anything but broken corals.

For the following two days we kayaked around just one part of the island. Me, Ara and Krithika were on a kayak and we weren't good at kayaking (not even okay~ at kayaking). So, the teachers had to wait for our kayak because we always headed to the middle of the ocean!! Our boat had to go over these huge rocks (shortcut) and no one has ever done it, but of course we did. The waves helped us go over the rocks.

Also we did beach games like rolling the beach ball with your head, moving a polo with a stick and making symbols that represents Malaysia week with stuffs at the shore (like coconuts, piece of rope, ants etc...). We could also jump of the jetty which is twice as high as our height and we caught Frisbees while jumping.

Early in the next morning, we took our last steps in the island towards the jetty. Everyone turned around to see the island one more time on the boat. I highly recommend Pulau Lang Tengah for good diving island because we had more fun and had done amazing beach sport on this island.
