热情的浪雀跃地环绕着小岛翩翩起舞。这个岛的浪是热的。天是蓝的，海是蓝的，而皮皮是红的（晒得红彤彤）。第一次（也是最后一次）到热浪岛已是4年前的事了。
Waves surrounding the island danced passionately. Waves were hot. The sky was blue, the sea was blue, yet PiPi was red (because of sun-burn). The first and last time when PiPi visited Redang was 4 years ago.
Berjaya Redang Resort
在这里，曾经献上了皮皮的第一次---潜水初体验。潜水这玩意儿真的是见仁见智的活动。沁就不太喜欢了---她坚持自己是属于陆地的。而皮皮 。。。。。。
Here, PiPi had her very 1st time -- of scuba diving. Scuba diving really is a very subjective activity. Sum did not like it at all -- She declared firmly that she belongs to the land. However, PiPi begged to differ.... ...

多年以后，再次到热浪岛来。热浪岛的人没变，还是一样的热情。热浪岛的鱼没变，还是一样的热情。这次皮皮不在乎住宿的舒适，不在乎酒店的设施，皮皮只在乎海里的活宝们。
Few years later, PiPi was back at Redang again. The people had not changed, with the same passion. Even the fish had not changed, with the same passion. This time, PiPi did not mind about the comfort of accommodation, and did not mind about the facilities of the resort. What mattered most was the treasures under the sea.
这次找了Gipsy Divers当响导。原本打算去曦潜，却因为前一晚热闹的派对而睡过了日出。匆匆地吃过了早饭后，就换上了潜水衣并开始装备。8点钟的海风还是冷咧咧地，海水却是暖和的。由于海面潮水波动幅度相当大，大家跃入海水后，径自下潜等候。人齐后，大家沿着珊瑚壁，顺着潮水流向，往北而去。没一会儿，皮皮依稀看到一个巨型的身躯，形状古怪的在海床上匍匐。渐游渐近时，皮皮看清楚了她的轮廓--是海龟啊！！大家都放轻呼吸，皮皮固然是欣喜若狂，可不敢轻举妄动，皮皮可不想因为赶走了海龟而成为千夫所指。大家抓紧时机，猛按相机快门。皮皮的傻瓜相机在远处也照不了什么好样儿的的，索性静静地欣赏海龟的一举一动。或许大家的热情让海龟受不了，她快速地游离我们了。
This time, PiPi dived with the Gipsy Divers. Our initial plan was to dive at dawn. We all missed it because of a late night and crazy party. So, we quickly had our breakfast. We changed into our wetsuits and started assembling the equipment. The wind was still cold at 8am, but the sea water was warm. As the surface current was strong, we descended immediately and gathered under the water. After assembly, we followed the reef wall on our left, and allowed the current to push us towards the north. Soon, PiPi noticed a giant figure crawling on the seabed. When PiPi got closer to the creature, Pipi realized it was a sea turtle!! Everyone held their breathing. Of course, PiPi was excited, but PiPi did not approach the sea turtle any nearer. PiPi did not want to scare the sea turtle away and received blame from other buddies. Everyone started taking pictures of the sea turtle. From such a distance, PiPi's compact camera was practically useless. So, PiPi simply relaxed and enjoyed her every move. Perhaps, the sea turtle couldn't stand our excitement, and she quickly swam away.
大家继续在珊瑚壁寻找活宝。皮皮认真地照起相来--皮皮的最爱‘尼莫’，魔鬼鱼，兔蒂。。。皮皮照得不亦乐乎，缓慢的进度竟然被大伙给遗留在后头。皮皮醒觉后四处张望却看不见一双蛙鞋，映入眼帘的竟是海龟啊~~她轻松地游向皮皮后，就在皮皮跟前的珊瑚上停住。皮皮和海龟互相对看，她眨了眨眼就游开。当皮皮还在犹豫着是否跟上前，或是去寻找失散的伙伴时，海龟回头看了皮皮。她可能了解到皮皮的窘境，又转头回到皮皮的跟前。皮皮好想拥她进入怀里。这短短的几分钟，是多么的美妙啊。
We continued to search for more treasures on the reef wall. PiPi started seriously to take more photographs of PiPi's all-time favourite 'Nemo', stingray, nudibranch ... While PiPi enjoyed her photo shooting, she was not ware being left behind. Suddenly, not even one fin was in sight. Then, Pipi spotted the sea turtle again -- it had softly swum close to PiPi and stopped on the reef right in front of PiPi. She gazed at PiPi and PiPi looked her in her eyes. She blinked and swam away. PiPi hesitated whether to follow, or to catch up with other dive buddies. She turned back, taking note of PiPi's hesitance. She once again returned to PiPi. PiPi wanted to hug her so much. This was indeed a wonderful moment.
热浪岛总是让皮皮有所惊喜。这次和海龟的亲密接触是最珍贵的回忆了。
Redang always surprised PiPi. This time, close encounter with the sea turtle will make memory even fonder.
