1429 EID ADHA - RED SEA RESORT

Tuan Hj A Rahim! Are you holding a frozen mackarel?
I believe the barracuda at Hj Zainal's hands is really fresh!!!
Why Hj A Rahim wearing a life jacket?

Banyak soal pulak ye!!!
The best time to swim is February. It is like sinking your finger into "ais kacang" maaa....

1429 EID ADHA

This is a photo given to me by Hj Mohd Amin. These are the few Malaysians at Port Sudan during recent 1429 Hijrah Eid Adha celebration. As usual, Hj Mohd Amin and few friends will travel by road from Khartoum to Port Sudan (approximately 1000 km) to celebrate Eid with the small Malaysian community at Bashayer Marine Terminal. At the same time, they will spend some time snorkeling and fishing at the Red Sea Resort. This event reminds me of the past!

I believe this is the first trip of Hj Abdul Rahim Wahab to PS.

NEW HIJRAH YEAR 1430

Salam,

My family and I wish all of you Happy New Hijrah Year 1430. May Allah bless everyone of us with His abundance Mercy and Kindness, InsyaAllah. Amin.

What are your new year resolutions?

I miss the cool and dry December weather at Port Sudan. I am too wet here!!! The sea waves at South China Sea is much larger that the Red Sea!!! Not a good time for fishing or swimming.

Menara Tamingsari

Menara Taming Sari is one of the latest attractions in the historical city of Melaka. You can see the city approximately 70 m above ground during day and night. The famous Eyes of Malaysia has been relocated from Kuala Lumpur to the city recently. Come to Melaka with family and friends and see the differences!!!!

SAND STORM 8-08-2008

Tuan Harmadi and his Black Hammour.

Approximately at 8:30 am, after catching many fishes at the coral patch, the hot air from inland started blowing towards the sea and brought suspended sand and dust (sand storm). The hot wind gust developed choppy sea waves and created unpleasant fishing environment. Therefore, the team decided to pack things up and departed to the floating hotel. Fishing continued with few catches and we adjourned for briyani lunch at 12 noon. Immediately after lunch, we moved back to shore for Friday prayer.

BARRACUDA TROPHY 08-08-2008

Tuan Harmizan won the "Barracuda Trophy" this week!!!!

RED SNIPER TROPHY

This sportsman was missing from the tournament for many weeks for personal reason and came back this week with the "Red Sniper Trophy". Congratulation!!!

WONDERFUL CREATION

The fishing team went back to the coral patch in the early morning of Friday 8-08-08 to continue with the fishing rally. The weather was very pleasant and the sea was seen flat. The seawater was crystal clear and we were able to see several meters below the surface. In actual fact, the Red Sea was experiencing the lowest tide of the year. We were blessed by Allah to see His wonderful creation of moon shape white coral. It was our first encounter of such beautiful coral.

BUILD TO BE TOUGH

On Friday night 7th August 2008, the fishing team stopped by the coral patch approximately 700m from the shore on the voyage to the floating hotel. We left the jetty at 6:45 pm and reached the location approximately 7:00 pm. Therefore, we had to conduct the maghrib prayer on the boat. Everybody was given a bottle of mineral water for ablution. Tuan Harmadi had his first catch (junior barracuda) after the prayer. Approximately at 8:30 pm, the wind from the East started to blow inland and created unpleasant waves. Two of the members had minor sea sick and we had to call off the fishing because of the rough sea and continue the journey to the floating hotel. The fishing rally continued at the hotel.

Remember Albert Einstein said: A ship is always safe at the shore but it is NOT what it is built for.
