25th Sept -27th Sept - Advance Diving

WY and I went to Dayang for our Advance Diving.. Dive site is Dayang once again.. I hope we could go to Tioman, since I have nvr been there.. but anyways, it's good to be back there again..



The resort didnt change at all after 3 yrs.. But the sand got eroded by the sea.. there was a place where we could play volleyball and now it's gone...



We left the dive sch at 8pm.. took approx 4 hrs of bus ride and 3 hrs of ferry to get there.. The bus we took this time is more luxurious and spacious. Got to sleep on the ferry too as I took the motion sickness pill.. Wonderful.. =) I woke up only when we have reached..



Cont to sleep when we reach there at 430am.. woke up at 830 for breakie and start our first dive.. We had to do the pivot and hovering.. i struggled on my first dive cos i was very unfamiliar with th equipments and environment.. had a little trouble equalizing initially... the first dive site was not very nice too..



Second dive was navigation. need to swim with the compass and get back to the same location... nothing special too..



Then we had some theory lessons while the open waters ppl went for their 3rd dive..



We went for the night dive at around 7pm.. Armed with the giant torch we are ready to wave our laser beams.. was total pitch dark down under.. visibility was prob 1m?? I already had trouble finding WY during the day, so i had to hold on to her hand thru out the dive.. hm.. saw lots of sea urchin and some corals tt resembles lion fish.. Our instructor attempted to ask everyone to put their torch against their body to see the planktons.. but some ppl dun understd.. so we didnt manage to see it.. when we surfaced, I saw the most beautiful sky, fully littered by stars... "Fly me to the moon, and take me straight up upon te stars".... laalallala



Went back and wash up and had dinner..



Woke up at 630 for our last 2 dives.. The first one is the deep dive.. Going to dive to 30m.. Stayed only for a while and we went up to 15m to see the most beautiful sea i have ever seen.. there were a super big sch of baracudas (all facing one direction like an army), schools of little colourful fishes, alot of colourful corals with clown fishes, ugly mory eel hiding under the big rock etc.. but we didnt see the frog fish (fish with legs).. interesting hor.. =(



The last dive is wreck dive.. Didnt see the wreck.. =( saw some fishes but not as impressive as the first..the sea was really choppy...



We dived around 50mins each time.. so shiok. =) I remembered when we did open waters,we dive only abt 30mins..



I had better grasp in controlling my buoyancy by breathing.. able to stay at the same lvl without kicking.. i definitely kicked less and managed to go real close to the corals without hurting myself, even though i hurt my leg at the first 2 dives.. But i dun envision myself to be an avid diver.. can prob go once a yr tt kind, cos it's really bad for the skin and hair.. it's better to swim..
Our instructor in Orange tee.. She's a great instructor, taught us logic which is very practical.. =) She's from Swiss and she lives on Tioman.. I cant live on any Island.. I will be bored to death man..

19th Sat: Had to wake up at 645 for the Changi Beach clean up.. Suppose to meet my colleague at bt batok at 715... BUT I OVERSLEPT.. this is the first time i overslept.. i dunno y my alarm clock didnt ring.. luckily i left my HP on.. then i jumped out of bed when i hear my phone rang... I KNEW i'm soooo dead... then she was very nice.. she came to JP to pick me up..

20th Sun

Today is our last day teaching swimming at FWCC... ZW had the life saving test after his morning lesson.. We bought MAC back to eat.. Then we went down into the pool to play on the bedding.. tried to push each other down (super rough), tried to stand which we failed terribly.. panda is super farnie.. she was trying to stand up and one of her foot stepped out of the bedding and she fell.... =) I will miss swimming and teaching, but i will miss the ppl even more..... Then we went for dinner as usual, but this time w/o ZW cos he had to go for his sis's hse warming.. We went for dessert after tt..

After tt, we went to JP's Starbucks for drinks and celebrated WL's Bdae..

Went home to bath and dress up for Huiqin's and Kenneth's wedding dinner. It's a mini sec 4 class gathering too.. But i didnt meet them on fri for dinner and drinks cos i had the dance wkshop and had to wake up really early on sat...

They r really the fairytale tt came true.. they were both first and were together ever after... now happily married.. =) After the dinner, we went to drink at Coffee club.. Then reached home around 2am.. had trouble sleeping again.. feel like killing myself.. slept aroun 5am..

Our super super big family...

我们四剑客很快要少一个了。。。 会不习惯。。。。。

We went to a pub at Tanglin shopping centre to have drinks.. they were all trying to make ZW drunk.. Luckily he didnt puke.. Reached home at 215am.. slept at 245.. concuss.. took less than 5mins to fall asleep.. i'm feeling so tired again today at work.. =(

一切将画下完美的据点。虽然万分的不舍，可是一切在最完美的景象中画下绣字符。。

我们4“贱”客一定会再见江湖的！！

寻找

可以让我感到温暖的光芒，吸引我靠近它，沈醉其中
口服心服的美好
可说是一个没有碰触过的境界
乐在其中， 我要一直这样幸福的存在着

我终于找到了！

The Frontier BGM - 13th Sept Sunday

The Frontier CC YEC BGM

Our BGM is finally over.. We had our BGM at our CC and we had MINDS Cafe to bring their board games down and to teach everyone how to play the games.. Thx WY and YQ came and support the BGM.. =) Was fun but many ppl left after our BGM.. =( Mainly children stayed on to play the games. We had some new members with us this term... And it will be another good 2 years for us..

加油

The photographer is super good in taking jumping shots.. =) This one i feel is the best cos everyone is in the air.. but Syah's face is covered...

We met on the 12th to pack goodie bags...

1st to 13th Sept

Yeah.. I started work at my new workplace..
I took some time to accustom to the new place.. new faces, simple temporary workplace, alot to learn and I tried to ask alot of questions.. haha.. I jus wanted to start rite and learn as much as possible.. But I feel I might be giving myself alot of stress.. but bo bian.. I'm the only non mger they have hired so far.. I must prove my worth...
I felt super tired after work every day.. My little brain is cramped with alot of info and "how to do".

But I slowly accustomed to the workplace.. And I fell in love with their culture.. =) Everyone is helpful and smiley.. There's no downloading or "I'm not responsible for this so I dun know". They tried to help evn though is not their responsibility. So it's really a good place to work in =)

First wk was mainly orientation and having sessions with my mger and director to understd more abt the co.
I'm on my own the 2nd wk cos my mger was on leave. But she gave me some tasks to complete for tt wk.. Abit stress cos i dunno how to do.. But I still survived.. haha..

Hopefully this IS the ONE..

"Open up, open up some happiness"

Phuket Trip Day 3 & 4

Finally I'm back to continue to blog on Phuket trip.. The last 2 days of our good trip =)

Today, we are going Phi Phi Island for Island hopping.. Getting ready for the day =)

At the jetty, waiting to board the speed boat to Phi Island =)

On the Boat

We have reached the first bay of Phi Phi Island... The beach was super crowded.. so commercialised.. But the sea is still blue, the sky is blue too.. haha.. This is the island where Leonardo filmed a moive.. hm.. forgot the name of moive... can someone pls tell me the name of the movie in my chatbox? thx..
We didnt had alot of time on the beach.. appro 45 mins... we jus took a few photos, then went the toilet.. went back to the speed boat.. The next destination was the snorkelling spot.. not bad.. =) the current was milder than the place we went on day 2.. then we saw alot of fishes too..
That was the time when I realised that sea water is SUPER salty.. peng.. i drank a couple of mouthful of seawater and felt super thirsty.. no pic on it cos we were all gettin ready to SWIM.. After snorkelling, we went to Monkey bay to feed monkeys. Though I didnt feed, I jus watched loh..the monkeys were reay small esp the little ones.. so innocent and cute.. hehe my descendents.. Then we went to another place for lunch..

Groupie..

This was the place of our Island hopping day.. so we camwhore to the max..
Hm.. no photos for the dinner tonite.. hm.. i tink we didnt wear very nice for the day.. felt really tired le. then the performance for tt nite was some farnie storyline where I felt asleep after 15mins into the performance. They also had the cobraman to perf which I totally missed. Then we went for drinks.. I dunno y i felt so tired after drinking red wine. the place where we sat was quite comfy too.. i cont t sleep.. hahahha.. So tt marks the day of ou 3rd and last nite..
