稍微有点的惊讶.

稍微有点的失望.

First.. Morning come and find things to disagree on. 

Now.. A super indecisive fellow. Piss me off. It's just a trip. Take so long to think mehz? Wtf.

I remember when I wanted to do Komodo. Kathleen set the minimum at 40 logged dives. And so I did it on my 79th and it already felt tough. Known for its strong and ever-changing currents it's not wise to play with death. 

Scuba diving is not about being brave or going in with the notion that 'Chey! That's never going to happen to me!'

Yes the underwater life there was amazing - a great mix of big and small stuff. And it's a place I'll still wanna go back to. But when I've more experience handling currents and following an experienced and responsible DM and that the divers DM ratio is a good 4:1. 

It's a place I've deco-ed once (never ever gonna happen again) and seen the washing machines when we surface while sitting in the dinghy. 

Komodo holds its attraction. But every dive we take is a gamble against Mother Nature no matter where you're diving. Be wise. Know your limits and stay safe. 

RIP.

... ... 

It also pays to be diving with a group of conservative people (with 2 instructors.. 2 DMs.. 1 dive guide amongst the 13 of the paying customers..) and a buddy who looks out for you. 

Thank you to Siputscuba and *bl. I'm still alive after the deco-ed moment. 

He said no to wefie. =( Hahaha.. But he has a food coma cum I need bed face. =) My Sunday dinner date. <3 

Back from the trip and it was awesome. All the big stuff.. But no macro. =( And I guess I do miss my dive buddy too. =( 

... ...

Out of the blue today on the PIE. I just thought of you. Of asking you out for supper or something. Just a catch up. But I know I won't do it in the end. Coz it's been a year since we last texted. Many years since we last met. Many things have changed. I hope you're doing well. </3

So am sitting here in T2 transit charging my lappy.. Yawning.. Downloading songs into my nano.. Trying to entertain myself till boarding time at 2.30am. =)

Weird coz I'll be uncontactable once I live Puerto Princesa and on an LOB. And this time he couldn't come along coz of work. =( Gonna be with a group of people that I'm not so close to. Except Kat and Ben and perhaps Thomas. There's Ken. Daphne and Pei. Hopefully all will be good.

Wanted to tell him I'll miss him. But I guess I better not freak him out. =P

And looking forward to this trip. Happy and super glad I didn't go Melbourne with the birdies. And super glad we had that Malacca trip as a test first. I really can't travel with them. They just went Malacca 2D1N over the past weekend with 3 more gfs and am I super glad they didn't call me along.. Initially felt left out coz I didn't know about it. But after a while I was happy. Especially the places they go are so clean. Don't like. I like my rugged/localized Malacca. Can't wait for the last weekend of this month. My turn to be going up! =D

Tubbataha reefs. My dream even before I started diving. UNESCO heritage site. Let's see what's so good about it. Ernest and Trin were saying about the visibility and pelagics. Danny was saying about Trigger City.

And I realized I suddenly have quite a lot of diver friends now. Hmmmz.

Before I joined the meetup group was just Arno. Kaisa. Michele. Wing. Carmela. Arnel. Anton. Hardy. Steve. And after I joined the meetup there were a fair bit more.. But those I meet with/interact on fb are *bl. Kat. Thomas. Ben. Ken. Fel. Tracy. Ernest. Clara. Gabriel. Trin. Stephanie. Anna. And then there was Eric and Tim whom I met on my solo dive trip in Perhentians. Jaya who was my DM in Tulamben. Danny. Yvonne. Bin. Sim. Sipeng. Lea Meng. Ken. Angelita. Janice. Nabil and Clement from *bl and my LOB in Komodo. And there's Ivan for my camera housing..

Love these group of people much! <3 

Time to get my ass moving le! 

PS. In a way also glad that I'm not meeting *n. Not sure how would we both have reacted. 

And that was what exactly happened. Woke up shagged yest and forgot stuff. But it was worth it. <3

Gonna miss him for a week. No texts. No calls. Nothing. </3

谢谢你. 

It's tiring when you went for 3 dives.. Rushed back to wash your gear and then met me for dinner. Just coz you said you'll keep Sunday evening free for me. *touched* 

Thanks for allowing me to peel your dead skin and for the pokes! Hee! =P

Almost there.. 

Now this. 'Bleeding love' by Leona Lewis. |||-.-

Wah lao. And then it has to be this song now. 'Wild world' by Mr Big. |||-.-

And it has to be that song. 

'Always be my baby' by David Cook. </3

When love is more that just that. And she's the only person I allow to treat me. Even though I know our earnings are on par. <3 

A little high.. But I'm thankful for these lovelies for the awesome company tonight. And that our friendship has come such a long way.. A year after I left. We're still meeting up once in a while. <3 

My mentor. My #onemorebrain. <3

I remember the times when somehow you seem to be able to read my mind and appear at a time when I'm at my weakest and most vulnerable. No doubt that you'll never appear again. 

But I'm sure I'll get through this. Just like all the other times. On my own. 

Ты можешь это сделать! 

已经忘了值不值得. 

But I'm willing to wait it out and see. 

就是有点突然间的想你. 

3 of my fav shots from my recent dive trips. I felt the photos were much better this time round. But these are my <3. 

A much happier person without all the drama and since I've 看开了. I even forgot what he was doing today and had to ask. Oops! =P
