Random thoughts

A close friend ever said to me "dont be so hard to get along with". It made me do some thinking ... is that really the case? Not sure ... No answer to this

I think I'm easily misunderstood sometimes and I don't try to clear things up even when I know things aren't like that. Too stuborn for my own good? Hmm ..

Got to pay $800 plus for income tax ... enough to buy G10 manz ... haiz ... got to wait longer for the camera ... Been wanting to take photos again. Probably over the weekend or what ... Lakeside seems like a nice place heh

Holiday ... need another one soon ... heh gian to go diving but ... ya need to see how ... perhaps dayang or somewhere near may be good. Maldives sounds like a nice place with cuttlefish mating and whale sharks .. but will burn a hole in my wallet ... and I can't afford it as well heh ok ok see how ... need to save ... and to find people as well

Mum bought some special grapes from NTUC recently that tastes like wine. Very nice heh its called High Mountain Taiwan Ruby Grapes :)

... The line drawn is getting deeper ...

Bad day ...

Can't stand how im being treated ... Its crazy ... Don't like don't like .. don't make fucking remarks ...

Sometimes I think my radar is too good... picks up things which should not be picked up... I think I should blast my ipod everday at work .. ignorance is bliss

Anyway ... wanna go for another holiday ... a relaxed one I hope ... hopefully it materializes ... Manadao? Bali? Dayang? Somewhere simple and nice will be good heh, back to the basics :D

Bali 2009

Back from Bali!

The dive was superb. Went down for the first dive still groggy from the early morning but came up smiling haha. Saw alot of things during the 2 days of diving.

The most interesting part was the shrimp goby combination. Ever heard of them before where the goby will be outside burrows watching out for danger for the shrimp. The shrimp on the other end digs the burrow. At night, both will go into burrow and sleep. Next morning, they will come out of the burrow and the whole cycle starts again. :) Interesting behavior heh and i saw them this time! In fact I saw one of the shrimp eating a small fish! haha not sure if i saw wrongly again .. but if i didn't I think it would be quite good :)

Also saw a huge manta ray. Easily more than 2 person's arm length (outstretched). And it was quite close as well heh. Incredible feel.

The last dive was equally interesting as well. The current was so strong that we had to hold on to the corals to prevent us from being swept away. The current rushes against our faces, like strong wind blowing. :) very interesting experience.

All in all, good trip! :) Hope to plan for a last trip for this year .. 8 more days of leave left! haha

Halong Bay

Went for a short trip recently.. I realised it's been some time since I've blog on my travel trips. Last one should be during my aus exchange programme? haha

This trip to Hanoi was not bad, the highlight of the trip? swimming in Halong Bay, with the mountains around you, you just feel relaxed an at ease.. enjoying the beauty of nature.

I really enjoyed that swim. Although it was a short one, about 30 mins. I felt at ease and peaceful, don't know how to describe but ... yea it was good.

Although the weather is quite hot, I still enjoyed the short 4 days. Will want to go back someday and swim in the bay again ...
