Tioman Mar08 videos

Hey everybody, I've created another video for my diving trip. Spent a longgg time on this.. I can only do it when I'm back in JB (no computer in SG)... had been working till 2, 3am these 2 weeks.

Editing the video creates LOADS of big files (the clips).. computer not fast enough, have to wait a while every time I changed something and want to review it. As the computer is not fast enough, the playback was like, one frame one frame... I couldn't really see the effect which is set in less than 1 second. It does make a lot of difference even if it's only 0:30second.

Then dunno is it the software or what... it kept giving me problems when I was editing the sound. It kept shut off the programme.... Had to restart the programme again and again... And when I edit the clips too short, the image kept jerking.. I had to convert the files first (and there are loads of file!) then only I can edit it............................. very time consuming because of this.

Also, because of the same reason (comp not fast enough), pardon the little mistakes here and there. If I check everything thoroughly as much as I would like to, it'll probably take another week. Quite unhappy about the mistakes though, some part music too loud, can't hear the person in the video talking, some words missing, etc...

Not a lot of underwater clips though.... not much was taken..... makes editing and script writing a bit difficult cos the underwater scenes are too short.

Anyway, here are the videos. Remember to turn on the volume~! else please watch the video some other time when you can turn on the volume. P.S. I've made the video as something like a travel show/ diving guide. Hope you enjoy it~ Do give some comment~

Part I
Pardon some little mistakes here and there... kind of rush the video out.


Part II
Diving scenes, corals, turtles, cuttlefish. The part were Andy was talking to Ivan.. music too loud.. I've edited it in the beginning but still.. :( end up like this.


Part III
Scenes of dive shop owner Reeno's birthday celebration and surface interval at Pulau Tulai-very beautiful beach~!


Part IV
Diving scenes with barracuda, turtles, titan and scenes before going home. The part where Gabriel was talking after the dive... after I converted the video, the talking and the image do not match.... faint.... nothing I can do about it...

Love hurts

I had been staying in front of the tv faithfully every Mon, Tue and Wed at 10:30pm for a Chinese drama. I hate the story development yesterday.

The leading actor A used to be crazily in love with a forced-to-be courtesan B. They grew up together and B’s family got into some trouble and she was the only one left and was sold to be a courtesan. A’s love for B was so firm that even his whole family objected it he insist on marrying her one day. Later A’s family got into trouble but his love to B remained, despite the hardship he and his family were going through.

B’s “courtesan Mummy”, sort of coax her into writing a break-up letter to A. She cried but she did what was told as A’s future was really bleak.

A used to always bicker with the Princess C. But he didn’t know she was a princess then. Later on they became good friends and C helped A obtained a letter from B, knowing that he really missed her and she hasn’t been replying. But they letter C happily brought to A was the break up letter.

C’s family was later on cleared with a crime the Emperor suspected them to have committed. Then Princess C realized she has fallen in love with C. C after some uncertainty realized he loves the princess too. They got married.

But B was back in town.

B wanted to win him back. She acted pitiful. A bought her a house using the money Princess C had earned. Princess C found out. They quarreled, A apologized to Princess C and patched back after several days.

Princess C is worried about B wont give up on A. A friend lady D suggested finding B a husband. B rejected a very good man they found her. Princess C’s maid worried B will somehow damage Princess C’s marriage in future and ask D to help send B away. D did so. On the way of sending her away, B jumped into the sea. She was later rescued by a bad guy but D didn’t know. They thought B was dead.

A found out what they did and was really mad and sad. They went to that river and searched for B. But they can’t find B’s body. A believe B is not dead yet. He was cold towards Princess C. Princess C asked if the two of them can still be as loving as before. A nodded in a somber way.

Has the princess did anything wrong? NO. I don’t think so. She is trying to protect her marriage, and the one that asked to send B away was the maid. B and A were lovers for the longest time. Who wouldn’t be worried that they might get involve with each other again?? Yet, A and perhaps other men, will think C is too much. B obviously won’t give up on A when she insisted she will not leave. Who wouldn’t do something to protect her marriage?? There’s no way one should blame the princess, no way. But in usual case, the husband, like A, will be mad about his wife, when in actual case, the wife is the victim. Even when A said they can still be as good as before, as loving as before, I doubt he will let go of this matter soon. But if not he kept seeing B and helping B with the money Princess C had earned, none of this would happened! I hate such story. So unfair. And so heartbreaking for the wife in this case… it will hurt a lot if you love one blames you over his ex.

Tired..

I am very tired now.

Yesterday, I was with my diving kakis by the sea. Suddenly we saw water sprouts forming and there were 6 or 7 of them! Worried for our lives we flee for it into a building and ran to upper floors. BUt who could have know, there were T-Rex in the building! They were hunting us. I was in a room, I hid in the corner but one T-Rex saw me through a window! Geez! I had to run for my life but I was on high floors. No choice, I climbed out of the building from another window. And I had to climbed down with bare hands like Jackie Chan~! Man.. was I tired..

Yeah, that was just a dream of mine yesterday. WAHAHAHAAA....

What an inconsiderate pig!

Recently JB-ian who works in Spore and goes back and forth everyday has had to walk for longggg distance to cross the two countries' borders due to the Mas Selamat escape thing. The roads are seriously congested due to tight security. Everyone is complaining. If one of these affected people sees Mas Selamat, they'd probably beat him up first before calling the police.

Then yesterday, Friday, the day where most JB-ian goes home from Spore. I had to use passport lane to clear custom instead of the usual access card lane. It was soooooo packed with people...... Poor angmoh also kena stucked there... Lucky I was in a pretty good mood, I didn't mind the wait. I had to queue for about 45 min I think. The queue was ok. But the little girl queing behind me with her mum... was killing me. I hate people kept bumping my body or my bag when queing behind me. Why the fuck do they have to queue so near???!

When I finally cleared the custom, my bro and I chose to walk across the causeway instead of waiting for the bus. For those who doesn't know, the pathway for people to walk across the causeway is only wide enough to allow 2 person walking side by side. Usually people noticing there are people behind them want to walk faster, they'd move aside and let others through. But often we can see those who don't care and if you wanna "overtake" them, either you say "excuse me" to them or you can choose to risk your life by using the vehicle road to "overtake".

Then yesterday, 2 Indian women walking side by side, oblivious of the people behind trying to overtake. But the motors were zooming passed very fast, it's dangerous to step on to the vehicle road to overtake. One girl took the risk after a longgggg time walking closely behind trying to overtake to no avail. Then it's my turn. I walked close behind and said to her ear "Excuse me", expecting her to move aside.

But guess what she did? She said "Where do expect me to move?"

What the fuck??!

I yelled at her, "You can move behind your friend what?! Just for a short while only!! Is that so difficult??!"

Man.... it felt good when she couldn't answer me anything. I don't understand these people.... She was already being very inconsiderate. When being asked nicely to move over she gave me such a fucking attitude. What a pig! These people should just vanish into the air and the earth would be a lot less populated and the world will be a greater place.

My "garden"

Was searching for "treasure" (bugs) again in my "garden" (=>pots of plants) again one day, and practise photography.
How do you like this pic?

This fellow, was really cute, seems like it has a pair of big eyes. Whether the whole eye area is functional or just the "black dot" in the center is functional eye I don't know. But it sure looks funny, with a "pointed nose"...

Bugs attacked our plant again. And red and black ants attacking the bugs. I think they like to eat the bugs...

Can you spot out what I was looking at? These were tiny grass, measuring around 5mm the most for each.

What I was looking at was in the center. I didn't know what it was, used something to poke it. Turned out.... it were 2 bugs mating. I had spoilt their fun...... I'm really sorry............. I poked it several times and they didn't budge at first but in the end, they couldn't take the harrassment anymore and separated and went hide under the grass... I am really sorry... I didn't know it was bugs cos it looked so weird... Pretty weird bugs ya? with one side flat................

Beeaauutiful sky~

This, was a view from Kranji MRT station.

And THIS! was something really amazing~ I do not know exactly all those sun refraction thingy, but it was EXTREMELY pretty~!!!!!! It's like rainbow around the clouds~! It wasn't that obvious in the photo but you still can see it. When I looked at it yesterday it was amazing. It was around 5:45pm. If I am super religious, I'd probably say the God is telling me something. wahahaha..

You can see it here too though not that obvious. I swear this is not any photo trick. This is the first time in my life I ever see something like this~! It's really amazing.

And today, on the way back from Jusco Tebrau City, the sun rays were rather pretty as well~! I didn't have my camera with me so I used my mobile phone to take these 2 photos. Quality not so good... but you can see the rays~

Rrrreeaally nice. And when I reached home I took my camera and took a few shots more. The sky wasn't this dark, but as I focus on the brightest area therefore the other parts in the photos were dark. This photo was taken when the sun was emerging from the clouds, that's a dangerous thing to do. The strong sunlight could damage my camera...

Nice eh?

Depressing weather

Oh what depressing weather these days.... sian.. we're going Tioman tomorrow~!!!! Please please the sky please clear up..........

According to Kaji Cuaca website, moderate rain occassionally until Thursday, which is today. Hopefully it's accurate...
