Tioman Mar'07

Finally went diving after 7months of waiting..... That's a long wait... more than half a year. Must dive more this year..

Some photos from the trip. Kitty checking us out while we're setting up gears.


This batfish is really big~ this is a cleaning station. Saw quite a few cleaning stations this trip. Fun~


My favourite photos of the trip~ whole family of anemone fish.

Barracuda~~ I like~~



Fatty shark~~ Blacktip.


Our divers rescuing reef fishes caught by fishermen's er... what do you call that.. trap? Bubu?


I always like to see cuttlefish~~


This is a giant grouper, really big! At least 3meters long. I just had a 2second glimpse and it went hide among the rocks.... Very lucky to catch this photo.. I just anyhow press the shutter from above. Too tired to go down there to chase it....

Dive shop boss Akemi~ She had red eyes... so had to wear the sunglasses. I love diving with them as they provide more than sufficient water when we go out on boat.

Gabriel cutting sea urchins to feed the fishes. hehe.. I wanted to cut one too but the urchins were too close together and I dare not...

I can't figure out what this is...

A dying jellyfish.... poor thing...


Me and friends.

A kid at Mersing jetty.

I love going Tioman. It's near, no need to take leave, dive shop is nice, resort is nice. Just a short vacation over the weekend. Nice~~

That's so stuuuuupid

I am just sooooo stuuupid at navigation, "daily navigation". Yeah, even everyday life going to places I've never been is a "navigation test" to me....

Takashimaya, everybody goes Takashimaya. Everybody goes from Wisma Atria to Taka. I have to see the signs to find my way to MRT/Atria/Taka... can you believe it?

And one day, Gab was waiting for me at the pick up point/taxi stand. Holding one magazine in my hand, an ice-blended mocha and a latte for him, I walked round and round like an idiot. And after so much walking I still couldn't find the taxi stand. Gab called me and said it's at Cartier/Tiffany there. I refered to the directory, then only I found my way. How stttttuuuupid can I be????

The other day, I drove to a place, I parked the car at block 3 but later the shop I wanted to go is at block 2. I got what I wanted to buy. ANd guess what... I could not find the correct car park!!!!! Aaarrgghhhhhh... Why am I so stuuuuuupid???? It's just the next block... But I just couldn't find it until perhaps 10minutes later............... Uuurggghhhh....

ST said I am not stupid as I know how to read map since many girls can't. But girls can "navigate" well in shopping malls! I can even get lost in the famous shopping malls or best still, lost between 2 HDB blocks.... Geez..... Plain stupid.

I haven't been to Vivocity. I heard you can get lost in there. I better not go alone. wahahahaha...

Still.....

I still, love him...

No matter how I try to convince myself, no matter how I try to deceive myself, I still love him...

However much I cry, however sad I feel, I still love him... I am just as hopeless.

There's nothing I can do about it. My tears never run dry for him. Yet, I still love him. I have given up trying to stop myself from loving him......

Why did I say that......

Recently I wore back one of my favourite pendants - one which has got the shape like the Australia continent, with a shark engraved on it.

I ordered it from US via internet shopping. The cost of the pendant was same with the courier charges... I didn't notice from the photo on the net that it was of shiny finish. And because it's quite big, with shiny surface, it looked like a pendant which Ah Beng wears...

As my company has sandblast machine, I asked a favour from my colleague to sandblast it. I covered the engraved shark with plasticine, then get my colleague to sandblast it. The result was fabulous, it then has a matt surface.

But after that I don't know why it tends to turn yellow. Silver turns black after sometimes, but my turns yellow.. anyway, it's still pretty.

The other day I was at COffee Bean. The staff commented my pendant was very pretty. I thanked her. And we continued to chat about the pendant. I told her I ordered the pendant from US. but........ why did I tell her that? She never asked where I bought it. I "automatically" offered this info, will make people think I am "hao lian". But I just like my pendant so much that I can't stop talking about it and in the end, told people where I bought it. Why did I do that? It's stupid. Like, so what you bought it from US......... Plain stupid.

Must I tell him everything

I just got to rant. Even if this"主角"see this post.

This man, made the pantry so dirty. He doesn't close the lid of sugar/coffee properly, coffee and sugar gets everywhere after he made coffee, he never wipes them clean. I still can take this. BUT, after he opened a new packet of sugar, refilled in the container, he would just loosely tie a rubber band on it. Small cockroaches can easily crawl into it.

So I wrote a big big note, "Please put the opened sugar into a zip lock bag. It's not hygienic as there are many cockroaches." and stick at the pantry, with Chinese translation of the note too (some might not understand English).

Then it was followed.

Yesterday, my boss's parents send him Japanese 甜糕 and I left it in the pantry for everyone to share. I didn't cut it into pieces yet as I was busy.

Then this man, cut the 甜糕 , ate it, and just left the rest like that on the pantry table.

What the @*#*$#%!!

Can't he get a ziplock bag and put the food inside? (there are plenty of ziplock bags in my company)

Doesn't he have a brain to think? Must I tell him everything? Must I write specifically, "please put opened sugar, tidbits, biscuit, and any food that comes into our pantry in ziplock bag"????!!

It just gets on my nerve soooooooooooooo much.

Powerful coffee...

Wow, Yews Cafe's coffee is so powerful.... I had 2 coffee and I couldn't sleep last night, and kept tossing about until my bro was about to leave home for Changi Airport around 5am. Afterwards I tried to sleep but still... couldn't really fall asleep until about 7am. But I had to wake up at 8:30am and prepare to go for badminton with CK...

I sms YY and YK, asked if they are the same. And they are. hahaha.. so funny, YK couldn't sleep till 3am, YY couldn't sleep till 4am. I wasn't very tired, but felt it's so funny... super powerful coffee. YY and YK had only one coffee, but we also had at least 2 cup of tea after the coffee.. Too much caffeine...

Just taken my shower and lunch after the badminton session. Wah, super tired.. not because didn't sleep well, but I've gone all out and used up all my energy... until I couldn't differentiate where my court was when I came out from toilet... man... and I am very tired now. aiks... have to go back Sg.. and I want to go Orchard to buy a soft toy for myself... tired........

With friends during CNY

Last Saturday we all went ST's house 拜年. It was a bit like a bb gathering. hahah..
Afterwards we went to eat porridge steamboat. CK was so happy that he finally found this place.
Gigi, Shixiong, Patrick.
Patrick, CK and Angel.

YK and I. YK is forever so pretty like a star. Gosh... I am dammmnnnn fat.... CK took the photo, the subject here in this photo was the food, not us...

My Shixiong making faces~ hehe...

We all anticipated to see the porridge becoming green as Angel said it would, after we put in all the vege.

It only turned slightly green. It was not too bad, the porridge taste at this point.
Personally I never liked steamboat. I don't find it tasty. This porridge steamboat was no difference. Of cos , this is only my personal preference.

Today (3/3/07), YY, YK and I finally went out together. I have been waiting for YY to come back JB since 2 mths before CNY to go out with YK. hehe.... YK is going back to UK soon.

We went Yew's Cafe.
Actually, taking photos like this is kind of boring... but because we don't meet each other often and YK is going back UK soon, I feel that we must cherish the time we have together. hehe.. and so I took photos.


I was also lazy to bring out my camera BUT I just dyed my hair back to brown, so I want to take photos!!! I still love brown hair than dark brown/black~~ It cheers me up everytime I look into the mirror. hahaaaa...

The two girls with the drinks~ the drinks looked pretty. haha...

and the food~ The food wasn't very tasty actually. But what we liked was the ambience. We had a great time just lazying and chatting.

Spent 3+hours at Yew's, then changed to Purple Lotus. We were there around 7pm, and there was not a customer in there.... man..... We only had finger food there and big cup of tea.


Although there's nothing special every time posting about friends' outing, it's a record of memory. And it's a fun thing to do, to write blog about all these.

Back to brown

Dyed my hair back to brown yesterday. Even though I just spent RM100 about 1+mth ago to highlight my hair.

I reached home at 10:30pm, a bit late to dye hair but I didn't want to wait until weekend. Bad mood yesterday, and my dark brown/black hair colour made it worse. So out of impulse, I went bought the thing and dyed my hair back to brown. Not exactly the brown I wanted, but better than dark brown/black.

Cheered me up a little bit.

Recently my temper seems a bit hot. Lots of people, colleagues mainly, seem to get on my nerves a lot.

I hate living

I hate this Chinese New Year. This is the worst new year I’ve ever had. Or is it? Or it has been the same degree of “worst” for the past few years?

I am unhappy. I am extremely unhappy. I hope I have the courage to die. But I am a God damn coward who dares only to write about death.

What meaning is there to live when I only melancholy everyday? What meaning is there when I cannot be happy?

Would I really have the courage to die? Would I? Would I not? Would I?.......


I thought I’ve passed through that phase. Turned out that I have not.

Bad dreams again

Why do I keep having bad dreams lately? Yesterday I dreamt that someone (2girls) insisted to carry my Miko. But my Miko will not allow people carry her. I yelled at them DO NOT CARRY HER! But still they fight to carry my Miko. And while they were fighting for Miko, just beneath it is a fish tank, with water in it of course. I was afraid while they fight for Miko, Miko will fell into the water. And it did.

ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!! I quickly carry Miko back out. She passed out. I felt her heartbeat, still beating fast. So I did “resuscitation” by pumping on her heart gently… And she threw out the water in her, just like a human……………. I was soooo damn relieved.

But she was still wet and in cold. So I put her in my shirt, holding her around my chest. And she laid there quietly like an angel. I took a towel and wrapped around her to keep her warmer and wipe off the water.

Then I woke up.

Shit. Don’t understand why do I keep having bad dreams. I hardly have any bad dreams usually.

No fun dream

Oh my gosh.... had a horrifying dream... I was in the worst freak waves ever! It was at least 30m high, more horrifying than the best Hollywood movie (of cos.. it's a DREAM)..

We were on a normal size ship, I can see other ships struggling on the super high waves. Soon our ship will join them as the enormous amount of water is coming towards our ship. Horrible....

I was awaken by my own shiver. I have never experienced this before. I had been awaken by super fast heartbeat before but not shiver. I literally shivered from head to toe, part by part of my body at the moment I woke up. And I continue to shiver uncontrollably for a while. The air-cond temperature in my room is no where near the point which could make me shiver...

Having to watch the enormous amount of water coming soon towards you, just like in the movie, is no fun thing...

Holiday is nearly over

Friday, the 7th day holiday for CNY. 2 more days to go and I'd start heading back working like a normal person does again. I hate working. Everybody hates working. I love shopping, but I have to control. Cos I ain't loaded. And I ain't got a rich boyfriend or husband who can sup a $10,000 limit credit card to me.

Still, today, went out with YK for a little shopping. Spent over RM300 on Shu Uemura products... if I've said it once I've said it a million times, shopping and spending money is more addictive than drugs, I'm telling you. Once you start spending money, you'd feel so good, like you're in heaven, and you'd want to spend again. But it feels like you're out of drugs when you see your credit card bills....

The life of a tai-tai... I can only imagine. If I'm a tai-tai, I'd probably learn piano on Monday, facial on Tuesday, shopping on Wednesday, learn violin on Thursday, shopping again on Friday, lim teh with friends on Saturday, or maybe walk the dogs, and accompany husband on Sunday. Wahahahaha.. PPPERFECT! ....... I dream too much.

Anyway, yesterday night I had a horrible dream. I dream that all of a sudden, I discovered that I've got a new tattoo on the back of my shoulder, the same place around my first one. My new tattoo, a dolphin with a Santa Claus and an elf or deer or smthg.......... weird... ridiculous.... Guess I hope there's a Santa Claus to fulfill my wants.. And the horrible part was, I realised my first tattoo of a dolphin breaching out of water had been lasered off!!!!!!!!! aaaahhhhhhhhh............. it was so ugly as there're scars visible. And this is my precious tattoo, how could I have lasered off??? I was sooooo heartpain, the dream was sooooo real....... damn scary..... I don't like this dream.
