Diving trip Mar'06 - Sipadan (3)

I like to take photos of these tunicates. Very colourful.

Ribbon eel.

Nudibranch mating, I deliberately chose an angle to include a third one below. But still it wasn't a very nice composed photo.

The "Pikachu" nudibranch~

From the restaurant. Taken during lunch.

Scorpion fish? Looks like a human face, ain't it?



Clockwise from top :Hazel, Shirley S, me, Shirley T.

Sunrise.






We played with these tiny hermit crabs, they were so small, but they've got quite powerful strength.


We were doing the "海带海带海带" game...

This is on Sipadan island itself, where we were having surface interval.

The oil rig turned resort Seaventure. It's a lot cheaper staying there but you'll be staying in containers... We dive below it.. such a boring dive.. Nothing to see...

During low tide.

A view from inside the room.

There's a village on this small Mabul island. Lots of sea shells being sold.

The children are adorable.

I love the frown on this boy's face. I kept saying, this is the "National Geographic look". haha... This boy is the ONLY child who didn't get all excited when we're taking photos of him. He's very protective over his pet. I don't know if that's a chicken or what.. It's a bit bald.. but very cute.

See this house.... so pretty... so primitive but very nice.

Me~!

The children are ever so happy when they see us the visitors. "Halo! Halo!" everywhere you go. And they would be so happy if you take their photos even if they don't get to see the photos. Some did asked to see their photos in the "kotak"( "box", meaning the camera) but most didn't.



The number of children seemed to exceed that of the adults.......
It's kind of difficult to accept the fact that this IS still in Malaysia...

This is the Mabul Water Bungalow. It's very luxurious, each room has got astro tv...

Very romantic and nice ambience.

It would be nice to stay here even without diving. Just relax and chill..

Our last day before leaving.





That's it. Our 5 days trip in Sipadan... I missed the ocean already.............. .................. ...............

We went Kuching one day before heading back to Singapore. This is Cheng Ho's Park or something. See that statue is Cheng Ho.


ST and me. I look so damn ugly.

Buying local food. Me and Hazel.

Cat statues everywhere.

This is one of the many temples in Kuching. I'm not so interested in temples so I only post this photo.

A river in Kuching. See the sampan, it's got a man seemingly rowing it but in actual fact, the sampan runs on motor... 30sen to get you across the river.

Don't like long neck...

I realised I am "afraid" of guys with long neck…… bit scary, don’t you think? A bit of a turn-off to me.

I think guys with long neck ought NOT to keep short hair…Else.. you know… from behind it looks exactly like…

a light bulb…




I expect guys with long neck upon seeing this will say, “Well, short girls turn me off as well.”

That’s fine, you know. Cos, in that case, we’ll have nothing to do with each other. Wahahhaaha……

Got back my Miko

I was supposed to fetch my Miko back on Wed but the caretaker wasn't available even though I've informed her about the date I'm fetching my chin. So I only got to see my Miko yesterday.

She seemed to be in good condition. She let me "sayang" (caress) her while she's in the box; unlike how she was when we were sending her to the caretaker. We "kiss"through the small opening on the box. haha... Very happy that she acknowledged me and allowed me to kiss her.

She also seemed to be happy to see me. I was worried that she won't remember me and we have to build our relationship all over again... Luckily that wasn't the case.

But today I'm going back JB. After one day she got to roam free in my room, she has to be kept in the cage for 2 days until I come back on Sunday. Poor Miko... She wanted to get out of the cage this morning.. but I didn't let her. It would be difficult to get her back in a short time. Sorry Miko.. you have to suffer for another 2 days in the cage...
