January 21 We're all so uglyI'd say that God was playing favourites abit when He created the world. How come ocean critters are so beautiful, the fishes with their colours more numerous than the rainbow, their pattern diverse and special to each one, while us humans are a drab beige, white, or brown....?
So I'm in a pretty good mood today cuz we had 2 good dives, without the noisy annoying complaining DSDs. 1st one was midreef wreck. 2 huge lionfishes! Too bad my camera kind of went dodgy on me...so the pics probably wont come out. Took a few pics with dad too. Wonder if those will come out. Bad part: heard a huge "boom" while diving - illegal fishbombers. Damn them...destroying all the corals. Freaked the British leisure diver out. If u see beggars on kk's streets with a stump for an arm, you should know they dont deserve your simpathy.
2nd dive, sapi reef. Very happy. Saw lots of blue spotted stingrays, 2 squids (1 was tiny and hiding in the sand - so cute!), an unusual nudibranch, school of juvenile barracuda.
Besides diving, I don't think I've been doing much. Met s3zhong classmates, met YSW and CSY for lunch, met JC and co. Jogging abit. Pretty much it. Bo~~ ring! January 14 im old-ishHey I've been to Salim like twice and both times they'd ran out of thosai! wtf?!?
The other day it was just me and KY rite...2 people nothing to do at 10 at night. She drove me! haha...in her huge noisy Ninja man. Aiks...not to say her driving bad ah. Just car very big lah. Anyway...had a hankering for zhen zhu nai cha aka pearl milky tea (ok sounds kinda silly in direct translation, but anyway...) Oh yeah and all we could see there were those 'lala'. Feel like auntie...shaking or heads at 'todays kids'. So noisy there was hard to even hear each other. Nvm, 'kena halau' at closing time 11-ish so where did we scamper off to? Neh...Salim lo...24 hours mah... the weird thing is that we didnt order drinks there and just eat 1 roti tissue. Yeah, was good to see her again. Still good ole good ole...
Then yesterday met up with JM and KK as Salim...again.Had a nice time catching up...talked quite abit about that darn secondary school we all used to go to. And some of their darn teachers...and rabid dogs...and the white Wira that never leaves the school. If you studied there those might ring a bell. Was good...good that we went to there so we didn't have to worry bout 'kena halau' from the premises at closing time. And I had 2 teh madras...talk about bad for health.
Today...beach clean-up at Sapi. Buddied with sis...each armed with a nylon net. Visibility was crap. What did we get? I think it was 3 bottles, 1 can, 1 plastic spoon, a few plastic bags, 2 cigarette packets, and a T-shirt. A pretty new T-shirt actually. No...I didn't take it home to wear.
Anyway...stuff the cleaning. Was a long dive...I think 1 hour? Saw a crocodile fish. Pretty happy bout that. I don't ask for too much anymore.Also met a really cute solitary batfish hovering on top of a reef ball.
gtg be cab driver for someone now...
Oh yeah and the time is still Brisbane time. I know there's a way of changing it but I'm lazy... January 09 im sleepyIt's past 2am...and what am I doing? Waiting for some codec thingy to download, cuz apparently it's my fault we cant watch The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. My bad...my fault...la di dah...so long and thanks for all the fish. Anyway, this blog is a time-passer. It exists so I can type and the 10mins left of dl time can go by. Today's been ok. Got lots of stuff I've had to get done...er...done. Change spec lenses...bought white shirt...years supply of contact lenses and solution. I need a shirt cuz I might have to work in an office next year. Hah! imagine that. Hope it wont be as boring as it sounds. Oh well at least clumsy me wont be burning myself all the time. 10 mins left till end of dl. What else. Met up with some ppl. Sometimes I forget that everyone else is also getting older. ML's going overseas to study too. EW finished secondary school. AD still looks exactly the same. The new place warisan plaza...not bad. Big brands. Too bad Secret recipe sucks! Hello...big secret - chocolate fudge is actually choc sponge cake with cream. I would call that a lie more than a secret. 4 Mins. Oh yeah bumped into JM there as well. How weird...you spend a year in Bris, hardly ever see someone else who lives there and badabing...you bump into each other in kk. Call this a small town...oops...I mean City. January 04 Oh no...it is hotteromg omg...I'm back. Yeah...big deal.
I've barely been here and I cant stop complaining. Where should I start? The wet stinking toilets with no hooks for hanging your belongings, the sour faced immigration officers who look like they've got nails stuck up their arses, or the blazing heat? omg...I'm a b|tcher. So what? I'm hot and stinking from the traffic jam I just escaped from. Damn TTSS... And not to mention a morning visit to the friggin' public dentists office. The word 'hate' doesn't even come close.
I realize I have neglected this space. Lost the mood for it. Let's see...I think I can summarize almost a month of my life in a string of words. Work, eat, coffee, sleep, Harbour Town, cheap Vietnamese food at West End, workmates' Christmas party, fireworks, head-busting migraine, Christmas presents, boredom, NYE at Auntie's, 1st touch footie game. Besides helping me remember what I've been doing, typing here feels kinda redundant.
Flight wasn't too bad. At least I had a personal tv screen hey? And sat with a guy who studied in IS ordinary science. Small small world. Yeah...the really dark tall guy who played bball.
man...I need to go diving real soon or I'll just implode right here in front of the computer.
