Met yh for lunch.
Back home to rest for awhile.
Met Faith at Sengkang and Jac and juliet at Lorong Chuan.

Actually I quite enjoy doing this kind of thing.
Most of the bbq I will prefer bbq-ing than sitting down and wait for food..

20 July 2010

Had the most hectic day on Friday.
The overloading of work..
The sudden urgent of item needed to supply...
Damn it all.
Almost decided no to go for the LOB..
But it all ends well.
I still went to the LOB. =)

Told Dave I will only reach by 7.45pm..
I'm the last to arrive. heh..
Met a few new divers..
That made the dive trip overall... Nice!
Much better than the previous dive obviously..
I already knew Kelly and Thomas.. Charlie too.
And 2 of their friends.. Jeffrey and Jiexin..
Kelly and Thomas are actually quite nice people to talk with.. Play with..
Charlie is 1 hell of a craper. Thats why I can get along well with them I guess.
Jeffrey... First glance.. I think hes a geek. No comments.. No hard feelings huh. hah.
Jiexin.. quite a cute girl. oh ya shes 26.. But don't seems look like 1.. She looks like 21 or 22.. I think is because she keeping her hair tied up.. At night.. when she let down her hair.. wow. I think shes pretty.. especially her side view..
Abit of in her own world type.. a little la. A mayday Fan!! interesting..
And a group of other divers.. Basically theres only 2 grp of divers..
The other and us..

First dive at Jahut..
Weiyan - leader
Me, Thomas, Charlie - Rescue
Jerad - Adv
Kelly, Jiexin - Leisure.
KELLY AND JIEXIN can't descend! The current was kinda strong.. In the end, our dive cancel! NBBBBBB
So Weiyan told us, Rescue divers to bring 1 extra weight each for the next dive.. Just in case...

2nd dive at Renggis.
Weiyan - Leader
Me, Charlie - Rescue
Jerad - Adv
Weiyan said CONFIRM got test here.
Dave and Ewan won't miss this chance...
While diving. I carried 4 weights. SUPER HEAVY.. I pump quite alot air into my bcd to maintain my buoyancy..
Dive was boring as usual..
Assist Weiyan to let Jerad do this navigation.
Weiyan suddenly turned and looked at me.. OUT OF AIR DIVER.
I swam to him and gave him my octopus..
Kinda slow reacting. haha. But still made it..
Up to surface..
Missing DIVER! Charlie went down. I went to help.. After bringing Ewan up.. Somehow Charlie "fail" cozs he did some mistake.
Suddenly again! Missing diver.
Thomas went down. I helped again..
Kinda slow in giving rescue breath.
Brought him up.. Charlie acted as the team manager this time to command. And gave Cpr.. Overall pass.. =)

Went to shore for DFS! =) hehe.
bought 3 pack cigarettes.. Coz I had none. haha. Prepared to smuggle into Singapore..
3rd dive at Tiger Reef...
Strong wave.. Strong current.. I LIKE! aahha
Weiyan - Leader
Me, Thomas, Charlie - Rescue
Jerad - Adv
Kelly, Jiexin - Leisure.
This time round my buddy was Jiexin..
I think girls kinda weak with current thingy..
But cant blame.. Its really tiring cozs our boat was not tied to the rope..
Black manta was there and was already tied to the rope..
So we gotta swim over to grab it..
In the end.. The Lineup for us abit screwed up. But we still made it down.
Jiexin had some problem going down.. I was thinking to grab her by her arm to descend. When I approached her, she gave me her hand.. I was like ... Hmmmmm..
So I hold her hand and descend with her..
Then I thought of Yuliang instantly.. ahahaaa..
So now I know the feeling.. But I think its seriously alright to do it with a clear mind only to help ppl. =)
The dive was not bad.. Saw 3 small moray eels.. cute..
Oh ya.. I took 20bar of air from the boat to the rope and descend.. Which I thought was very good! Some already used 50bar. hahah.
No rescue test for this dive site.. Too dangerous..

Next location was Labas..
While approaching, Charlie and I still in our wetsuit fearing EWAN and DAVE will surprise us..
Until we reminded each other we needed the toilet.. hahaha.
Took off wetsuit and woot. time to Shit. ahhaha.
Just when I Finished with my business.
I heard people shouting.
Rushed out!
EWAN and DAVE was in the water. NB.. Thomas and Charlie rushed down.
Thomas acted as the Manager now. While Charlie and I wore our suit. with the Help of thomas. And down we Go!!!!!
THEY WERE ALREADY DAMN FAR.. like.. 50m?
CHIONG AH.. I was the first to use the pocket mask. hehe.
My comments was "Not bad. Quite careful with what you did. BUT thus will slow down some stuff. And I skipped a few steps"
Charlie's was "Try not to go with fully inflated BCD. HAlf or totally deflat will be good when handling panick diver.. So when they try to grab u or push u down, you can straight away descend. And you can try saying things like I'm going to knock you! So I assumed you knock me down and will be unconscious"
haha. Fun right!
Oh ya, Thomas CPR passed.
Ewan comment was.. We don't really need to wear the wetsuit. Weiyan admitted he was the one that want us to wear it. =)
Rest awhile then the next dive..
Normal dive.
I forgot what test this time round. Thomas went to rescue dave.
Until dave was brought to the boat. SUBSTITUTE TO WEIYAN. to be pulled onto the boat. dave too heavy. hahaha.

Night Dive was ok.
SEA URCHINSSSSSSS.
Saw some small stuff..
Flower Crab? A crab that built a shell itself with the particle.
damn cute.. And the color of the shell depend on what the crab like! haha
And a small crab or lobster. whatever.. its like 1.5cm..
Ascend to a point quite far. So decided to play a prank on Thomas and Charlie that didn't go for the dive.
I told them many times no rescue on night dive
they waited tho..
When we reaching, we shouted salmon salmon. And they really prepare! Charlie wore his wet suit.. so sorry man!

Was having dinner. Shiok.
Dave told us the compressor got some problem.. Only 9 tanks available.. SADED.
So I didn't dive..
So we were wondering if we passed our rescue or not.. hmm..
Chat quite long with weiyan and jiexin. then slp. it rain at night. I didn't felt it. ahahaa.

Weiyan grp got lost in the nxt dive. ahhaa. descend wrong place with poor visbility..
haah....
then back to Singapore. Slp for awhile while the other grp used the lounge area..
when they went to slp, we went to the lounge and SING KTV. Until don't know what song to sing.. AND ITS MAYDAY CONCERT. We just selected alot of mayday songs and sing all the way to Singapore. Kinda fun. hahahha.

Overall this trip was... FUNN. Definitely. I won't mind going trip with them again..
Maybe September? Redang? =)

Training for Rescue Diver

Its been really tiring and busy these few days..
Had a super head cracking EFR course on Saturday.
9-4pm! omG. Soo lonng since I actually study.. hahaa.
Practical.
Theory was boring... luckily I pass on first attempt.
Scenario was fun!
We had to act 3 different scenario....
Mine was .. At a Stable.. A person fallen from a horse.. there are many people around..
Was abit stunned.. Lucky still reacted correctly..

Monday
Chiong to RSYC after work.
THEORY!! 3 hrs of theory followed by a test..
I tried to study and finish the knowledge at home..
2 hours and i only finished 2 chapters with remaining of 3 chapts to go...
Was rather worried about the exam.. haha.
So I basically watched the video and tried to answer the knowledge review.
PASSED! 46/50.. was shocked. But the question was rather easy.. hahaha.

Tuesday..
Rush down again..
Thomas and company bought mac for me.
Weiyan was late so we able to finish the meal first..
THe pool lesson was rather hectic..
Super tiring..
Acting panick diver and rescuer..
When my turn to rescue, i descend and tried to swim around thomas(panick diver) to grab his tank.
I couldn't hear what they talking above the water. I only know I swim around like 5 -6 rounds like shark waiting for prey.. haha NBBBB....
then found out it was weiyan idea to make me swim round and round..
THe most fun was Confidence test..
We had to go to the 3m deep pool and took every out except the mask..
not knowing which of my items is positive buoy.. I tried taking my fins first..
It floats! omg.
Pull it down, took out my weight belt and put on top of the fin.. followed by other fin. and 2 booties. all under the weight belt..
Then the BCD.. lucky bcd was neutral buoyant.. so it just hang there... then followed by my wetsuit. quite fun..
Surprisingly, I was the only 1 that able to complete it.
Thomas float up.. Charlie dont know do what.
Next was to go back down and wear the gear back..
But time up! Pack up and go...

TOMORROW will have a pool lesson.
This time, weiyan won't be taking. heard will be taken by EWAN. he sibei on as per weiyan.. I think I'm dead...

You have totally no idea how much I did behind the scene..
Well, you will never know..
The effort.. The time.. The money spent..
Just for your convenience.. your pleasure...
Everything is arranged nicely so you can enjoy....
You.. won't know....
came across this video.
its the piano piece by yiruma.. someone added lyrics to it.. think its quite nice.



You're the one that I live for.
Your eyes, your lips, your gentle soul.
I've longed for someone just like you
Who cares for me the way
you do
and you know
that I am
In love
You've given me everything,
your love, your heart, your life,
unselfishly.
And I know,
that I am
not enough.
You said to me,
"I love you
You are more than I could ask for, the first time that I saw you
you were nothing but a girl.
But then I realised that I must save you from whatever threat was craving for your soul. And now I know,
I cannot live without you. You're the reason why I still am alive, and I'll watch you from now till eternity.
Please stay by my side forever,
that's all that I'm asking for.
You have no idea how much you truly mean to me"
