tioman - season 2

yeah.. this is season 2..

why?? let me tell u a story.. barely a week after that first trip..i was again 'pancing-ed' to yet another 5N6D trip to tioman. it didnt take much to make me say yes.

we started our trip on thur's nite. instead of tg gems, we went via mersing.

well, i tried to stay awake during the whole journey as mr B volunteered to drive mr blacky but i was mentally drained by then due to work which is really giving me the migrane i so not needed. and i fell asleep anyway. we arrived in time. which is good.

the only qualms i have abt the trip was that i was already dark from the first trip.. my skin has yet to go back to its normal tone.. and im adding some more tone on it..

see what i mean?
it will take alot of fair & lovely to get me back into that pre-tioman tone..

ADC was surprised to see me back.. hah!

while mr b went straight to do his OWC.. i went with the fun dive group.

first dive.. everything went wrong.. you know how it feels like jatuh tangga & then ur head banged against the corner of the stone wall.. well, less drastic but similar concept.

first.. i cant descent... i deflated fully.. breathe like i usually did.. i was still up on the surface.. while everybody was already down there looking up.. f*ck. this is just not making any sense.. one of the DMT.. lets call him mr A pulled me down.. that is already an embarassment enough.

but the show has to go on..

then.. half way through - current came. mind you.. it was not even strong. not like the one in che-beh. my bcd was fully deflated.. and yet up up and away i go..

ya.. it sucks!! me truly not liking the first dive.

2nd dive.. i used 3 weights.. which is wierd.. coz all these years.. i'm only using 2 weights and its more than enough.. 3 was too heavy last time.. maybe i gained weight hah! damn..

oh well.. the 2nd dive.. i was still trying to get the hang of it.. arggghh..

by the 2nd day.. things were much better. not 100% perfect yet.. but better.

so.. imagine 5 days of being under the sun..

you cant even begin to imagine how dark i am now..
but to tell u the truth.. it was worth it.

see for ur self.

a close up picture of my descending .. not a pretty sight but still..

a view from the top - see the sun streaming down? cool huh..

kinda looks like diving in an aquarium, kan...

one of them favourite pictures of mine. bat fish kept on following me.. apparently.
nice ha..
this was me fighting the current. mr b even with the current, still managed to take pictures. bravo bravo. i had to swim so closely to the corals so i dun have to fight so much. half way through.. i was too tired to even fin. i literally feel my body or rather my feet - shutting down.

but as they, it aint over until the fat lady sing.
basically.. i cant stop..

finally, we reached our pit stop.. this is me doing whatever during safety stop..

well.. i truly had fun. did a total of 8 dives.

thats about it. since this post has been in my draft for quite some time now.. im just gonna post this as it is.. i was thinking of adding more pictures from my camera.. but.. malas la..
its a diving trip for G's sake. u dont need to hear stories about me having lunch/ dinner or my other activities - all that kan..

:P

last but not least.. thank you buddy for pancing'ed me into this trip..
and congrats on your OW cert.

season 3... coming right up.. errrr...
lama lagi..
hehhe.
