i saw a whole school of dolphins. they were swimming right alongside the boat and were so close! other highlights of the dive trip (indonesia n m'sia): - enormous pink jellyfish swam right past my head. did my best to avoid it by squishing myself to the side of the boat in an attempt to get the largest possible distance btwn myself n the huge thing. - 2 small puffer fish hiding underneath coral - 2 trigger fish on one of the dives at P.Pinang. one of them was a huge black one, and threatened to attack! got away as quick as possible by finning madly away, all the while watching it to make sure it dint come any closer - viz at Jack Rock dropped from 5m to ard 2m! as a result cldn't find the nurse sharks - the actual 7 skies wreck tt i saw was only a v small part - the bridge. fortunately the descent line was v clean, unlike the one on the prev dive at aur where there were millions of sea cockroaches... the liveaboard was v fun on the whole. gr8 food! dint get seasick, and cld even manage to sleep v soundly despite pitching of the boat all thru the night. when i arrived back in s'pore and back on land, i cld still feel the rocking of the boat. cldn't get used to being on land again after 3 non-stop days at sea...
watched R.V today. very absurd and at times plain ridiculous, but a gd laugh. some v predictable scenes, but on the whole it was harmless fun. as u can see i'm doing hardly any mugging. barney and his frens were singing away at ps. incredible crowd enjoying their performance. lots of ppl (and not just the kids) were also shouting along with the dinosaurs, professing their love for one another. what on earth is so appealing abt a purple dinosaur with a perpetually open and grinning mouth, stunted useless arms and a stomach so huge it cant even peek at its toes? realized stuff in carrefour are way cheaper than stuff we usually buy frm cold storage/ntuc/ shop n save. unfortunately it is a considerable distance btwn ps and my house, which meant i had to lug loads of stuff over a longer dist than usual (ie. frm holland v to my house). i found something today. far from good, but it'll have to do.
CIP today again. the kids have really evolved, from the first time we met them. the younger grp esp, who were terrors on the first day. today they were practically angels - they listened to instructions, got organized very quickly and were basically surprisingly well-behaved. i'd like to think it's cos they respect us and wanna be on their best behavior for our sake, but it's likely all thanks to the lure of sweets. who said bribery doesn't work? have i been mugging 10hrs a day like some ppl? no. i can't sit half an hour at my desk without feeling restless. funny, cos i can sit for hours on end with a gd bk, and yet i can't even tolerate 30 mins with my notes. glad i'll be going diving this wkend. nowhere far, but at least i'll be away. while the rest will be returning frm hk/macau/guangzhou (which is where they went), i'll be heading off, matching their two weeks with my two days. hmm. finished reading the dark tower today. i wldn't wanna be in the gunslinger's place. an endless, vicious cycle of suffering. urrgh. to get to the end and return to the beginning, and to do that over and over again, is worse than death. while the others get reunited and live 'happily ever after'.
went to mt faber park & harbourfront ytd, for want of fresh air. stupid construction opp my block. terrible noise and a total nuisance. it just absolutely had to rain this morning, just when i'd planned to go for an early morning swim. more time?
watched the Bus Uncle video on youtube ytd. now i know one more cantonese swear phrase! haha. the uncle kept on repeating tt one phrase, tho. dint he have more to share? home alone. rosemary's baby. |
