i am back from tioman le !!!

it was a nice get away from sg.. life there was slow paced n stress free.. things there were cheap.. especially the beers.. lol.. its a pity the four of us didnt bring along any cameras.. only had the hp to play around..

Friday was off day for mi.. woke up early and went over to bugis to pray with dear.. after which we went shopping for my bag.. bcos i cant find any bags at home big enough to carry all my stuffs.. went over to dear's place and started packing all my stuffs.. did our assessment.. then we rushed down to SSI..

The trip there was long n boring.. 3 hours of bus trip plus 4 hours of boat ride.. we reached tioman in the wee hours where everyone was soundly aslp.. barely catching 2 hrs' of slp.. we woke up n prepared for our first open water dive ! The first few dives were ok.. bcos basically we were just recapping all the 7 basic skills under water..

the whole day ended around 9 plus.. n we headed for dinner plus our theory test.. lol.. basicalli the instructors just closed both eyes haha..

woke up around 8 plus on sunday.. and we set off for our 3rd and 4th dive.. these 2 dives are considered leisure dives.. thus we got to see alot of things ! its quite scary to see all the sea urchins underneath and on the walls of the jetty.. and we get to feed all the fishes... its so nice to have a large school of them swimming all around u.. heee..

The last dive was interesting.. i saw a cuttlefish.. and clownfish.. on the way up.. i was jellyfishes too !! but its scary.. cos they are poisonous.. and we saw a very very huge jellyfish which look like the Portuguese Man-of-War.. scary.. likely we were all on board already..

We had a quick lunch and headed back to sg.. reached here around 9 plus... i went back to dear's place... and ko...

All in all.. it was a good experience.. though i was disappointed with tioman.. its too commercialised.. not as nice as i expected.. but I do love the feeling underwater.. cant wait to go for another diving trip! hee..
