It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.
But often, we just insist on making it complicated~

Rants
Now I finally understand why so many teachers tender their resignation after their bond has ended. I think all of us must understand the fact that even as teachers, we are humans too.
We, teachers aren’t there just to facilitate students in their learning. But more often, we have so many other responsibilities like accompanying students on field trips, help with the organization of school functions, and serve as supervisors for extracurricular activities. Some may even have responsibility for student discipline. To top off that, there’s like meetings and meetings and more meetings, its crazy.
I guess even as teachers, we have the right to rest too right?
You can’t expect us to act like a teacher 24/7. Yes we have to be professional and yada yada when we’re in school, but once off school, we are free to do the things we want, no?
(Anyway just to kill your curiousity for most of you out there, I am now doing my contract in a primary school (sort of like relief teaching) before admitting to NIE next year because I haven clear my EPT test, so quit asking)
I don’t think being a teacher, means that u gotta dressed like one EVEN during the weekends. So are u telling me that if u’re a doctor, u should dressed like one everyday too? Like wearing your boring white coat with your stethoscope resting on your neck? I doubt so. So what is it about me, or how did I potray myself to be that u think I am defintely not cut out for teaching?
Its not like I always curse and swear with all the f word + hokkien vulgarities splashing all over my entire blog posts right. And neither do I post up offensive pictures like me pointing my middle finger or me posting up nude pictures right.
So why are all of you thinking that I am a bitch and all!?
You obviously haven’t seen me in school teaching before, how I conduct my lessons and how I treat this profession so seriously. But at the end of the day, once I have finished everything that I am required of, my work ends there, I can be back to ‘myself’ right? Even one of the HOD was talking to me the other day, and he told me that he is actually quite ‘ahbeng’ outside, all his friends called him ‘ahbeng teacher’. He even said “teachers are the best actors you can ever find” because simply we have to act like one fucking perfect teacher even though we may not be one. We just HAVE TO potray that image for everyone else to see. U think teachers don’t smoke too? Well then u’re so damn wrong. I’ve seen so many teachers smoking before in the sly; hiding at the back of the canteen, sneaking out of school etc. So what does this means? Teachers who smokes = bad teachers? I don’t think so.
Of course by judging me based on this space alone, you wouldn’t know any shit about me because who the hell would write every single detail about themselves on ur so called ‘personal’ blog entries when its already quite not personal?
We all have our own social life too and our own ways of relaxation. Just admit it. To someone, it may be in the form of reading a book, staying at home, watching tv shows, using the net. To others, it could be meeting up with friends for a coffee, chat, catching a movie. There are some too, who go clubbing and partying everyweek because that’s how they destress. So anything wrong with that too?
I don’t think so too because we all do have our own lives to lead too. Otherwise, why promote a 5 day work week? Might as well work 7days per week all year round...
Perhaps the day me starting out to work as a permanent teacher ( I reckon is around 24years old), I would have already stopped blogging. Who knows?
Who will still ever read this space? My pri school students? Fellow colleagues? Parents?
When I posted out entries on my thoughts, and please note its about HOW i FEEL and THINK, it turned out that there were so many mean and nasty comments being bombarded to me from almost everywhere.
And when I posted entries about me travelling, there came comments saying I am hao lian/show off.
So when u go overseas, u don't bring a camera along and take pictures? Obviously u do right!! And since I have a blog, why not showcase some of my holiday pictures right!? Anything wrong with that too?
Then when I decided to blog ‘more pictures less words’ posts, I got negative feedbacks again.
So do y'all want me to bore you to death by blogging about my everyday-life-in-school-activities? For example...
1) Today so sian. Students are driving me crazy..... how come teach this topic one whole week already they still dunno anything.............aiyooooooooooooooo
OR
2) haiiiiiiiiiiiii today i stayed back in school to finish up my lesson plan, do up my powerpoint slides for the lesson...........tireddd~~~
OMG BORING CAN!?
Definitely i will blog on my 'weekend' life which are more happening althought not VERY happening but still, anything beats blogging about ur boring school life~
Then now, anonymous people just have to say "You're a fucking bitch", "Stop thinking that u're pretty and popular" and the nonsensical list just goes on......
Get this clear.
Never once did I EVER self claimed that I am pretty/chio/kawaii/mei nu in my posts.
So whats with all of you commenting and saying that I think that I am pretty and popular??
I am not afraid to admit but I don’t think that I am someone who is ugly-ugly. I would say I am an average because its so obvious there are so many, many other girls out there who are so damn hot and pretty. But even if u all really think I am that UGLY-UGLY sort of girl, doesn’t mean that I have no right to take a picture of myself and post it up on the net right?
Afterall, its MY blog.
U chose to view my blog, no one forced you to read it.
So why must u all always give such nasty negative comments like I have cursed and sweared at you+ur parents+ur future children+ur future grandchildren!?
I mean its fine if 1 or 2 out of 10comments are nasty ones but at the rate its going, its like 8/10 are bad ones ok. And not like the nasty comments is just normal-nasty but its damn freaking meannnnnn ok, it sets me thinking if I am THAT detestable?!
Or how can u all really hate-hate someone just based on reading his/her blog entries?!
AM I REALLY THAT DETESTABLE NOT FRIENDS?!?!?!
I admit I am quite la sometimes. But not to this extent right.
Aiyahhhhhh I don’t know la. I am expecting a lot of ‘haters’ comments’ once this post is published, but I really don’t give a heck anymore.
SPAM ALL U WANT BECAUSE I HAVE MY COMMENTS BEING MODERATED.
U can forget about having ur mean&nasty comments being published on my posts (hahahahahaaaa) although I will still get to read those hurtful comments.
U all don’t know how hurtful those comments are. The feeling and anticipation of checking out my comment box is like I have placed my entire assets in a single horse racing (quite =.= I know but I really don’t know how else to describe it). And everytime when I see how mean those comments were, its like a thousand arrows piercing through my heart, I feel like crying so much. But I always act up a brave front infront of others and just say ‘aiyo these people damn boh liao hor’ but actually deep deep down my heart is bleeding. I have feelings too ok.
(Just browse through what I wrote so far and i think the sequence of this post really have no coherence at all. Thinking of too many things together at the same time..........)
Ok sucha wordy posts. Shall stop here though I still have so MUCH more to say..
Goodbye.
(anyway, do u all prefer this smaller font or the previous bigger font?? hmmm....)
ps: I didn't get any 'haters' comments for this post YET.... I'm pretty surprised lol. Must be thinking high chance that their comments wont be appearing on my blog, so they are stopping all this childish actions~ Haiii should have done this long ago, lol~

Decided to blog an entry today because I think my blog looks stupid without any new entries!
I don't like it whenever I visit some bloggers' blog, and then they don't have any new updates. Very annoying i find. Do you all think the same way?? So i thought i better do an entry soon else i will be losing all my viewerships&hits. Not that i have ALOT of hits daily, but i dont like it when i dont hit a certain amount of hits a day/a week because its like me blogging for myself to read (=.=) and I really wonder if its THAT boring to read.
Hai ok nvm if my blog is boring plz DONT comment and tell me its boring because I have a pretty fragile heart. Anyway, log into Nuffnang today and WHOOHOOO when i saw the $$$ i earned, it makes me happy. (Thank you readers for clicking on my Nuffnang ads! :) Do continue to do so!!) I feel like cashing out the money already, but i think i should just let it accumulate more and then get a big harvest ;D What say you? hmmmm..
And if u've been following my twitter, I supposed you would have already know that recently i went to have my eyelash extension done!! :)
Picture of me before gg out to get my lashes done~~
So yea, initially i felt REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE in it. Esp during bathing/washing of face, omgggg i tell you i feel like plucking all of my lashes out, but i know that would hurt even more so ah i left it alone. And it looks real fake, it felt hard, my mum said it was ugly, and being the defensive me, of cuz i would go all out to say "its nice its nice its nice!!!" even though deep down in my heart, i also didn't think its THAT awesome. In fact, i think i looked weird.
It's been 1week since, and things have changed for the better. Lashes kind of soften already (maybe cuz too much of washing hehe), its more natural now, which is good. It also made my double eyelid to kind of widen, which makes my whole eye look a lil bigger now! Damn happy!
Forget to snap a before-and-after photo, but here are pictures of my lashes after its being done :)
Pretty much???
Plus the whole good thing is that about it is that i NO LONGER HAVE TO PUT EYELINER/MASCARA/FAKE LASHES anymore!!!!!! I mean, u can choose to put it, but i am not that sort of girl who have thick-thick make up kind, so actually having the eyelash extension is quite enough. Unless i am going to town or something, i may add some eyeshadow to highlight my eyes.
But other than that, these days i've only been putting a little bit of mineral powder, concealer and off i go!! It takes less than 5mins only, compared to usual times.... totally lovin it :)
Took some shots of myself today with only powder&concealer on, and of cuz my eyelash extension!!!
Anyway, is my face A LITTLE BIT sharper now???
I lost 2-3kg because i fell sick for almost a month already!
Ohya have u all heard of Etude House before? This new korean shop selling korean skincare products and cosmetics @ Orchard Mrt station. My god i think the whole shop is sooooooooo cute (pink omg) i think thats why it attracted so many people into the shop. But what really attracted me was those huge posters of Lee Min Ho!!! Whooooo do y'all agree he's like the cutest guy?! hahahahaaa i think i am so crazy over him :/
I bought a couple of stuffs from the shop.. I admit i am kind of an impulse buyer, the salesgirl can just go on and say "this one good, this one good yadayada", and the next thing would be seeing me paying at the cashier counter. Of cuz the same thing happened here in this shop BUT, i din quite spend alot, though it was enough for me to be a member of Etude House!!
Picture of the things i bought, and the lil cute pink bag behind is the carrier bag because i spend to a certain amt, hence i wasn't carrying the typical plastic/paper bag ;)
And i had a free Lee Min Ho's A4size file plus a freaking big poster of Lee Min Ho that says "You're my girl <3 br="br">
The nail polishes were one of my fav buys from the shop, accompanied by the eye cream for dark eye rings (me need it badly) haha!
Today i tried one of the nail polish, the silvery glittery one. I love it!!! It's so girlish!! I had the other one in gold, but shimmery gold kind. It's soooo pretty too but i dont have a picture of it cuz i haven tried it yet. Tried it in the shop though and fell in love so much with the gold shimmery nail polish.
Ok and today, i went to the hospital again to see a doctor. NO NO NO not taking MCs again ( i admit i am quite a MC queen), but because my mum has been tweeting everyday beside me non-stop about my cough. Everything is fine except for my cough!! Now my mum is suspecting me having lungs infection.... =.=
So she insists of me going to the hospital for another check up.....................
And now I have a new whole set of medicine to eat and complete..... argh h8 it.
Btw, I love all the stuffs that i've bought for myself this month!! Tons of goodies :) Yayyyyyyyyyyyy been spending quite a bit online though. It was sucha wrong decision to have an ibanking account.. urggh!
Ok time check, its 3.53am now. Gotta hit the bed soon!!!
Gta do my International Student Identification Card tmr and shall go for some shopping therapy... hmmmmmmmm....
Gdnight!
Have a nice weekend :)

REDANG'09
(Before I start, shall warn u all that this is a super duper LONG post)
Last last friday, I went ahead with our plans to redang against all odds; I was having a super high fever of 38.8 degrees, my parents were objecting against this trip because I wasn't even fit in the first place to go diving, and the bus journey there is like a whooping 10hours ride and they are afraid I wouldn't be able to take it. On top of all these, I was actually still under MC and am not quite supposed to leave the state.......................... tsk, SSSSSSSHHHHH!!!
But we had already paid for the coach to Redang, I asked Five Stars if we could push it back and say leave a couple of days later, and they gave crap nonsense and said we cant do that, only can bring forward the date but not push back. Like... ???!! What logic is that!! And they did not allow refunds too because it was simply too last minute.... argh :( So well, yup we decided to go ahead with our vacation, which i was glad we did because I was like resting at home for the past 1week plus and I wasn't even recovering in the slightest bit la... in fact i think it got even worst.
I was popping panadols the whole day in hoping my fever would go down. I was so afraid they will like screen you and have your temp taken at the checkpoint, and if they finds out that I am having fever, its gone case man I doubt I would even get to JB. tsk!
I got so much better after reaching Redang, its like.......... just stepping into the island, and hours ltr, I wasn't having any fever, no headache, just cough and flu. I bet its those fresh air there and......... I dunno??? But in any case, I really felt SO MUCH better there then when I was in SG. :)
So anyway, after a rather torturing 10hours ride from SG, we arrived at Merang Jetty!!! :)
There, we waited for like an hour for our speedboat to arrive. Whoo i didn't know that some resorts actually did not provide free transport from Merang jetty into redang island itself (and vice versa)! Glad that the resort i was staying provided it! Otherwise imagine topping up an additional amount of 100RM just to get to Redang island.
Journey on the speedboat to Redang was like another 30mins ride. I used to enjoy this ride back when i was here the other time, but not this time round cuz i was feeling kind of terrible. Like... seasick?? Felt giddy, but not to the extent of vomitting though. Argh that feeling suckzzz.
Us on the speedboat, me looking rather, or not, SUPER sickoooo.
And yay, we arrived at Redang Island!!! Was so happy to see the familiar surroundings, and of cuz not forgetting, my dear friend KING!!!! :D
dive centre
This is my gooooooodfriend King!!!!
We got our keys for the room, settled down yada yada, had our buffet lunch, and Yj started his diving course almost immediately!
Wasn't fit enough to dive during the first day so i was perpentually rotting on the island........ face-booking 24/7.
OMG look at how fair and pale my face is.............. I have sucha super sick face can?!
Gearing up for his first confined "pool" session! "Pool" because, confined sessions are usually held in swimming pools, and in Redang, the so called "pool" session is actually right in the sea itself, just that it's at the shore, and go up to a maximum of 5m.
Glaring noonday sun!
Whooo loving the colour tones of the sea!
We had our BBQ Buffet dinner @ the resort and that kind of sums up our Day 1!
Day 2:
Whooooo day 2 saw me jumping around happily, totally not behaving like a sick child wheee!!! :)
Ok i admit i was still sick (sinus).... but i guess i was alright to do some dives??? tsk!
Us putting on our weight belts. One thing i hate about diving is having to put that freaking weight belt around our hip. One - its very heavy. Two - it sits on the hip bones. And to top of that, after gearing everything up, we have to carry that freaking god knows how many kilograms worth of tank, and the tank kinds of put more pressure on the weight belt, which in turns presses against ur hip bone and the result of it is just very very pain..............................
Ok la maybe at least it only happens to me because i have very wide hip bones so maybe that's why...
OMG CANT STRESS ENOUGH HOW FAIR MY FACE IS~
Wearing my flipperxxzzsss
me acting cute x1
me acting cute x2
After B did all his stunts (i mean tests required of him to perform), we went for the real diving - exploring the House Reef!!
Photo of a Bumphead Parrot Fish.
We were quite lucky to be able to see a school of bumphead parrot fish!! King was telling me to see them, we gta like do a dive early in the morning at 7am!!! And we did the dive at like 1pm??? Boy i was so happy!! The picture kind of potray it as a rather small fish but its not ok!! It's like.... say..... 2.5feet? And it was a whole school of 2.5feet bumphead parrot fish!!
Photo of a Moray Eel.
SPOT THE FISH????
TADAAAAAAA IT'S A GROUPER!!!! yknow.......... the very delicious delicacy often served in chinese restaurant. It was so HUGE!!! It's at least 4feet i swear!
Nemo Nemo~
Me blowing out all my muscus i guess, or either that, i was equalizing.
Me with my famous "SHRIMP" postition. If u're a diver yourself, u should know that normally the posture of ur body should be like straight right, like almost 180degrees. I dont know why but i always have this very weird posture, my legs are always 90degrees to my body. Get what i mean? Further accompanied by the posture of ur hands (put it straight), i kind of look like a shrimp.... :(
King kept annoying me with that la, saying Redang got a new species, 'human shrimp'.... tsk! Even my sis's bf dont call me shenny/xuan or whats not, he calls me 'shrimp' cuz we went diving tgt last yr and he was making fun of my posture as well....... :( HAI~
After resting like 1hr from the first dive, we did our 2nd dive, this time round a boat dive.
But too bad i had to give up the dive halfway, ok not even halfway, it was like after 5mins because sinus was being such a bitch!!! It was so pain i couldn't equalize properly, my ear hurts, my forehead hurts everywhere was just so pain so in the end i forgo the dive and went up first. :<
Us going for our boat dive which i gave up after 5mins~
omg like super tired after just 1dive. Dont know why, diving makes u exhuasted. Diving 3times a day can make u sleep right on the dot 9pm till the next day can??
Then we headed to the beach to take some shots.
such ugly feet can only belong to guys!
Then came evening time, we decided not to eat the buffet dinner provided by our resort. Instead, we went to summer point to have our dinner!!! Whooo i remembered how nice the food was (based on past experience), this time round, it was equally nice. But sad thing is.... i cant taste any single shit.
But from what B says, and judging from the happiness on his face during the dinner is enough to tell how good the food was! Sucha pity!!! There was chicken in dunno what sauce, cereal prawns (damnnnnn nice based on experience), butter sotong (recommended by king, my first time trying it but couldnt taste anything :<) and vegeee!!!! It's so damn frustrating ok to be not able to taste anything.... like yknow the food is tasty and nice but u just CANNOT taste ANYTHING. Only know its spicy/salty/sweet/bitter, but don't have the tastiness.... arggghhh so yucky!!
After dinner, we were still feeling o-k-a-y so we decided to take night shoots!!!! :D

What supposingly be a heart, turned out like an apple =.=
DA BIAN~~~
BANGGGGGGGGGGGG~

So that was day 2 for u!
Day 3:
We forgo our buffet lunch provided by the resort again (because abit sick of the food) and settled down somewhere which i love to eat at too!!! Because they have super nice ABC (ice-kachang) for u!!
Argh deliciousssssssss food once again but cannot taste, damn sad :(
Photos from B's boat dive which i didn't get a chance to do:
Pufferfish, but not puffed up yet. tsk!
Part of the stingray family but i just dont know the name of this fish.......... anyone who knows it??
Blue dotted stingray???
school of mini barracuda
STRINGRAY.............. YUMMYZZ
Lizard of the sea
Then something funny happened during the dive, this fish kept following B around and kept nibbling his calf. And this fish is the kind that follows turtle/tortise/sharks one lor!!!
This fish must be thinking B is a turtle with that huge tank on him - acting like the shell!
oOOoOO? I see u, u see me, OooOOoo
Then after his boat dive, we went for another shore dive again because the other day i was snorkelling near the shore there, i had so much muscus in my nose so i was clearing them out. Surprisingly one whole big school of fishes swam towards me, hanging around me, eating away my phelgm!!!
OMG HOW GROSS IT THAT?!
But anyhowz, i was attracted by them!!! So it made me wanna feed them with roti so i did one more shore dive and brought roti bread along! tsk!
Visibility of the water not very good ah~~~ monsoon season yao lai liao!!
And king did one amazing thing under the water............ he drank.... RIBENA!!!!!
Like............................... how on earth to drink it while under water right?????!!!! Then he handed me his ribena and asked me to try but being a very timid person, of cuz i refused. I was afraid of drinking the sea salt water instead of the ribena, and drinking in the water means that i gotta take out my regulator from my mouth, den ltr genna choke, panic, i shoot up to surface, ltr shoot up to fast, lungs expand too fast, my ears never equalize properly, den when shoot up, ears bleed, nose bleed and worse if lungs burst right!!!
So of cuz i refused la!!
Then B tried and he gave me the "very nice, delicious look!!!!" so i tried it too. And amazingly, i didn't drink any sea water, i could taste the sweet sweet ribena taste. It was nice and i didnt get choke too, so HENG~ ah!
Best, i still dont understand how on earth can someone open his/her eyes in sea water. like.... BEST.
(fish eat my head away)
skateboard~~~
Then came night time, i wanted to go clubbing but B wanted to sleep. But below, they were like freaking blasting all the R&B music and i was so tempted to go..................... until they played the music...
GUESS GUESS
GUESS GUESS GUESS!!!
ok la they played.......... FIRE BURNING.... WHOOHOOO!!
I quickly changed and like ran out of the room and fly to the pub below hahahahahahaa so comical, then reach there, sit down and never dance because like stupid right i dance myself, dance alone. =.=
Day 4:
Sad that its time for us to leave this island of such carefree life! Sigh~~~
While on the way walking to our Five Stars coach, there were lots of vendors along the Merang Jetty selling stuffs.... then B went to buy me this NEMO fish!!!
Ah so sweet right, because he knows i must like hug something to sleep. So evident from the overflowing of pillows and plushies on my bed. teehheeee.
But the nemo he got for me, the face was like deformed???? It look kinda weird, everytime i see it, i feel like boxing it!
Ok so that pretty sums up our 4D3N in Redang.......................
Wow sucha lengthy post..... If u've managed to get this far, omg THANKIEW!!!

HOW CAN I EVER FORGET TO DO JUMPING SHOTS RIGHT?!?!?!?!!? hehehehe.

P/S EDIT: Is it animated already?? It is right?????

Bye~ I love u all!!! <3
Last last friday, I went ahead with our plans to redang against all odds; I was having a super high fever of 38.8 degrees, my parents were objecting against this trip because I wasn't even fit in the first place to go diving, and the bus journey there is like a whooping 10hours ride and they are afraid I wouldn't be able to take it. On top of all these, I was actually still under MC and am not quite supposed to leave the state.......................... tsk, SSSSSSSHHHHH!!!
But we had already paid for the coach to Redang, I asked Five Stars if we could push it back and say leave a couple of days later, and they gave crap nonsense and said we cant do that, only can bring forward the date but not push back. Like... ???!! What logic is that!! And they did not allow refunds too because it was simply too last minute.... argh :( So well, yup we decided to go ahead with our vacation, which i was glad we did because I was like resting at home for the past 1week plus and I wasn't even recovering in the slightest bit la... in fact i think it got even worst.
I was popping panadols the whole day in hoping my fever would go down. I was so afraid they will like screen you and have your temp taken at the checkpoint, and if they finds out that I am having fever, its gone case man I doubt I would even get to JB. tsk!
I got so much better after reaching Redang, its like.......... just stepping into the island, and hours ltr, I wasn't having any fever, no headache, just cough and flu. I bet its those fresh air there and......... I dunno??? But in any case, I really felt SO MUCH better there then when I was in SG. :)
So anyway, after a rather torturing 10hours ride from SG, we arrived at Merang Jetty!!! :)
There, we waited for like an hour for our speedboat to arrive. Whoo i didn't know that some resorts actually did not provide free transport from Merang jetty into redang island itself (and vice versa)! Glad that the resort i was staying provided it! Otherwise imagine topping up an additional amount of 100RM just to get to Redang island.
Journey on the speedboat to Redang was like another 30mins ride. I used to enjoy this ride back when i was here the other time, but not this time round cuz i was feeling kind of terrible. Like... seasick?? Felt giddy, but not to the extent of vomitting though. Argh that feeling suckzzz.
Us on the speedboat, me looking rather, or not, SUPER sickoooo.
And yay, we arrived at Redang Island!!! Was so happy to see the familiar surroundings, and of cuz not forgetting, my dear friend KING!!!! :D
dive centre
This is my gooooooodfriend King!!!!
We got our keys for the room, settled down yada yada, had our buffet lunch, and Yj started his diving course almost immediately!
Wasn't fit enough to dive during the first day so i was perpentually rotting on the island........ face-booking 24/7.
OMG look at how fair and pale my face is.............. I have sucha super sick face can?!
Gearing up for his first confined "pool" session! "Pool" because, confined sessions are usually held in swimming pools, and in Redang, the so called "pool" session is actually right in the sea itself, just that it's at the shore, and go up to a maximum of 5m.
Glaring noonday sun!
Whooo loving the colour tones of the sea!
We had our BBQ Buffet dinner @ the resort and that kind of sums up our Day 1!
Day 2:
Whooooo day 2 saw me jumping around happily, totally not behaving like a sick child wheee!!! :)
Ok i admit i was still sick (sinus).... but i guess i was alright to do some dives??? tsk!
Us putting on our weight belts. One thing i hate about diving is having to put that freaking weight belt around our hip. One - its very heavy. Two - it sits on the hip bones. And to top of that, after gearing everything up, we have to carry that freaking god knows how many kilograms worth of tank, and the tank kinds of put more pressure on the weight belt, which in turns presses against ur hip bone and the result of it is just very very pain..............................
Ok la maybe at least it only happens to me because i have very wide hip bones so maybe that's why...
OMG CANT STRESS ENOUGH HOW FAIR MY FACE IS~
Wearing my flipperxxzzsss
me acting cute x1
me acting cute x2
After B did all his stunts (i mean tests required of him to perform), we went for the real diving - exploring the House Reef!!
Photo of a Bumphead Parrot Fish.
We were quite lucky to be able to see a school of bumphead parrot fish!! King was telling me to see them, we gta like do a dive early in the morning at 7am!!! And we did the dive at like 1pm??? Boy i was so happy!! The picture kind of potray it as a rather small fish but its not ok!! It's like.... say..... 2.5feet? And it was a whole school of 2.5feet bumphead parrot fish!!
Photo of a Moray Eel.
SPOT THE FISH????
TADAAAAAAA IT'S A GROUPER!!!! yknow.......... the very delicious delicacy often served in chinese restaurant. It was so HUGE!!! It's at least 4feet i swear!
Nemo Nemo~
Me blowing out all my muscus i guess, or either that, i was equalizing.
Me with my famous "SHRIMP" postition. If u're a diver yourself, u should know that normally the posture of ur body should be like straight right, like almost 180degrees. I dont know why but i always have this very weird posture, my legs are always 90degrees to my body. Get what i mean? Further accompanied by the posture of ur hands (put it straight), i kind of look like a shrimp.... :(
King kept annoying me with that la, saying Redang got a new species, 'human shrimp'.... tsk! Even my sis's bf dont call me shenny/xuan or whats not, he calls me 'shrimp' cuz we went diving tgt last yr and he was making fun of my posture as well....... :( HAI~
After resting like 1hr from the first dive, we did our 2nd dive, this time round a boat dive.
But too bad i had to give up the dive halfway, ok not even halfway, it was like after 5mins because sinus was being such a bitch!!! It was so pain i couldn't equalize properly, my ear hurts, my forehead hurts everywhere was just so pain so in the end i forgo the dive and went up first. :<
Us going for our boat dive which i gave up after 5mins~
omg like super tired after just 1dive. Dont know why, diving makes u exhuasted. Diving 3times a day can make u sleep right on the dot 9pm till the next day can??
Then we headed to the beach to take some shots.
such ugly feet can only belong to guys!
Then came evening time, we decided not to eat the buffet dinner provided by our resort. Instead, we went to summer point to have our dinner!!! Whooo i remembered how nice the food was (based on past experience), this time round, it was equally nice. But sad thing is.... i cant taste any single shit.

It's so damn frustrating ok to be not able to taste anything.... like yknow the food is tasty and nice but u just CANNOT taste ANYTHING. Only know its spicy/salty/sweet/bitter, but don't have the tastiness.... arggghhh so yucky!!
After dinner, we were still feeling o-k-a-y so we decided to take night shoots!!!! :D
