Quote from a friend:
"If I can't dive, I rather die!"

MUST KEEP IN MIND... be extra careful when diving...

haiz.. just lost a friend ... drowned when diving.. wat he had felt i can almost feel it. it must have been very very terrible... life is so unpredictable.. he must have lots and lots of things that he wanted to do.. but everything was taken away from him so suddenly.. wat if it had happen to me.. i cannot imagine.. i can only hope that he will rest in peace.. my dear friend.. i will keep this blog here to remind me of you.. and your dreams.. i must live life to the fullest and accomplish wat i want.. with no regrets..

i will try and cherish the ones i love more.. and to cherish the ones that i have neglected along the way.. i hope to savage what is left... even to no futile..

It is 4th June 2005. It was the first time diving. I did my open water course with Joshua, guy from IANTD. I went together with a few friends(my gf, chris , jiawei and eliss). The theory lessons were quite boring... cos a lot new terms like those decompression sicknesses...
we knew a few more ppl: brad, yanhan, mingxian, barry, and one more gal from rjc.. can't really remember her name... well.. they are much younger than me.. ard 5 yrs younger.. sighnzz.. hahah..
after the pool lesson was quite interesting. we did it at the sun sea sports club beside clementi road. kinda cool..

ACTUAL DAY:
We travelled on a van from sg to mersing. then transferred to a boat from there to tioman.. the journey took ard 3 hours. and we slept inside the boat(BIG BLUE SIX).. it was kinda interesting.
After tat we reached there.. it was awesome. Tioman itself is very nice.. the beaches and stuff. We went to Salang beach resort. it was a long way in to the resort fromt he jetty... we reached there around 3 to 4am in the morning and we slept till around 8-9am. after our breakfast we went diving
