海阔天空 or 逃避？

Wohoo....

At first i tot i could put down everything and get back to life as normal .. but i realised i am quite a weak person .. the past keep haunting me & made me wondered every night.

Though i've got the answer to all the questions in my head .. somehow or the other, i only could force myself to accpet things as it is ; for no reason. *sigh* why does things have to be in this way ... such a weird situation ~~~ All i could persuade myself is this : "No one is perfect and people differs."

Todae met up with Lionel , my confidant for lunch at THE QUAD , had japanese udon meal. Not a bad meal .. chatted with him . Was planned to be a heart to heart session, but had two more friends joining cos we bumped into them. In the end, talked abt future career and exchanged some pointers in life . It was a nice session ... cos Lionel is realli a gd "philosopher" , always manage to console me and give me advice anytime .... A great friend , realli a blessing to know him in uni life.

Signed up for the Networking event held in Sept. Chose the General Engineering session which had big companies like Sembcorp Marine, Keppel , Singtel etc involved. It would b a gd chance to interact with the representatives, and also to get more info on the future jobs.

~~~~~~~~~Going for movie- The Secret tmr night - a double date session ... with yanni and her bf. Haha ... hope it would b great !

Another 9 days before my dearest friend - Birdie's return ..... cant wait for that day to come !!!!

Semester starts & troubled weeks!

On the dreadful day of 6th Aug, the new sem started .. todae is already the second week le ... time realli passes by without any trail . Last week been a busy week for me, as my bf's grandma passes away. So i had been gng to her wake till Thur (National Day) when the whole thing ended. MIssed the NDP on tv, heard it was nice ? Haha ... in the end spent the evening off with bf's baby cousins, brought two of them to Bukit Panjang Plaza for dinner and shopped.

Haiz .. been down lately. Struggled with a innner me ... the past scenes was haunting me every night - spent many nights thinking abt certain things , like how friendships can b so vulnerable , or people can realli forsake a friend so easily ... made a stupid decision on Sat evening , still waiting for a reply which i feel will never reach me ... This is gng to be the 3rd friendship i am gng to salvage and i hope it will turn out well.

Waiting .....

Geylang Food Trip with GIP gang

Todae had a busy day at school, though i started school late at ard 11.30pm, but i was dismissed ard 3.30pm, rushed over to JP to catch a movie with Ql, too, ZZ and Steven; Rush Hour 3 rox, it's a nice show, laughed my head off. Wanted to watch 881, but was oppossed by QL & Toot.

Met Jiaxin & C cube at Mrt control stat to set off to Aljunied tgt. Gathered with Mel at 8pm, and walked to Geylang Lorong 9th street to have our first meal - Beef Hor Fun. The street juz outside Mrt Stat was street 25, we had to walk all the way to 9th Street - but the walk was worth the long sticky walk. It was irresistable , muz try out ! Also ordered Oyster Omelette and Xin Jiang Xiao Pan Chicken from across the street ... Second meal was juz happened to be across the street, Mongkok Diam Sum ... Across over 10 servings of different diam sum, i still like the Prawn Dumpling the best !!! The skin was smooth and the prawn was big and fresh ! Then from 9th street, we walked all the way back to street 40 to taste Rochor Beancurd. To my disappointment, the beancurd here wasnt as nice as what i tasted at Rochor's street. But i fulfilled my taste bud la..and also was humoured by Steve, the joker ...

Generally, had a great time with the lot ... Sometimes, i would love to sit down with them at a cafe and juz chat the night off.... Nice peep to hang out with, though become less familiar with someone in the lot, still i believe these peep are great friends to hang out with .... lOVE THEM =p

Tioman Island -Diving Experience

(This is called fish therapy ?!)

(Me n Marg havig our free Jacuzzi after our dive)

(At tioman Island)

(tt's how i got my sunburnt !!!! )

The last weekends were a wonderful experience for me - here is how the trip goes ....

On friday , 3rd Aug, the four of us - Marg, Meixian, Dear & me gathered at Kranji Mrt station to wait for Alex - our coach. We saw our team mate- Alminz who is here to thediving course in order to be qualified to be a commercial diver ! Heard the pay not bad ~~~ but it comes with risk too . Alex came with a friend named Staurt in a SUV car, it fitted the 7 of us all the way into Malaysia. It took another 2.5 hr ride to reach Mersing from Johor. We reached Tim Motel at Mersing at ard 12 midnight and checked in. After which, we had roti prata for supper. *** Sinful meal ***

Sat mrng, we woke up ard 7.30am and had our breakfast at the reception. A mini van picked us and all our diving equipments to the Mersing jetty to board the diving sch personal diveboat. Another team from SP diving club joined us on the boat too. 3 hrs straight to our first dive site. All tgt i did 3 dives tt day .. at different islands near Tioman. Such names are Chebe island, coral island and marine park. Tell u sth - it's realli shiok to dive in the open waters ......cos i can swim with the fishes and also to view the beautiful and amazing underwater life -- THUMBS UP ! Once in the water, the fear of all danger and all tots disappeared, i put all my focus on exploring and to look out for my buddy who is my bf la. Had lunch after the 2nd dive at Tioman island - lunch wasnt tt good cos the dishes were juz maggie mee in soup, fried goreng and fries. Din eat much cos i was afraid that i would puke on boat. Cont the 3rd dive till 7 plus in the evening before checking in the resort chalet at Tioman island. Ang mohs were everywhere .... most tourists there went there for diving/ snorkeling. Dive shops and souvenirs stalls lined the streets , not to mention SEAFOOD restaurants ! Had our dinner at a chinese restaurant .... One nice dish named INDO Prawn tasted SUPERB -- the curry gravy was shiok !

Sunday mrng was bright and sunny, had nasi lemak on boat for breakfast ... M'sia lasi realli tasted better !!! Went snorkeling and 2 dives after breakfast. This time round the visibility was better in both dive sites .. and also i got to see MORAY EEL and most types of corals... Also gotta touch starfish and sea cucumber ! Saw alot of beauriful marine fishes ... such as angel fishes, hunchhead , grouper etc. Went back to the resort chalet to bathe before setting out for Mersing . It took us exactly 3 hrs to reach Mersing,no wonder i was sun-burnt !!! Turned "red" all of a sudden cos i was sunbathing for almost 2 hrs , enjoying the sea breeze ... the feeling was so great ! Slowly falling in love with the sea ....

Back in Mersing ard 5.30pm, drove all the way back to johor for dinner ! Had dinner at a chinese seafood restaurant which served also Wing Satay, the famous delicacy there ... we also ordered herbal chicken, indo prawn, butter prawn, deer meat hor fun, ommettete mee etc. Had a v nice dinner there ....

Overall... it's gng to be a memorable diving trip for me cos it was my Virgin diving trip !!! Haha ... looking forward for more diving trips to come ... =P
