Pause Period

I wonder sometimes people always talk about breaking free a while from the fast pace world and jump into the deep blue for a dip will set your problems free and bla bla bla. I used to think I can't live a day without a dive trip in a year... but I am still alive.

Its been almost 400 days since my last dive and I am still living up. Just passed by Sealantis today and noticing there was a 1-to-1 session between DI and OWD, I started to feel the chill in my bones asking what the heck happened in the past 400 days? Buddies had been exploring new dive sites and packing themselves with nice gadgets while I just work - work -and work. Well, I guess that's life... nothing much is in your own hands to decide when it came to cash out for hobbies; unless you are a 24-7 conman bluffing your ways through rich crowd, exploring those tin cans business ideas and willing just to lay with just any innocent souls not caring whether they are fat, slim, expendables or destructive... sounds like someone we knew, huh?? Well then, you might just go all out in spending other people hard-earned money for your own sake of joy - the worst part, money not well spent on those souls...

Still there are some folks enjoying much in their recent trips to Tioman and Sipadan with new gadgets and "without me".... but better still, I am glad for them. Hard earned money - hard earned fun~ Well, as for this Rescue Diver whom had rest at his safety stop for more than 400 days, I guess its pay day that will decide my diving days. I don't see 400 as a huge number but it is good enough to thrill me and I can hear my inner self screaming for nitrox and sea water!!!

What to do now?? GET BACK TO WORK!!

Greetings from Perhentian.....

You might say a nicely brewed coffee or a Kilkenney draft make your day and so on for everyone else. As a diver, I would say this little fella make my day on the first checkout dive I had in Perhentian.
This little fella is the Pufferfish that we can recalled from the movie "Finding Nemo" - u know, the guy who always make himself blow when he wants to stay away from any problems.. However, this trip taught me an important lesson on Puffer as well... I came to realise that Puffer can only "blow-up" THREE times for his whole entire life. which means the 4th time he try to blow, he will have to conclude his life. Most puffers will surface and die when they can't do it the 4th time. So, life is so short but yet amazingly beautiful for these little creatures. The Perhentian coral has been a great breeding ground for them and to all divers out there venturing into the Perhentian corals, please do take care of them and don't go around poking them just for the sake of fun - you may not know that you might be wasting another Puffer's life away just that! Dive, and appreciate - its all they ask from us.
