Scuba Dive P.Dayang, 14-16 Nov 08

Last dive of the season along the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia... this time it was a leisure dive for me with my friends from Orpheus Dive! Although the visibility was quite bad (10m), the diving was very enjoyable and the company was great! Many thanks to Andy and Karla, Jason and Selena, Agnes and Mattias, and my patient and hassle-free dive buddy Ivan, for being great dive company!
Here are the photos!

Till the next season off the East coast of Malaysia, there's diving to be had elsewhere... including Pulau Hantu. Anyone interested? =)

Two Big Dark Round Things

I've always found them interesting, captivating even...

They call these things Eyebags.

Dank's Diving Dilemma

Many options, so little time, even less money, and no dive buddy.

Options: Cebu? P. Weh? P. Hantu? Or...?

Time: Any dates within 22-30 Nov.

Money: Anyone wants to donate/sponsor?

Dive Buddy: Should i chance he/she who's also buddy-less?

Couple these with a hectic schedule for both myself (work) and my good friend dive consultant (final exams)... i wonder if i will indeed get to go on this dive trip. For once the leave application was approved without question ('cos i had to use this leave by end of the year and 22-30 Nov was the only available window), although i did apply for it at such short notice.

Help?

Settled. Dive buddy found. Await my return and my photographs!

Why Am I Not Tired?

Can it be explained Scientifically, Psychologically or Theoretically?

Monday-Thursday
I slept an average of 5hr 30min a day

Fryday
I slept at 0530H and woke at 1000H on Fryday.
I worked till 8pm and left work at 2045H.
I went for a 5km/26min run, from 2137-2203H.
I had a Chicken Salad and Mango Smoothie.
I edited my essay, from 2230-0030H.

Saturday
I topped up petrol.
I pumped the tires.
I sent the car through a car wash.
I got home and finished showering at 0130H.

Now
It's almost 5am and I don't feel sleepy.
I can't get to sleep.

"Until I Wake Up" by Dishwalla

(link to video on YouTube)
Side Note: The video is not the original music video but shows Kara & Laura in Battlestar Galactica.

I rest my head
Between the bed and sky
Download my dread
Disarm my mind
Make it dry

Nothing in motion, and I'm satisfied
No disappointment, until I wake up
Don't want to wake up

Into clear space
Vivid vision
See her shape
At my bedside
Beam up my mind please

There's nothing in motion, and I'm satisfied
No disappointment, until I wake up

There's nothing in motion, and I'm satisfied
No disappointment, until I wake up
I don't want to wake up
Ooh, Oooooooh, Oooooooh

Nothing in motion, and I'm satisfied
No disappointment, until I wake up

There's nothing in motion, and I'm satisfied
No disappointment, until I wake up
I don't want to wake up, no
I don't want to wake up, no
Ooh, Ooh

I don't want to wake up, no
