I THINK it's a puffer fish...might be a box fish for all i know :X

Lion Fish - one of my fave fish

Sch of Jacks...it's reallie quite amazing seeing SOOOOO many fishes...

MORE fishes

Sch of catfish feeding on the seabed :P

Moray eel...looks fierce hor...the one i saw, nv even go near, it alr stretched outwards and look poised to bite..haha

Another moray..

Frog fish at Kirby's Rock...in the water, we dun see the red so clearly...cos at that depth, some of the colour "disappears" Frog fish is quite an interesting fish, u dun see clear fins, the fins look more like webbed feet...and they "walk" on the wall rather than swim...

Baby frog fish...:) i dunno why all the fishes like to frown...kekeke

Mantis shrimp, the one i saw was even bigger than this...hahaa

Blue ribbon eel :) [very well taken photo by ash]

Cow fish...apparently not very commonly seen :)

Nemo nemo and more nemos...all fierce and overly protective little irks =.= but i still love them :P

Me checking my depth + air gauge...heee

Daryl Laut - a collapsed hotel...tt day was very clear so we can see almost the WHOLE collapsed structure...

Jeepney wreck...

Statue of Mother Mary (i think)

Me and Ade...looks like we were descending...or maybe we were just floating ard doing our safety stop...wahaha

peek-a-boo...tt's me behind~

Nudibranch...one of the many ...very colourful creatures...

flat worm~

Egg of a big nudi~

Bat fish~ we saw reallie huge ones....

Hermit crab...one of the many harrassed by us during our surface interval...got one poor crab, kena dropped by roger for like 5-7 times?! i think it must have suffered brain concussion, if not at least a puking sensation due to the sudden falls..poor fella...hahaa

The 2nd from the right is my DM :) i like her...cos she will look after me...heeee

suiting up...it's quite tiring suiting up...cos the wet suit when dry is very hard to pull up, plus my suit has zips, so i had to stuff the bulky sleeves in the gloves...zzz :(

Basically i m just lazy to narrate my dives...so post photos first...:P

Anilao Trip Day 1

Airport + Day 1: Travelled to Manila with Ash, Ade & two new frenz, Andrea and Roger. Flight was at 12.40am and duration abt 3.5 hours...:P

As usual, i was a bit skeptical that we are taking a budget airline (Cebu Pacific) but the tix were reallie cheap, SGD175~ and it's the first time i am at the budget terminal...Hmmm...everything very budget lor...:P but the plane looks newer than the air asia one that i took to bkk a few yrs ago..so not too bad..ash moved to an empty seat and got the whole row to lie down on (lucky!) while ade and i tried all means to make ourselves more comfy...i think i did manage to slp for an hour +... reached Manila Airport - lost track of time from that point on...cos no watch and nv check phone...

The custom officer asked ash and ade wad they are in philippines for, after he knew that they are there for diving, he started talking abt have to be careful of sharks...O_O haha...met our DMs who are dive operators (also instructors too) - Joy and Hernel...woohoo and ade and i concussed in the back seats (w my seat belt on of cos :P) it was drizzling while we were in the car and ash was the onli one who was awake enough to talk to Joy...the way Joy drives is quite scary actuallie but i was too tired to care...zzz...By the time we reached the resort, it was abt 7am...i could hear the waves splashing against the shore...sky looked gloomy... the typhoon was still in philippines when we reached...

after my pancake breakfast, they decided that we shld slp in and skip the morning dive (HOORAY!)...our rm was the onli triple sharing...3 beds!! great! i was so scared it would be a double bed + 1 single bed...heee...by the time we woke up, it was noon time and we went for lunch (the start of our piggish life, eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, slp)

My bed + Ade's bed...

Ash's one is facing me :)

The lunch was alright...not exactly very appetising but still managed to eat enough to not feel hungry...then we chged and tried our gears etc..finding a right size for me is a bit hard...either the wet suit was too big, right size but too long, right length but too small...=.= finally found 1 tt's the right size..now comes the drama...cos the weather wasn't very good, the boat can't dock near our resort or at the shore, we had to walk a little and we had to swim a little to the boat -.- the distance from the shore to the boat differs according to the waves..when the waves come, it looks scary!! being the slow turtle i was, i was the last one to go on board...as i walked (held on to the rope) a big wave came and devoured me so toppled down like bowling pin -.- not exaggerating...damn 狼狈..first tot was lucky i had gloves on, if not my hand will have rope burn...zzz...finally half crawled, half swam to the boat...and knocked my knee..(1st blue black)

On the way out was like taking 10,001 rollercoaster rides...-.- the waves were unbelieveably huge, so i always get the feeling i am sitting the ride at har paw villa...=.= and i had to cling on to ade for my dear life, i was so scared i will get flung out cos i am light...=\ this whole diving trip is the onli time i wished i had bigger body mass...haha...and it's also after going there that i fully appreciate the terror of tsunami...cos huge waves are reallie capable of sweeping everything in its path + carry objects back into the sea...very scary!

@ Kirby's Rock - First dive was quite ok...i was less scared when i descended...There were currents at some points and i had to control my buoyancy like hell, banging into corals, wall, ade :P...finning hard!! Clumsiness~ The dive site is like a wall, so we are facing it and swimming sideways...Deepest we went was abt 60+ ft...saw quite a lot of things...the one i love the most is the tiny puffy fish Joy grabbed in her hands..SO CUTE! my onli regret is i dun have a camera to take down the things i saw~ sigh sigh, when i can control my buoyancy better then say bah...

Creatures saw - Lion fish, puffer fish, moray eel (fierce!), Nudibranches (like sea slug looking things), stone fish (super camouflaged), yellow sea cucumber, NEMOS :D, feather star corals...
First dive was 57 mins long :)

surface interval was supposed to be abt 40 mins so we dock at a nearby plc and went down to rest...ash said i looked well rested i.e. not dead like at dayang...^.^v

Dive 2 was at Caban Cove...errr honestly i dun rem much from this dive...similar to the first other than the big fat mantis shrimp we saw~ wah the shrimp is reallie like mini lobster! this dive had more fishes swimming ard though just tt they are identified as fish a fish b fish c...ahah...also saw 1 whole patch of sea urchins...i was so scared i will land on them! the spikes are REALLY long...like 30 cm long?! scary~

This trip made me realise my air consumption is quite high leh...most prob due to the depth + a bit nervous bah...

After that was back to resort and the same treacherous route back ...strong waves...zzz...

night time ade and i concussed real early...by 8 plus she was telling me she wanna go back to the room to zzz but i tot we shldn't be too anti social but by 9+, i can barely tahan myself...when our heads hit the pillows, it was off to zzz-land in like 3 seconds O.o heee

tired day~

BACK!!

back from Anilao..trip was fruitful~ though scary at times...but still quite enjoyable...other than the little hiccup at the end where i had slight food poisoning...puking is reallie no fun at all...esp when so high up in the sky -.-

saw quite a no of things this time - Frog fishes, moray eels, fierce nemos, garden eels, ribbon eels, TURTLE, big fat mantis shrimps tt look like miniature lobsters, nudibranches, lion fishes (beautiful creatures), stone fishes, scorpion fishes, TRIGGER fishes (gasps), sea urchins, sea cucumbers, lizard fish, puffer fish(my fave!), BIG enormous bat fishes, cow fish (rare sight), sole fish, pipe fish, sea snake (small small one, have to go find the full name), sexy shrimps, anemone crab, glass shrimps, sch of jacks (being surrounded by fishes, it's an amazing feeling)...[ the wonder of log book - comes in handy when i need to recall wad i saw :P]

shall post the "scary" details later...:)

友情是脆弱的？

原来时间真的会把任何样的感情冲淡。。聚少离多的结果。。。我越来越不了解大家。。话题变少了。。可是我也不想主动找话题聊了。。。

Port Dickson - 自拍~

while waiting for Mrs Goh to send me the photos, here are some photos we took with our phones...

We took our BIG BIG boss's car to PD...ade and i were at the back and totallie dun dare to talk much...:P reached at 1230 (so early!)

after lunch, we decided to go "shopping" with Uncle (aka Ade's boss)..
Hmmm..i conclude, PD doesn't have much to shop...more like buy food...ade and i were like AUNTIES shopping at the supermkt... "this one is cheaper, we buy this one lah...that one got free gift leh, more worth it!" *horrified* ended buying lotsa drinks and food back O.o

First night - Dining on the beach...*humid*

Mrs Goh still eating rambutans when the rest of us have alr put our forks n spoons down...

After dinner, uncle wanna eat durian (-.-) so we went to the nearby pasar malam...

After that, we played mj w uncle...till 2+!! so li hai~...i laughed till stomach wanna burst...heee...and thx uncle for the yummy ice cream :D

next day was team building in the morning~ turned out to be quite fun...:)

afternoon time i tot we will do sea sports like banana boat n jet ski but being the lazy pigs we are, we just stayed in our resort...played mj w angie and judy...angie shld play mj w uncle! both so dramatic..hahaha! then we went to the pool to soak water (i love swimming~) and uncle kept "chasing" jh -.-" childish leh...hahaha ade and i said we shld have filmed the process down...dam funni lah~

then we went to the steam n sauna :P hot!

finally for our wild wild west night~ but i sorta feel we wasted our time there, if not we would have had more time to play on our own =X

On the coach...

At the dinner place...

After 3 shots of tequila~

We rotted at the pool side while the rest of the bank danced the night away...and by the time we reached the resort, it was 1230...but we still insisted on playing cards b4 slping...so both nights we ended up slping at 3am o.o

While waiting for the time to go...the backgrd is our resort room...king size bed -- suitable for honeymooners...

Next day morning we left the place very early..and tt wrapped up our PD trip~
