10 Days to Bali, 9 Days to Secret, 3 Days to Janet's ROM, 1 Keyboard to my Cobwebbed Blog!

okay okay okay....so I've been a bit pre-occupied lately. What with?
Where do i start?
Was gonna post about the confinement lady from hell who destroyed my dear friend's confidence as a first-time mummy.....But I didn't!
Was gonna post about my day as tourist guide to Greeko brothers, Jamie & Greg from NZ....But I didn't!!
Was gonna post about latest updates on Amanda & Samuel....But I didn't!!!
What a slacker I am!!!

Anyway, I've received comments that my posts are a bit cheong hei....so i shall keep it short this time.
10 days to bali.....this is one trip i've been really looking forward to.....have a sense of attachment to bali .....dunno why. Actually i do hehe.....BAKSO - 5000 rupiah for a bowl of super spicy beefball tanghoon soup; Mola-mola - oooh lala; mermaid tattoo was born; Sindhu Mertha - my cosy bali nest; KETUT - our friendly friend from Sindhu Mertha! of course....much more...

9 Days to Secret....Secret is not a secret! Jay Chou's directorial debut and his song from the movie is sooooooooooo enchanting! 8/8 will be my date with him! Who wants to join?

3 Days to Net's ROM.... It's like a mini wedding for me & Janet. We're so excited about. I've bought my dress from 2 months ago....Janet's got hers...and we gonna get our hair styled on that day...and it's gonna be home service some more! This is what i call indulgence...Photos to follow....

okay....hope it's short enough. Now need to rinse off my Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque!

And now....for the non-aquatic subjects!

Think i should just concentrate on taking the fishes & corals.
These do not fall into the catogory of Lembeh Beauties.

Here are the best masak-masak photos.....

Yellow frogfish
Too bad I missed feeding time...when our Divemaster used his pointer to knock out the small fishes to feed the frogfish...hilarious! Only Dennis & Calvin were there to witness it...




Didn't manage to get a parking lot....and no DSLR...but hey, that's a pretty decent shot in my books!

The Lembeh Beauties....

Back from Lembeh 2 days ago....still feel like i'm in Lembeh....Diving was great! Water was colder than December when we were last there. Averaging 28 degrees....strong winds didn't help either. But the good thing was I didn't get a single migraine while i was there. Guess i'm starting to adapt to the long dives. It was also fun going on the trip with family....my brother, Dennis and cousin, Calvin. Plus, Ben's back from Perth and I had to make sure we were dive buddies again. Of course, it was almost a crew trip (minus 3 customers) and 99% a photographers group comprising of 1 non-photographer (ie. Dennis - the lao-jiao-who-still-owns-basic-gear diver), 1 masak-masak photographer (ie. me), 2 Dua-Long-Gong photographers (ie. Lao Beng & Lester - showing off their newfound egos), 1 videographer (Andy the druglord), 8 strobers (ie. underwater photographers with at least one strobe)....Total 13 of us. On top of that, our group of 'tech' divers had 7 laptops, 5 PSPs, multiple chargers & hundreds of batteries between us.

Highlights of the trip:
- Staying in one spot for the Mandarin fishes to come out to play...
- Pygmy seahorses and taking a decent shot of them
- Seahorse!!! so cute...my next tat?
- PSP FEVER - "ADDICTS" as Andy calls us! New addicts were created on the trip....Yi Kai, Les & my brother who keeps insisting i should not play with my PSP in front of Amanda....but we'll see!
- the smoke-loader! ;p

Downsides :(
- No mimic octopus & wonderpuss :(
- DSLR diver pushing a small fragile masak-masak photographer
- No parking lot at the Mandarin reef

OKAY.....stay tuned for the masak-masak photos (as Lester calls them!)....

Going to Lembeh.....yahoooooo!

Yea yea i know....supposed to cross over to a new blog site but have not got round to it.
My last post before i go to lembeh (can't remember the last i dived, hee hee....actually can lah but not worth mentioning!).
Work is still not finished....so hopefully i can settle most of it tomorrow so i don't have to trouble Sita to follow up for me. She already has a list of things she needs to settle while i'm on leave.
Thanks Sita!
Okay back to worrkeeee.....

New word of the day:
"Coz" used in every sentence spoken.
Example:
Coz....i want to watch Hi5
Coz....i like to eat sausage not 'hotdog'
Coz....my daddy is putting on too much weight! hahahhaa

Okay....that word is super-duper overused by Amanda, my niece....

She's so cute....every single sentence starts with the words 'Cos' or 'Because'....
New word lah...
