Post Manado 2009 Feelings

Manado trip this year was good trip... had a company from a fren i know during dive camp and she is a wonderful company... many ppl on the island though we are gf bf or even husband and wife (She complain abt this as this is too old for her).... but we are just pure diving frens nothing more than that... hahaha dats y we can share a lot of things from a neutral point of view.... So wanna take this chance to thank YY for the company for the trip! =)

Diving at Bunaken was fantastic... wall diving is awesome to the max.... dropoff up till 2000+m the reefs are beautiful and its occupied by many many marine life like schools and schools of fish... visibility is rather good... and had a gd time with the ppl on the island and the locals as we visited Bunaken Village after my dive at Bunaken... Thanks Ken for the good host and guiding... Only down side is there is not enough meat dishes during the trip :(

After Bunaken we moved Lembeh Straits for Muck Diving.... totally difference dimension of diving from bunaken as visbility is only maximum 8m, whereas in Bunaken you have 20 to 30m visibility... Diving there is pretty awesome too as there are many weird critters on the black volcanic sand... i really enjoyed the stay at lembeh as it is cosy and a swizz couple really make both of our time at lembeh a enjoyable one especially the last night.... the Scenery at lembeh is awesome with active volcanoes right opposite our resort.... Thanks Sam for the sharp eyes looking for the critters and the resort stuff which make the stay so pleasent (especially the guys who cooked my maggie goreng almost everyday).

Overall the diving experience is a great one... had many photos and video but i guess it takes a lot of effort to upload them as there are too many... my camera housing also starting to have minor leaks which i might be out of photography for long, if not i gotta risk even more serious leaks if it gets worse. Bunaken and Lembeh stary skies i will never forget as it is so beautiful as it fills the skies totally at night... me myself i keep thinking about a person which i find it quite puzzling... never had such experience for a long time that i keep thinking about a specific person... even at 36.5m at a wreck in the midst of the dive together with other times like at night looking at the stary skies, before sleep, waiting for dives and in the midst of other dives.... hmmm maybe is just a one sided affair... which i dunno how it goes.... i am now half hoping and half scared cos i still hold on to hopes but still too many rejections and dissapointments in the past keep huanting me during such random thoughts about that someone.... sighz.. is quite tormenting acutally....

Putting those aside... now i kind of get used to waking up at 7am and sleep at 10am after 8 days of Bunaken and Lembeh as the sun rises like 4+am and sets at 5+pm.... now at 8am after 1 hour of procrastination i decided to blog about this.... now reality starts to come in after 8 days of holidays.... i am kind of lost a bit actually.... sports camp and job hunting is now the main priority and also catching up with ppl who really appreciates me... you know who you are... jio me out ok? =)

Oh oh one annoucement i wanna make... i finally graduated!!!! wheeee!!!! wanna thank everyone who made this possible especially my Uni friends and my parents =) too many to list... you know who you are! ppl from Yellow House peeps, Arts Club 26th and 27th peeps , Econs module frens, Rag frens, Sports Camp 08 09 peeps, Dive club, Sports Club peeps and more!
