dive tioman 30 sep - 1 oct 2006

it is scary how your lao kui (embarrasing) moments come back to haunt you sometimes...

i was on the way back from mersing to singapore, about to pass through the malaysia customs when the minivan driver said he remembered meeting me before last year, and at that time, i had forgotten to take my passport out with me when i got off the minivan to walk through the immigration centre. i had absolutely no recollection of such an event, probably blotted it out of memory, but it seemed very likely to have happened because i was prone to doing such things... anyways, i vehemently denied that person was me.

on the way home from a dive trip to tioman, which was great as usual. weather was a little grey and visibility was still poor but marine life was good. most of all, company was great. the motley crew:















i m not that small-sized, trust me. it was an optical illusion caused by standing next to two pretty tall individuals. plus, pls note that i was barefoot.
