so near yet so far

Our last dive trip for 2008: (this is gonna be a photo blog)

We went to perhentian for our advanced open water. Decided to take the 8 hour bus ride to Kuala Besut Jetty, because it was cheaper. Rm40 (after Raya surcharged). The ride was okay for me.. i didn't really care when the bus swerved left & right.. the only thing that bothered me was my butt was sore from sitting so longg!!

while waiting for our bus no 13 @ pwtc bus station

when we arrived at kuala besut @ 5.30am. So stoned and no nasi lemak ayam goreng. :(

mervin is addicted to novomin, he can't live without it!

YAYYY!!

Our holiday started!!!

YAYYYY!!

On our first night, we saw baby turtles walking really quickly and with all their might to the sea. No flash allowed, hence the blurry effect. (flash lights will hurt the turtles vision) In order for me to snap pics, Mervin was trying to slow the turtle down by putting his hand there.

i did something different this round, I played volleyball with the boys. On the 2nd game, i had carpet burnt. (ouch! it hurt even more when i had to put my booties on and fins and kena salt water and KICK in the sea WITH strong current) Until today, the wound is still healing. BUT Volleyball was soo fun and painful! my fingers and hands were sore for few days! i don't know how they invented this game.

this part of the our trip, is what i wanna share with everyone.

As i said earlier, we came to do our advanced open water. so we can go deeper and night. Our dives were mainly to do our skills and not much of a fun dive. (probably a wrong move to do our advanced) At 9am 1st group of divers from Bubbles went out to Tokong Laut, we the 2nd group at 9.30am. We were doing our deep dive so we were at 24metres below doing our skills and taking GROUP PHOTOS! sighs

1st group, did a shallow dive at 16metres.

GUESS WHAT!

they saw a

WHALE SHARK!!!!

All we experienced was taking a group photo at 24m and

swimming in WHALE SHARK'S PEE!

fortunate or unfortunate?

(of cos fortunate lah, have u swam in whale shark's pee?)

sighs. this is what happened (refer to above pic).



overall, it was a FANTASTIC holiday!

(we flew back, RM60 with 'now everyone can fly')

now back to the wedding preparations!

nothing is free in this world

bridal fair @ midvalley 19th OCt 08

we were supposed to check out Photobook's booth, but i left the bridal fair, saying to mervin, 'i don't know why are we here, and there's nothing else to do, LETS GO!'

arghh... SO STUPID! :(


Besides that dumb situation, (yes there's more) we were also there to accompany our friend, who is getting married in May 09. They wanted to do some survey, and i brought them to 'wedding couture's booth'. The sales person ask rachel to spin the wheel, and she won a free rental of wedding gown worth Rm1000 for actual wedding day. Of course, there are fine lines, you have to sign up with them.

SO... being the typical me, i was like, 'yerrr.. why she can i cannot, and i also wannnnnnnnnnttt..' so she allowed me to spin the wheel, and GUESS WHAT, i won a FREE PHOTOSHOOT AT KRABI!

i told mervin, danny.. well whoever was there that day.. and they were like ARE YOU SERIOUS! krabi worrrrrrrrr... serious ahhhhhhhhhh.. soo luckyyyyyyyyy... i was so happy.. cos to sign up that package will cost ya, RM1688!!

of course, air ticket n accomodation, is on your own.

few days later, i called my sales assistant, and told her about me winning it, and i thought i had to book my air ticket etc etc.. cos they have only certain dates available..

so she told me, its not inclusive of photo album, the album cost rm1300 (magz style album) for 50 poses, you can get a cd of the photos too. If that's too expensive, there is rm600 for 20 poses (4R album), or rm900 5R album. Blardy hell.. my happiness was crushed... and .. i said chehh.. bluff ppl wan lah.. then she said its "FREE PHOTOSHOOT" not "FREE PACKAGE" , she told me its LUCKY draw, and we don't do 'sit bun sang yi' = non profitable business.

SIGHS.

taking a break

haven't been blogging lately, i just left the wedding preparation like how i left my last blog. :P

and we are going for our last dive trip for 2008 this coming weekend.. its perhentian again! 3 times this year! woo hooo!

we're going night and deeper. awesome.

anyway, we're not doing a garden wedding. XXXXXXX many Xs' for garden wedding. Its now october, and it's been raining cats and dogs. imagine 24 oct 2009? and i can't have my guest drench at 9pm at night? right? or in the middle of our speeches, or etc etc.. a dream wedding becoming a 'possible' disaster!

It brings us back to square one, 'a once in a lifetime' (i just can't afford any screw ups) event.

so.. we're going back to the normal, boring, ballroom. dad says i can just rent potted plants and place them in ballroom. *ha ha ha* mom says our house garden **HA HA HA*

sooo.. we're not gonna crack our heads over the venue. we're just gonna have fun and dive! YAY YAY!

*remembers motto - wanna be a relax bride*

adios, hope you're gonna have as much fun as we will!
