Diving Story
Monday, July 13, 2009

Felt very angry because I started to sneeze and caught a flu the day before my flight to Perhentian Island. I know I wont enjoy as much if I fall sick. I do not want to cancel the trip also because it was since 10 months ago. Got so much of work to clear and emails to send out before I go for long leave.... Last minute shopping hoping to get a good full length swim suit to protect myself from some minot injuries, etc etc ... finally finished packing, shopping, e-mailing at about midnight , Gosh... only left with 5 hours sleep

Arrived at the island about noon time and felt so sick. Can feel the fever is on its way. Thank God that afternoon there's no dive class. We were only given the Open Water Manual to read and prepare for exam. About 6pm, I felt the fever already and got 2 panadol from roommate and try to sleep at 7:30pm :)

Felt better after a good sleep. Fever was gone, but flu was still bad. Still want to go for diving, but with fear , hahahaha because I know it's more difficult to dive with flu. The 1st incident starts here :) I also felt backward when I try to carry the tank. Under estimate the weight of the tank when Instructor let go, ahhah. Survived 1st Dive. Yeah !!!

No casualty so far, it's really a good news, only thing is, I got some injuries on both legs due to not able to control my buoyancy underwater. Most of the time I was only crawling on the seafloor and got scratched by dead corals.

Started to have more confident, so I was moving quite freely, took picture with Nemo ! and suddenly... 1 of our friend went missing, Instructor asked to stay still and wait for him to come back..
Tada, I fell down into a gap between 2 table top corals. Oh no!!!! That is so "malu-fying" (shameful). Firstly, I also destroy some corals. Secondly, how can I fell down in the water?
