Redang Island Diving

Some photos taken during my Redang Island diving trip, 11/09/2009 to 14/09/2009.

A pair of Crocs finally

Or is it?

Bought this pair of Crocs in the market this morning. I have no idea whether they are authentic. Who cares if they are only RM30 a pair.

Birthday Present

It was my birthday a couple of days ago and Aiyu bought this watch for me as a birthday present. Thank you!

I love watches. This one really looks more expensive than it’s price tag. I called it poor man’s Submariner…  It’s a Seiko SNZF17K1 Automatic. The 7S36 movement beats at a slower 21600 beat per hour compared to other popular swiss made movement of 28800 beat per hour.

Here it is strapped on my small wrist:

Kuala Kelawang Touge – The Real Thing

I was on a business trip to Kem Bina Negara at Hutan Percha, Alor Gajah. Things ended early and I have some time to spare. So I took a big detour away from the usual NSE. I exited at Senawang and headed to a small village called Pantai, near Seremban.

From Pantai, I took the route going thru Kuala Kelawang, Titi, Kg Chennah then headed towards Hulu Langat. See the map below. Just look at the terrain, you should be able to guest how interesting this piece of tarmac is.

 * If you intend to pay a visit to this touge, skip the Kg Chennah/Kg Siamat part. It’s just too narrow to have fun.

Scuba diving

Aiyu and I signed up for scuba diving open water course back in March. Scuba diving has been one of the things that we wanted for a long time. When my friend said he’s organizing the course for his company, we jumped in. Our instructor is Syed from Kids Scuba. They hold the record for certifying the most number of SSI Scuba Rangers worldwide.

We had 3 theory and 3 pool sessions. Today is our last pool session. The next session will be the open water certification at Tioman. I thoroughly enjoyed the pool sessions. Can’t wait to taste the salt water at the sea.

This is one expensive hobby I must tell you. Equipments are expensive. When life is at stake, you don’t cut corners. Dive trips are expensive as well. So, thing twice before you take up scuba diving. Life is short, you don’t know what will happen to you tomorrow, so I’m all for it…

This girl has no fear!

The cylinders contain compressed air. Not oxygen as many people thought.
