Scuba Evaluation Dive @ Pulau Aur ( 20/7 - 22/7 ) : Day 1

Last Sunday i went for my Scuba Evaluation Dive at Pulau Aur.
Pulau Aur is an island 65km East of Mersing jetty, Johor ; near to Pulau Tioman.

Pulau Aur is the island furthest from the Peninsula that forms part of the Johor Marine Park.
This IUCN ( World Conservation Union ) catagory II marine park spans 9745 hectares, the 4th largest in M'sia.
Pulau Aur's water are calm and clear so it becomes a popular site for those learning to dive.

I received my instructor's sms a month ago about this trip and jumped on the opportunity at once,
as i couldnt make it to the previous trips.
And i've missed so many chances of diving at Sabah & Lang Tengah so i muz get my diving license this time.

And so, I attended the meeting days before the trip to get to know the other members who're joining.
There will be 11 person including me ( minus the instructor ).
And out of the 11 people , there are only 2 girls.
And 7 out of 11 are chinese.

I followed Asri ( the other girl ) and Kwok Ping ( in short, Wee ) to Mersing Jetty.
Asri's bf rented a kancil and send us there.
The journey to Mersing took 2 and half hours and my, it was uncomfortable inside the car as there are 5 people inside it.

We boarded our speedboat at our own private jetty around 5.30pm.

the top of our speedboat @ Mersing Jetty.

It's a long long journey...

The journey from Mersing jetty to Pulau Aur took 1 and a half hour.
Which was damn long...
My Digi yellowman didn't follow me all the way to Pulau Aur though...
Sigh. Stupid Digi.
Only Maxis worked well on Pulau Aur.

My 1st impression of Pulau Aur is that it looks so...."Jurassic".
I mean, i feel like i'm back to the dinosaur era and i wont feel surprised if i see a long-necked dinosaur eating leaves from the tree....

see, see ! dinosaur! =P

new species -stone dinosaur... =P

The only village of Pulau Aur.

Waiting for the transfer-boat.

the island is very coconut-ty.

The time we reached Pulau Aur is already around 7pm.

Our Chalet - Atlantis Bay Resort.

The dining area + another small chalet. That's all of Atlantis Bay 'Resort'. =.=lll

nice view from the balcony of my room...

There are 4 rooms which we divided ourselves into them.
I shared a room with Asri since we were the only girls there.
The room is soooooo damn small and worst than Pulau Lang Tengah's.
The electricity is only available from around 7pm to 9am.
Well, i expected the room to be more or less like Lang Tengah's but....well, i'm expecting too high.

3 double-decker in 1 small room. ( taken from the door...imagine how small the room is )

We had dinner after finish packing.
The food there was nice.
We are the only tourist there so we have the whole place to ourselves ^^
Our instructor always choosed sunday evening so that we don't have to be crampled with the other tourists.
One thing i liked about this place is that there is a magazine corner with lots of Scuba magazine. ^^
I can read for free! yay!

After dinner we tried out our wet suit and fins.
The wet suit is sooooooo damn hard to wear.
I nearly rubber-burnt my knuckles trying so hard to pull my wet suit up.

trying on the fins.

I slept early that night as we need to wake up at 7am the next day.
Plus i cant even use my hp..
sigh.
This is the 1st time i have to live without my hp...and him.
kind of torturing actually.....
But well, i managed to survive thru it.... =p

*to be continued*

I think i need an extra 24 hours everyday.

I feel tired so easily these few days.
Tired physically and emotionally.

I feel tired to even wanting to "socialize", well...except him i guess...
Eventhough at times i do feel empty only socializing with only one human being everyday...
I missed those crazy times.

I feel that my time is so NOT enough.
How can i possibly divide time for him, my UTM and Kch 'family', my roommate, my frens and my assignments ?
My time management sucks.
I'm trying so hard to cope with it but still i failed.
I end up giving 40% of my time to him, 20% to my UTM 'family', 10% to my roommate, 20% to my assignments and 10% to my other friends, sis and mum.
Oh right, there seems to be no private time left for myself.
Duh.

I think i'm still not ready to take my scuba diving test 2mro.
ya, i know i shud be very excited now..
But i donno why i have no feeling at all....except tired.
Hope the 3D2N stay at Pulau Aur can make me alive once more.

I have restless sleeps everyday.
I tend to wake up suddenly early in the morning around 7.30am with the anxious feeling that i had oversleep and i'm going to be late for class / dates.

What's happening to me anyway ??

Sigh.
my only energy is him.

~~That's it, i'm going to move to studio with him.~~
My only form of energy.
That's why i'm spending 40% of my time to recharge my energy.

Sorry to those i've neglected.

My hostel

I've moved to a new college this semester.

It's kind of far if compared to my old college - Kolej Rahman Putra that i've been staying since first year.

The overall campus map.

The red circle on the left is my current college, the middle one being my old college and the right is my faculty.

The journey from my hostel to my faculty is around 3km and if i walk, it'll be around a 20 minutes walk, which is quite ok actually.
But if compared to my previous hostel, it'll be only a 7 minute walk. hmm...maybe my pace is slower back then.
The 1st time i tried to walk back with chiou yann, we are lost. But after that i'm very familiar with the road. And i've tried 2 other alternative roads too...heheh...

The route that i'll take if i wanted to walk to my faculty.

My college...K12 ( Kolej Datin Seri Endon )

Introducing the Toilet first... =p

The clothes washing area...

The basins with mirrors low enuf to show more than half of my body...i'm happy with that.

the clothes hanging area.

The showers on the left and toilets on the right.

The toilet...quite clean..no shits inside...

the shower with no showerhead... T_T

Before entering my room....

My room on the 3rd floor.

The corridor on the left. The one with the kasut-kasut bersepak is Chiou Yann n Hui San's room.

The corridor on the right...

In front of my room...yea, once i opened the door can go straight to the tv area dy.
good during emergency...heheh

Enough of outside.....

Welcome to my pretty and tidy room...

...

...

...

...

after tidy baru take photo 1 la...=p

tada~! guess which bad is mine...heheh...no need say ady know la...

my roommate's...congrates if u guessed right.

The view from my window..

Karen n yee wei's block jz opposite...and Irene's too. ^^

yeah, this is my bed alright....

tidy, isn't ? *proud*

My locker...somehow the locker is much smaller than KRP's. It's sooo sempit that i owes banged my hand whenever i comb my hair.

inside.. =p nothing to see oso...

my table. I love this table + shelf. it's so spacey!

i pin up that piece of unused presentation board not to show off, but to recycle it la. Ar Hong caused me to waste so much $$ on printing wat.

My Rm2o shelf. ^^ no where to put so it ends up doubled as book shelf and bed side-table. ~~I feel clever with the arrangement. hehe...~~

plan

the back of the door....

i luv this...a perfect place to store my make-ups. ^^ and yes, that rosary is bcos i'm scared of ghost. =P

I liked the room pretty much as it's new and quite clean.
There's nothing much to complain about except that the bed is too low to store my buckets and the locker too small that i kept on hurting my hand ( x bcos im too fat la ok )

And another reason i like it is bcos i get to stay with one of my best friend in kuching ( away from penunggu nitemare forever )
and my ah ma Hui San n mummy Chiou Yann is juz next door to me and daddy han chee is juz a block away.

~~And i get to "feel" xin-fu whenever he wanted to walk me back so that we can spend time together longer...heheheh...~~

^^

and well, i'll introduce my roommate aka one of my best friend in kuching.

Sheaw Tyan and i

She's currently taking geomatic, 3rd year.
She's a cute, funny n bubbly girl and sometimes i'm amazed by wat she does.
She loves singing and are terrified of pets. ( i'm not exaggerating )
The thing i envy her most is her flawless white skin T_T and her mum opens a salon and she gets to change hairstyle everytime she went back to her hometown.
she can dye, perm, straighten, treatment...everything FOC...
T_T i want oso lo....

hmm...she's still single n available...
anyone interested? =P

Sigh.

I think my patience's limit is starting to drop.
I get annoyed easily these few days.
I tend to feel not happy about people easily.
Some words sounds annoying and sometimes hurting enuf eventhough back then i can definitely push it aside.

I hate the state i'm in now.
Maybe i'm juz tired.

Laziness is my best friend

Hmm...well...I know this word will never ever come out from my mouth..
But...I think it's time for me to lose some weight.
I know i'm getting fatter.
Ish...See first la... =P
What about a date to nearby swimming pool everyweek for a swim when i go back UTM ??
hmm...worth considering....

ah well...hopefully wont end up having a big meal after that.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm going to be in Experimental Workbase this sem.
And to tell the truth, I didn't do any studies for it for the whole holiday.
Lazy is the best explanation so far....
hurmmmm...I should have stop being soo so so lazy!
Look where my laziness brought me to last sem...yeah...a GPA of 3.29 only.

So for this new sem, i'm going to be ~~a little more kiasu~~ more hardworking.
hmm....see 1st la...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm going to wake up a little more early when there's no class.
Yeah, maybe 9am ? no, make it 10 for a beginner. =P
And maybe "walk" to FAB / library for a date maybe?
sounds like...erm....fun?
then i can lose some weight...maybe?
yeah....watever.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Duh...
All i want is lose some weight and be more hardworking so my GPA wont drop anymore.
But for someone as lazy as me, i dont think it'll work.

Whatever.

I need some boost...and maybe some "partner" to make this work...
Hehe....*evil thoughts*
I know who i'm going to "pull into the water" with me this time......
