Seoul Garden

Hi Guyz..Its another week of leave for me again.How nice, thou its kind of boring with nothing planned out but its still okay.At least, its still better than staying in camp the whole day not doing anything.

So, yesterday night went to Marina Square Seoul Garden for dinner.We were actually celebrating Brother's Birthday which falls on 2 April.Well, since its a weekday and everyone is working and stuff, we decided to have a meal yesterday.Its just a normal birthday meal ba.I felt pretty guilty thou because I ate quite abit.Been wanting to lose weight so had been skipping meals and eating lesser during meals.Last night was a sinful night but then again its all for the joy of brother's birthday.Haha


Just received a call from my chief clerk while typing this post.My application for studies had been approved by MINDEF..So yes..school is going to start on 14 April and after 2 years i will have to serve for another 4 years to complete my contract.Haha...Thats pretty long.

Anyway, I have made up my mind.I want to attend church reguarly on Sunday.I find that attending church is great.Peaceful place and quiet place. Felt more at ease when I attend mass.Heehee..Going to drag mum with me to church.

Im going to study hard guys, I want to go Australia and study..

Been missing you badly.. ='(

The old Jared is dead, here comes the new Jared.

God bless one and all.

Bored?

Hi guys, its the day of the week where you have nothing to do and going nuts over everything.Yes...Im going nuts over certain things.Guess what??Im on leave the whole week with nothing planned out.

Anyway, been feeling weird, lost and not myself again lately.I dont know why.Theres something I want to say but i cant.Theres certain things that i want to bring up my courage to tell you but iI always go speechless.I have not had a good laugh for a long time I guess, when was the last??Im like hanging in mid air trying to guess what you are thinking and what you want to do. But then again, I questioned myself. Is it right for me to feel this way??Is it right for me to move on this way?? You have been nice to me, I appreciate it. You have given me support for the past 3 months, I appreciate it. You have told me how you felt, I appreciate it. You have given me laughter and I appreciate it. I thank you in all different ways that I could. Everything was all worthwhile.

Its so funny how one feels and think. How one manage different situation and find its solution.How a scar left deep within you affect your judgement and stop you from moving on.Isnt it amazing how human brains actually works??

Anyway, I have been reading my Diving manual almost everyday and I must declare that Im done reading.Its tough having to read and understand every single chapter and I realise its not easy being a Dive Control Specialists. It takes alot of courage to bring a newbie or even a experience diver out for a dive. To teach something that is not what you do for a living. But its my passion.I love diving, I love the underwater world.The relaxation I received everytime I go for a dive trip. Something a non-diver will not understand till they have witness the beauty of underwater life. I want to do well in diving, study hard for the courses and keep moving on. Its all about passion and interest.Yes..I promised the photos will upload after this post.

Thanks for being there all the time.Though Im feeling kind of confused and hanging in the air but its okay.Everything that I have done for you is worthwhile.

I miss you..

May Almighty GOD bless everyone out there.

The click

Hey guys..just a random update..Nothing much to do at the moment while transfering some dive photos..Will upload some nice pictures tomorrow or so..

Anyway, today is "Good Friday".We didnt go to church because all of us overslept so i guess we will be going on Sunday for "Easter".

But today main post is not about "Good Friday".Just now watched "Click" on HBO, I kinda find it a meaningful show. Having being able to stop time, fast-forward time and also to go back to the past, seeing what you have done.I realise every human being is the same.We only realize how important certain things or people are to us once we lost it.And of course, we cant turn back time or even stop the time to change the situation. I realize how we should really make good use of the time we had with our love ones.

Going to the point.I wouldnt say I was feeling down or happy this couple of days/weeks.I had a great dive trip apart from the travelling, I had my new car, was accepted a place in school and of course i had a great time laughing and a great company.Happy events jumping into my life but yet again i was not 100% contented.Why??I dont know...I just have this feeling of being lost at times. I keep thinking of things that i regretted doing that turns me into what i am today. I regretted not treasuring my love ones. Now, I want to change.Start anew and be a better person with a nicer character. Learn to treasure and be nicer to people around me, and also learn to understand people.

Maybe its time to change to be a better person. Sometimes feeling inferior will not bring us far. We just need to accept ourself as who we are and what we are.

I miss you

cheers

Back from Perhentina

Hi guys..Im finally back from my first dive of the year. It was a great dive i should say, although the visibility is not really good, current is strong and choppy surface but well its a challenge to dive in this kind of conditon.

10 hours plus ride to Pulau Perhentina was a killer.Took a car there and we just keep driving and turning and speeding to reach our destination.It was pretty tough, reached the jetty like 1700hrs and took a 1 and the half hour boat ride to the island.The boat ride was crazy, have you guys taken "Pirate ship" in theme parks before??That was what its like taking the boat to the island and to the dive site throughout the whole trip.So ya..can imagine how choppy the sea is.

Anyway, saw many new fishes that i have never seen before.Blue ray was one, barracuda, puffer fish, trigger fish, turtle and clown fish.Oh ya...not forgetting, i did a wreck dive too.Theres this vietnemese wreck about 23m in depth.It was the first time im doing wreck dive and im also the one leading the dive.Although its easy but the depth made it tough, there wasnt enough air to explore the whole wreck.Heehee..

I wont say much about the trip here but overall its fun.I would say its better than the other trip in terms of accomodation and dive sites.But the negative part was the food, waited like so long to have our meals and usually we have to rush through lunch so that we will be in time for the afternoon dive.So ya..didnt quite like that.

Ehmm...oh ya..i lead 3 dives as a practise for this trip.Didnt do quite well i guess.Only did well for the wreck dive because it easy i guess.So ya..im going to try improve on my navigation and stuff..

Guys, that should be all i guess.Nice dive trip, nice dive sites.I will want to go again instead of Pulau Dayang or Pulau Aur.Im planning the next dive trip but need to get some information and contacts first.

Till then, enjoy your life..

Miss you so much during the trip

Godspeed!!

Hi all...The week has finally come to an end again.How fast..heehee...so ya...im getting fat having all those dinner this week.Out of 3 dinners that i had, the company dinner is the best.The rest was a failure.haha..

Anyway, lets update abit.Dive control Specialist course had finally started today.Received the student kit and from now onwards every tuesday and Thursday will be the theory lesson.This course is very different from the other courses i went.I dont have to do much reading or planning for other courses but for Dive con, i have lots to read, plan my dive trip and lead dive.So its not going to be easy.I will try my best and of course with someone support.Heehee...

So next week, i will be leaving on wednesday morning for dive trip and will be back on sunday evening.So ya..wont be around for like 5 days.Its a good break away from work and stuff.Anyway, there isnt anything much to do in camp as everyone had left the service.Thats a plus point because we wont be on standby for that idiot who escaped.
