Pulau Kapas Malaysia

Recent dive trip Last weekend..

Stayed at Kapas Island Resort, Terengganu

This was a 4D3N trip, suppose to be full of dives and fun!

Wanted to try the wrecks, reefs.. But... only did 1 dives bcos of the weather, strong currents, big swells, low visibility =(

The 1 and only dive was stil rewarding..

Spotted some nice nudibranchs and explored the reefs.. still managed to catch some clear pictures despite the low vis..

Dive with the this operator (think its the only dive shop on the island)

Sunrise at Marang jetty

Magnificent Chromodoris (1st time i met this cute guy)
This island is not visited by many divers. i think the other sites will be better, would stil like to go back and try the wrecks.

2007-02-11T20:18:00.000+08:00

It has always been under the shoe rack outside my house. For months, more than half a year! That day when i went back, took off my safety boots, I did not see my pair of new balance sports shoes!! Its not there where it should be! ah so depressing to know that someone stole it! Really hate those people!
My auntie said might be the garang guny man! (,") No matter who, juz hope they fall whenever they wear my shoes! haha "Jiu de bu qu xin de bu lai"

Few days ago, bought a new pair for chinese new year! Wish for a better year! =)

Flying High

2007-02-01T22:38:00.000+08:00

The aircraft is out on the apron waiting to be released! All the hard work and effort the whole team had put in, is worth it! Grueling man hours and sweat!! As I looked at the aircraft awiting for the skies, a sense of satisfaction & accomplishment sets in.

Another plane i touched, more knowledge i gained & experience i acquired! Thanks to all my positive mindset & attitude!

Thank you for being so supportive & understanding!

The Gathering

2007-01-27T13:57:00.000+08:00

Last Sunday went to Lay Eng's house for her 21st Birthday! She invited all the secondary sch frens! Really met up with lots of them and chatted really quite a bit! Catching up with one another, updating each other! In the past we did try to arrange gathering sesions but always few turn up. Her celebration was a nice 1, brought all of us together again!

Almost all of us are turning 21! Can't really believe it! Time flies..

Best wishes to all of us!

MY On the Job Training

2006-12-23T15:17:00.000+08:00

This was my 1st OJT experience in Seletar Airport. Just our 2nd week in the hangar and i'm learning picking up as much as i can. Besides working there is also lots of fun hanging besides a B737, A320, A321.. narrow body, small planes!

My first task was working on a B737-800. I was attached to the cargo compartment. Oh really hot stuff working inside the small and cramp area! But i took it as a training and worked hard. I did enjoyed myself working with my colleague Eugene and 2 senior from China & Taiwan. They are both experienced technicians who've worked for quite some time on planes.

On Wednesday, all the work has been completed ahead of schedule, the plane was towed out onto the apron, doing pre-flight checks, awaiting for departure to its new destination. When i looked at the clean and well maintained aircraft, I felt a sense of acheivement! Proud that i'm part of the team, all the hardwork is worth it. Into the blue skies! =)

Before i went the OJT, i kept thinking.. will the people there be willing to share their knowledge/skills and teach us?? i got the answer.. the people at the hangar were very friendly and willing to impart us the knowledge & skills. Though its hard work, long working hours, harsh condition, a bit of dangers here and dere, got to be careful.. I'm happy working with the big birds of the skies.

"Croc Rules" Steve Irwin

2006-09-04T22:56:00.000+08:00

Tribute to Crocodile Hunter

CAIRNS, Australia - Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and conservationist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. He was 44.

Irwin was at Batt Reef, off the remote coast of northeastern Queensland state, shooting a segment for a series called "Ocean's Deadliest" when he swam too close to one of the animals, which have a poisonous barb on their tails, his friend and colleague John Stainton said.

"He came on top of the stingray and the stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart," said Stainton, who was on board Irwin's boat at the time.
Crew members aboard the boat, Croc One, called emergency services in the nearest city, Cairns, and administered CPR as they rushed the boat to nearby Low Isle to meet a rescue helicopter. Medical staff pronounced Irwin dead when they arrived a short time later, Stainton said.

"We have probably lost one of the most passionate wildlife people on this earth," said Irwin's producer John Stainton, who was filming with Irwin when his heart was pierced by the stingray's venomous tail.

I came across the news on 9.87FM, couldnt believe it at 1st thought i heard it wrongly.. On the tv news and saw the report!! Oh my goodness its hard to believe really sadden by his dismiss..
Wacthin Animal Planet Croc Hunter has always been 1 of my favourite channel in my free time! Hard to believe we lost such a passionate nature lover.

I do not know how did the stingray pierce him.. some questions in my mind.. did he came across it accendientally? From my many encounters wif stingrays in dives, Stingrays dun attack divers unless threaten, provoked or stepped upon accidentally... was he careless? I tink its unlucky some kind of freak accident! His spirit lives to be remembered by many and!

How i wish this did not happened!!

The Zoo will miss him and so will his family frens and fans..
