And then you go to bed, trying real hard not to think about it. You wake up the next morning, with the sun shining at you, thinking, it shall be better. It always is gonna be better if one does something about it.

So yea.

*silent sigh*

1. Beach holidays are the best!

   

2. Diving is still superbly fun and I want to do more.
3. I got my first ticket outside of Malaysia due to extreme blindness.
4. Kermit the Frog, my favorite froggy, has a star on the Hollywood walk of fame!

   

5. Jetlag can do crazy things to a person.
6. Sea water at Cannon Beach during summer is freezing cold at 1C.
7. Driving on the right side of the road feels the same.
8. Seeing how trust of a decade is broken breaks certain faith.
9. Still waiting.

Hoping for a good September. *teehee*

Rubik’s Cube, the cube that was given to us by our dearest mother when we were really young. Probably a good 20 years ago. It got lost somewhere among our pile of toys after we moved. The cube never got solved by anyone in the family. No one.

I saw Rubik’s at Toys R Us earlier today (thanks to Han ). Seeing the cube brings back memories of me trying real hard to solve the puzzle. I bought one, attempting to shuffle the puzzle and solve it for good this time.

I had someone shuffled the cube for me at approximately 6.30pm. It is now 11.05pm and I couldn’t even get past the first part, even after reading the hints that came with the purchase of the Rubik’s Cube.

After so long, I’m still this dumb.

Argh!

I am very determined to solve the puzzle.

*twist, turn, think, look, twist*

Okie. Maybe I’ll try again tomorrow. Curse you, crazy cube.

Two is better than one. With you that is.

What is a marriage?

I still believe that the UP couple exist in real life. But many have told me UP couple is just fictional. That a marriage will just come to a point where there will be no love. It is not possible to wake up 50 years later and still have that same love feeling u have for the person sleeping next to you. All you feel after a while is just a sense of responsibility. Really? I mean seriously? If that’s the case, why bother getting married? We can all just continue going through the dating process and continue to change partners everytime we feel there’s ‘no-love’ anymore. Wouldn’t that be better for everyone?

It is bad enough to hear couples of my parents’ generation getting divorces after 20 to 30 years of marriage. To hear stories of people my age getting divorces, after only being married for a couple of years felt like a slap in the face.

Oh, and allow me to stress that when there is no love, the crazy 10 to 20 years that the two have been together is NOT going to save the relationship. The number of years is not a valid measurement of the strength of a relationship. No where near. I’ve hear too many people actually saying that they are getting married simply coz they have been together for a long time. All so very wrong.

*sigh*

So, what is a marriage to you?

The last time I ever logged anything in this book was back in July 2007 at Pulau Perhentian. Upon completion of my AOW, I didn’t make an effort to dive — at all. For 3 years, this log book was stashed away somewhere beneath the pile of books in my house until a week ago. I was determined to make at least one dive during my stay at Pulau Redang.

I must admit I forget what’s it like to dive. I forget why I love diving so much. After so long, the memories and feelings I have for my dive activities are starting to fade away. But as my body hit the water and we start our descend, those memories and feelings came gushing back in a flash, clearer than ever. I now remember why I absolutely love to dive.

I was told that diving in Pulau Redang isn’t all that great. There are less species of underwater creature to see as compared to places like Pulau Tioman or Pulau Perhentian. Nonetheless, I was contented to be able to see sea turtle getting its breakfast on both dives. I think it’s the Hawkbill Turtle. Lovely. Nudibranchs were everywhere. I must have been blind all these while. After so many dives, I’ve never spotted a nudibranchs before. Call me stupid, but it’s true. There was a blue spotted ray, a gigantic pufferfish, a shrimp and a lion fish hiding behind some rocks. Oh, and not forgetting an eel. Moray eel I presume. Other fishes seen during the dives include trevelies, parrot fishes, anemone fishes and some other species unknown to me.

Overall, I am happy with the dive; I manage to control my buoyancy and I can equalize my ears well and I get to see sea turtles, my all time favorite sea creature. If only I have the partner to dive with.

Life has been good on the beach. I’ve gotten a little too tan, but it has been good. And I am gonna be more determined about making more dive trips.

p/s: Photos to be uploaded in flickr soon. Uploaded some other photos though. Enjoy!

*sigh*

May the beach do wonders. Crystal clear sea waters may do things to one’s brain.

Just another random thought; I love riding on the merry-go-round. I especially love those huge ones with really high horses. They are the best. I feel like a kid everytime I get on one of those horses.

Need to get some of the pics edited and uploaded in flickr soon.

Sure is.

p/s: Summer here sure is pretty. It is almost impossible not to smile just by looking at them flowers.
