Diving at Tioman

Despite all the skepticism I had earlier about diving, I'm so glad I actually went for it. Saturday was a nightmare and so much hardwork was entailed, our final exam finished at 1am and this morning I had a scary experience of drowning but guess what, it doesn't matter now coz I'm a certified PADI Open Water Diver! ;) When they told me it's a totally different world in the sea and that I would love it, I didn't believe it until today. Breathing compressed air makes you a little “high” and all the marine lives you see takes away all the worry in mind. No wonder divers often say “ Turn me a fish. I don’t want to go back to reality.” I understand why now :)

Tonight, I am stargazing at the sky and saw the Orien Belt shining from up above, couldn't help but feeling abit sentimental... Hmmmm


That's yours truly chiling out at the resort while her mates have gone for the night dive...

Road Trip to Penang

Had an awesome 3 days 2 nights trip to Penang over the Wesak long weekend break. Imagine this, 5 to 6 meals a day… Basically we were eating non-stop! I definitely need a tank size stomach for this sort of trip lol. Will let pictures tell the story.

Every morning I woke the boys up at 7am to religiously work our lards off  and get rid of the food guilt.

Lorong Seratus Curry Mee.
I didn’t enjoy the black pudding but the curry soup was good.

I was hoping to get the Sisters Char Kuey Teow but friends said it’s overrated and overly priced, so I had it at Island Glades instead.

Last day, we had dinner at Hooi Boey Seafood restaurant. Seafood there was super fresh… the clams and crabs there were my favourite dishes among all.
