My mind is tired, I’m emotionally tired…and I hate breathing office air!
Finally, a Crusader in our (government’s) midst.

If Divers Are Wet and Dive Deep…
Recently 5 Giant Squids (Architeuthis), one of them 12 meters long, were washed ashore on the beaches of the Bay of Biscay.
Two of the males were found to have been accidentaly inseminated.
Crikey! I thought it was just me and the wife, and millions other human beings who get inseminated accidentally.
Read on on the link up there.
Tioman 1982
Taken on my second dive (or was it third)?
Anyway, it was during the 2nd school term holidays (nowadays they go by semesters) in July 1982, and I went to Tioman island for the very first time on board the Marine Police patrol boat PZ4 (Kapal Polis DiRaja Lang Kuik), which has now been passed to the new Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency. The journey was from the naval base at Tanjung Gelang straight to Tekek. The CO, DSP Michael Lee, asked me if I could swim, and being a school swimmer, I said yes. So he said once we arrive in Tioman he’d take me scuba diving. So there I was, I donned this stoopid looking mask, J-valve tank on a backpack (nobody’s heard of a BCD then), and a pair of “two for RM10” fins and did my first dive at Renggis. That was the first time I scuba-dived, saw my first swimming turtle, my first black-tip reef shark. No RDP, nothing. Not even an air gauge. All I had was this crude looking depth gauge (in Imperial unit). I ran out of air at 70 feet..literally. That was how I knew I no longer had any air. So I removed my backpack, and yanked on this yoke for spare air, and immediately surfaced to the waiting assault boat.
Safety stop? What da fock is that? This was 1982, remember?
Come to think of it, it was my third dive when this photo was taken. I did a solo dive earlier that morning. Haha, yes, solo.
I was 16 years old..I was invincible. What was there to be scared of?
Go To The Dentist, Boy!
Cute…but quit smilin’, you mutt!
Officially B.U.M
A good friend of mine, Nazri (a.k.a MDC’s MikhQail) is now officially a B.U.M.
Yes, he’s given up his job.
What a brave move…seems a bit bravado..but nevertheless, he’s done it. I wish I could do the same, too.
But what I like most is his status today on his Yahoo! Messenger, that says, “I’m free as a bird…I’m officially a BUM.”
Yeah, bro! But birds don’t have to buy seeds to eat.
Kit and Mervyn
My friends, Kit (a.k.a MDC’s csi) and Mervyn (a.k.a MDC’s Hilk) will be tying the knot come October 1st. I wish them all the happiness in the world, since they both dive (therefore share the same hobby).
Now they want to have an underwater wedding…
Haha…easy. Just let me co-organise that.
Boy, What A Sight…
~Sigh!~ I can just continue dreaming about this girl 😉
She’s just too cute for me not to post her image here. Anyway she does good photography too and her site is at Zygzaggy’s Fotopage.
As in the words of Frankie Valli: You’re just too good to be true, Can’t take my eyes off you, You’d be like heaven to touch, Ooo I wanna hold you so much…
Thanks, Jehan.
Watch Your Ass, Divers!!
Hurricane Katrina wasn’t just bad for the people of the southern coastal states. It was bad for the US navy too! 36 dolphins trained by the US military to shoot terrorists and pinpoint spies went missing after Katrina hit a naval installation. The military is denying that any of the cetaceans are missing.
Divers in the US may end up with toxic darts up their ass.
