Your Opinion Does Not Matter
In the end I’m stuck here. My daughters Fazira and Nisaa cried…and I felt I shouldn’t go diving this weekend. That makes three weeks I’ve lived on this polluted land breathing polluted air.
I guess I’ll have to stay in front of this PC so I won’t be bored to death.
Yeaaaahhh…tonight I’m off to Mersing. Will be in Tioman tomorrow morning on the 0900H boat.
I know…I’m supposed to be studying for my Deco Procedures written test tomorrow. But I had to go watch Winnie The Pooh at the National Stadium just now. My little one, Noorunnisaa, enjoyed the show tremendously. Well, so did I.
I’ll just announce my thanks to someone who made it possible for my family and I to go watch that show.
This surely reminds you of something:
Errrghhh…now they tell me. I still need to sit for my final papers for the Decompression Procedures course, and it’s going to be on Friday.
Well, looks like I’ll have to divert to Tioman then. 🙂
Either way, I still win.
Show me the money, guys! Haha!
I’m off to Perhentian again…tomorrow. Yippee!!

I don’t like football…don’t like watching football.
That’s the general rule.
However, every four years, I ignore that rule to watch the best of the planet battle it out in the FIFA World Cup. Last night’s game between Ukraine and Switzerland was superb. They all played fairly (I cannot say the same about the Netherlands when they battled Cote d’Ivoire and Portugal). They drew 0-0 after 90 minutes, and neither side scored a goal after the 30-minute extra time. Ukraine however scored 3 goals in the penalty shootout while the Swiss scored none.
My first exposure to the World Cup was back in 1982 when Paolo Rossi, Littbarski, Maradona were all youngsters and were still playing. Me, and friends Hafiz Omar, Adlan Ali, Azlan Ramli (formerly of TM Net), and Nazli Awang Had (formerly of some unknown company), were swimmers, rather than footballers. We used (or abused) the nightly permit to watch football on television at the TAR Hall to go about doing what we liked doing best: mucking about. And 3 nights ago, hafiz and I met at the McDonald’s at Section 2 in Shah Alam to reminisce about those fun-filled days.
Kids…no real responsibilities.
When I feel down like this, they really should show a re-run of Padayappa. I especially like the song Kikku Eruthe.
Now, where’s that vodka lime….???
This was the view everyone in the group I was with saw, when we went to Koh Lipe during Chinese New Year 2006 holidays . It was a soothing sight after a 4-hour back-breaking boat journey from Pakbara…the result of arriving at Pakbara jetty 5-minutes too late. The 4-day stay at Lipe was truly heaven. Lipe encompasses what a diving/holiday heaven should be….unblemished by development, crystal clear waters, friendly people, cheap food and rooms…and everything still charged in Thai Baht.
But most of all, the company was good, the Black Moon Party was good, the bar-hops were good, the beach-side music was good…
Putradiver, Zarir, Kudinne, Narong, Shawn, Alia (change your name whenever you go to Thailand, please), Borhan, Ery, Zainal, Zainal’s wife…
Dang, I miss those good 4 days. 😦
