Good Man In A Storm
It’s been stormy for the past two nights in a row.
I know the weather is clear outside. I didn’t say it was outside.
Snafu Back Offshore
Today, SnafuDeDiver has gone back offshore on board a barge. For those who asked if the barge is bigger than the MV Kaleebso, have a look at the pic above.
So Snafu is back to watching young Indian engineers unzipping their seniors’ fly.

A Day In The Life Of Aziz Hurzook
Okay, you may ask who the f*** is Aziz Hurzook. Well, click on the link and you will know! He co-founded a company called PERSONUS, in Toronto, Canada.
He, Jacob, and Peter Jones (former President of Apple Canada). I don’t see any other names.
Thank you to an employee of the nation’s most-favoured tri-national company for pointing this out.
I also saw something on the North Californian District Court’s Bankruptcy list. But that’s another story.
Here We Go Again
Here we go again. Crude oil prices have gone up by US$2.00 per barrel over the past 3 days.
Israel has now bombed Beirut’s suburbs.
The United States of Apathy, has yet again in the show of power, vetoed a UN Security Council’s resolution to ask Israel to halt its offensive in Gaza.
According to CNN, the proposal also demanded that Palestinian militants release the Israeli soldier abducted June 25 in a raid in Israel and stop launching rockets at Israel from Gaza. In addition, it called on Israel to release Palestinian government officials and lawmakers it took into custody after the soldier’s abduction.
Ten nations on the council voted in favor of the resolution, and four abstained.
John Bolton, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said that “in light of the fluid events on the ground,” the United States believed the Qatar-sponsored resolution was untimely and out of date, and would have helped inflame passions in the Middle East.
The Organization for Islamic Countries (Oh,I See!) has issued a statement as follows:
In the wake of the recent ravaging foray into Lebanon causing extensive damage and scores of deaths among innocent civilians as a result of the indiscriminate bombardment of Lebanese residential areas and civilian infrastructure installations, Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Secretary-General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), strongly condemned the Israeli aggression against Lebanon, describing it as disproportionate, haughty, wanton, and perpetrated in total disregard of international humanitarian laws and civilized norms.
In this context, the Secretary-General has sent an urgent letter to the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Kofi Anan, expressing deep concern and profound preoccupation at the alarming Israeli escalation.
He called on the UN Secretary-General to see the new Israeli assault for what it is, in the broad context of the root causes of the conflict in the Middle East, as an action that is of a nature to undermine and destroy all efforts so far exerted to find a peaceful and negotiated settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Palestinian plight, in particular.
The OIC Secretary-General also called on the UN Secretary-General to exhort the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), as the sole international organ entrusted with restoring peace and security in the world, to urgently intervene in order to stop the present escalation of killing and the blood-letting and move for the instauration of an immediate cease-fire.
Yes, tell that to the militants who are giving Islam a bad name, too!
There is one thing that people should learn, time and time again, that “an eye for an eye will soon make everyone blind.”
The Israelis should halt its offensives, the militants should release all Israeli hostages, and the all-impotent OIC should send in its peacekeeping troops to the Middle East instead of looking as usual saying, “Oh, I see!”.
Kuantan Wreck
In a week’s time of writing this, I would probably be, or about to do, my second dive onto this wreck. Next week, save for war, violent earthquake, the sea drying up for no apparent reason, will see the end of my longest stay on dry land without breathing compressed air – 39 days.
Crazy. But not as crazy as going to work in that s**thole they call “office”.
So next Thursday evening we will all drive through the highway exiting at Senawang through Kuala Pilah, Bahau, Serting, Muadzam Shah and Leban Chondong before hitting Kuala Rompin’s Fisheries Department’s jetty at Tanjung Gemok to board the MV Wavebreaker.
Friday 21st July we should do two dives at the Nichi Asu Maru (a.k.a Kuantan Wreck – pictured above). She was a Japanese oil tanker than sank some 20 nautical miles off Kuantan back in the 1960s. She lies in 26m of water, the shallowest point at 15m. She is 80m in length, so to circumnavigate the wreck (without penetration or really taking photos) should take one whole dive.
After that we will be shooting off to the Gyoshin Maru (a.k.a Varella Wreck) located in 24m of water near Pulau Berhala (Varella Rock). The Gyoshin Maru was a merchantman converted into a torpedo gunboat by the Japanese. One day, at speed, she rammed into the Varella Rock, split in half, and sank. I gather we would be doing more than two dives here plus probably two night dives here before moving on to Tioman’s outer reefs.
On the 22nd and 23rd July, we’ll be doing the various reefs and islands off Tioman such as Labas, Sepoi, Chebeh, Tiger, Golden and Magicienne before returning to Tanjong Gemok on the 23rd.
I just hope I will be diving more frequently after that.

Decorum
Decorum, not decoration.
Anyway, maintaining decorum is for young ladies and pussies.
I believe in being forthright…not gracious nor magnanimous.
No Entry You Butt Plug
Malaysia’s most-favoured multinational company has blocked all access by employees to my blog. It seems that either the current directors cannot handle the truth, or do not want the new director to know the truth about the company so that they can con another 8,000 people for another 8 years.
Well, what can you expect from a bunch of dickheads…oh, I must apologise to all the men..I really shouldn’t associate any of those cow-shit-for-brains with anything manly.
Hmm…there is always a backdoor method…sorry, I’m not referring to one of the cow-shit-for-brains.
Fish Out Of Water
I know exactly how you feel. I need to dive…badly!
