This may be my last blog posting for 2006 as tomorrow is Aidil Adha for Muslims in Malaysia. The day after tomorrow we will be in the new year of 2007. Saddam Hussein won’t be celebrating either day.
I wrote some of the things I would like to achieve in 2006 and they are as follows:
For 2006:
1. I’m now doing my Divemaster training
2. Hope to at least become an Assistant Instructor before year end
3. Dive HMS Repulse
4. Conclude my land and timber sales deals (I hate finnicky buyers)
So where am I now?
1. I am now a Divemaster.
2. No, I haven’t begun to do my Assistant Instructor course as my priorities in diving have changed.
3. HMS Repulse is out of the question as the organisers cannot guarantee the safety of the LOB in Sri Lanka.
4. The buyers are still finnicky; I am now trying to conclude several land deals.
And what are the other things that have happened to me in 2006?
1. I completed my Decompression Procedures course.
2. I no longer work for Stale Tandoori Store.
3. I have moved back to my old (new) house.
4. I dived the Nichi Asu Maru and Gyoshin Maru wrecks.
5. Bought a Princeton Tec Shockwave LED dive light.
6. Made more friends (divers/non-divers).
What do I hope to achieve in 2007?
1. Get that LOB going.
2. Do my Instructor course and complete it, of course.
3. Do my KISS CCR course and buy one unit (manual).
4. Do my Extended Range course.
5. Do my Trimix course.
6. Do one more course that some friends and I plan to do.
7. Close the land by the beach deal (and several others in Kota Bharu, Langkawi and Bangkok).
So, if you look at the photo below, remember I asked how many of those in the photo would still be there at the Stale Tandoori Store? The answer is two.
I only wonder how much longer can the company sustain its operations, or how many more con-jobs can they do to get money to pay the employees.
